Seller reviewSteve Lake did it again. He helped us get multiple offers on our home in the first week it was listed and we had a sales agreement a few days later. Steve always does a wonderful job communicating through each step of the process, being super available days, nights, or weekends, and working hard to get the house ready and close the sale. He has a great knowledge of the market and brings a great voice of experience in helping set the best price and facilitating a quick and easy sale. We're so glad to work with Steve and will definitely work with him in the future.

Landlord reviewSteve was great to work with. From our first meeting through now as we wrap up the rental he has been professional, communicative, and prompt. Steve always kept me informed of issues that came up but whenever he brought a problem to me he also had a solution already in place or was working a proposal for me to approve. Anytime I asked Steve to do something it was usually done the same day and was done well the first time without any call backs. Now that we're wrapping up the rental and preparing to move back to the house, Steve has helped with transferring utilities and offered to schedule cleaners to get the house moved in ready for my family. Having Steve mange my property was a great decision and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a property manager.

Landlord reviewStephen Lake continues to be our go to Realtor for our properties. We would not consider anyone else. We are very fortunate to have him as a "team member"

Tenant reviewThe thing that sets Steve Lake apart from others we have worked with is his genuine care for people and their families. He took the time to ensure he got to know us, welcomed us with open arms to the area, and was always willing to help whenever we needed it. If we had a problem or concern we knew regardless of what day or hour of the day he would respond quickly and with a solution. He is an expert communicator and always ensured we knew what was being done to assist with any of our issues. We have worked with many others who default to email or portals that once sent go unanswered. Steve's personal touch and genuine care is something I have rarely if ever experienced before and am unlikely to experience again. If my family and I are ever lucky enough to return to the area my first call will be to Steve!!!

Seller reviewI had a great experience working with Stephen Lake and would highly reccomend him. He's extremely trustworthy and knowledgeable about the real estate market. He had multiple buyers for our property and we sold it for more than the listed price within two days!
-
Buyer reviewSteve has been a friend of our family for years. He helped guide us in buying our first home and has been on the ride with us for a few years in our search for a bigger home. I'm not sure I would be comfortable enough to select another real estate agent other than Steve throughout this process. He has been a mentor to us and has given his feedback and knowledge to ensure we were making the right decision for our family. You have an amazing person working for your company and you should be just as lucky having him as we did.
