LCC & RBC, a buyer from Fairfax, VA
We were referred to Steve by a family member who spoke highly of him. We immediately realized why after consulting with him. Steve was patient as he worked with us for years in buying our first home. He answered numerous questions and was always prompt in getting back to us. We only started to take the process seriously when we became pregnant with our first child. Steve worked with us closely and helped us in getting our dream home before the birth of our daughter.
As this was our first time purchasing a property, he walked us through the process and pointed out things we should look for when finding a home. Our home was highly sought after and he helped us make sure that we put in an offer that was strong yet reasonable. He supported us throughout the entire closing process and helped to connect us with trustworthy and reliable contractors. We highly recommend Steve in helping you buy your home!

Steve has been a pleasure to work with from the get-go. He had been instrumental in finding our future home and constantly displayed a consistent stream of open communication. He's proactive through every step of the process, and I'll definitely be working with Steve in the future. I never felt lost or confused as Steve made sure that my husband and I were taken care of from start to finish.

2023
John and Jen P, a buyer from Falls Church, VA
We cannot say enough good things about Steve. We were searching for a single family home in an incredibly challenging market, and it took a while due to the lack of inventory and the insanely competitive offers. But Steve guided us through it with skill, patience, judgment, and a personal touch. We looked at many houses, and our needs changed during the search. Steve always looked out for us and what we needed. And he was clearly liked and respected by the agents he dealt with on our behalf, which says a lot. We are thrilled with how everything turned out, and Steve deserves a ton of credit for that. He also was invaluable with respect to the home inspection, mortgage and other related issues. Really top notch realtor and person.

2023
Famartin, a seller from Herndon, VA
Steve did a great job getting our home ready for sale and marketing it. He set us up with several contractors to get the house up to snuff, then hired a great photographer to capture the property in its best light. We had over 70 showings in 3 days and sold for 66K over asking.
2022
Ken, a buyer from Ashburn, VA
Steve helped us both buy our new home and sell our old home in a matter of months, and we highly recommend him!

On the buy-side, he was incredibly responsive and seemingly always available when we identified a house we were interested in seeing. Steve is knowledgeable of the area, has deep industry knowledge and was thorough with his thoughts on the properties. We greatly appreciated his insights and based on his feedback felt comfortable and confident in our decisions throughout the home buying process. On the sell-side, Steve began working with us well before it came time to list our house and developed a plan that resulted in a positive experience and quick sale.

Steve truly made us feel valued, and we would certainly work with him again!

2022
Prashant, a buyer from Chantilly, VA
Steve helped us in purchasing land in Fairfax county. This was our first time buying land and we had lots of questions. He guided us through all our questions and also gave us information on things we didnt even know we should ask/consider. He explained everything in a way that was easy to understand from making the offer, to putting us in touch with Engineers and builders that he has worked with in the past. He was always available to answer our questions and helped us with every single step till closing. He is professional, experienced, and a helpful agent. Highly recommend.
2022
Annelie, a buyer from Arlington, VA
Steve was recommended to us by several of our friends and he was always available for viewings, answers and tips during our house hunting stage. He totally devoted his time to us when we were visiting from the West Coast for a weekend for at sight viewings.

Steve has a lot of knowledge that we as buyers valued immensely. He is aware of possible flaws in construction and foundation quality, and is good at detecting these. He is also well educated in natures effects on properties as flood risks, certain trees and other vegetation that may look appealing to a novice gardener.
We truly value Steves honesty. He will not try to just sell you a house, but point out negatives to make you make a thorough processed decision. We wanted a home we would love forever and he worked hard to achieve that for us. He made our house buying experience smooth and positive. I would recommend Steve to anyone looking for a realtor and will call him again if we have further needs.
2021
Krysti, a buyer from Alexandria, VA

