We have been working with Steve to sell and purchase properties for over 12 years. Steve is highly professional, knowledgeable and easy to work with. We trust and value his advice. He just takes care of whatever needs to be done, leaving us with little to worry about. No stress. No drama. I wouldn't hesitate to work with Steve again. In fact, I look forward to using his services in the future.
Steven Wilberding, Traverse City,, a buyer from Traverse City, MI
Showed us many houses. Did not push us in one direction or another. More than willing to let us make our own decisions.
Bob Blomquist, East Jordan, Michigan, a seller from Central Lake, MI
Steve Scheppe was wonderful to work with both on the buy side and sell side. Very knowledgeable and an excellent communicator. Realistic in his expectations. Honest.
I listed with Steve Scheppe as I was not in the country during the home sale. I needed someone I could trust. I needed someone with experience. Steve checked all the boxes, plus some.
We would highly recommend Steve Scheppe to anyone looking to buy property on the Leelanau peninsula. He is knowledgable about the area and local real estate market. We were looking for a lakefront house in a specific area and budget, and he was able to help us find a house that wasn't even on the market yet. There's no way we would have bought our home without Steve. He guided us through every step of the process and gave excellent advice. Living out of town, he went above and beyond to help us purchase the home remotely. We couldn't recommend him more strongly and are so happy we worked with him and now have our dream home. Thank you, Steve!
Marc Ruemmler, Traverse City, a seller from Traverse City, MI
Steve is a true professional. Excellent communication. Assists in every way possible. Prompt with answering our questions. Always keeps his clients' interests top of mind. I would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Traverse City or northwest Michigan area.

Helpful beyond expectation. We have known several really good realtors, he is the best.
Jay and Pam Jusufi Brighton Mi, a buyer from Williamsburg, MI
Steve was the only agent that answered my call on the weekend, so that was an important aspect of our interaction with him. Steve was easy to communicate with, and he was spot on when it came to putting an offer together. Thank you, Steve.
Steve Scheppe is a great realtor and friend. He is always there to answer all your questions(which can be a lot) while selling or a buying a home. He checks off every box with his customer service and knowledge of property/home sales and purchases. I will always recommend Steve first before anyone else around northern Michigan.
Being a first time home buyer, Steve made the process simple and easy. He always was just a call away if you had questions day or night. Stand up guy would recommend his services to anyone.
Aprille and Jeff Truszkowski, a buyer from Williamsburg, MI
We have used Steve in the past and as always he handles every detail with grace and professionalism. Steve was able to answer all of our questions, walked us through the financing, and kept in close contact throughout the entire process. We recommend Steve to all our friends and family and will definitely use him again for our next purchase.
We found Steve to be attentive and he was great at keeping us informed all the way through the process! It was great working with him!
Very easy and little surprises!!
We would highly recommend Steve to anyone wanting to sell their property!

I would not hesitate to use Steve Sheppe again or to recommend him to others.
Thomas M., Ann Arbor Michigan , a buyer from Traverse City, MI
Steve was a pleasure to work with and helped us find and purchase the perfect investment property in Traverse City.

We are truly grateful for having worked with Steve on our recent purchase.
We were so impressed by his expert knowledge of the area, his willingness to truly understand our needs, and his patience working diligently to find us the right property.
Steve educated us throughout the process and also provided excellent guidance on how to create a solid offer in such a wildly competitive market.
He is a true professional whose honesty and integrity are always at the forefront of his interactions with his clients. We are forever grateful to Steve and will absolutely refer friends and family to him anytime.
Steve conducted himself with the highest manner of professionalism possible. His services went over and above to help us find our new home. I would highly recommend using Steve Scheppe him to anyone searching for a new home.
We have bought and sold with Steve Scheppe four times. We would not consider any other broker. We value Steve's knowledge of the traverse City market. He gives us excellent advice and is always available to answer questions.
Steve was the listing agent for the house we were renting and considering purchasing. After discussing the property and showing him around the house I liked his approach and felt confident using him as our realtor.
Providing a timely purchase was important for the sellers and Steve helped guide the timing of everything well. This purchase was contingent on the sale of my house which he coordinated seamlessly. The purchase of the new house went smooth as well.
