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. Our goal is to guide you with confidence, celebrate with you at the closing table, and welcome you into the Thornton Realty Team family for life.
