"Truly the best buying/selling experience we’ve had! We have worked with a couple other realtors and the level of excellence that Steve and his team delivered can’t be matched! Throughout our selling experience I felt as though every choice we made with Steve was intentional. He was honest, kind, thorough and so professional. He fought for us! When buying our new house and viewing so many, we always felt looked after. The team was very attentive and Steve and Tom made the experience enjoyable instead of tasking. I would recommend the Steve Augustine team to everyone, hands down!"

"We recently sold a home with Andrew Hildebrand from the Augustine Team. Andrew met with my wife and me to discuss our needs in advance and helped us work through a plan to get the home on the market. He had a strong knowledge of the market and provided a clear strategy to market and sell the home. I was impressed with his communication throughout the entire process; from the first meeting until the final sale. He kept in constant communication via phone, text, or video messages. He advocated strongly on our behalf in the negotiations. The pictures and virtual staging helped the home showcase its best features. I would recommend Andrew and the team here. You won’t regret your decision to give Andrew a call and let him lead you through this process."

You'll be glad you did!"

"Steve and his whole team are so skilled and professional in their work. When Steve sold our home, he put us at ease from the outset. He gave us an overview of his sales process and then talked us through what we needed to do to get our home ready. Our home was beautifully staged and photographed - and it never looked better! As a result, we had over 30 showings in less than two days and our house sold for well-beyond our asking price. When we purchased our new home, we benefited from Tom's expertise in making the right offer, without any haggling or frustration. We could not have asked for a better home buying and home selling experience. Thanks guys!"