After discussing the house we were renting (that was being listed for sale) I was comfortable with Steve. We shared mutual friends and was easy to talk to about the house. He was attentive to the situation and the professionalism he brought to the table helped all the transactions (sale of my old house, purchase of new house) go as smooth as they possibly could. He gave a helpful referral for financing that helped expedite the transaction as well. Steve was accessible when needed, answered questions with expertise, and helped execute the transaction with minimal issues. Highly recommended!
Garry Mannor - Old Mission Peninsula, a seller from Traverse City, MI
Steve was easy to work with. He was informative and communicative.
Steve was open and honest with the entire process.
Todd and Barb Herzog; Moving to Lake Ann, a buyer from Lake Ann, MI
Met Steve Sheppe at the first house we looked at. Impressed with him. Felt he was a great fit in our search for a new home.
Steve Sheppe is truly a professional, but also down to Earth person. You felt that you could sit down and discuss anything with him, and he would take time to listen and offer his opinion. Steve also has a good sense of humor.
Barb and I have been impressed with the service, communication and patience during this overall process of finding a home. Look forward to the new home and hope to keep in touch.
I have always been pleased with the performance and outcomes that I have experienced with Steve. He has always attempted to point out the good and bad points of every home that we tour. Especially those big items that sometimes are overlooked,roof, plumbing electrical etc. He goes beyond what is expected of a realtor. I feel that I can always call him with any questions or concerns about properties that we may have toured and even after the transaction he has address issues that sometimes are inconvenient. I would recommend him to anyone.
Steve is top notch! I will work with him exclusively with all of my future purchase and sales transactions. I recommend Steve to everyone!
Marc Ruemmler, Traverse City, a buyer from Traverse City, MI
Steve is first class. His knowledge of the current market is excellent. He worked with us through every aspect of the home buying process. Communication was clear and concise. He understood our wants/needs and was completely honest with us when searching for a home. I would recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home in Northern Michigan.
Brandon White Traverse City, MI, a seller from Traverse City, MI
It was a pleasure working with Steve throughout the process of selling my house. I found him to be knowledgeable, punctual, responsive, and experienced. I would, and have, recommended him on several occasions. He was an important ally in the sale of my house. He is just flat out good at what he does and it is apparent he likes his job.
Steve is knowledgable about the area, and also adept at current market research. He is communicative by phone, text and in person, and was also able to connect us to helpful contractors in the area to assist with decision-making and inspections. He was a valuable resource in our transaction, from analyzing land vs. developed properties to presenting appropriate offers, and I highly recommend him.
Very impressed with Steve. He literally nailed and executed his plan to a tee. Perfect execution. His local market knowledge and insight proved valuable.
Very professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. Top notch.
Overall Steve did a great job executing a well thought out strategy. Sold my house within 5 days, closed in less than a month.
Phil Mayberry - Interlochen, a buyer from Interlochen, MI
In 2019 my wife and I sold our summer home, figuring we would live in our Naples, Florida home year round. We love Naples but it is really hot in the summer months. In May, 2020 we started researching places where we might like to summer. Finally, deciding the Traverse City area met most if not not all of the points on our place to live checklist. Next step...find a real state agent.
We looked for an agent with market knowledge, at least ten years real estate experience, and, most importantly, could/would accommodate our our time frame. We wanted to come for five days, view some lake properties, and buy a home. So, we needed someone who could dedicate the time to help us
Steve had what we were looking for. Born and raised in the area, he certainly knew the lakes; from water quality to any special conditions of the lakes, plus the value of location on the lakes. Not only has he been in the real estate business for more than ten years, he is also a savvy real estate investor. His practical experience translates into excellent advice.
He completely committed to our timeline, while not ignoring his other clients. Steve spent the time required to show us multiple lake properties and wrote multiple offers, none of which were accepted, not because of Steve but because of the value of our offer. Since we didn't complete a deal for a lake house, we threw Steve a curve and changed our strategy. We decided to find an interim house, at a lower cost, thinking to spend a year or two and then find the lake house we wanted.
Steve worked just as hard on the new strategy as the original even though the financial reward would be less. We looked at several less expensive places and finally made an offer that was accepted. We returned to Naples and Steve continued to work for us, helping the details of the property and expediting the closing. A couple of weeks after the closing, Steve is still helping us with a few things.
We can only say thanks, Steve and give our wholehearted recommendation of Steve for anyone looking for a great agent.
