What Our Clients Are Saying
“Stephen really did a 10 out of 5. He excelled in all areas, especially in the area of negotiation. I have to confess, my wife and I have sold previous homes on our own to try to save money. That said, with this market we did not dare to do that. We would not have saved money at all in the long run. There is no way we would have been able to get the home we did without his (and his wife April) negotiating help. Along the way, Stephen was a wealth of wisdom in making a good decision. We will use them again for sure, they were a huge blessing!”

“Steve did a five-star job selling our home for over asking price in just two days. He recommended the most advantageous changes that we make to the house and property prior to listing and recommended the best home staging professional to show our home at it’s best. The marketing, photos and video were truly exceptional and hands down were a much higher caliber than other agents were offering. We were very impressed with Steve’s knowledge about what sells a home, his punctuality and he is a genuinely friendly and quality person and a pleasure to work with. Steve managed the negotiation and sale so skillfully from start to finish and is a true professional who really knows the art of the real estate market.”

“Working with Stephen was amazing. From the moment we sat down with him to discuss what we were looking for to the moment we signed on our condo it was seamless. He was always very quick to respond back even with the smallest questions. He really listened to what we were looking for and helped us find the perfect place!”

“Working with Stephen on the sale of my Dad’s home was truly a pleasure. We didn’t choose the best time to put the house on the market - early March, right when the virus crisis was ramping up. But Stephen led us through the whole process like the pro he is. I was very confident that the price we settled on was consistent with the area comps and the evolving virus situation. He had the house cleaned and staged beautifully and within days, we received an offer. There were a few minor issues with the inspection - Stephen handled these to the satisfaction of both us and the seller. During the entire sales process, Stephen communicated every step of the way. I also have to say how truly wonderful he was with my elderly Dad - keeping him informed and making sure he was comfortable with all that was happening.”
