About Today's Guest Gregory Zinis was born and raised in the vibrant landscapes of Michigan, where his youth was filled with soccer games, hunting excursions, fishing trips, snowboarding adventures, and garage-building projects. Immersed in the state's rich outdoor culture, he developed a profound appreciation for adventure and craftsmanship. He pursued preliminary courses at Northern Michigan University before earning his Doctor of Pharmacy degree from Ferris State University. With a vision of escaping to a larger, sunlit city with surfing opportunities, he found his new home in Virginia. Since 2009, Gregory has made a significant impact as a community pharmacist in Hampton Roads, where he has diligently supported patients with prescriptions, vaccines, health tests, and comprehensive medication therapy management. In 2010, he embarked on a new journey by purchasing his first home, which has been a versatile asset, serving as his primary residence as well as both short-term and long-term rental. In his personal life, Gregory met and married his wife, Ashley, and together they have a bustling household of four children, two dogs, and two cats. During the pandemic, Gregory took a strategic year off amidst a company downsizing, which provided him with the opportunity to delve deeply into real estate and undertake a renovation of his primary residence in Ocean View, Norfolk. This transformative experience ignited a passion for real estate, leading him to earn his Realtor license in 2024. Now, Gregory is dedicated to helping others navigate the exciting journey of home ownership with the same enthusiasm and expertise that have defined his career.