Carol Finch Williamsburg Michigan, a seller from Williamsburg, MI
Mr Scheppe is excellent to work with. He is knowledgable and willing to put extra effort into making the best possible representation for the seller. I would use Mr. Scheppe on my next real estate experience both selling and buying.
Steve is a great guy I would recommend him to anyone and everyone
Whitney Biggs, Traverse City , a seller from Traverse City, MI
Steve was amazing as usual. He is always extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout the process. Highly recommend him to anyone I know looking to buy or sell. Thanks Steve!
Norman Potvin, 4155 Canterbury Ln,, a buyer from Kingsley, MI
I really believe Steve has earned our respect and trust. He worked hard and I never felt like I was ignored or less of a priority than any of his other clients. I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing his services. Thanks
My husband and I would highly recommend Steve Scheppe for your real estate needs. Steve was incredibly knowledgeable regarding the area and the properties available to us. He was always accessible, whether it was over the phone, setting up showings, or just lending an ear to talk things through. He quickly evaluated and understood our needs in looking for in a new home. If we move again, we would contact Steve to represent us.
Abbey Holcomb, traverse city, a seller from Traverse City, MI
Steve brings both experience and expertise to every situation. Buying and selling a home at the same can be a complex process, but his guidance and recommendations led us to a quick sale of our home and us getting our dream home. He listened to our needs and made recommendations that fit our needs. Hes incredibly easy to work with and genuine in every interaction he has. Very thankful to have him as our realtor and would absolutely recommend!
I have worked with Steve a number of times and it is always an enjoyable experience.
Steve did a great job with each part of the transaction to make things as easy as possible.
I would always recommend Steve to anyone who is looking for a realtor who is the definition of a professional.
Eva Weber Traverse City, MI, a seller from Traverse City, MI
Steve had great knowledge of the market value of my house and how to handle multiple offers. I liked that he was in constant communication with me and gave guidance through this process.
Chris & Janell DeVol, Traverse City, a seller from Traverse City, MI
We had an extremely smooth process selling our house with Steve. He had excellent communication at all times, explained the process, let us know next steps well in advance, and answered questions along the way so there was never a time when we felt unsure or insecure about what to do next. Most importantly, he was always honest and real with us.
Steve had a specific approach in mind for our situation and he executed it to perfection. When we listed our house, we left for two days and came home to 7 strong offers within the first 48 hrs of showings. We only had to prep our house for showings once! He was also able to help us negotiate an extended possession date since we had a baby between selling and closing, which gave us a few extra weeks to move out.
We've recommended Steve to several people since we worked with him and will certainly work with him again in the future for real estate needs.
If you are looking for someone that will get to know you, your needs and help you understand buying or selling a home, Steve's your guy. He's down to earth, puts your needs first and when push comes to shove, he will always do the right thing. We've used Steve multiple times in the past and if the need arises, will do so again in the future. You cannot go wrong with Steve, he's a miracle worker.
Steve first showed my wife and I a house several years ago. He helped us by telling us which mortgage company to work with and which ones to watch out for. We looked at several houses in the last couple years and finally found our forever home and helped the lengthily closing go by and made the transition better. Even after selling the house and finishing his job he still has helped try to communicate with us with getting something replaced in the house that was on warranty. Have already recommended steve to their people
Nancy McKeon, Williamsburg, MI, a buyer from Williamsburg, MI
Steve did a great job staying on top of the local RE market, sending me listings as soon as they became available, showing multiple properties via Zoom, coordinating the whole transaction seamlessly (and partly long-distance). He was a tremendous asset to me in my search, and is a tremendous asset to you. I hope you value him.
All excellents. Guess that says it.
Have already recommended Steve to two other families who are considering moves to this area.
John and Chris Knight, Traverse City, MI, a buyer from Traverse City, MI
Steve Scheppe was wonderful! We feel like we have made a new friend here. He was polite, helpful, extremely thoughtful and still professional. A kind person. We are glad our family recommended him. His personality and expert help made our house hunting experience a great one.
I only wish that he was also in our area to have sold our house for us!
