Gregory Boan, Global Real Estate AdvisorDear Greg: Now that I am settled into my new home I want to take this opportunity to thank you and applaud you for getting me through the real estate selling cycle so effortlessly. From our initial meeting right through to the closing, you made it simple and seamless. I placed my trust in your knowledge of the intricacies of the real estate industry and in particular your knowledge of Highland Beach real estate. I was not disappointed. You exceeded my expectations. Greg, you are truly a professional on all levels, and it has been my pleasure to work with you in achieving such a quick and successful outcome in selling my home. I would highly recommend your services to anyone wishing to purchase or sell their home. Best Regards, Barbara _______________________________

Gregory Boan, Global Real Estate AdvisorDear Greg, We are finally settled in, and just want to thank you again for the wonderful job you did selling our home in the Brighton. We have purchased and sold a number of residential and commercial properties over the last 40 years, and you are by far the most professional, reliable realtor we have ever worked with. You followed through on every promise you made to us in terms of how you would market our home and how you would advertise it. Anybody can put a listing in the MLS, but you went way beyond that. Your true talent, however, was negotiating and closing the sale. There were a lot of parties to deal with in our sale, the time frame from signing the contract to closing (less than 3 weeks!) was obviously incredibly short, there were some complicated financial issues, and you pulled it all together. I can't tell you how much we appreciate everything you did, and we will certainly retain you for any future real estate dealings we have in South Florida. Thanks again for everything. Ryna and Ken Mehr P.S. Also thanks again for all your hard work finding us an interim rental and with the closing on my brother Lewis's house. Everything went smoothly yesterday, and the funds were transferred this morning. As usual, we tell everyone how great you are. Wish you were working in Bend, Oregon. Ken & Ryna Mehr

Gregory Boan, Global Real Estate AdvisorI am pleased to share I recently purchased a waterfront home in Highland Beach. Living in NYC made it difficult for me to see new listings as they came on the market. I reached out to broker Greg Boan, a specialist in waterfront properties who was referred by a number of people who had used him as their broker in the past. After my initial conversation with Greg, he knew right away what I wanted after considering my size and location preferences I needed for my family as well as my budget and particular taste. Greg quickly sent me listings which were dead on . I knew right away that I was given not only a great agent referral but someone who actually understood what my specific needs were. Since I had already been looking in Delray Beach, Boca Raton and Highland Beach I knew exactly where I wanted to be. This was very helpful for Greg in finding the perfect home for my family. One evening as I was talking to Greg, a listing popped up on MLS and Greg instantly told me this was it . Often in these areas of Florida estate sales a property will become listed as seniors pass away and members of their family are forced to sell remotely. Greg told me jump on it . He nailed it . It was not only what we were searching for, but directly on the Intracoastal with low HOA fees. And, also in great condition $150,000 below market value. Greg keyed in on this instantly and as we spoke he emailed the seller’s agent immediately, (it was 9:00 PM on a weeknight) the agent responded arranging a showing for Greg the next day. He previewed it, Face-Timed me from the property and we made an offer on the spot. Knowing the area and having a relative who confirmed it was a great investment, we were made even happier when our bid was accepted. Greg scheduled a home inspection resulting in the discovery the roof was leaking. He then artfully negotiated a substantial price reduction saving me over $9,000 off the sales price. He also aligned us with specific contractors we could consider to rehabilitate the home to my wife and my taste. We arrived a month later for the closing. My wife and I did a final property walk through inspection and saw the home and community were perfect just as the pictures and videos depicted that Greg sent us. We also met with some contractors he had given us (who I picked out from his referral list) and we closed on the property later that day. The closing was the quickest and smoothest closing I ever had. It took a total of 15 minutes with no issues or liens or surprises that can pop up as they can do at the last second. Greg made the process so easy, handling all the details from the survey, title policy, wiring instructions and documents needed to be signed. He took care of all of my paperwork in the correct manner with the seller’s attorney, the Home Owners Association and Title Company. As a huge benefit, I did not even need an attorney. My wife and I are so grateful to our Realtor Greg Boan for his professional demeanor and expertise. He made this process an easy one and we will be more than happy to send all of our friends who will follow us to Florida as we start to work less and think of the next chapters of our lives. Thank you Greg!

Gregory Boan, Global Real Estate AdvisorOur long time broker Gregory Boan found two winter homes for us over the past 11 years. One by the ocean in Deerfield Beach, and a second in nearby Spanish Riverland by the beach in Boca Raton. He subsequently sold both of those properties for us at a profit. In addition to always finding exactly what we were looking for and selling them at our advantage, he also assisted us in setting up turn-key home services for cleaning, landscaping, pool, and general maintenance. As a boating expert he facilitated boat dockage and maintenance for our yacht and always helped us with all the normal problems that arise out of absentee ownership. We have maintained a close personal relationship that has now lasted over a decade. We strongly recommend Greg as your real estate professional.

