"Greg and Steve were the best realtors I have ever worked with! They go above and beyond to satisfy every need, including those way beyond just selecting and purchasing your dream home in Florida. Greg was available at any hour of the day or night. Both Greg and Steve helped advise me on purchase price (we achieved a big price reduction off the asking price) and they also helped me with mortgage, insurance, home inspection, home renovation, home decorator suggestions, etc. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Greg and Steve. If you are thinking of a Florida home purchase, rush to Gulf and Bay Realty. You will be glad you chose the best."

Jane M., Naples Buyer

"I have had the pleasure of working with Gulf and Bay Realty and can honestly say that Greg Backus and Steve Horn are by far two of the most professional and experienced agents in the real estate business.  Their knowledge of the area, diligence, and attention to detail make their customers feel at ease with their transactions. From market analysis to marketing to contract negotiations, Steve and Greg are exceptional in their abilities and go out of their way to ensure the transaction goes smoothly and all parties are happy with the outcome. They are first class, high caliber real estate professionals who are always available to their clients. Regardless of whether you are buying or selling, I would highly recommend Greg Backus and Steve Horn."

Brad and Caroline G., Pelican Sound Buyers

"We just wanted to let other potential buyers and sellers know that our experience with Greg Backus at Gulf and Bay Realty has been tremendous. We have bought and sold many homes over the years but this purchase in Naples was completely stress free with Greg handling all angles and helping us every step of the way. With Greg’s help and market knowledge, we found a beautiful condo in Naples. The hands-on customer service and attention to detail was outstanding, something you really don’t see much of anymore. It was a pleasure working with Greg and Gulf and Bay Realty. My wife and I highly recommend their services to anyone thinking of moving to SWFL."

Tom and Lauren B., Tiburon, Naples Buyers & Sellers

"If you are thinking of purchasing a home and are not sure about which realtor to deal with, may we suggest Greg Backus and Steve Horn from Gulf and Bay Realty. We can't say enough about Greg and Steve’s professionalism, true caring nature, and extensive knowledge about our real estate market. They brought these qualities and much more to the table for me and my husband, not just during the real estate transaction itself, but also in the transition to our new home and community. We picked Greg and Steve as our realtors because from the get-go they were attentive and quick to respond to all our phone calls and needs. Throughout the home buying process, they went above and beyond! No request or question from us went unanswered. They were extremely responsive and thoughtful in their recommendations and attention to details. They are extraordinarily service-oriented and will get the job done! Very importantly, Greg and Steve will not forget you once the deal is done. We have called them numerous times for recommendations of painters, handymen, plumbers, among other professionals. They have always come through with excellent, timely recommendations. Whenever we had or still have an inquiry of any kind regarding the purchase of our new home, they never hesitated to find out all the information they can to make us feel comfortable with our decision. To this day, they still make us feel like helping us is their #1 priority. They even brought a wonderful welcome gift to us in our new home when we moved in! Without any hesitation, whatsoever, we highly recommend Greg and Steve for your next real estate transaction!"

Chuck and Randi W., Estero Buyers

"Greg Backus could not have done more to help us find our new home and to make the purchase process smooth and rapid. We shopped on Sunday and commenced with the sale on Tuesday. The closing itself was executed professionally and thoroughly. But more importantly, his service does not end with the sale. When we needed directions or suggestions for this and that as we settled in, he was more than happy to help with his knowledge and expertise. We were fortunate to have found him when we began our home search -- efficient, professional and friendly!

Steve and Jennifer K., Miromar Lakes Sellers & Naples Buyers

"When we were looking for a larger home, we contacted Gulf and Bay Realty because of homes we’d seen on their website.  Greg Backus made arrangements for us to tour the homes and Steve Horn and Greg assisted us in making the offer and closing the deal.  Any concerns we had were handled immediately.  Then came the selling of our current home.  They located a buyer and prior to closing, we had to deal with Hurricane Irma.  We lost the pool cage at our current home during the hurricane which delayed the closing, but Steve aggressively worked to find a contractor to do the replacement when no contractors would even return phone calls. Neither Steve nor Greg ever failed to answer their phones and deal with questions or problems we had promptly (and we were finalizing the purchase, sale, and hurricane from out of state). We can’t say enough about their professionalism and helpfulness.  We hope that anyone shopping for a residence in Southwest Florida will consider giving them a call."

