Gary Mesnick

Recently I had the pleasure of working with Gary Mesnick on the sale of our home. Gary was both knowledge and professional at every step of the process. He did research to determine what price we should list our house and sure enough we were under contract in 5 days. He’s a great negotiator and was able to get us a full price offer from a great buyer. The rest of the process was seamless all the way through the closing. I would highly recommend Gary to my friends and family. Jessica B

Gary listed our home and within a few days we had an offer. Gary worked out any and all problems quickly and to our satisfaction. He is really knowledgeable about the real estate market in this economy, which gave us a lot of confidence in him. He took care of us at every turn and we felt he was really on our side. He negotiated a complicated sales agreement for us and we got through escrow very quickly. Gary really believes in what he's doing and that made the stress of selling a house so much easier.

To Whom It May Concern: My husband and I buy investment property. We work with Gary. He is professional, attentive and extremely knowledgeable. He makes us consider all angles, such as is this a sound investment, is this a house in a neighborhood that will stand the test of time, can we upgrade this house to our standards without breaking the bank, etc. Gary was an investor, so he understands our concerns. He is also an expert in negotiations. It is difficult these days to know the real value and to navigate between short sales, foreclosures and just good deals. We trust Gary to have our best interests at heart. He helped us find exactly what we were looking for and was patient during the entire process. We got a great deal and though at times we thought of giving up, Gary was with us 200%. We couldn’t have gotten this house without him and his team and will certainly rely on his expertise in the future. We highly recommend him whether you are looking for your dream home or an investment. Our overall experience was excellent. We will definitely use Mr. Mesnick for future ventures in business.

To Whom It May Concern: We are very happy to have worked with Gary Mesnick in buying our first home. He made us feel comfortable right from the start. He gave us access to 2 listing sites (more complete and accurate compared to Trulia/Zillow etc.) and let us drive the home search, but was always available to answer any questions we had. This helped us pick homes which suited our needs, within our budget. Gary was able to schedule viewings for all the houses we were interested in, at our convenience - after work and on weekends. Being first time home buyers, Gary’s experience (over 30 years) and market expertise helped us tremendously. He gave us space to look through the houses on our own and we never were under any kind of pressure. Gary also helped us understand several features we should look for in buying a house, features we wouldn’t have noticed otherwise. Gary was always reachable over the phone for our queries and on the rare occasions when we had to leave a voice message, he called us back within 30 minutes. Once we found a house we liked, Gary did a comparative analysis which helped us make a strong offer. Gary’s analysis came very close to the actual numbers calculated by the professional appraiser. Gary’s list of preferred vendors from home inspectors to carpet cleaners and everything in between has been a huge bonus. We closed on a home within 2 months of meeting Gary, and our reaction after we closed on our first home was, Wow! That was easy! Shahar & Hafees

To Whom it may concern: My husband and I have submitted two letters to describe our experience with Gary from our two different perspectives. We were first time home-buyers, and I was very nervous. I had heard plenty of horror stories about how stressful and frustrating a process buying a house was. We talked to a few realtors who seemed OK, but made us feel as though we were merely another sale for them. Then we discovered Gary, and I am so grateful we did. He made me feel comfortable from the start, and the feeling grew throughout the process. He demonstrated both a genuine determination to help us get something we were truly happy with, and also expertise both as a realtor and a business man. We knew that he took the seriousness of the decision and the amount of our money involved personally, as if we were his own family. We were also confident that he would fight on our behalf to get the best possible price. He is an excellent negotiator as well as a wealth of information about houses and the real estate game. He answered all our questions, sometimes taking time to check with the group of experts he has aligned himself with. He lets you take the reins instead of forcing his ideas on you. He will offer his opinion if asked but makes it clear everything is your decision. He was gentle with us, but capable of being an aggressive negotiator. Not only did we get the house of our choosing (perfect for what we were looking for, extremely well cared for and in a great location), but we got it for a great price. He even directed us to an excellent deal on homeowners insurance. Because of Gary, the process was fairly stress-free, surprisingly smooth and rewarding. THANKS, GARY! Emma Barr

