About Us

With more than 57 years of combined real estate experience in the Greater Lansing area, our family-based team brings together experience, local knowledge, professionalism, technology, and a genuine commitment to caring for our clients. Jeff Thornton has served the Greater Lansing community in real estate since 1986. His son-in-law, Sean Gardner, joined the team in 2016, followed by Dan Kreps in 2018.

Jeff has called the Greater Lansing area home his entire life and raised his two children here. A proud Spartan super fan, he enjoys golfing and spending as much time as possible with his family, especially his grandkids. Sean and his wife have three beautiful children, and when he's not helping clients, he enjoys sports, golf, and fishing. Dan is a proud father of two, a former history teacher, a huge sports fan, and someone who loves spending time outdoors.

What makes our team different is the way we care for people. We want every client to feel like part of our family. Whether you are buying your first home, selling a longtime family property, or making your next move, we approach every situation with honesty, dedication, tenacity, and heart.

When you choose Thornton Realty Team, you are not just hiring one agent you are getting the support, knowledge, and commitment of our entire team. Our goal is not simply to close a deal.

Testimonials

Working with our realtor Dan Kreps was an outstanding experience from start to finish. He was incredibly attentive throughout the entire home-buying process and was always available whenever we had questions or needed advice. No matter the time or situation, he responded quickly and made us feel like we were his top priority. He kept communication between the seller and us smooth, efficient, and transparent every step of the way. This was our first time purchasing a house, and he made sure we always knew what was happening, what to expect next, and that we felt confident that nothing was being overlooked. His honesty, professionalism, and dedication made what could have been a stressful process feel much more manageable. We couldn't have asked for a better realtor, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!

Sean did an incredible job beyond just finding the best house for us. He made our journey easier, as there are often unexpected twists and turns along the way. He is assisting us with post-home purchase repair needs, which is important once we settle into our home. Since we are new to the community, it is important to find trustworthy repair resources. We respect and trust Sean's knowledge/ability to find the best solution for us. Therefore, I strongly recommend Sean as your realtor.

Dan was an excellent realtor. We got assigned to Dan when we requested a tour through Zillow. We could not have been happier with him, and we even discussed that we were so lucky to have him as an agent. He made the process very smooth. If we decide to upgrade in a few years, we will absolutely work with Dan again!

We got lucky finding him. We randomly got assigned to him via Zillow. Sean is a great communicator. He is able to find information out quickly. He made sure we understood all the information and took us to houses we requested to see. If he was unable to make see a house with us, he made sure someone from his team could make it happen. He would communicate to find out more information about the sellers and what they were looking for with offers. He was able to sell our house within 3 days, as well.

Dan Kreps with the Thornton Realty Team was exceptional to work with during our home buying process. Our preferences and priorities started and ended on completely different ends of the spectrum, and Dan was there to help guide us along and never complained, even when looking at houses all over the map in the Greater Lansing area.

Sean recently helped me sell my home, and despite hearing horror stories from others in the past, he helped take all the stress out of it! He is extremely knowledgeable in the buying and selling process and took the time to explain everything in a way that made sense so I could understand each step of the process as things progressed. Sean was extremely communicative and is passionate about his profession. Working with Sean was a great experience, and I look forward to working with him in the future!

Sean, Jeff, and Dan are all fantastic. I worked primarily with Sean. He was overly patient with me as it took me quite a long while to find a home I was looking for. Sean responded to my texts promptly and set up showings that always worked for me. When walking through houses, Sean is attentive to fixes and money that would need to be put into a house that, as a first-time home buyer, I would never have looked for. He wants his clients to find a home they are going to love and is not just looking for your business and another sale. If I move, I will definitely be using Thornton Realty again. They are professional, friendly, and very easy to work with.
