Joe is a great communicator, really understands the market, sets your property up for success, and has a great process from start to finish. Strong negotiation skills. I would recommend him to anyone!

Matt helped us find our new home through strategic planning and execution. We wanted to be very thoughtful about the home we purchased for our next chapter, which Matt was supportive of. We met with Matt several months before we were targeting to move – this worked out wonderfully as it gave us time to refine our expectations, see off-market opportunities, and discuss questions with Matt who worked with us patiently throughout our search. When we finally found the one, we were comfortable acting decisively with a competitive offer under Matt’s advisement. Matt is well-equipped to tailor his approach to help his buyers achieve their desired outcome. We will continue to work with Matt for our real estate needs, and would recommend him to others.

We were very fortunate to have selected Joe Smith of Next Step Realty to be our real estate agent. From our first meeting through the successful completion of the sale, Joe provided extensive knowledge of the real estate market in our area. He skillfully and patiently managed the tight scheduling between being accepted by the retirement home where we were going, the cleaning out process, and the sale of our home. What stood out most was Joe's ability to balance professionalism with a personable approach. He was always patient, taking the time to answer questions, explaining each step of the process, keeping our children in the loop, and ensuring that we felt informed and comfortable with every decision. Joe’s advice regarding the preparation of our home for sale was invaluable. He identified which repairs and improvements were worth making and which were unnecessary, helping us focus our time and resources wisely. He recommended an excellent contractor who was professional, highly skilled, and efficient, enabling us to get our home market ready in a timely manner. Joe's attention to detail and organization kept every aspect of the transaction moving efficiently. When offers of sale came in, Joe was extremely patient and thorough in explaining each offer to us in detail and providing invaluable advice in selecting the offer we wanted to accept. Most importantly, Joe delivered excellent results, selling our home well above anything we thought we would get. I would definitely recommend Joe Smith to anyone seeking a real estate professional who is knowledgeable, organized, patient, and genuinely dedicated to his client's success.

Tracy was extremely responsive and we trusted her completely. There was always an open line of communication which allowed us to exchange thoughts, have our questions answered and discuss all things related to our search for our next home.

We’ve been searching for a home for over a year since selling our previous home in 2025 in a different state and moving in with our in-laws. Initially, we believed the process would be straightforward, but it turned out to be anything but. We looked for a while and decided to pause and seek a new realtor early this year, and through a friend, we connected with Matt. From our initial phone conversation, we knew he was the right fit for us. Matt places a high value on building strong relationships and connections in the area while also thoroughly understanding our situation and what we needed. We were always on the same page, and he consistently encouraged us to not settle for less than we desired. As we navigated this process over the year, we likely submitted six to eight offers with other realtors. However, working with Matt, we only needed to make one offer on one house; the house we currently reside in! Matt excels in communication, comprehending effective ways to stand out, and tailoring his approach to each individual’s unique circumstances. We are incredibly grateful for Matt’s assistance in helping us secure our first home in Maryland. Don’t hesitate to reach out to Matt to become your next realtor. You won’t regret it!

Joe is incredibly knowledgable about the market. His estimates for the buying and selling prices were spot on giving us the best opportunity in a very competitive market. Joe made himself available at all times and answers questions very quickly. I will definitely be using him again if we decide to move.

Joe continues to raise the bar with every transaction. This was our third real estate transaction together, and somehow the experience keeps getting better and better. Joe is thoughtful, communicative, honest, and incredibly knowledgeable about the real estate industry. Throughout the entire process, he kept us informed, answered every question promptly, and always had our best interests at heart. His professionalism and expertise gave us complete confidence every step of the way. What truly sets Joe apart is his genuine care for his clients. He takes the time to understand your goals, provides honest guidance, and works tirelessly to deliver the best possible outcome. His entire team is fantastic—organized, responsive, and committed to making the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. After three successful transactions, I can confidently say that Joe and his team are the very best in the business. If you’re buying or selling a home, you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommend!

Matt was phenomenal! He hit the ground running and expertly guided us through every step of the selling process. His advice on home preparations and his network of local subcontractors truly set us up for success. Because of his precise pricing strategy and masterful open houses, we got a full-price offer in only 5 days. Highly recommend!

Matt met with us and discussed options for approaching the sale of our house. He brought some prospective buyers through per-market to gauge interest, then recommended some minor work to touch things up. When we eventually went to market, we had multiple offers within 48 hours and sold the house for well over asking price, and for much more than we had expected before starting the process. He was great to work with and took care of many things for us, especially helpful since we were already out of town. Highly recommend!

Matt was always available to take my calls and answer my numerous questions. When I was in panic mode, he was able to calm my nerves and keep me from falling off a cliff! Moving is a very stressful time, and Matt helped to ease that burden. I definitely recommend his services!
