"...After asking me extremely intelligent questions, Greg went about showing me, with amazing energy, many houses in the area and observed my reactions as we looked around. He was pleasant, gracious, and creative as we searched. Then, because of his patience, he found exactly the right place, and now I am happily in the process of buying it !!!"

"Hi Greg, I was completely delighted with your performance when we sold my house in San Francisco. At first I was skeptical and argued against your advice. You always deferred to me and yet I always found that you were right. You were right about how to price the house and how to present it, advertise it, even how best to respond to offers. I am so pleased with your professionalism and attention to detail. In the end, I think of you as a good friend and I'm happy I chose you to be my agent."

"My husband and I started our house hunting in San Francisco in 2002. The market was getting competitive. We tried going it alone, then we tried a couple of agents that we found to be unresponsive and uninterested in our needs. We were very lucky to meet Greg Shumsky with Barbagelata at an open house. He was honest & sincere and helped us through the process. After 6 years, 1 toddler & pregnant again, we found ourselves needing a bigger place -- and under the gun. Greg sold our house & got us into another that we will be happy in for many years to come. Since we are not moving again any time soon, id like to share Greg with everyone else. Thanks, Greg!"
