About Greg

Greg and his family moved to Naples from Michigan in 2014. Greg has wide expertise in many areas of real estate with 5 years of residential real estate sales experience in Michigan, combined with 12 years here in Florida. He has held licenses in residential real estate, commercial real estate (having earned the distinguished CCIM designation – Certified Commercial Investment Member), General Contractor/Builders license, and has 5 years of residential property management experience. 

Greg soon proved his ability to become one of the top agents in the area, having generated over $850 million in real estate transactions since moving to Florida. Greg specializes in the luxury resale and new construction markets, helping buyers find their perfect Florida home. Greg takes a very calm, deliberate approach in working with buyers, knowing that the community they choose is often as important as the property they choose within the community. Greg works extensively with buyers helping them understand the area, community and all the amenities and benefits that each different community has to offer. He works to create and find the “right fit” for each and every buyer, based on their specific goals. On the selling side, Greg leverages his extensive background in creative marketing and internet sales to help clients gain maximum exposure for their property and helping owners sell their homes for the best price in the shortest time frame. His vast knowledge of the local markets, attention to detail, impeccable service, and conscientious guidance make each client feel like they are his number one priority throughout the entire selling or buying process.

"We were very happy with our experience with the Horn/Backus team. Steve Horn provided us with suggestions based on his years of experience, and our sale went smoothly from start to finish. We were especially impressed with Steve’s availability - he always answered the phone or replied to messages extremely promptly. Definitely recommend."
"We have been working with Steve and Greg for the better part of seven years. We have been able to count on them for their knowledge of the West Bay realestate market in Estero Fl. Steve has successfully negotiated two sales for us . The most recent, Indigo, in West Bay. We highly recommend them for your realestate needs."
"We worked with Greg Backus and Steve Horn of West Bay Realty when we bought our house in Estero. They helped us through every step of the process, and answered our texts and phone calls within minutes. They have an extensive network of handymen, electricians, plumbers, roofers, etc., they can call on at anytime, for any issue that comes up. We could not have asked for better partners in our transaction, and we highly recommend them for anyone buying or selling a house."
"We have purchased two houses and sold one with Steve and Greg in the last three years. The experience we’ve had with the Horn and Backus team has always been an easy and smooth transition before, during and after the sale. We have been able to depend on them for help after the sales for recommendations and information on contractors, service providers etc. We highly recommend the Horn and Backus team! We will definitely use them for any of our future realty needs."
"Steve, Greg and the entire Horn Backus Team are true professionals. Over the past 5 years they have represented us in two purchases and one sale. Each transaction, from negotiations to closing, went very smoothly. Steve and Greg hold a wealth of knowledge and experience of all facets of the SWF residential market. They are generous with their resources and work tirelessly for their clients. Mark M"
"Steve and Greg did a fabulous job for me in a very tough selling climate. They led the way by working to get more showings by doing 2 open houses (normally not needed, but this selling climate demanded them). Their entire staff was always available to talk, to provide helpful info and answer any questions. I always knew when there was a showing and received feedback from them all. In the end, the closing was quick and painless. I highly recommend this awesome team!"
"We bought a Steve Horn, Greg Backus listing in West Bay Club, Estero. Steve and Greg were attentive to even the smallest detail and made the purchase easy and fun. They put us on a fast track to success by recommending a cracker-jack Lender and Title company. The turnkey solution the Horn Backus Group provides makes the transaction easy, clean and quick. We highly recommend."
"My business partner and I recently sold a condo that was listed with Steve and Greg. Not only did they sell our condo in a difficult market, but they were helpful, professional and kept us informed all throughout the process. We would highly recommend the Horn and Backus Team for your real estate needs."
"I was so blown away with the professionalism of Greg and his team. I asked for a lot and he and his team were there providing me with all the answers and more. Fantastic experience!"
"Steve and Greg are a pleasure to deal with. 10 years ago they sold us a piece of property that we built a home on. Recently, they helped us sell it, and buy another home. Totally seamless transactions, incredible customer service. Helped us find a home inspector, helped us find a local bank, help us even find a local repairman to fix a few odds and ends. Well, I hope to never have to sell or buy another home at my age, if I did, these two guys would be the first ones my wife and I would call Tim… Read MoreRead Less