Tom and Cathie S., Pelican Sound Sellers, Southwest Florida Buyers

"We had confidence in Steve as a realtor, from the moment we met him.  Most appealing was his knowledge of the local real estate market. He answered all our questions about various communities. We were making a substantial investment in a new home and it was most important to us that we find a great property at a fair price. Steve was key to accomplishing our goal. While we worked mainly with Steve, we found his partner Greg to be personable and knowledgeable as well, sharing helpful information about the communities of Bonita Springs and Estero."

John and Gina H., Southwest Florida Buyers

"I don't normally write reviews, but I was so impressed with Greg's sincerity, honesty and helpfulness, that I just thought I would pass my feelings along to others that might be looking for a good realtor to find their home. Greg is hardworking and I really appreciated everything he did for us before and after closing. I feel he really went above and beyond with his service."

Lori M., Estero Buyers

"We want to thank Gulf and Bay Realty for helping us find our winter home. Greg and Steve are experts on local real estate and helped us find the perfect house for our family. We highly recommend them and will gladly refer them to all our Canadian friends."

Amy V., Naples, Buyer  

"We are delighted with the condo we purchased! Steve and Greg were amazing, and we really enjoyed working with them. They made the whole buying experience easy and comfortable. They continued to assist us after our closing, and we are very grateful for their attention to detail. They were referred to us by friends and we will certainly recommend them to our friends."

Cristina de S. and Lou V., Southwest Florida Buyers  

"My husband and I moved into our beautiful new home in WestLake Court in June of 2016. We looked at the lot with Steve Horn and fell in love with it and put a deposit down the next week. Steve and Greg sold our Pelican Landing condo in a matter of days and we were rolling with the plans for the new house. We could not have gotten it all done so quickly without them. They both were awesome and are we are grateful for their diligence and professionalism."

Tim and Beth B., Pelican Landing Sellers & Estero Buyers  

"We first met Steve Horn in 2010 when he represented the seller during the purchase of our condominium in West Bay Club. We were so impressed by his understanding of the real estate market in our community that it was easy to trust him and Greg with the purchase of our second West Bay property and sale of our condo last year. Steve and Greg are personable and professional and understand the importance of analytics and building relationships to ensure client satisfaction. It was a real pleasure to work with them both!"

Jack & Julie H., Estero Buyers and Sellers  

"With our home sale now well behind us, my wife and I want to make a point of congratulating and thanking Steve and Greg for a job well done. After two frustrating years of listing our property unsuccessfully, we decided to make a change and list with Steve and Greg last fall. We are both convinced it was Steve and Greg’s personal attention to our property that led to a very quick offer and sale in December. They expertly handled our transaction from start to finish and we were very impressed. Thanks for the great effort!"

Ned & Doreen J., Estero Sellers  

"We were extremely pleased with the level of service and professionalism that Greg and Steve gave us when selling our home. They delivered all the marketing and promotion as promised and made the entire process smooth and painless. Thank you so much."

Steve K., Bonita Springs Seller

"I have been using Greg and Steve for years and I can assure those looking for a good realtor that these men always performed at or beyond my expectations. It seems that they are not happy unless I'm more than happy. They won't disappoint."

Alan M., Estero Seller

"Working with Steve and Greg was terrific. I felt that they were fair to both buyer and seller. They went beyond their job description when they helped me secure boxes, a car transport, and even sorted out the cable boxes that needed to be returned. Selling my West Bay Club condo was bittersweet. Steve and Greg with all their knowledge, expertise, and kindness made it easier. I would highly recommend their real estate agency."

Elizabeth S., Estero Seller

"We sold our home in Estero with Steve and Greg. Everything went very smoothly. In our previous experience, realtors recommend an inflated list price and then came back with proposals to lower the price when the home did not sell in the first 60 days. Instead, Steve and Greg recommended listing for a fair price, based on solid data, and our home sold in the ballpark of the asking price. Steve and Greg were then very good at negotiating the inspection results and corrective actions with the prospective owner. We were very happy with the entire process and would definitely recommend Steve and Greg to our friends."

Maurizio N., Estero Seller
