Great communication and marketing strategy paid off!

Steve and Ashley were wonderful to work with and made it easy to explain the process and prepare our house for the market. With quick responses and thoughtful guidance, our house went under contract in less than 48 hours and was an easy sellers experience from start to finish!

Smooth process from listing to sold

Smooth process from listing to sold

Steve was an excellent agent. He was supportive and helpful. He hired a great agency to take the listing photos. He didn't try to get me to list too high. For a very stressful event in one's life, this transaction was managed well and relatively painless. I cannot recommend him higher (though he still owes me a picture from Machu Picchu, LOL)

Steve's experience and guidance made the entire process of selling our beloved river house much easier. His clear communication and quick responses to calls and texts made the process efficient. His overall dedication to closing the deal was greatly appreciated.

Knowledgeable, Professional, and Reliable

Absolutely amazing. Very responsive and helpful. Answered at all times of day and night and got me exactly what I wanted. Very knowledgeable on not only the area but other agents, inspectors, Lenders, and so on. With something as important as purchasing a house, Steve is the guy to trust.
