Gordon was open and available for all inquiries. Professional and knowledgeable. We were very satisfied!

Nicole C., Tiverton, RI

Gordon is not only our agent but has become a friend throughout the years of working together. He is trustworthy, kind, and genuinely cared about finding us the perfect home, which he did! We are very grateful to have worked with him throughout this process and I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for the best realtor in the Newport area.

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.

Rich & Eliza, Tiverton

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.

Thanks again for all your help. We will raise a glass together this Summer, we promise.

Rebecca Miller, Jamestown

A good real estate agent wears many hats: accountant, therapist, home expert, personal advisor, neighborhood pal, style guru. Gordon King was all of these things and many more. Even staring down the big waves of a large home purchase, he was keeping a steady hand on the wheel while navigating at full throttle. He brings wonderful baked goods, is a snappy dresser, knows everyone, bon vivant, and optimist. In the two and half months of a nail biting transaction he brought to the process building inspectors, recommended architects, found us a construction contractor, and advised on tennis courts, dock builders, lawn mowers, trash guys, neighbors and restaurants. If Gordon had not been our agent I can’t imagine completing this transaction. And now, as my husband and I look out to the sunset at the west passage from our back porch, I want to thank Gordon King for helping us buy the ultimate home for the two of us and our growing family of grandchildren. --Rebecca Miller, Jamestown

Jane Fleming, Moorland Farm

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.

Gordon King was an excellent ambassador of Newport. His local knowledge is fantastic, and he shares it willingly. Gordon has been incredibly helpful introducing us to contractirs,lawn care professionals and others. He is truly a full service realtor. We were thrilled to have him represent us.

Robyn Rogue, Rhode Island

Gordon knows and understands "coastal" properties, his clientele and the changing real estate market. He is thoughtful, courteous and an all around nice man. We first met Gordon when we thought we may be interested in moving (a year or two ago) and his knowledge, follow-through and accessibility were very impressive. We have dealt with a number of realtors over the years and knew immediately (following our first interaction with him) that Gordon was a man who took his job and his clients needs (and wants) seriously so Gordon was an easy decision when we did finally decide to buy a new home. Five stars and highly recommended.

James Kurtis, Portsmouth RI

In addition to A plus ratings for experience, knowledge and performance, Gordon unhesitatingly offered his services in order to lessen mine, and for which I am grateful. Responded quickly and offered very sound advice. Very satisfied with his services. Thanks Gordon
