I was very fortunate to having been introduced to Gordon King. He is both extremely professional and knowledgeable. He was a pleasure to work with. He would make an excellent role model for other brokers / sales associates.

Steve Malcolm, Newport, RI

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!

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.

I can't say enough nice things about Gordon. I normally avoid using friends as agents. We have moved more tha 20 times and this was by far the best transaction we have had because of Gordon. He is calm, thoroughly organized, knowledgeable and always available. He made sure that we were always confident and informed and when he said "not to worry I will take care of that", he did. It was seamless! I would definitely use him again and recommend him to my friends

Over the years we have sold five homes and this sale was the easiest and least stressful. Gordon is a true professional and helped us every step of the way.

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

Marc Braunstein, Newport RI

Gordon expertly guided us through our search for our new home, was instrumental in helping us find exactly the right place, and was there every step of the way through the transaction. Thank you Gordon!

Gordon was extremely communicative when signing the original Purchase and Sale Agreement. Closing was delayed due to delay in preparation of closing documents by Seller and Seller's Counsel, but Gordon went out of his way to assist in pushing things along as much as possible. As I am located out of state, it was also helpful to have someone with Gordon's level of dedication "on the ground" to keep us apprised as to developments. He even attended the closing in order to ensure that things were moving smoothly.

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.