2021
Brendan, a buyer from Washington, DC
Steve helped me buy my first home and I have absolutely no complaints and would recommend him to anyone looking to buy a house. He was quick to respond to my questions and set up showings, and helped me understand what to look for when viewing a place. He was patient and willing to work with me as long as it took for me to find my house.
2021
Ryan, a buyer from Alexandria, VA
My overall home buying experience with Steve was phenomenal. He is extremely knowledgeable, certainly shows his years of experience and expertise. Steve was understanding and patient with me and my fiancee who were first home buyers and made sure that we are 100% happy with the purchase. I would certainly work with Steve in the future, highly recommended!
2021
Victoria, a buyer from Annandale, VA
My spouse and I were first-time homebuyers, and we were fortunate to have Steve as our agent, especially when navigating a fast-paced and competitive housing market. We were connected to Steve from friends who he also helped find a home, and we had such a positive experience working with him that we plan on recommending him to others as well.

Steve ensured we had all the information and resources we needed upfront to successfully buy a home in our area consistently advocating for us and maintaining a level of professionalism throughout the entire process. We really appreciated his knowledge of our market (and the industry in general) and his quick responsiveness and availability, which we felt gave us the edge as prospective buyers. He also made sure to understand exactly what we were looking for, and he never pressured us for the sake of making a sale; he instead takes the time to provide sound and honest advice, and ensures we are comfortable with every decision we made along the way.

Even after we bought our home, Steve has continued to make himself available to us (e.g. checking in with us after we moved in, recommending contractors in our area when we need to get certain work done on the house, etc.). All this to say, if you want an agent that goes above and beyond from the initial search to the final signing day we highly recommend working with Steve!
2021
Andrew, a buyer from Oakton, VA
Steve was incredible to work with. His knowledge was incredibly insightful about the market and things to check for when buying a house.

I would highly recommend working with Steve Michaels

Vikas, a buyer from Washington, DC
Steve has helped us buy two homes and sell one home. He is incredibly patient, thorough, and a true advocate for his clients. Over the past few years, Steve helped us find two homes that were perfect for us. He also helped us get our house ready to sell by finding a great stager and painter. He listed our house at the right price and helped us accept the best offer.
2021
Alex, a seller from Ashburn, VA
I've worked with Steven on multiple house sales. Every single time he exceeds the level of service that we experienced the time before. Steven is knowledgeable about the market, how to negotiate, and the best way to stage and show off the house. On the purchasing side, he takes the time to listen to your needs and will only show you properties that fit your needs.

Many realtors just view their clients as commodities and rely on the customer to find the houses. Steven makes his customers feel valued and like family. He's the best kind of realtor as he doesn't try to sell you, he is really working with you. Attention to detail sets him apart and you won't be disappointed.
2021
Alex, a buyer from Arlington, VA
Steve was responsive and patient with us as we looked all over the place for a house that met our specific needs.

2020
Erik & Dzenana , a buyer from Alexandria, VA
We found Steve through realtor.com and he helped us buy our first home. Steve is honest, experienced, responsive, reliable and just a really nice guy. We felt like he really looked out for us and our interests. When we found the place we liked and wanted to buy, it seemed like the deal will fall through due to appraisal issues, but Steve helped save the transaction and we were really happy to have him and his expertise on our side. Not only did we get the house we wanted, but we also ended up saving money. We are satisfied with our experience with Steve and would happily work with him again in the future. Would recommend Steve to anyone!

Overall, we are extremely pleased with him and would engage him for any future real estate transactions as well as highly recommend him to any potential buyers or sellers.
2020
The Rocks, a seller from Herndon, VA
This is the second home Steve has helped us buy. Steve never made us feel rushed into making a decision and clearly wanted what would be best for our needs and wants, instead of just pushing us into any place. His knowledge was great and we felt no hesitation going to him with even the simplest questions. Without hesitation we would work with Steve again and recommend him highly.
2020
Phil, a seller from Alexandria, VA
I would 100% recommend Steve to my family and friends. Throughout the entire process, Steve was incredibly easy and enjoyable to work with, and super knowledgeable about houses, the market, and the entire buying process. He provided substantive and easy to understand answers about the questions we had (as first time home buyers) and was super patient as we navigated the labyrinth that is the homebuying process. He was never pushy and I absolutely trust his judgement and advice at the properties we saw and the market conditions. He made the entire process really smooth, and he always made sure we were comfortable with the process. Even after we closed, Steve really cares about maintaining a positive relationship. We plan to go to him if/when we ever decide to sell or move down the line.
2020
Aisha, a seller from Manassas, VA
I found Steve thanks to all of his glowing reviews online. My husband and I were moving across the country, and this was our first home purchase. Steve gave us a rundown of the entire process at the beginning so we knew what to expect. He is responsive and knowledgeable. He answered all our emails and texts quickly and was happy to answer all ofourquestions. Once we found our dream house, Steve helped us make a competitiveoffer that was attractive enough to beat out a potential buyer that offered more money than we did!