Fay Shields. Williamsburg Michigan, a buyer from Williamsburg, MI
Working with Steve was a good experience and I always felt he was there to help me through finding and purchasing a new home
Steve Scheppe is an exceptional real estate broker. We had utilized his services with the sale of Gayle's mother's home in Traverse City a couple years ago, and found him to be highly professional, knowledgeable, quick to respond back to all our communication, and not pushy in any way. We appreciate the way he listened to our wishes and needs, gave his suggestions and ideas, but ultimately allowed us to make decisions regarding the sale of our home. We love that he used a professional photographer who took excellent photos of our home. Our home had multiple offers within the first day of placing it on the market! We appreciate Steve and would recommend his services to anyone in the area who is considering selling or buying a home.
Steve,
Went above and beyond helping my husband and I find the right home. He was available after work hours and always was quick to respond. He was knowledgeable and made the process easy to understand being that we were first time home buyers. He is trustworthy and has a lot of local knowledge and connections.
We were happy with Steve and how he work with us during the process
Doug Baumgardner, Traverse city, MI, a seller from Traverse City, MI
Steve was a great help in selling our properties. This is about our 4th sale with him. He always does an excellent job.
Abigail Walker, Middleville, MI, a seller from Traverse City, MI
Steve Scheppe is helpful, communicative, and overall just a nice guy. He definitely knows what hes doing and what the client wants. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor. Thanks Steve!
Regina M. Bowden, PhD, Oxford, MI, a seller from Northport, MI
Steve Scheppe has a track record of not only selling property, but truly understanding the Real Estate market and business. Steve is personable, a great listener, knowledgeable about the current market, but also able to speak to the state of the property, and it's relative value.
Steve doesn't "push" property. He sells because he learns as much about the house/property as he possibly can. He took the time to sit and talk with me about the property's history, looked at every inch of the property, and talked with me extensively about my wishes.
My friend recommended Steve because he had sold two properties for her. I found him totally professional, a good listener but he also expressed his opinions on the important topics. He was exactly what I expected a Real Estate Professional to be. And he sold my one hundred year old cottage in a reasonable time frame and at a reasonable price.
Steve is a great communicator. I live five hours away from the cottage I was selling. He kept me in the loop at all times. We had a couple who only wanted to reduce the price of the cottage excessively. Steve handled them in a professional manner...but basically told them we aren't interested in giving away the property. He communicated all of this to me in the middle of the transaction and handled them beautifully.
Steve worked hand in hand with my lender, and insured that all of the necessary paperwork that they required was obtained and submitted in a timely manner.
I have worked with Steve on the purchase of our primary residence as well so when I needed to sell our rental property I knew that I would be using him since he had done such a great job in our previous real estate transaction.
Steve is easy to communicate with and also understands and respects your input. He does not try to force what he thinks might be best but he will work with you to come up with a great strategy that you are comfortable with during the selling and negotiating process.
We are happy with the process of working with and the results of our real estate transaction using Steve as our realtor.
Phil & Karen Krumm, Traverse City, MI, a buyer from Traverse City, MI
We had worked with Steve on a previous house purchase and were so pleased with his service and expertise that we would not consider changing realtors.
Steve is awesome. Just got what we were doing and helped up accomplish everything.
The Irvings (formerly of Traverse City,, a seller from Traverse City, MI
Steve's planning abilities are skill-sets that sold our home. He came with an executable plan and provided suggestions that worked for our situation. He sold our lake-front property and home to the first buyer for cash! We highly recommend Steve Scheppe as a realtor!
Phil Krumm, Traverse City, a seller from Elk Rapids, MI
Steve is outstanding.
Renell Fink Williamsburg, MI, a seller from Williamsburg, MI
Steve is an honest and an all around great guy. Does what he says he is going to do and so easy to get along with. I highly recommend him!
We heard about a couple of our friends great experiences with Steve and reached out to him immediately to find out what steps we needed to take to get our house hunting process started. When we were finically able to start looking Steve knew of multiple homes we would be interested in. He recommended a house that had just came on the market and told us exactly what we needed to do to make our offer stand out and we quickly got accepted because of Steves expertise. We are so grateful and will recommend Steve to everyone in need of a home.
Steve was able to help us maneuver the market and parts of town- something key for newbies in the market! The patience with us while he listened to feedback and continued to show us homes was important. We could not be happier with Steve!
I would highly recommend Steve Scheppe to any person buying or selling their home. He made it his mission to make our transaction go as smooth as possible.
