Knowledgeable, professional and appropriately demanding

Knowledgeable, professional and appropriately demanding. Upon experiencing 6 prior "experienced" RE agents we found Stephen. The difference was night and day. My having been in business in many sectors, wearing many hats, for many years, it is reasonably easy to sort the wheat from the chaff. I had begun to believe that chaff was our only option. The real estate profession is... full of its self and wannabes and let's do this the quick and easy way without having to spend much time on sales effort and less time on getting the deal done by pricing below market to keep our sales volume high as this is a performance metric which brings future customers...they want to see numerical performance. Stephen has both, performance in sales numbers and performance in dollar sales/market return per unit. His secret? He works in a timely manner, does the research, and associates with professional individuals that know their craft. Out of almost 80+ RE agents I have worked with over the last 45 years, Stephen is in the top 5. Of those 5, 2 have gone to the great RE office in the sky and 1 recently retired in disgust of their realty support company...and the last retired from overwork. It's the nature of the industry, based on seller lack of knowledge and the ease of which sellers can be sold. Proof you say? How many timeshares do people end up buying every year... and later regretting? Share this review everywhere

Steve did an outstanding job! Steve was always available and professional. Steve even did multiple video call showings with out of state clients, to ensure all potential buyers had private access to see the property. Five star all around!!!

Investment Property Divesture

Steve’s level of communication and knowledge of the market resulted in a successful divestment from my former rental property. I would recommend having Steve Nilsen be your Real Estate Agent for your next real estate transaction.

I would definitely recommend Stephen Nilsen is well qualified to represent you whether you are buying or selling real estate. He communicated well and in a timely manner to keep me updated with what was going on with this listing. You will be well represented when choosing him as your agent to list or sell your Property.

Effective representation

Effective representation

In my experience, the skill that differentiates excellence from mediocre and annoying is the ability to communicate in a way that is responsive, clear, concise and free of ambiguity. Stephen and Ashley have this skill and applied it to selling our house in what I believe was a challenging market. Their information and perspective was always clear and our decisions respected and implemented. I felt well represented. They also were willing to go beyond expectations in caring about our property, especially important because we were not in the care. We felt well served.

Excellence in every way

Ashley and Stephen were helpful and communicative from the first call. They went out of their way to meet us and recommend different properties and take care of each aspect of our purchase. We're 3 hours behind and my texts might come over after hours and yet, they were always responsive, recommending the best course of action and even suggesting people that could help us get our new home ready for our move. They were referred by another agent in a different area which means a lot that your realtor has garnered the respect of their peers. We appreciate the kindness, thoroughness and professionalism of this excellent husband and wife team and couldn't recommend them more for your real estate needs

Steve was able to answer the majority of our questions about the homes and locations

We are very greatful for the help Steve gave us. As we purchased home only by seeing zoom videos he was honest about things wrong with home and area it was in. Steve did a lot of leg work as we asked him to look at homes all over the Triad area . The home we settled on turned out to be perfect for our needs. We would recommend anyone looking to buy a home to deal with Steve. Thank you Steve for being a knowledgeable and honest realtor! Lana & Art H.

I thank Steve and Ashley for everything and encourage everyone to keep them in mind if you are attempting to purchase or sell your home.
