mario c. | SELLER & BUYER
"Steve and Caroline are the best! They know the housing market, they understand how to succeed in it and they did a fantastic job for my wife and I as we decided to move and needed help to do so. Steve and Caroline came up with an amazing strategy on how to get the most for our home, and then they staged and sold our home quickly and effectively. After selling, they stayed on and helped us to find and purchase our next home exactly on terms just as we wanted."

"Even though the house was dated and needed some work, this did not deter or discourage Steven. He saw the potential in this property. He effectively used specific marketing strategies to attract the right buyers for this home. The house sold quickly and we were very happy with the result. He made us feel like we were his only clients, always conferring with us and keeping us informed. We will definitely use Steven again for any future buying or selling."

"Steven was very confident and professional when helping me purchase my cottage. He wasted no time setting up showings and graciously worked efficiently around my schedule to get things done. It was obvious that he had plenty of experience and demonstrated current knowledge about the real estate market. I was incredibly pleased with the outcome of his service and would recommend him to friends, family and strangers!"

"We were first-time home buyers with all the uncertainties and concerns that come with such a big endeavor. Their commitment to our satisfaction, through their honesty, patience, and diligent service, was truly remarkable. They provided answers to every question we had, informed us about every thing we needed to know, and allayed all our concerns. Above all, Steven and Caroline were very nice and friendly. We happily bought our home last fall."