He is trustworthy, knowledgable, and demonstrates a high level of integrity in all his endeavors. He maintained contact with everyone involved in the process and gave us frequent updates. He was ALWAYS available for any questions or concerns we had and was able to give us comprehensive answers to many of our questions by pulling from personal experience. I would and have recommended Steve to many friends and family. In my opinion he is the best. Thanks Steve!!
If you are looking for a down to earth and caring realtor to help, don't hesitate to work with Steve. His attention to detail and your personal needs is outstanding. I can't talk highly enough about his services.
Geri Pool Suttons Bay MI 49682, a buyer from Suttons Bay, MI
Steve Scheppe is by far the best realtor/broker is have dealt with.
Kathleen Edmonds Prescott Arizona 86303, a buyer from Williamsburg, MI
Steve could not have been more helpful. I had many questions and he was there with the answer. I would recommend Steve to everyone.
I met Steve Scheppe at an open house and liked his manner. He was friendly, knowledgeable, professional and not at all pushy. When we got serious about purchasing a house, I was happy to enlist Steve's help. Steve listened to our needs and directed us to appropriate listings, His understanding on the area community was helpful to us in selecting the best location for our purchase. He also provided contacts for home improvement work that was needed after the purchase. I would recommend Steve to anyone looking for a house in the Traverse City area.
Krissy & Levi, Traverse City , a seller from Traverse City, MI
Upon meeting with Steve about listing our home, I felt completely comfortable with his knowledge, experience, and plan to sell our home. We are more than happy with the work Steve did to sell our home quickly, and he made it virtually stress free on our part! He went above and beyond to represent us in negotiations, explained the process clearly, and did a great job overall.
Linda Warner Prudenville, a seller from Williamsburg, MI
Steve helped us navigate through a difficult and time consuming negotiation. He maintained a professional and reassuring attitude throughout the contract.
We enjoyed working with Steve Scheppe for the purchase of our new home. Steve was extremely knowledgeable and was able to answer all of my questions. Buying our new seemed somewhat effortless with the ease of Steves negotiations and I would absolutely recommend him to my family and friends!
I met with several local brokers when preparing to sell my home. Steve was the only one I met with who I felt was genuinely acting in my best interest. All other brokers I had met with had a clear agenda that did not necessarily favor my best interest.
Steve made sure the process went smoothly and made it as pain free as possible.
Will Reed, Traverse City , a buyer from Interlochen, MI
Being a first time home buyer, he took it slow and described everything step by step and what to do in each step. He made it seem like a breeze.
Absolute top notch service, best of the best! I'll be referring him to everyone I know.
He showed patience in waiting for the right house with me, and even pulled me off a couple houses that were not good option's. When the right one came up we had an offer in within hours!
Sarah Hulwick, Williamsburg, Michigan, a seller from Traverse City, MI
Steve has to be one of the nicest "salesman" you could find. He wasn't pushy or trying to just get the sale done to move on. Steve was open about value and what we could do differently, and what not to do in order to get our house sold. Steve is genuinely a nice, caring person who was out for the best for our family. We are happy with the service he provided and process of the sale of our home. Steve has also gone out of his way to offer his advice on the purchase of our new dream home. We would highly recommend Steve to anyone selling or purchasing a home. Thank you again Steve for making our next chapter that much easier and giving us peace of mind when selling our home. 2018
I believe that what I appreciated most about Steve was I always felt that was working in our behave to find the home that best fit our needs. I never felt that he was just there to make a quick sale and move on. Moving from Northeastern Ohio to Traverse City, we relied on an agent who represented our needs and wishes. That is something that is not easy to find and one feels vulnerable. I never felt this way with Steve and appreciate all he did to find us a home. I would not hesitate to recommend Steve to anyone looking for a home in the Traverse City area. 2018
Steve was extremely helpful and took care of issues for me since I was out of town.
