We had the absolute pleasure of working with Stephen Snee of Keller Williams Realty to purchase our first home in West Seattle. As first-time homebuyers with a tight deadline and very specific needs regarding layout and location, all while aiming for a sharp price, we knew we had a challenging task ahead of us. Stephen exceeded our expectations in every way. Stephen's communication was outstanding; he was always available to answer our numerous questions and kept us informed throughout the entire process. He demonstrated incredible patience, especially during the often-stressful closing process with the sellers, ensuring we felt comfortable and supported every step of the way. What truly set Stephen apart was his ability to secure us an amazing deal. He skillfully negotiated seller credits and had our closing costs covered, which was a significant financial benefit.

What truly set Stephen apart was his ability to secure us an amazing deal. He skillfully negotiated seller credits and had our closing costs covered, which was a significant financial benefit. His Seattle market knowledge and negotiation skills are truly top-notch. We wholeheartedly recommend Stephen Snee to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Seattle area. His dedication, expertise, and friendly demeanor made our first home buying experience a truly positive one!
Seriously, if you're thinking about buying or selling in Seattle, skip the Zillow/Redfin roulette and call Stephen. We were actually considering going that route, thinking it would be easy enough and more cost effective, but Stephen blew those basic agents out of the water. He got us way more than any algorithm or online platform ever could. He just gets the Seattle market, even our home inspector was mentioning to me privately about how knowledgeable and in-tune Stephen was. And when it came to negotiating? Forget about it. Stephen is a true Pro. He crafted a killer deal for us, super competitive, but without putting us at any risk. He knew exactly how to play it. Bottom line: Stephen is the real deal. He's professional, responsive, he's smart, and he'll fight for you. If you want a realtor who's gonna go above and beyond, he's your guy.
I am truly thankful for Stephen's guidance in helping me purchase my home. Specifically, Stephen encouraged me to be patient in waiting for the right property to come up, which I'm extremely grateful for as we ended up buying a very nice property at a pretty nice discount (seller was motivated and needed to exit). Very thankful I did not end up going with the first couple properties we saw earlier on in our visits! I would recommend Stephen to anyone who's interested in buying a house - both first time homeowners and experienced buyers. Stephen has a wealth of knowledge about the intangibles of what will make home appealing to future buyers, across different neighborhoods all throughout Seattle. As long as I'm in Seattle, I won't be using anyone else for my Real Estate needs. As far as the buying process and the paperwork - it was a piece of cake. Stephen has a a trusted team he has work…

Stephen has a a trusted team he has worked with over the years and with everyone's help, we were able to close in 2 and half weeks which is pretty incredible. No stress at all throughout the transaction. Oh and almost forgot to mention - Stephen got me somewhere around $5K back in closing costs, which was very appreciated! Really appreciate all the hard work Stephen!
I recommend Stephen to everyone I know who's looking to purchase a home in the Seattle area. He makes the home buyer experience fun and rewarding (there's a reason he has all five star reviews!) His attention to detail during showings was impressive - he spotted defects that I would never have seen on my own, and I appreciate his honesty and the fact that he wasn't afraid to show them to me even if I was in love with a property. Throughout the process my wife and I could tell he wasn't just looking for a quick sale, he was motivated to get us into a home that we both loved. We could tell he was looking out for our best interest (we ended up finding a home we both love and are very happy with!), not to mention he was fun to be around - he made the whole buying process extremely easy.
