As an agent who's an expert in this local area, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise about buying and selling real estate here. It's not the same everywhere, so you need someone you can trust for up-to-date information. I am eager to serve you. Here are some of the things I can do for you: I have SOLD hundreds of homes in the past few years for many Banks like Fannie Mae, JP Morgan-Chase, Wells Fargo, VA etc and it has allowed me to become an expert at valuing properties to sell and also seeing any potential issues that might hinder a sale.

Find Your Next Home
You need someone who knows this area inside and out! I can work with you to find the right home at the right price for you, including all the neighborhood amenities that matter - not to mention the essential criteria you have for your ideal home
Sell a Home
When it's time to move, you need someone who will advertise your home, show to prospective buyers, negotiate the purchase contract, arrange financing, oversee the inspections, handle all necessary paperwork and supervise the closing. I can take care of everything you need, from start to close.
Consult on Home Selling Tactics
Oftentimes buyers don't visualize living in your home the way you do. I can make your home attractive to its ideal audience - which can help you get top dollar. Things like staging the home, making repairs or minor improvements, or even simply painting the walls can be the difference between a home resting on the market and one that's sold fast.

-Dennis Callahan, Client
"Steve had very good knowledge of the area and the market. He was able to suggest a perfect price and we sold the house in 3 days. He was always available for questions and was with us right through the closing. I would use him again and suggest that you give him a call"
-Frank, Client
"Steve was fantastic. His turnaround time with emails and phone calls is second to none. The first time i left a message for him, he called back within minutes with answers to my questions. I hadn't even spoken to the guy. Nothing but the highest praise for Steve as an agent and individual. Great personality, sense of humor, and candor. If the time comes to sell a home, Steve is the only real estate agen"
-Chris B, Client
"Stephen helped my wife and I buy our first home in Holyoke, MA. Following an experience with an agent who was not a good fit for us, we found Stephen via the Zillow reviews. Our home search became much more manageable with Stephen, and he was great about explaining things to us as we went. As first-time buyers, we had plenty of questions. Once we found a place we liked, he walked us through the offer and inspection, and got us a fair price. His no-game-playing philosophy for making offers fit well with our style. Overall, Stephen was a joy to work with; calm, fair, and knowledgeable. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. I wish we'd worked with him from the start"