To Whom It May Concern: I have heard numerous nightmare stories about home buying from my friends, I was thinking all those were true until I met Gary. In fact everyone in my family including my 3 year old love Gary.  His exemplary service and professionalism are one of the greatest positives. During our home search we went through several listings, shortlisted quite a few from them and would give the list to Gary for showing. Without asking any questions Gary will schedule all the showings and will confirm us within hours. We were surprised how he is able to do this so quick. Also, he is always smiling irrespective of how bad/good we choose a house for showing. We went to lot of showings and always his words would be - There is nothing right or wrong everything is an experience in your home buying and be happy that you are learning new things. That was a big optimistic statement that kept us going throughout our home search. I had a unique employment situation that posed a challenge to get financing. We submitted an offer for a home and when everything was going well I heard that my loan is rejected. Gary was with us all through this time providing us additional lender contacts. Infact one of Gary's contacts helped us in our lending and we were able to get financing for the second home that we submitted an offer. Thank you Gary for all you have done throughout this home search exercise. note - :-) My son is so used to meeting Gary in new houses, whenever we go to a new house/friend's place he says its Gary's house Regards, Priya and Sriram

This being our first house hunt/purchase, we really didn’t know what to expect when we began the process. We tried our best to read first-time home buyer books and did an insane amount of research on the internet. We stumbled upon Gary on Angie’s List and were very impressed with his ratings/feedback. We had been looking on Trulia for months and had a good idea of what we were looking for, so when we sat down with Gary and he explained that we had the house hunt in our hands, we knew he was right for us. We thought all realtors picked the houses to view and this made us nervous. Being able to browse the FMLS/List Book websites and select the houses that fit our family was easy, time-saving and exactly our style. Gary set up all of the showings and was completely honest at every single one. He always arrived early to drive around the neighborhoods and walk through the houses before we checked it all out. He advised us when he saw potential issues with a house and guided us through the entire negotiation process when we finally found the house of our dreams! He was meticulous with reminder emails; letting us know about upcoming appointments, things to be done, and tips for the first-time buyer. He even came with recommended lenders and home insurance companies, which was amazing because we did not have a great experience with these two home-buying aspects until we called his guys! We think the thing that shocked us the most is all of the above-and-beyond things Gary did once we found our home! He had a few issues with the seller’s agent, so he took extra steps to ensure that nothing possible would delay our closing…even driving out to the house a couple of days before closing to make certain it was in sound condition after the tenants left. We signed the agreement for purchase on February 2, 2013 and the home was ours on February 28, 2013! Honestly, we made the right choice when we chose Gary as our realtor. It truly says something when you enter your home for the first time once the ink has dried on the purchase papers and your 2-year old son says “Where’s Gary?”. He is a great realtor, but even more than that, a stand-up guy. We strongly recommend Gary Mesnick as a Realtor if you are looking for someone to be honest and not try to sell you on the wrong house! He’ll let you run the show, but give you all of the advice you may need to select the perfect home.

To Whom it May Concern: My wife is a flight attendant and based in Atlanta. Since she is in Atlanta fifteen days out of every month, we decided to look into purchasing a home, where we could not only stay, but use the additional rooms for other flight attendants who needed a place to stay. Gary has been extremely helpful and conscientious. He has taken a great deal of time to help us find a great location and works extremely hard to answer all of our questions. He literally makes himself available around the clock due to both of our hectic schedules. Although we have not yet closed on the house, I would highly recommend Gary’s services, simply based on his high standards and principles. We were quite lucky to have found him and he is definitely worth his weight in gold. Nadine and Jon

Gary Mesnick was my Realtor, and he helped me sell my home. My personal situation was possibly a little different than others. My husband passed away, and after the estate was settled, I realized that I could not heal properly in the home we shared. I am not from Georgia, and due to the care my husband needed, I did not have a lot of spare time to make many friends or professional contacts. I felt very helpless and alone going into the process of putting up my home for sale. I chose to look for a Realtor on Angie's list as I had such good results from other professionals I had hired from this listing. Gary's reviews were incredible, and I agreed with his marketing strategy for selling homes. From the moment I contacted Gary to the day we sold my home, Gary demonstrated professionalism, honesty, a very caring and understanding attitude for me and my situation, help in obtaining the best professionals I needed when making necessary repairs to my home, patience with me in all of the questions that I would ask him, and his response time was always extremely quick via text message or telephone calls. I honestly could not have gotten through this period of my life without Gary's help. After I have had some time to heal, I will be calling Gary to help me find a new home. Thank you, again, Gary!

Gary, I just wanted to take the time to thank you for your devotion and service during the home buying process. Being a first time home buyer, you guided me through this difficult process with ease. You were readily available with me around my busy schedule. You surrounded yourself with the best people in the industry; lender, insurance, inspector, to ensure a smooth transaction. You went above and beyond to make sure the selection of properties met all my criteria, we must have saw 50 plus homes, but you found me the one that really fits me. You were an advocate for me in every way possible. You truly made it an unforgettable experience. Sincerely, Stephen
