"I would highly recommend Greg Dorsey. My husband and I were debating selling our West Newton home or renovating. We love our neighborhood, but needed more room. We contacted Greg for an evaluation of our home’s worth. It was clear from the questions he asked that he has a very good understanding of the Newton real estate market. Within 24 hours, Greg gave us a market analysis complete with his very detailed and sound reasons for why we should NOT sell our home! Although the data told us that we would make money (as compared to our original buying price) on a sale, it also told us that finding a home similar in quality to ours and in a similar location in our school district would be very difficult-- despite the equity we'd gained, we trusted Greg's advice and instead of selling and moving, we opted to maximize the property’s value by creating more living space to accommodate the family. In my experience, real estate agents often just think about the commission they will earn instead of how to benefit the homeowner-- with Greg, you definitely get the feeling that you are working with someone who is honest and really just wants what is best for you. We loved his ideas and asked for recommendations for builders to use. He gave us a list of vendors to choose from which included the vendor who worked on his own home, and we asked for bids from both some of those vendors and from some recommended by our architect. In the end, Greg's recommended vendor won out-- the bid was very, very competitive, AND we'd found someone who we knew we would work well with (and we checked five references)." - Jamie

"I first met Greg Dorsey as a seller agent 5 years ago. Shortly after my closing, he found me a great tenant and has given me excellent advice on how to manage my rental unit over the years. Recently when I was looking to purchase more investment properties, Greg provided in-depth analyses to help me understand the market and gave me honest opinions on the properties. I was impressed with his knowledge, dedication, and negotiation skills. He successfully helped me purchase 2 properties in Brighton and Allston. I will without hesitation recommend him as a seller agent." - Angela

"Greg helped us find our first house. This was the biggest purchase of our lives and Greg was more than professional and an expert in the field. He was completely honest and helpful with all of the houses we viewed. He made sure we were not rushing into anything and also kept us focused on staying in our price range while taking the time to find exactly what we wanted. When we found the house we fell in love with, Greg helped us with the negotiating. If it wasn't for him we would have lost the bid and the house. I can honestly say that we would not have our dream house if it wasn't for Greg." - Vincent

"Greg is definitely a real estate expert who knows the ins and the outs of both selling and buying. An honest, reliable, and personable agent you can trust to meet your needs and usually very FAST! You will want to work with Greg on all your real estate transactions after the first... he also has great connections in the industry (lawyers, mortgage brokers, etc.). He will not steer you in the wrong direction, ever." - Averie

"I sold my condo using Greg Dorsey and it couldn't have been easier. He seemed to have multiple connections in every industry which allowed me to quickly have my floors redone, my windows and blinds fixed, my plumbing updated, and other small issues at reasonable prices. It all paid off as I received multiple offers and accepted a cash offer over asking price. Smooth from listing to closing. Would definitely refer Greg Dorsey!" - Chris
Influenced by his mother, a top-producing agent herself, Greg learned the power of real estate early on. Raised in North Andover, Massachusetts, he received a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Vermont before pivoting into the real estate realm. Founding First Choice Realty, Inc. in 1999, (now First Choice Dorsey Group at Compass) he ran a successful brokerage for over two decades before joining Compass’ roster of top-producing agents.
A modern-day Renaissance man, Greg’s depth of knowledge is only matched by his scope of specialties. Armed with a rolodex of vendors, he has experience managing fifty subcontractors, running four offices, and five different companies. Skilled at purchasing and developing income properties in Boston and the surrounding areas of New Hampshire and Vermont, he also pursues his own personal investments, managing properties across Boston.
A multi-family income specialist, Greg is equally adept marketing single family homes, income properties, and equestrian properties as he is marketing single families. He is also exceptionally focused on maintaining one-on-one relationships with all his clients because he understands and values each individual he works with. He is equipped to manage the large portfolios of C-suite clientele in the finance and technology industries.
Netting an average sale price of $2 million alongside brokering the sale of $100M+ portfolios, Greg took his business a step further, creating a property management company to better service the needs of his investor clients.
Residing in Boston with his family, Greg has never been one to turn down an adventure. Whether hiking, skiing, or mountain biking, he’s a big fan of exploring the outdoors. Known to compete in adventure races, the former First Responder & private pilot, finds the greatest joy coaching youth soccer, and lacrosse.
Focused, hardworking, and as passionate as they come, Greg is a true professional. As one former client put, “In any real estate transaction, you’ll have a huge advantage if Greg is on your side of the table.” His local knowledge coupled with unmatched industry experience make him an invaluable resource for buyers and sellers alike.