Gregory Boan, Global Real Estate AdvisorDear Greg, Jerry and I sincerely appreciate your skillful guidance and professionalism over the course of our property search which was almost a two year endeavor. Real estate agents come in all flavors and frankly few have the business acumen and professional sales experience like yourself. I know it must have been a challenge for you since we were undecided as to what and where our preferred lifestyle might eventually be in Florida. We considered country club and waterfront communities from Boca Raton to Jupiter and with patience and your comprehensive knowledge of both venues you found us the perfect home in the Boca Marina Yacht Club. I might add it was a rather complicated transaction but you eased our concerns setting realistic expectations, resolving all issues and those usually transparent to us. You are the BEST !!! We highly recommend Greg to any potential seller or buyer and we’d be happy to talk live with anyone considering Greg as their real estate broker. Sincerely, Elyse & Jerry

Gregory Boan, Global Real Estate AdvisorDear Greg; I apologize for taking so long to write this letter, which has been on my mind for a long time. From our earlier talks when I was in Florida, you already know how impressed I have been with your kind services you provided in connection with the sale of our house in Highland Beach. As a retired lawyer who has done a fair number of closings over the years, I have dealt with many realtors and consider myself in a better position than most to judge the performance of a particular broker in a particular sale situation. In my experience, which includes the sales of a number of my own properties, you have to be ranked in the top 1% of brokers I have dealt with, for many reasons including: You gently guided me past the many challenges we endured in the listing and sale of our home, including letting me rant whenever I wanted, but then patiently explaining the situation to me. I tried to be dispassionate in my approach to the sale, but did not entirely succeed. You were always calm and professional in your approach to every obstacle, of which there were many, and in explaining your recommendations along the way. In our various dealings with several potential purchasers, your actions, without exception, displayed ethics and integrity of the highest order, a trait I especially value. You went far beyond the duties you assumed in accepting our listing, including encouraging me to submit suggestions to improve the listing language and pictures; you were gracious and enthusiastic in adding or changing pictures where we agreed it might help. You also helped in keeping the property clean before and after I left town, in choosing and coordinating with several contractors needed for repairs to the property, in overseeing the transport or donation of items left in the house after I left town, in employing a yard person to bring long neglected landscaping up to par, etc., etc. One of your best suggestions was to cut some of the bushes and trees back to open up our view, a venture you took personally, doing some of the cutting and raking yourself. There is more, but I hope this gets the point across that I was beyond pleased and impressed with your making a difficult situation much less stressful than it might have been. I would strongly recommend your services to anyone needing a mature but energetic, resourceful, and knowledgeable broker possessing all of the above described qualities. With appreciation and respect, Graham

Gregory Boan, Global Real Estate AdvisorGreg helped me find the home I was looking for and worked thru the process patiently to help negotiate a fair deal. If not for Greg I believe I would not have found my seaside home in Highland Beach, it was the first house he showed me and I knew than that it was the one for my family and I. Thanks for all your Help Greg. Regards, Jon

Gregory Boan, Global Real Estate AdvisorGreg sold my waterfront property in Highland Beach. I was very happy with Greg Boan and highly recommend him. He really knows the market and that helps when he is working with buyers for your property as well. He gave me good advice along the way from the beginning through the close. I have no regrets choosing to work with him. I had interviewed other agents, but felt my listing would get lost with their other properties. I didn't feel that way with Greg. I felt confident and trusted him.. This was important because I was an out of town seller. He handled everything very professionally. Sincerely, Jonathan Hyland

Gregory Boan, Global Real Estate AdvisorOur real estate broker Greg Boan secured a community record price for the sale of our Boca Raton home that even exceeded the buyer’s appraisal. This was an obstacle but he discovered erroneous information in the appraisal, appealed it, convincing the buyer’s bank to re-appraise and increase the property value and loan amount. Greg then found our dream home in Parkland Florida that was everything we wished for and much more. Greg set up and flawlessly coordinated simultaneous dual closings with financing on both sides, two banks and two title companies. All the while navigating many logistical issues that to us seemed extremely complicated but he assured us everything would be fine. In the end he seamlessly dove- tailed everything together as promised. We are so very happy! He is an experienced professional broker not just a sales agent and possesses a broad knowledge of real estate law which was very helpful but more significant is his sales and business expertise resulting from decades of experience. We would strongly recommend Greg as your broker to buy or sell your property. Thank You Greg, we love our new home!.