Steve also has a lot of integrity. When an unexpected issue arose with the house on closing day, we delayed closing and Steve was in our corner theentire time while we worked to discover the root of the problem. He didn't simply push forward with the deal and walk off leaving us holding the bag. He really does want his clients to be happy with their purchase. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone. Thank you Steve!

We sincerely recommend him; you will be happy you worked with him!

2020
Lauren Oliver, a seller from Washington, DC
Throughout the home buying process Steve was always extremely professional, helpful, and knowledgeable. As first time home buyers we did not know much about the process. Fortunately, Steve was always extremely patient with us, answering all of our questions and ensuring we were always comfortable throughout the process.

Every time we looked at a house/condo Steve was always extremely engaging and thorough, always following up on even the smallest of details. Even post-settlement we continue to be amazed by Steve's responsiveness and engagement.

Overall we feel fortunate to have had Steve's expertise and guidance as an agent.

We were able to overcome any obstacle that came up and he took care of any concerns/questions I had. Even with the current pandemic, everything was smooth.

2020
Dan, a seller from Herndon, VA
Steve is incredibly knowledgeable and patient. As first time home buyers, we were nervous going into this process and wanted to make sure we picked a realtor that was going to be thorough with us. Steve was more helpful than we could've hoped for. Always willing to answer questions and walk us through each detail and document of the home buying process. When looking for houses, Steve was always responsive and was able to make us feel like we were his only client. His attention, dedication, and responsiveness made working with him smooth. Steve has a really great ability to provide insight, but still allowed us to make our own decisions. He was able to steer us in the right direction without offering strong opinions. Lastly, I want to point out how helpful Steve was during negotiations and making sure we made competitive offers. Even during closing, Steve was still fighting to make sure we got the best deal possible. We will absolutely be referring Steve to any of our friends and family in the area.
2020
Pam, a seller from Reston, VA
Steve is a terrific agent. We were worried about trying to sell a condo during Covid epidemic but Steve helped with all the details to make an easy and safe process for us. The condo sold in one day at full asking price. We cant thank Steve enough for guiding us every step of the way.
2020
Amanda, a seller from Springfield, VA
As first time home buyers, we knew next to nothing about the home buying process. Steve was more than willing to explain the process in detail and answer the numerous questions we had. He genuinely cared that we got the right home for the best price. He made us feel as though we were his only client, as he set aside multiple hours across multiple weekends to take us on home tours. When we finally made a decision on which home to purchase, Steve explained every document we were signing and helped coordinate all the necessary inspections so we simply had to show up when necessary. His extensive experience and knowledge made buying a house stress-free and seamless. We truly enjoyed working with him and highly recommend his services.
2020
Carol, a seller from Arlington, VA
Steve was the agent when I bought this house and I was so impressed with his strategy that I hired him as the listing agent when I sold the house three years later. Steve marketed my house aggressively, which really paid off. He had great ideas about staging, yet was also flexible. Steve was also prompt with everything and offered ideas and assistance every step of the way. I have another house to sell soon and will certainly ask him to be my listing agent again. Thanks for everything, Steve!
2020
J & M, a seller from Herndon, VA
Steve was referred to us by an advisor to assist in selling our property to a developer. It was clear from the beginning that Steve was extremely knowledgeable about the area and market. He was quickly able to get us multiple offers, then help us make the decision that was best for us. Through the lengthy process, Steve always kept us informed on the progress of the sale. Since we were unsure of the closing date, due to dependence on the county's approval, we moved out of state a few months prior to the closing. During this time, Steve went way above and beyond by helping us re-purpose many of the items left behind from the house, something that we had expressed, but not expected to happen. Even after the sale, Steve has kept in touch with us and offered to assist in any future real estate plans.
We were extremely pleased with him and would highly recommend his services to anyone who needs a realtor.

