Outstanding experience with a complex situation and challenging market. We had rapid work relocation to Europe and were not able to go through a "normal" sales process. Steven was amazing and handled everything remotely, from helping us to sell our cars to staging and even lawn work. He navigated one of the rougher housing markets in recent year in Tampa with great skill, always communicating and being transparent and honest. In the end, he was able to take a great deal of stress off of us as we acclimated to Europe and get a great result with our sell. I would highly recommend Steven as both an agent and a person. His character and caring are extraordinary!

We worked with Steven to both buy and sell our Tampa property 3 years apart. Both transactions were handled professionally and expeditiously despite the fact that the opposing broker for the recent sale was less than helpful to say the least throughout the process which was a shame as we wanted to sell to the buyers as much as they wanted to buy! We would not to hesitate to recommend Steven and Sample/Warneke.

Steven’s knowledge of the local market was invaluable. He expertly navigated the process of selling our home keeping us informed at all times. He was always prompt at returning our texts and calls. His professionalism and focus on our needs was second to none. I 100% recommend Steven to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.

Steven did a great job working with us to find and secure a home that works for us, and on top of that, made a few phone calls and sold our existing property quickly so that the proceeds were available for closing on the new home without delay. We highly recommend Steven for assistance with residential transactions in South Tampa!

Steven was wonderful to work with! Very knowledgable, and listened to what I was looking for in a home. Definitely recommend him to my family and friends!

Thanks! Here’s a personalized Google review for your Realtor, Steven: ⸻ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Steven is an outstanding Realtor! We worked with him for both the sale of our old home and the purchase of a new one in South Tampa(Sun Bay South), and we couldn’t be more satisfied with his professionalism. His communication was clear, consistent, and timely throughout the entire process, which made everything feel smooth and manageable—even when things got busy.

I would put them up against any realtor. Their team operates with integrity & principals that set them far apart from all the other realtors. Super thankful.

Fantastic experience with good people who care about helping their clients find the best fit for them.

Steve and Lauren are the best realtors we have ever worked with! They helped us find/build our home and then sell it several years later. They are true professionals who do their research and make sure the client gets the best deal possible, we could not have been happier with Sample Warneke!

We had a seamless experience both purchasing a lot for our new construction and selling our home with the Warneke Group. Lauren & Steven patiently worked for us over a year touring countless homes while we were undecided between purchasing an existing home or looking for a lot to build on. They never pressured us, listened to our feedback along the way and ultimately found our ideal lot off market and within budget to build our next home. When it came time to selling our existing home, Lauren & Steven guided us through the process with no surprises. We had multiple over ask offers within 24 hours of listing, resulting in an over ask 30 day close inclusive of a rent-free lease back period. We could not be happier with the outcomes of both transactions. The representation and guidance we got along the way with transparency, responsiveness, and professionalism. While we won't be in the market for a long time, we would entrust the Warneke Group without hesitation again!

The Warneke Group helped us navigate the very volatile housing market of 2022 and we could not have successfully completed our real estate transactions without them. With The Warneke Group, we were able to go under contract on the sale of our current home and the purchase of our next home within an hour of each other. These transactions were not cut and dry by any means, and Lauren and Steven were a crucial component of making sure these deals were done the right way. They held our hand through the entire process, made themselves available every time we had related items to do in person and were always quick to communicate. I can't say enough great things about working with them! Thank you Lauren and Steven!

Steven and Lauren were beyond fantastic throughout the entire home buying process. They were informative and always quick to respond. We felt very comfortable with them and would highly recommend them to others in the area!
