I sought out Steve because I wanted an experienced and well-reviewed buying agent. My wife and I were happy with him. There are many reasons to recommmend Steve I will focus on four. First, Steve has a thorough understanding of the market in this part of upstate New York. He is familiar with the prices at which homes have sold and the prices at which they should typically sell, and he understands these patterns for a wide range of homes. This kind of knowledge is contextualized to things like what else is proximate to a given home, seasons, and the work patterns of communities. Second, Steve has at least a preliminary awareness of things to look out for when first inspecting a home. Beyond cosmetics, Steve is attentive to construction and potential future repair costs. Third, Steve is accessible. He listened to our preferences, adapting with us as those preferences evolved, and I could count on him to respond to us promptly and even meet with us on short notice. Finally, Steve will lobby for you on your behalf to achieve just compromises with sellers. Steve approaches his job with strategy and purpose, which can ease the burdens on your bank account. In our case, this paid off as some seller concessions shortly before closing for a necessary repair. I recommend him for anyone seeking a true professional agent.