2019
smart055, a buyer from Stafford, VA
Steve was extremely helpful, responsive, and diligent. He walked us through the entire home buying process and was able to answer any and all of our questions/concerns. He gave extremely helpful advice and guided us to our first home. When it came to contract documentation, he was knowledgeable and gave us the critical information we needed to know upfront without overwhelming us with the details. He is a great asset and an excellent realtor to have in your back pocket.

2019
Caroline, a buyer from Washington, DC
We cannot recommend Steve more highly! As first time home buyers, we had hundreds of questions and were casting a wide net geographically in order to find our first home in DC. Not only was Steve responsive and extremely knowledgeable about the market, but he was endlessly patient and kind, answering all of our questions and providing us with great additional information, too. Even though DC is a competitive market, Steve's guidance and negotiation skills led to our first offer being accepted! When our closing was delayed because of an issue on the seller's side, Steve was proactive and made sure we were informed and also advocated for our interests throughout the process. It was so comforting to have Steve on our side and we are so thankful we found him to guide us through this process. Definitely planning to work with him again in the future.
2019
KK, a seller from Manassas, VA
Steve was excellent to work with. Listened to ALL our needs, requests and concerns. Let us make decisions but provided us with his expert knowledge so we could fully understand everything.

Mike, a seller from Alexandria, VA
Great realtor! Steve is eager to help in any way! Everything went smoothly during the process.
2018
Dan, a buyer from Reston, VA
The home-buying process can be overwhelming, and, for the first-time home buyer, even intimidating. It is important to have a real estate agent who is knowledgeable, patient, and willing to explain each step (often over and over!).
When I decided the time was right to buy my first home I spoke to a friend. He recommended his realtor who had helped he and his wife find the home of their dreams. Following up on that recommendation was one of my smartest moves ever. Steve is from this area and knows all the details that are important to a buyer, including shopping, schools, transportation and recreational options. He was available at all times, even keeping in touch when he had to be out of town for a few days. Emails and phone calls were answered quickly and completely. Most importantly, financial considerations were explained in detail.
If and when I repeat the home buying process, Steve will be my first call and when any of my family or friends ask for a recommendation, I will definitely give them Steves name.

Srini, a seller from Herndon, VA

Steve is the most outstanding realtor we have worked with in the last 40 years! My family and I have known Steve since 2005. He has been our realtor for both buying and selling a couple properties. He is trustworthy, dependable and professional. He is going to work for you he will be your best advocate. He always answered our questions..anytime of the day. He is the only realtor who has stayed in touch with us after a sale of our home. Whenever we have questions about real estate, Steve is our go-to guy. We would highly recommend Steve as your next realtor!

