Recommending Steve Bingham to someone looking for a realtor is the easiest advice I can give.
Over the past five years Steve has helped my family find three homes - twice as renters and once as a buyer. I can't say enough good things about him. Professionally, he knows the Northern Virginia market very well. He does his homework, provides excellent advice, and helped us with several negotiations. He has keen eye when judging a property. I also admire his ethics. More than once as we looked at homes to buy, he gave us honest assessments and helped us keep our enthusiasm in check. When we intentionally made offers on the high side, he made sure they were ambitious, not foolish.
But what really sets Steve apart is the relationship he built with us, from beginning to end. With our first rental home, he quickly got a feel for what we wanted and needed. He did not waste our time showing us properties that wouldn't work for our family (and with three kids, two cats, and a dog that wasn't easy as we weren't attractive renters). After we closed on the home we purchased and moved in, we had an extreme difficulty with our former landlord - a new and stressful experience for us. Even though realtors don't deal with such problems (and his job was done), Steve personally connected me to a colleague who did and together they were able to get me up to speed on what I needed to know. Additionally, Steve was extremely helpful in our negotiating a conclusion to that ordeal. This was extraordinary service.
In short, Steve gives his clients personal attention and service, while being able to leverage the knowledge and resources of a large firm. I wholeheartedly recommend working with Steve to find a home to rent or buy. read more
