Steve was a natural from day one in real estate and has enjoyed working with hundreds of buyers and sellers over the years. His calmness under pressure has served him well as an entrepreneur, sports coach and swim official, and especially in real estate. In college he was a teaching assistant for the math department and really loved mentoring, so it was a logical transition when he became Broker in Charge of the Coldwell Banker Advantage Chapel Hill office. There he gets to help newer agents learn the ropes and seasoned agents who run into unusual situations, while continuing his favorite part of the job, working with and representing buyers and sellers. He works with his wife and college sweetheart Katie Taylor, and is always ready to jump in, roll up his sleeves, offer advice and guidance, or put on his headlamp and head into a crawlspace. He brings common sense, an impressive depth of knowledge, quiet confidence, and will diplomatically tell you truth, even if it’s not what you want to hear. You can count on him to be dependable, reliable, and always have your best interest at heart. Outside of work, Steve enjoys early morning walks with his 2 rescue dogs and a strong cup of coffee, heading to the gym, entertaining on the screened porch, or travelling anywhere Katie drags him off to see.
Steve and Katie from Coldwell Banker Advantage are the best. Steve and Katie were the realtors for my daughter and son-in-law when they bought their home. My daughter and son-in-law were so pleased with their help, and loved their home, and loved the dedication Steve and Katie gave to them during the home buying process. Steve and Katie became friends to my family after the purchase of their home, and therefore it was a natural for me to use Steve and Katie, when I entered the home buying process. Steve and Katie are thorough and patient. They answered countless questions, and were supportive whenever I was second guessing my choices. They never pushed, and never made me feel like I was a burden. In fact, they were more concerned that I was making the right decisions for me. Steve and Katie were huge in being there for me once the offer on the home was accepted by the seller, and answered countless questions during the due diligence period, and were super helpful during the mortgage process. I adore them. Their knowledge of the market, the housing industry, inspections, and all details is above and beyond. Most important, they care for their clients, and they become friends with each of us. We are so fortunate to have worked with them, and to have them as friends. You must work with them if you want a home buying process that is caring and helpful from the search to the close. Katie and Steve - best realtors ever!
Katie Taylor was a god-send for us. Her calm but can-do approach guided us through every step of the selling process. From finding excellent service teams on a moments notice to gently staging an empty house to placing small placards pointing out special home features to helping us choose where to put our emphasis, Katie was there with gentle guidance and immediate support. She managed to take a very stressful life event and make it seem easily surmountable! The photos of the property were magnificent. The write ups and brochures were quite well done, featuring the very best of our home. She kept us informed and dropped by the property to check on it on a regular basis. We can't recommend her enough!
Simply great. They delivered 100% on all my objectives: (1) Sell the residence (2) At a good price (3) Reasonably quickly (4) Handle prepping, showing, repairs (5) Advise on offers (6) Make the paperwork easy and (7) Be always calm, cheerful and reassuring throughout a process that is stressful for everyone. Steve and Katie were friendly and attentive, responded quickly, were always reachable, quickly resolved issues (like the buyer being a bit of a jerk), and brought everything to a happy conclusion. I looked at several agents and am very glad I chose them.
We worked with Steve and Katie to buy our house 11 years ago and they were great, so we knew who to call this year when it was time to sell. They make the process so easy! They provide guidance about what repairs to make, how to prep the house for listing, and walk you through every phase of the process. They are always responsive to questions, help with negotiations, and most, importantly, are honest when it comes to setting price and timelines. Whether buying or selling, there is no one else I'd rather work with.
Katie and Steve helped us sell our house and buy a new one several years ago, so when we needed help selling another property, we knew exactly who to call. Katie and Steve are knowledgeable, professional, and genuine. They guided us every step of the way for a seamless process and helped us get a competitive selling price. We were able to sell in no time, thanks to their expertise. They really go above and beyond! We highly recommend Katie and Steve.
Katie guided us through the sale of our house every step of the way. She would promptly answer even the littlest concern. No qualms in recommending her to any buyer or seller.
