"We were very fortunate to have met Steve 13 years ago at an open house. We immediately found him very knowledgeable and personable, with a keen understanding of the real estate market. We subsequently chose him as our realtor and ended up with a great deal on a lovely home! Thankfully, we kept in touch with each other over the years and contracted him to sell the same home this winter. This time around we were in a unique situation where we were moving overseas and had to leave Steve to prep the house, stage it and sell it in our absence. He did an absolutely phenomenal job! Despite the unusual circumstances, he made it relatively easy for us, calmed all of our concerns, and kept us up to date throughout the entire process. Without reservation Steve is a realtor par excellence who works with integrity and efficiency, and we have gained a friend in the process." -Jeffrey C.

"Steve was recommended to me and my spouse as a topnotch realtor consultant with expertise in DC–MoCo. That reco was right on, as Steve was swift, responsive, and super professional in helping us find just the right property. As someone new to the area his insight and experience proved invaluable. If you need a realtor with deep knowledge of Montgomery County, give Steve a call." -Daniel S.

"Steve Baumgartner was our realtor for selling our condo. We didn’t have a large amount of knowledge on real estate and working with him made the process smooth and simple. He was personable, professional, and knew his market. Most importantly, he helped us do an accurate market analysis, reach out to reliable local contractors, and professionally stage/market our home. Lastly, he was realistic with our financial goals, but was very quick to adapt to market fluctuations to get us the most advantageous offers. Overall, I felt confident in his ability to sell my home at the best price for us. I would definitely recommend Steve to my family and friends!"

"We lived in our first house for over 25 years, so we had no idea how to sell, buy, and move across the country in this market. Steve led us step-by-step through the process, and he went above and beyond helping us choose a new house and creating a competitive offer. He is extremely responsive and patient. I could not recommend him more!" -Rob D.
★★★★★
"Steve provided excellent advice and was on top of all details. He clearly explained how the Compass system works. Steve guided us and provided the perfect schedule from moving out, staging and open house. We trusted him entirely and even though we moved out of the area he communicated daily throughout the whole process. Steve is very knowledgeable about the housing market and we highly recommend him. We are very satisfied with the excellent support we received." -Lilian C.

"It's a crazy seller's market out there, but by working with Steve we were able to get an offer accepted after just a month of looking. He is knowledgable, well-connected, friendly, and (important to me) low pressure. He made sure we had the info we needed, and were comfortable (as much as you can be in this market) with the offers we put in (only two, bc the second one was accepted); we always felt in control of the process. Steve is also very friendly and enjoys poking around properties and explaining what everything is and why it might be important to a buyer. I'm a buyer who needs a high throughput of information and Steve and his team delivered. Oh, and his team! He connected us to a local lender that also was key is sealing the deal on the property we bought (like many things, it's all about who you know, and the reputation you have). At any rate, if you're looking for a realtor in MD, I'd highly recommend Steve. We'll definitely reach out to him first for any future real estate endeavors." -Siri H.

"We have bought and sold 2 homes with Steve and will continue to use him. Our neighbors saw how well Steve sold our home and chose him as their seller, sold their home in a week. Now our family chose him as their seller and are currently . Cannot recommend high enough." - Todd
★★★★★
"Steve was absolutely wonderful. As a first time home buyer, he answered all of my questions to my satisfaction, and was always there to consult with me throughout the entire process (touring, offer, counter offer, home inspection, post-inspection negotiations, closing, etc). While the condo I ultimately purchased had a sales price significantly lower than what I believe is typical for Steve, he applied the same effort, diligence, and professionalism with me as he would for a million dollar . I truly appreciate his hard work, and consider him to be my realtor for life (don't die on me Steve!)" - William

"From the time we first met with Steve while contemplating a , thru the process of purchasing a new home (and selling our old one) we were extremely impressed with the knowledge and professionalism that Steve continuously showed.
He returned calls promptly, took charge of the negotiations and went overboard in providing guidance and fix-it help to get us through the buying and selling processes.
We have purchased 5 homes in the area since 1974 and Steve was in a class way above any of the other Realtors."
★★★★★
"Steve not only helped us find our dream home but he also helped us sell our house for top dollar in our neighborhood. He was there to guide us through both transactions and was the consummate professional. He was always available to address and alleviate any of our concerns and he continues to be a resource for any questions we may have. We would not hesitate to recommend him or use him again in the future."
