Steven Shelton

We used Steve in 2 transactions this year: to buy a house and to sell a house, in two different Seattle neighborhoods. It took us >1 year to of looking in the 98118/98108 area code before we finally succeeded. Steve was our very patient Sherpa during the entire process. His knowledge of Columbia City is unparalleled! He was patient, responsive, supportive and encouragingly optimistic. We especially appreciated his construction knowledge and industry/vendor contacts (Steve has a side business fixing up houses to re-sell) - he pointed out nuances and provided tips spotting potential issues, which, were immensely help, even though we’re pretty experienced) Our experience using Steve to sell our house had a few sub-optimal moments but he more than made up for them with above-and-beyond mitigations after the fact (big thumbs up for acknowledging and apologizing too!). He put in elbow grease to make up for a couple of vendor shortcomings, such as: 1) Hiring and paying for another landscaper to rectify some mistakes made by the original landscaper he recommended; and 2) Coming by the house with his vacuum a couple of days before closing to clean up some debris left behind by the stager! If you want an honest, knowledgeable realtor who will work hard and represent your best interests, someone who has a big heart and a positive attitude, and who takes responsibility for his actions, Steve’s your man! Highly recommended.

Steve is an all-star. Communication was constant and supportive. We could not have gotten through everything so smoothly without him. We don't plan to EVER move again, but if we do, Steve is the only one we'll call.

As first time homebuyers, we weren’t sure what to expect from an agent. Steven guided us through the process seamlessly, offering expert advice every step of the way. He is highly communicative, always quick to follow up whenever something needed attention. Beyond that, he’s well connected and can recommend trusted professionals whether it’s an inspector, repair specialist, or another resource. We would wholeheartedly recommend Steven to anyone looking to buy or sell a home, especially in the Columbia City area.

Steven was by far one of the most attentive, professional and kind brokers I have worked with. His expertise ensured a positive outcome even though I wasn’t the easiest client, and I was very impressed with his negotiating.
