Steve Brauer has been working in real estate since 2005. Those years of experience give him a full understanding of the housing market, as well as the needs and wants of his clients. With a BA in Math from the University of Delaware (where he met wife Katie), his expertise lies in numbers and problem solving. He values the knowledge he has gained over the past decade and enjoys sharing his knowledge with buyers and sellers as well as new agents. Steve is a leader. Whether it be making major decisions at work, on the court or baseball diamond, or volunteering on local boards, he has a no-nonsense way that quickly gets to the root of the issue at hand and thinks creatively to work on a solution. Steve is dedicated not only to work but also to spending time with Katie and their son, Beau. He’s already planning trips to watch Beau swim at Occidental College in California.

Steve has lived all over the United States but North Carolina seems to have always been his future. Traveling through North Carolina when Steve was 9, he said to his parents that it was such a beautiful state he wanted to live here when he grew up. Clearly brilliant even then, as this area is a great place to live with its natural beauty, change of seasons and mild winters. And then there’s college basketball! Steve believes there can’t possibly be a better place to live if you’re a fan.

I owned a condo in the Carrboro area but had moved out of state several years ago. When we decided it was time to sell, Steve was recommended to us. Steve was communicative and clear throughout the process, facilitated the process of getting our unit ready to put on the market, helped us navigate property sales during a global pandemic, and helped us weather some ups and downs in our sales process as we moved towards closing. We did all of this without having to travel back to NC. I would recommend Steve and his team for anyone selling in the Triangle area.

Katie and Steve have been incredible to work with as we searched for a new home in Chapel Hill! Since we are relocating from out of town, it was great to have a team that was familiar with the area and able to advise us on neighborhoods, schools, and other home-buying info unique to CH. Katie held our hand throughout the entire process and was easy to reach at all hours! As first-time home buyers, we had tons of questions, and Katie was patient with us throughout the process.

One of the most valued aspects of Steve's expertise is his knowledge about housing construction and value. He was able to point out significant strengths and problems with houses we looked at that helped keep our search focused on high-quality properties. He is very pragmatic.

Katie and Steve are the best! As evidence of my positive recommendation, my wife and I have hired them 3 times in the last few years: twice in selling and once in buying. In each case, their expertise and savvy gave us ease. Especially in our last deal, selling a >$1M listing, they were so smart in staging, pricing, and negotiating to a relatively quick sale, even in a slow market. With Katie's and Steve's heads together, their wisdom is clearly multiplied! It has been a personal pleasure to work with them, always responsive and even preemptive to ensure a smooth process. I wholly recommend and would call on them again myself, without hesitation. Katie and Steve are the best!

Katie Taylor was exactly what we needed when deciding on a home in the Durham/Chapel Hill area. She was knowledgeable, calm and seemed to add just the right ingredients of wisdom, clarity and efficiency.
Katie anticipated many of our concerns and questions. She listened and processed quickly. Her poise and preparation structured our search. We felt as though the experience was quite thorough.

Steve and Katie were a reliable and competent team throughout the process of selling our home. We felt well prepared and supported every step along the way from getting our house ready for sale to closing. We especially appreciated their rapid response and encouragement when needed to solve problems or get advice. We feel fortunate to have worked with these kind and caring professionals to sell our home.

Steve and Katie are a fantastic team! They helped us both list and sell our home as well as buy a new one. They gave us great advice on preparing our current home for listing and we ended up selling after two days with multiple offers. They also helped us find a new home. They were super responsive when it came to showing us houses and helped us find and negotiate a house that worked great for us. They even helped us close on our old house and the new one on the same day. It couldn't have gone much smoother. They were professional and available throughout the process and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them or use them again.

Katie and Steve are two of the finest people I know. They have a way of always bringing positive energy to any situation which makes them a pleasure to work with. They have a great deal of experience in their field and an impressive knowledge of the areas they serve. I wouldn't consider using anybody else for my real estate needs.

Don't look any further...GO WITH KATIE AND STEVE!!!! I had a rather complicated issue: selling a house with an ex-husband. All was not always rosy, but Katie and Steve handled it all with aplomb. They were gracious, considerate, helpful and headed potential difficulties off at the pass. I had not been looking forward to what I considered to be an ordeal with the ex, but Steve & Katie smoothed the way. They are fun, knowledgeable and respectful. I also was attempting to buy a house with their help and was about to go for it when it was highly recommended that I get a radon test, given their knowledge of when radon could be a problem. I chose to follow their advice and radon, at a significant level, was discovered. Had I not been working with them, I would never have spent the extra bucks for this test, but it the end, it saved me not only future dollars, but the health of my family. I will be eternally grateful for their insight and expertise. I recommend Steve & Katie without hesitation and with much respect.

Katie and Steve were such pleasure to work with and made buying our first home an enjoyable experience. My wife and I had been looking to buy a house for about one year prior to meeting Katie and Steve, and we could not really find what we were looking for in a home. Katie and Steve introduced us to multiple locations in Chapel Hill that we were unaware of. They were both willing to not only show us several homes in a single day, but were willing to cater to difficult schedule times for both myself and my wife, and also return to see the same home on multiple occasions. They have a great knowledge of the market in the area, and know what to look for when inspecting and evaluating value in a home. They provided us with great advice during the negotiation process and were always giving us honest and trustworthy opinions. My wife and I will rely on their services when buying and selling our home in the future, and have referred our friends to them for real estate services.

I was a nervous and excited first-time home buyer. Steve and Katie were great listeners, and really helped me hone down what were the important elements in a home for me. They presented a variety of choices in home possibilities that emphasized the strong points in my desire, while being sensitive and realistic within my budget. I always felt they were honest in presenting the strengths and challenges of each home we visited. They guided me through the negotiations, keeping me calm and giving great advice in a novel and somewhat intimidating process. I ended up with a beautiful home I love dearly. I have recommended them to any friends I have had looking to purchase or sell their home, and will use their services again when I am next in the market.
