As a result, we had over 30 showings in less than two days and our house sold for well-beyond our asking price.

It is clear that Steve loves what he does and is a specialist in his field. His thorough research and presentation of my mom's home got her top dollar with a short closing, exactly what we were after. The house sold in one day. Steve Augustine is exceptional.

"In the end, in the price range we sold our house, the average days on market were around 120+ and there were a handful of homes in this range that weren’t selling. Well we had two viewings within the first 2 days and an offer and our home was sold within a week. There is no doubt in our minds that it was because of all the hard work from the Augustine team. Each and everyone of them are incredibly professional, friendly, and talented at what they do. We cannot say enough about what a wonderful experience this was."

Nat P
"We were referred to Steve Augustine through our financial advisor. My husband & I were hesitant to call him for an evaluation on our home because we had already decided to list through another agent, even though no agreement had been signed yet. After meeting with Steve in our home, we knew he was the right agent for us. Through every step of the process, Steve and his entire team were very professional, super organized, incredibly knowledgeable and extremely helpful (and patient). If you’re looking for someone dependable who can sell your biggest investment for the best price in the shortest amount of time, you need to check out Steve Augustine and his amazing team!"
Mandi N

Danielle F
"I have bought and sold several homes and cottages and have never had the pleasure of dealing with someone of Steve's caliber. He was so much more than a real estate agent and went way above the normal standards I've experienced and truly exceeded my expectations. His knowledge of the market, access to so many resources, professionalism, integrity and a hands on approach, made selling this home so easy for me. When I met his associate, Tom, I wasn't surprised to find that he shared the same values and customer focus as Steve and possessed his own set of special skills as a result of his background in building. A great team and one that I would highly recommend to anyone."
Barb D
"We are so pleased we choose The Augustine Team to sell our house. Steve was so helpful from our first phone call and with everything along the way and we actually sold before going onto the market.

"We had an extremely positive experience working with The Augustine Team. Everything wowed us including the staging, the photos, and the strategy and techniques used to sell our home for the most money possible. Communication was great, with The Team only being a quick text away. They put the time in.. including coming to our home months before selling to offer advice on final reno projects to complete. We recommend The Augustine Team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Niagara region."
Rebecca K
"I couldn't believe how quickly the whole process went. Dagmar represented us as the buyers, and Steve represented the sellers. Totally transparent in the paperwork and every detail on the contracts with regards to what we (or the sellers) we asking. We enjoyed working with Dagmar so much that we used her to sell our house as well! She gave us a short presentation on why she and the Augustine team are so amazing and she wasn't wrong! She got us 71K over asking price and fought for the buyers to pay out the furnace and AC. Couldn't have asked for anything better."
Melissa T
"I can't say enough about our experience dealing with Steve. The amount of knowledge Steve has when it comes to real estate is second to none. He uses his expertise to help you find the perfect property you are looking for, which to me was so important as this will be the biggest investment we will ever make. He made the whole process stress free and was able to answer any questions we had, anytime of the day. I feel a lot of agents are out for the quick sale, but never once did I feel that way about Steve. THANK-YOU!!!!"
Chris R
"I just sold my home with Steve's very competent help and advice, and then bought another. I couldn't have done any of this without Steve. He is professional, knowledgeable, and has amazing instincts. Above all, he is the essence of kindness. If you need a realtor...get Steve and his team!"