2018
Kevin and Ghazal, a buyer from Fairfax, VA
Steve was a fantastic agent, he helped us find and buy our new home as well as sell our old one. Not only was he knowledgeable and professional, but also friendly and easy to work with. He was always quick to respond whenever we had questions, and stayed on top of the many details involved in both of the transactions. Steve did an excellent job pricing the house we sold, and helped us negotiate a great deal for the house we purchased. We highly recommend Steve!
2018
Kyle, a buyer from Burke, VA
My wife and I recently purchased our first home together and we couldn't be happier with our new home and our experience working with Steve. We bought during a competitive spring market and Steve helped us see several properties and get the house we wanted. In short, he was friendly, professional, honest, and dedicated; everything you want in a realtor.
2018
Beth, a buyer from Arlington, VA
Steve was great in letting me search at my own pace to find the right property. The buying process was simple and easy. He kept me updated with each step towards closing and quickly resolved any issues that arose. I would recommend him to anyone in the Northern Virginia area. He was courteous and professional. I hope he is still in the business whenever I decide to sell or look for another property.
2018
Andrew.C, a seller from Arlington, VA
Steve is an exceptional realtor and calmly guided us through the process of selling our condo. He had great ideas and brought in expert support to advise on how to ready our condo for resale without breaking our bank. He went above and beyond for us and in the end we had multiple offers after only 4 days on the market! The top offer exceeded our asking price by $15k and settled within a month. Great results and we couldn't be happier with all the effort Steve invested in us. We will work with Steve again!
2018
Dan, a seller from Reston, VA
Our experience with our realtor Steve Michaels, Keller Williams, was excellent. From the beginning, Steve showed his experience in taking care of all the details. He was quick to respond to any of our questions and explain the sales process. House sold quickly for full price. We would highly recommend Steve Michaels.
2017
DJS, a buyer from Leesburg, VA
We recently purchased our first home with Steve's help. Steve came highly recommended to us by a coworker, and he certainly exceed our expectations. Steve was a pleasure to work with. He was knowledgeable, made himself available to us, and never seemed bothered by our numerous questions. Within a day or two of meeting with Steve for the first time, he had notified us about a house that was coming on the market which checked almost every box on our wish list. Steve then quickly arranged for us to be the first to view the home that weekend, and then helped us place a bid right away when we fell in love with the house. Steve made sure we were conformable with each step of the process, and took care of all the details from start to finish. As first time homebuyers, this was crucial in decreasing our stress during the whole experience. The next time that we are buying or selling, we will not hesitate to work with Steve again. n-Daniel S

Jared, a buyer from Fairfax, VA
Steve Michaels has been a thorough, helpful, persistent and knowledgeable Realtor who got my Fianc and I into the Condo we wanted. Steve captured my full confidence because he was always available. His ability to stay on top of everything and everyone was the driving force to get us the Condo and deal that we wanted. A short story to give you sense of his character: During our time visiting numerous places in search of our new home, my car was abruptly towed. Not only did Steve drive me to my car, but he took the cost of tow off our final settlement. I would recommend Steve Michaels to my family and friends without hesitation. n nThank you for all of your help, Steve
2017
Sean, a buyer from Clifton, VA
If you are trying to buy or sell your home I highly recommend Steve Michaels and his real estate team. He helped in every aspect of selling my home from prepping advice for staging, to the comps and price that was obtainable for my property. I was able to sell my home in less than a week, and from the day it was on the market he was contacting agents for feedback. I had to purchase my new home with a contingency to sell my current home, which can be tricky. Steve was informative, and usually two steps ahead of any questions that I had. He had a hand in each step and communicated with each person involved in the entire process from agents and loan officers to home inspectors and title agents. I was extremely happy to see him at the table as my wife and I signed for our beautiful new home.
2016
Adam & Mandi, a buyer from Falls Church, VA
We are so fortunate to have picked Steve as our realtor! We went to an Open House with no expectation of purchasing a home that night - we didn't even have a realtor yet. After searching reviews of local realtors after we saw the house, we chose Steve and are so thankful we did. We called him on a Sunday and explained that we just saw a house and needed to put an offer in asap. We were also first-time home buyers and had no clue what we were doing. Not only did he take our call while he was in Vegas for the weekend, but he quickly helped us discuss our offer and all of the terms involved. There was a bidding war involved, but he was able to close the deal the next day on the plane back from his trip - amazing! Another great thing is we were able to do almost everything electronically, which was key in our situation. From there, Steve oversaw the entire process from inspection to closing, and was sure we knew what to expect. He is always quick to respond on email and phone, so easy to work with, and just an all around great guy! No need to look any further - Steve is the best! - Adam & Mandi
2017
Chris & Erin, a buyer from Reston, VA
Steve is a wonder. This was our first home buying experience and he made it as painless as I can imagine is possible. His input on homes was always helpful without being discouraging. His recommended service providers were all excellent and he always made it explicit that they were just his suggestions and we were free to use our own. He put up with a lot of junk from us and our financing provider and always with a remarkable professionalism. We will (and have) recommended him to friends who also had a fantastic experience and you can bet we will be turning to Steve again when we are ready to upgrade.
2017
Travis, a buyer from Falls Church, VA
As a first time homebuyer, finding Steve was the best thing I could have done. He patiently walked me through the whole process, quickly responded to all my questions, and gave me honest and direct feedback. Most importantly, he genuinely cared about us along the way - even after the purchase he's remained to be incredibly helpful and responsive. His knowledge of the market and attention to detail allowed me to find and buy a home I love. Steve made a stressful process easy, I can't recommend him enough!
2017
Kyle, a seller from Washington, DC
Steve was an excellent person to work with throughout the process of selling our first home. He was prompt and organized, which was helpful in setting a timeline, scheduling contractors, and researching the market to determine an appropriate list price. Once listed he made himself available whenever we had a question, scheduled open houses, and coordinated feedback and questions from prospective buyers. It was a big stress relief to know he was on top of everything and was there to guide us through the process. Our house sold faster than expected at the price we hoped for so we are really pleased with the outcome and thankful we had Steve on our side.
2017
John the Architect, a buyer from Linden, VA
Steve patiently showed me houses and chased answers to my questions to only have me to reject properties. He continued to help show me properties I found and even went to look at other properties to help me be sure of my purchase. He then guided me through the purchase process.
2017
Matt L, a buyer from Springfield, VA
Being first time homebuyers, we were not entirely certain what we wanted, but we knew that we needed someone who could listen to our preferences, show us our options, and be honest about what we could accomplish with our budget. Steve was exactly that. Steve patiently showed us homes we may be interested in, clearly showing he had listened to our preferences and budget, and never once pressured us into buying something we didn't feel certain about or couldn't afford. n nWhen it came down to making offers on homes, Steve would be direct and honest about how likely a certain offer might be accepted, and fought for us once we put an offer down. Once we had an accepted offer, he worked with us daily to ensure we got our loan accepted, we got the best inspection possible, and that we closed on time. n nSteve is meticulous, professional, and knowledgeable about every aspect of the business. We couldn't recommend him more.

