Gordon King is a world class experience. Full stop. He won't rest until you are fully satisfied and have everything you're looking for, and then he'll go above and beyond to make sure that it's done right and you have what you need moving forward. Gordon's attention to detail and thoroughness made our purchase and closing a breeze, and he continues to work with us to ensure our family is comfortable and well settled as we start to call our new property home. If you're looking to undertake a high quality real estate purchase in the area, you would be at a disadvantage if you didn't use Gordon. We could not recommend him more highly.

We recently purchased a condominium in Moorland Farm in Newport, RI. Gordon represented the buyer but was very helpful to us in the negotiations and obtaining information for us from the condo association. In addition, we requested the right to enlarge the deck space which he facilitated through the seller. He was extremely knowledgeable about every aspect of this process and went above and beyond to ensure that the sale and purchase of the property happened in a timely manner. Gordon was always professional and responsive. I highly recommend Gordon if you are considering selling your property or obtaining an agent to help you find a property.

We cannot recommend Gordon enough! We are in love with our home but if we were buying again we would use Gordon in a heartbeat. We were first time home buyers that were moving from Boston to RI so we were looking for someone that knew the market well and could guide us through the whole process. With Gordon, we got that 1,000 times over. He truly guided us and educated us throughout the whole process - from our initial phone call, through putting in offer, inspections, closing, post-closing work, and he even emailed us yesterday (two months post-close) to check in. Gordon is truly fantastic. Over the course of our home buying process he was many things: educator, guide, advisor, advocate, sounding board, and friend. He was always (truly always) available to discuss anything that was on our minds. Throughout the process, he was a fierce advocate for us and fought for what we wanted while still being respectful and professional. With Gordon's help, we secured a waterfront home at an attractive price - something we never thought we would say in this market. We could not have asked for a better realtor. Many people we spoke to told us their realtors disappeared after signing but the post-signing process is where Gordon truly shined. He helped us pick the right inspectors and advisors, was available to meet with inspectors when we couldn't make it, and helped us arrange for painters to come right after we closed (in a market where it is almost impossible to get a painter!). Our closing process went incredibly smoothly and we truly owe that to Gordon. Gordon is a wonderful realtor and person - he has a great eye and sense of the market. He is knowledgeable, thoughtful and incredibly likable. And, the icing on the cake, he has amazing connections in the Newport area and was able to recommend wonderful contractors to make our new house our own.

Gordon King is the quintessential broker in my experience, . His selfless commitment to finding the right deal and executing it to the maximum benefit for the client, is truly outstanding. Gordon is a straight-up businessman, with a keen sense and thoughtful tact. Knowledgeable, experienced, intuitive, intelligent, invested, and Honorable, Gordon has done 3 deals for me. Two purchases and one sale. All 3 were outstanding successes. The most recent was complicated and involved a 1031 exchange. Gordon knows the ropes and followed through with precision and excellence on every aspect of the transaction. His commitment to his client is unsurpassed, working all hours of the day and night to close the deal. I can't say enough about this fine gentleman, professional broker and confidant. Thank You Gordon King! JJ Supple // President 401 Realty Associates, LLC

Gordon was an outstanding agent in the sale of our home. We had interviewed two other agents in addition to Gordon. They came with the usual market comparison analysis prepared and did a cursory look around the home. Gordon had also done a comparison before he came to the home, but as he spent time in the rooms he decided the home had more valuable features than he expected. He set a new higher sale target price than any of the originals. He was right, we sold it at this much higher price. Gordon's communication throughout the process was excellent. He was easy to reach and returned calls quickly. Gordon handled the Open Houses and many single showings himself so he could represent the home and the area to potential buyers. We also had some unexpected family events during this time and Gordon jumped in to handle everything he could to help us. Gordon is an excellent agent, and a fine person to have on your team!

Gordon was a pleasure to work with. He was highly responsive and very knowledgeable, and he kept an even keel throughout the more difficult portions of the transaction. I highly recommend him!

Richard, Jamestown RI

Gordon cared to learn all the workings of the property being sold. He always answered his phone when I called and was always on time with appointments. Friendly and helpful, never pushy. Understood the market.

Bob Bishop, Newport, RI

Gordon King was great. I've owned 6 houses in my life and he was the best broker I've ever dealt with. 1) great local knowledge 2) extremely personable 3) successful marketing plan 4) always felt like he had my best interests in mind Gordon King was the only one I dealt with Negotiations with buyers was hard, but Gordon King was a great intermediary and saved me a lot of pain. For example, he lined up both an HVAC and a plumber to handle issues in the house Gordon elicited a lot of trust from me. I always felt he had my best interests.