A pleasure to work with. 2018
Nathan Griswold, Traverse City, a seller from Traverse City, MI
I have been working with Steve for over 8 years. In fact, I think a previous land purchase was one of his first closings. In total, I have purchased and/or sold four parcels or land and one home with his help. I have also recommended him to many of my family and friends. Everyone agrees he is effective and good at what he does! 2018
John-David Antosiak, Traverse City, a buyer from Traverse City, MI
Steve was perfect in every possible way. I would refer him to any person that inquired about selling or purchasing a home. 2018
Steve Scheppe was wonderful to work with. He had great knowledge of the home I was looking at, he was able to negotiate the asking price for me and also made the closing happen in the time frame I needed it to. 2017
Heather Kyseth, Fort Collins, CO, a buyer from Traverse City, MI
Steve Scheppe is awesome! I will definitely work with him again in the coming year! Thank you Steve! 2017
Heather Kyseth, Fort Collins CO, a buyer from Traverse City, MI
Working with Steve Scheppe has been awesome! I live out of state, but as an investor, have been interested in properties in Traverse City. Steve has been extremely helpful to me as I begin to learn the lay of the land and discover each area of town and it's offerings. He has also been super flexible in meeting with me when I am able to come to town to look at potential business ventures and provide me with any information I may need to make a knowledgeable decision. But truly I like working with Steve because along with his professionalism, he has a sense of humor and comfortable demeanor! Thanks for everything Steve! 2017
Steve was extremely helpful in helping me search for a house that met my preferred characteristics. He made the entire home buying experience easy, quick, and stress free. This was my first home buying experience and Steve provided me with expert advice and considerations all the way through the process. He made himself available to me at every time of day. Having him be just a text away with any of my concerns was extremely helpful. I would recommend Steve to anyone and everyone I know 2017
Phil & Karen Krumm, Elk Rapids, a buyer from Elk Rapids, MI
We found Steve Scheppe to be knowledgeable and personable in all our contacts. He promptly returned all of our phone calls and worked closely with our lender to facilitate this transaction. 2017
Steve always made himself readily available, even on weekends and when he was out of town. He was soooo extremely patient with me, he understood the stress of the home buying process and always remained calm and reassured all was right on track.
I have heard that buying a home is one of the most beautiful, yet most stressful things we will go through in our lives. It is a true statement, it is a roller coaster ride. However, Steve was ALWAYS there for me to answer any questions I had and was always there to make sure things were going according to plan. I knew I could count on him and that he would do everything he needed to get us "home". My children and I will always be thankful for all of his hard work to make sure our dream of owning a home became a reality! 2017
Sam Fessenden, Edwardsburg, MI, a buyer from Cedar, MI
I was recommended to work with Steve Scheppe by an acquaintance in Cedar, MI. He was professional, offered quick responses and educated me on the local environment in the Leelanau area. The closing was smooth with no hitches! Thank you Steve for all of your assistance!

Aprille and Jeff Truszkowski, Traverse, a buyer from Williamsburg, MI
Steve is an excellent realtor. I would highly recommend him to anyone interested in purchasing or selling their home. He is extremely knowledgeable about the area and was always accessible to answer any question we had throughout our home buying process. Thanks Steve!! 2017
Dean and Kelly Stuhlmueller, Traverse, a seller from Kingsley, MI
Steve Sheppe took amazing care of us!! He was the ultimate professional at all times, calming and knowledgeable. As you know, house searching and the entire buying process can be stressful! Steve made this entire process smooth and pretty painless! We loved working with him and highly recommend him to anyone looking for an exceptional real estate agent ! 2017
Shane Jackson, Traverse City, a buyer from Traverse City, MI
Would recommend Steve to anyone, it was a great experience. 2017
Kelly Stuhlmueller , Traverse City MI , a buyer from Traverse City, MI
I had talked to Steve Sheppe about a listing about 3 years prior- he was professional on the phone, offered suggestions and was not pushy at all! Recently, when my husband and I decided to home shop, a girlfriend mentioned their "awesome" realtor, Steve Sheppe and it clicked that I had called on one of his listings several years ago and he made an impression.
We were absolutely not disappointed!!!
Steve went above and beyond his job in helping us navigate through the home buying (and selling of current home) process. He answered all of our questions, brought up pertinent information and when we did finally find "The Home," he was right there with us, sharing in our joy!
My husband and I highly recommend Steve Sheppe as an outstanding realtor !!! We are happy!

Lincoln Niewiadomski Traverse City MI, a buyer from Lake Ann, MI
I found Steve Scheppe to be one of the most competent realtors I have ever dealt with. I have purchased numerous properties and I really enjoy when someone is professional and knowledgeable about their industry. I would and will recommend Steve to anyone looking to need help in the Traverse city area. Thank you, 2017
Excellent agent and a great person. Very knowledgeable about the entire process from start to finish. Also, knowledgeable about the Travers City area and Old Mission Peninsula. 2017
I was considering putting my own home up for sale and had an agent from our local Century 21 office do the appraisal. They found out that I was thinking of buying in Traverse City and called Northland to find someone GOOD to work with me. Hence how Steve Scheppe came to assist us.
