My wife and I first met Greg in 2012. We had owned a small cottage in Groton Long Point and the 600 sq ft living area was getting too small to accommodate our summer visitors (too many sleeping bags to trip over in the morning!). By chance we ended up visiting a new build being shown by Greg and Brom Builders. Greg listened to our ‘small house, small budget’ dilemma. During that first interaction he without question assured us, that even though our budget was limited we could achieve a dream house. In a couple of days he took my 3 Post-It notes of the house I wanted to build, and voila! He created external and internal views on paper and by way of digital video, a complete walk-through. I was hooked. 10 months later we moved in … we had so much fun, Greg & Brom were so much fun to work with and everyday was like Christmas, we would walk the 20 yards to our new construction (we rented another cottage right across the street and just gasped at the progress each day, admittedly I always took the evening tour with a glass of red wine so was always happy!). Now the reason I tell this story … Greg is not just a realtor, he lives and breathes housing and construction, his enthusiasm and passion are inspirational. He knows building code inside out and can instantly tell you right from wrong. We have kept in touch with Greg throughout the years and shared a few chases on property over the period. Our latest was just a few months back where we secured our second home … Greg freely admitted that this was his quickest purchase ever People ask me, “How can you be friends with a realtor?” … quite easily … He is out not to ‘bone you’, he enjoys the service he provides and you can tell. I may be too old to buy another house, but hey who knows 😊 if I do I will be giving him a call!

Our experience working with Greg Hanner over the past year was exceptional. What we found most valuable in our first home search was his background in building. He's honest about quality and is able to point out what may need work and when - this was reassuring to us especially since we ultimately bought an older house. His patience, knowledge of the market, and ability to walk us through the buying process simply but thoroughly made our experience less stressful than we had anticipated. Lastly, Greg's personality and energy was truly pleasant to be around. We would highly recommend Greg and Garden Realty to any buyers/sellers out there!

This is the third time I have had the pleasure of working with Greg, and once again, he has exceeded my expectations. From the very first time we connected, he took the time to understand my needs and preferences, patiently listening to my thoughts and concerns. We spent a couple of months discussing potential homes, and Greg personalized my search to match what I was truly looking for. In a market where properties can fly off the shelves in a matter of days or even hours, an agent’s ability to stay calm, focused, and thoughtful is critical. It’s not just about finding a house—it’s about finding the right one for you. Greg understands that difference and is never in a rush to push a sale. He takes the time to explain the details, from assessing property conditions to understanding the long-term value of a home. His expertise in construction allows him to highlight things that most agents might overlook, giving me peace of mind that I’m making a well-informed decision. In a world full of agents eager to close deals, Greg stands out as someone who genuinely wants to ensure that the homes he helps clients buy will be the right fit for years to come. I couldn’t be happier with the experience. If you're looking for an agent who combines deep real estate knowledge, professionalism, and a genuine commitment to his clients - Greg is the one. Highly recommended!

Greg was an exceptional agent during our home buying experience. My partner and I began looking for a home in an extremely competitive market, but he never let us feel discouraged. He was very knowledgeable and always made sure to share his knowledge and answered every question we had in great detail. What most importantly stuck with me was that he always made sure to always greet my kids or ask for them if they weren’t with us during a showing. It showed he really cared for us. Greg made our first home buying experience so easy and painless, I couldn’t ask for a better agent!

I rarely, if ever, write reviews... but I feel compelled to sing the praises of Greg Hanner. Our buyer > agent relationship began when I called him out of the blue from 2,700 miles away. Greg was remarkably engaged from the very first moment and remained so throughout. He proved to be the consummate professional. Greg intently listens and he strategically advises, bringing his years of expertise to bear on the task at hand. I suspect that many real estate proceedings can come across as impersonal and merely transactional in nature. But, to the contrary, interacting with Greg is actually more like chatting with a dear friend who truly cares about your well-being. And now, after our deal has closed, I feel very confident in stating that he genuinely does care! It was an absolute pleasure working alongside Greg and seeing our home purchase come to fruition.

My wife and I had the privilege of working with Greg Hanner for almost a year as we searched for our forever house to raise our family. If you are looking for a dedicated, knowledgeable, thorough, patient, and accommodating agent, look no further. Greg is the consummate professional. His wealth of knowledge and his disposition make him the ideal agent for people from first timers to seasoned home buyers. Greg showed us at least a dozen houses over the course of 10 months and my wife and I learned something new with every encounter. He entertained every one of our questions with enthusiasm and wanted us to be as informed as possible. During our preliminary meeting we described in detail what we were looking for, and we found it. In an otherwise anxiety inducing process, Greg’s stress free approach allowed for transparency and informed decision making. He advised us constantly on what updates or upgrades would need to take place, on what structures were unsound, and on what unseen maintenance issues would arise on each property we toured. He guided us through the finances and was open and honest about what he thought were reasonable and unreasonable list prices. The entire process can be frustrating, and we were outbid on 5 houses but Greg’s unbridled optimism enabled us to ultimately find our new home. Do yourself a favor and contact Greg Hanner and find out for yourself.

I recently worked with Greg Hanner of Garden State Realty to sell my father's home, which was an estate probate-related sale. Despite the complexity of the process, Greg made everything seamless and stress-free. He truly went above and beyond, creating detailed walkthrough videos to ensure complete transparency and producing high-quality photos to showcase the property. Greg's organization and clear communication throughout the process were outstanding, keeping me informed every step of the way. His depth of knowledge and expertise were evident, and I couldn't be happier that I chose him to handle the sale. Greg is, without a doubt, a top-tier real estate agent in every sense of the word. I would absolutely use his services again and recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Greg’s skills are excellent, he helped me with so many decisions. The process was overall smooth and fast. Greg was always responsive, but never pushy. Other agents made me loose the house that I was about to buy (1day before closing!) Greg was attentive and looking out for me. At first, I was very skeptical He changed the “game” - Greg helped me get the house I fell in love with! I highly recommend him to anyone looking to find their next home. He is The Absolute Best!

He is professional and very experienced. He sold our home for the asking price. Every step of the sale went without a hitch, maintaining regular communication thru out the process. HIGHLY recommend!!

Greg was a great realtor. With his attention to detail with pictures and videos the house pretty much sold it self. If I ever come back to ct I will be sure to use greg for any future purchases.
