Parker Gray is a Kalamazoo native. Loy Norrix High School graduate, licensed at 20, and by his own account a real estate lifer. Today he and his wife run Graystone Real Estate, the brokerage they started together after years on opposite ends of the real estate business, hers in operations and his in sales.

Ask him what a good day looks like and he will not talk about the number of closings in a day. He will talk about a client who walks away wanting to tell someone about how great their experience was. That is the whole idea behind Graystone, to be the standard in real estate, and it carries through their entire business.
