Joe is a complete professional. He reviewed every step of the process before we started - making sure we understood all the nuances and pitfalls. When there were different choices and opinions, Joe understood and very succinctly explained all the pluses and minuses allowing us to make fully informed choices. There's no question Joe knows his stuff, he knows the area and the market. I would not hesitate to recommend him and will use Joe if we ever need to buy/sell another home.
Joe Smith is a true professional & his knowledge of market trends & abilities to provide great guidance made him a great choice to sell my home. He educated us about each step to get my home ready for sale. His patience & ability to explain every process to ensure a positive outcome. His quick responses to messages & calls showed me his dedication to selling my home. He & his staff went above & beyond my expectations. I would highly recommend Joe Smith for anyone seeking a dedicated & effective real estate agent.

My son and I are looking to buy a place and Kristen came to show us the first place we were interested in. That place, and probably about a dozen other places after that, were not the right places for us. Never once did Kristen stop working tirelessly for us. Her communication was clear and timely and her true happiness and passion for helping us was evident every step of the way. We have landed in our home now and are enjoying it so much. I would recommend Kristen to anybody, anywhere. She knows the business, has contacts for every resource you need during home buying and after, and truly cares about her clients. We view ourselves as incredibly lucky to have found her as a realtor, and friend. The best of the best!!!

Cheryl made all my dreams come true. She found us a perfect home. Her knowledge of the community and professionalism in negotiations is outstanding. She helped us in so many ways from finding us house cleaners, movers, staging, mortgage brokers and more.
I cannot say enough about Joe Smith and Next Step Realty - absolutely wonderful! From our first conversation four months ago, I knew I had connected with a knowledgeable and considerate realtor. But Joe is so much more - he listened to my very complicated story and offered great advice on the best path forward. Living in New York with my brother's condo unit being in Annapolis, Maryland, made things pretty stressful for me; especially since restoration work was necessary in the condo unit to bring it up to a 'sell-ready' state. Joe was literally my "boots on the ground"; helping me make key paint, flooring, and bathroom vanity decisions. When all the work was completed, the condo unit looked absolutely amazing - brand new! The staging of the unit was equally impressive. The condo unit was listed on a Monday and by Friday afternoon we had 4 offers. From start to finish, Joe explained everything in terms I could understand and truly showed that he had the Estate's best interest at heart.