Chalinee the first time buyer, a buyer from Washington DC, DC
Steve was recommended to us by a friend. Having Steve's experience in real estate was invaluable to us as we were looking for our first home. He was responsive, thorough, and helped walk us through the process. Steve's knowledge of the market even helped us secure a great price on our new home. If you're looking for a great agent who'll give you good input and work for you, then you've found the guy.

Working with Steve was a great experience. He was patient with us until we found our forever home, which he helped us negotiate down to a lower price than we thought we could get it for. I highly recommend working with Steve to make your dream home a reality.

We spoke to several real estate agents before selecting Steve and are happy with our decision. He was attentive and easy to work with from the first phone call to the closing table. He is knowledgeable, quick to respond, offered good advice, organized showings well and neven helped us contact contractors to get our house ready. I would definitely recommend Steve to friends, family or anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Andrew, a seller from Vienna, VA
We planned to meet a few realtors to begin our process of listing our house and purchasing a new one. But after meeting Steve first we didn't see the need. After a staging consultation and professional pictures we spent all of 1 day on market and sold at full list price in 30 days. When it was our turn to buy Steve helped us evaluate what was a fair price and made sure we were doing the best we could do.

Steve helped me buy and sell this property. He is well versed in the NOVA area. He included a photo session and open house, negotiated hard for a top dollar price and was quick to answer with my questions and concerns. I highly recommend him.

Steve was on the ball from listing to closing. If I'm ever involved in the N. Virginia residential real estate market again, I won't have to spend time shopping around for a good agent. There can be only one. Steve Michaels.

I've dealt with 4 other realtors before in the past years and Steve has been the only one to exceed my expectations, quantitatively. Working within tight timelines and difficult circumstances, Steve was able to produce results that exceeded my expectations. n nI'll definitely be reaching back out to Steve for future real estate endeavors. n nThanks Steve!
