There is nothing better than receiving sincere thanks from my clients for a job well done. Some of my clients have shared their thoughts with you below.
Thank you for your submission!
Steve always goes above and beyond to help me out - whether it's an early phone call on the weekend because I'm locked out, or helping me find a mover, he always does what he can to lend a hand. For someone moving to a new city, it helps to feel like you've got someone on your side and that, for me, was Steve. Thank you!
Stephen could not have been more caring and helpful in my quest for a new home. He was so available to me whenever I had questions. It took us a few months, to find just the right home..but now I have the perfect home for me. He even pulled me out of my comfort zone, looking at homes he wanted me to consider, for architectural design etc. (or over my budget...just to see). It was well worth the wait; I have the perfect home on the perfect street. Thanks to the " Perfect Realtor"; Stephen Raffaelli.
Steve is simply fabulous! He is the epitome of the perfect real estate consultant: detail oriented, exceptional client care, and in depth knowledge of the local real estate market.
An incredible mind for both buyers and sellers. Researches not only the neighborhood but surrounding neighborhoods for comparable listings and always get the sellers price +. Spares no expense in getting the houses exposed to potential buyers. The most determined agent I've ever worked with.
Steve has great knowledge of the area, truly listens to what his clients want and works tirelessly to find them that hidden gem. Like
I have never used a realtor before but Stephen made the experience seemless and understandable for the lay person such as myself. He is located in Souther Virginia and came/drove all the way up to Baltimore 3 months ago when I moved to meet me and show me multiple places as I had a short time to move and start work. He went out of his way also to tell me the best places to eat in the area and still continues to help me today when I reach out to him with questions about my current living situation etc... Like
My husband and I were first time home buyers. I was anxious about contacting a Real Estate Agent, there are so many companies and we were new to the area due to my husband being in the ARMY. We have moved all over the place just like many Military families do. Alaska, South Korea, Washington, Florida and South Korea (again) and now our last stop Virginia. We did not have knowledge of the area let alone the real estate market. Before my husband joined the ARMY, I had worked in a real estate office for 12 years and understand how competitive and eager Real Estate Agents can be. A dear family friend who is a licensed Broker in Southern California referred Mr. Stephen A. Raffaelli, Jr. From the first moment we spoke on the phone we had a great rapport. Stephen listened and heard what we were looking for. He was extremely knowledgeable of many areas, and homes, but he knew exactly what we were looking for after we discussed our likes, dislikes and wants. Stephen found our forever home on our first day out looking, and it was only the 2nd house we saw. He was comforting and kept us in the loop once we put the offer in and the countering began. He countered in our best interest, explaining how and what he would counter, but only after he would ask us what we wanted to do, which; was extremely reassuring that we had ourselves an AWESOME Real Estate Agent. Not only did we have a smooth escrow, due to Stephens updates and explanation of anything that came up, we ended up with a great interest rate due to a special that Stephen informed us about. All we had to do was ask our lender whether we qualified or not. Stephen’s great personality and real estate knowledge was what made our home buying experience so much more exciting and quite frankly not as stressful as I had anticipated. He also included my children as much as possible which was extremely sweet. I have recommended Stephen to other Military families and will continue to do so. I would also like to add that he never made it seem like we were a job or a bother and believe me I know I can be when I am stressed. I can’t say it enough but Stephens personality and knowledge made this an enjoyable process. Mr. Stephen A. Raffaelli, Jr. should give a seminar to other agents on how to be kind, positive and knowledgeable. His approach to communicating and understanding the needs of his clients and the way he was able to calm my anxiety by explaining in detail what exactly what was going on was just excellent. We recommend Stephen A. Raffaelli, Jr. for anyone one looking for an AWESOME AGENT!
Had a great experience working with Mr. Raffaelli. His knowledge of the area and expertise in real estate was a huge help during our home search. We couldn't have been happier with our decision to use Mr. Raffaelli's services.
Stephen does a great job matching buyers and tenants to their ideal homes. He is friendly and fun to work with.
As a real estate Broker and owner of an office I expect the clients I refer to another agent to receive exceptional service. This is even more important when the client is a close personal friend. This was the case with a buyer, who is like a daughter to me and who's husband is in the Army (as is my son). I made contact with Stephen Raffaelli. Stephen is a true real estate professional. He quickly found the buyer's a home they loved and negotiated a great deal. He was with them every step of the way, making sure all inspections were completed and all issues were resolved by the seller. He arranged for the seller to credit buyer with an increased credit towards closing costs and found a special program saving them additional money on the loan. I could go on and on, but suffice it to say the family is extremely satisfied with the way Stephen handled the transaction and are now happy home owners. That makes me a happy Broker who will have no hesitation in referring future clients to Stephen Raffaelli.