We have had many real estate agents in the last 40 years and not one even came close to understanding our needs as Steve has been. There was no high pressure, he didn't waste our time by showing houses that didn't come close to fitting our needs and ALWAYS gave us his honest opinion. He was always accessible and when he was going to be away he made me aware of his schedule. You need to give this guy a raise!
I really had little dealing with any other staff from your office because I had direct access to Steve Scheppe. I did recently met with Cathy McKinley of your property management services and was impressed with her as well.
Brian & Laura Miller, Traverse City , a seller from Lake Ann, MI
Selling a house can be a tumultuous process but Steve made it as simple as possible. He acted as our advocate and communicated with us every step of the way. Steve made selling our home easy and he inspired confidence that everything was taken care of for us quickly and accurately. To add to it, he's an all around nice guy. We would recommend him to anyone. 2017
Chris and Leslie Goodrich East Lansing, a buyer from Traverse City, MI
Steve Scheppe was a true pleasure to work with. He goes above and beyond in service. He wants to make sure you are comfortable at every step of the process. I can't imagine finding anyone better to handle all the details of a real estate purchase. I would highly recommend anyone who wants to have a professional and pleasurable experience to work with Steve. We needed some critical research in our purchase and Steve really drilled down, spent a tremendous amount of time, had an inordinate amount of patience to make sure we had everything we needed. His knowledge of the area is invaluable. We feel we gained not only a lasting future relationship with a broker but we gained a friend. 2016
Hal Learman, Bloomfield Hills, a seller from Traverse City, MI
Steve Scheppe not only sold our vacant water front property; but, he also worked closely with us on the potential purchase of a water front shared condo unit which in the end did not work out because of insurance issues with the unit. And Steve guided us through every step of the way gathering and sharing information necessary to make the appropriate decisions...Very talented young man! 2016
We found Steve to be client-oriented and a good listener. Although we initially met him looking at his own home which was for sale, he had no pause in recommending another home to us which better met our needs and requirements. We found him to be personable, helpful, and ethical. We would not hesitate to recommend hi to other people needing an agent. 2016
Josh McDonough, Traverse City, a seller from Traverse City, MI

Tim Kiel - Traverse City, a buyer from Northport, MI
Comments were already captured. He went above and beyond to get us the home we wanted and to guide us down the path of selling our home. If he can move down to the kalamazoo area I have another property for him to sell.... 2016

Steve immediately went to work supplying us with information that was useful and important and never stopped. We were 1500 miles away and we were able to decide on a home with one in-person visit. He made the paper work process easy and painless. An extremely capable broker. 2016

Steve Scheppe was extremely patient and understanding while I figured out what I wanted out of a house. His knowledge of the area and honesty were both excellent and much appreciated. 2016
Steve was a constant professional. He quickly recognized our needs and desires when selecting a home for purchase, and found us the perfect home! I will recommend Steve to everyone I know and care about to use as a realtor. A+ performance. He helped a ton with the negotiation process, and when underwriting threatened to kill the deal he was able to negotiate with the seller to keep them interested in the sale. GREAT JOB Steve! 2015
Judy TenHouten, Grawn, Mi, a seller from Grawn, MI
I recommend Steve to every one I know. He is helpful with all aspect of the real estate transaction and if he does know he tells you but also states he will find out and get back to you. We appreciate everything Steve has done for us. He has brought and sold 4 properties for us. Thank you

David And Theresa G, Cedar, Mi, a buyer from Traverse City, MI
We have been working with Steve for over three years now. From the first property that we bought through him while we were still living in Colorado and didnt see the property prior to owning it through our third property that we bought earlier this year Steve has always looked out for our best interest. Even though we didn't buy our second property for more than 2.5 years after the first he was always staying in contact with us, sending listings that he thought would be of interest to us and sent us holiday gift baskets! Beyond knowledge of the area he has knowledge as to what makes sense from a financial stand point and has a lot to offer. More than that he's a realtor that you can trust. We can't say enough good things about Steve.
