Testimonials!

Steve helped us every step of the way.  From selling our place to helping us buy our dream home. His patience and expertise was an invaluable one and we recommend his services to anyone who is looking for a professional to deliver on what he promises. Steve definitely exceeds expectations.

- Ruriko and Greg Taylor

Steve exceeded our expectations every step of the way. He sold our condo with competing offers in less than a week and then focused on finding us the house of our dreams. Without a doubt we would not be home owners right now if it weren't for Steve's expertise, guidance and commitment to getting us exactly what we wanted.

Steve made buying my first home a fun experience. I never felt pressured to buy a place until I found the right home, which I really appreciated.

Steve is very detail oriented which was perfect for us. By the time he had finished his presentation, we understood the exact steps we needed to take to get our home sold.

- Wes and Linda Thompson

Steve was able to sell our house in a declining market after a failed attempt with another agent. When our house didn’t sell initially, we were disappointed and worried that we were losing value. We were ready for a larger home, but we had that feeling it wasn’t going to happen.

We sat down with Steve and were shocked with the knowledge and statistics he had which really helped us understand the market we were in. His presentation was very professional. Our previous agent just kept pushing for a price reduction, but we didn’t understand why. Steve was able to present to us a strategy for selling our home in a tough market.  

He followed up with us consistently and we really liked his detail oriented approach with all the aspects of our sale. We felt our previous agent just put a sign on the property and hoped for the best. Our experience with Steve couldn’t have been farther from that. We were continually discussing our progress and things we could do to help with buyers first impressions when they viewed our home. He had us watching comparable homes so that we understood how competitive we were in the market place. He showed up early to all showings to make sure the lights were on, toilet seats down, fireplace was on, etc.  He even bought a picture and a lamp since one of our bedrooms was quite dark.

We were also disappointed with our previous agent’s knowledge of online search engines. We are big craigslist users and are always looking on mls.ca. Steve posted our listing on craigslist and even added our open houses separately each week. Our open houses were always updated on mls.ca and his webpage. His pictures were taken by a professional and they looked great. Each room was bright and welcoming. Our last agent took his own photos and they were so dark you couldn’t even tell which room you were looking at.

Steve got us a sale in tough market and then helped us negotiate a great deal on our new home. We may not have sold for as much as we could have 6 months ago, but once we got a great deal on our purchase we felt great about the whole thing. Steve kept us positive, but also realistic with what was happening in the market.  We’re so happy and grateful we have been able to make our move in this difficult market.

Steve's strong market knowledge and resourceful manner made it easier for me to make an informed decision I could feel good about. The fine points of this sale could not have been worked out without Steve's top negotiating skills and talent with people which landed me a price that set a precedent for similar homes in my neighborhood.

- Andrew John Harwood

I was very impressed with Steve right from the start. He always came very prepared to our meetings and was well informed on current market trends. For our first meeting, he told us about recent sale prices for condos in our building, and what competition we were up against with sales data on other active listings in our area. Steve’s background in the banking world also really helped since he was able to answer any banking questions we had.

Once we determined a price, Steve took pictures and measurements and our home was listed the next day. Steve held three open houses for us, and was coming back 2 – 3 times a week to show other agents and their clients our home. When listening to him talk to potential clients, he sounded like he would if he were trying to sell his own home. This was great.

Steve also helped us buy our first home. He was very helpful in asking the home owners the right questions. Questions we might not think to ask because we’ve never owned a home. He even met us when the home inspector came to inspect our new home.

Steve was able to sell our condo in three weeks, and we got exactly what we were asking for (the other condo’s for sale in our building took much longer to sell)

I would definitely recommend Steve to anyone…in fact, I already have.
