Steven Hill

What do Clients Say?

SOLD WELL OVER LIST PRICE:We first used Steven when we were looking for our first home, after having an uninspiring showing with a different realtor. During our first meeting, we knew right away that Steven was a man who had our best interest at heart. Right or wrong, this wasn’t something I was expecting from a realtor. After going through several different homes, we found one that was perfect in every way, except for the price. I still don’t know how he did it, but he got the seller’s down to a price that we were comfortable with and we’ve spent almost 7 great years in this house. Fast forward to today, with a bigger family now, we’re looking at something that can comfortably accommodate all of us. There was never any question who we would use as our realtor. Steven came in and made the whole process so easy. And just like the first time with this house, we’re still not sure how, but he had it sold within three days at 11k over list price, dealing with three competing offers. As we now take the next step and search for what we’re calling our ‘forever home’, Steven continues to impress with his professionalism and knowledge. There’s nobody we’d rather have in our corner, making one of the biggest purchases we’ll ever make, than Steven.We’re very fortunate to not only be able to call Steven our realtor, but also our friend!

IMPORTANT ELEMENTS REQUIRED FOR A SALE:It has been a pleasure having Steven Hill on our "team" during the process of selling two different homes over the last 4 years. The first home we sold, a condo, was not an easy sell. Steven really helped to keep us calm and helped us navigate the uncertainty of the sale. His positive attitude and no quit work ethic ensured that our condo eventually sold and that we walked away happy customers.Since Steven joined Sotheby's International Realty Canada, his arsenal of selling tactics has increased. The photographer made our home look immaculate in the brochures, the measuring team made us feel comfortable that we were listing our house correctly, and the sign on our front lawn with the QR code for quick information was an added feature.When it came to selling our second home, a town home, we knew from the start we wanted to work with Steven again. We had a fairly unique request for Steven, in that we needed him to sell our home over 100 days from possession and while we were out of the city. Steven jumped at the challenge and not only met our expectations but exceeded them when our house conditionally sold in 8 days and closed shortly after that. Steven was equipped with the technology to allow us to virtually sign all the documents so we didn't need to worry while on holidays. Steven used his market expertise and hard negotiating skills to secure a quick sale at 97% of list price and a favourable possession date.Thank you for your support and for making this life transition such an easy one!

RECENT SALE OVER LIST PRICE:We initially chose Steven as our Realtor based on his Certifications and long term sales achievements. During our meetings Steven provided us with professionalism, knowledge, availability, patience, and honesty. His media presentation was both professional and impressive. Steven was considerate of our needs and provided dedication and guidance in every aspect of the residential home selling process. Our house was listed on the market on a Thursday morning mid December. Steven joked he would have it sold by the weekend and scheduled an open house. He sold our house on the same day, $2000.00 over our list price. In such a difficult market that is remarkable! We are pleased to recommend Steven without any hesitation and would like to work with him in the future regarding our real estate needs.

STANDING OUT ABOVE THE REST:With so many realtors in Calgary, the task of choosing one to represent us was daunting. When we looked through hundreds of realtor pages, Steven's credentials, achievements, and accolades stood out above the rest. We had to find a place within 2 months and knew that finding the right realtor would be crucial in expediting the process. Having his Condominium Specialist certificate was extremely helpful since this was our first time purchasing a high rise condo. Steven was very knowledgeable and detail oriented. He answered our questions and addressed our concerns with patience in a very timely manner. He helped us find the right condo in 3 weeks! Steven is also a very great negotiator in addition to everything else. The closing price we paid for the condo was unbelievable! It definitely exceeded our expectations!Purchasing a property can be a stressful process, but having Steven there in every step of the way really made the experience painless and enjoyable. We are very happy with the excellent service he provided! Again, many thanks to you Steven!Your complete professionalism, expertise, customer focus and negotiation skills are very much appreciated and highly recommended!

REMARKABLE STORY:We were referred to Steven Hill through my mother-in-law who had nothing but positives to say about her experience with Steven and without hesitation I would wholeheartedly agree. My wife and I feel extremely lucky that we had Steven Hill's expertise and knowledge to apply to what ended up being a very intricate process that was buying a home before selling our house. The fact that everything worked out so perfectly is seriously nothing short of amazing on Steven's behalf. It's currently a pretty tough market for anyone to sell their home but especially with the type of restrictions we placed onto Steven in terms of openly admitting to a backyard structural issue, seriously if not for the very smart advice and strategy Steven came up with, i honestly don't believe any other realtor could have sold our house in the short amount of time Steven was able to do so. We always appreciated how organized and professional Steven was while consistently being extremely attentive by always making time for us, replying to our calls, emails and texts and making us feel we were his only clients. It was awe inspiring how quickly Steven would follow up with feedback from prospective buyers and turn it into a positive as we never felt discouraged or weren’t sure of the next step he was going to take. Steven was always happy to explain and provide encouragement while it was clearly obvious how well he understood the Calgary market, and we benefited from that knowledge in all aspect of our sale and purchase.When it came time to buy a house we had very specific parameters which did not make it easy but with the help of Sotheby's daily market watch emails in which Steven set up plus his dedication to finding us a new home, we never felt it wasn't possible. The fact that Steven was able to purchase our home under a sale-of-buyers-home-condition, with the seller agreeing to well under their asking price and with a 72 hour closing window was completely brilliant and we will feel forever indebted to him. We both felt throughout this process that Steven always wanted the best for us and was there to represent our interests, we trusted him implicitly, and that was more than earned. I can’t say enough about the expertise, attentiveness, warmth and professionalism Steven Hill brought to this process. Thanks to him, we were able to sell our home within an astounding 20 days especially when considering the market has an oversupply of inventory and an under supply of buyers. After our first deal fell through, thanks to Steven we successfully received a new offer the very next day and again for 99% of list price which made us so exceedingly grateful. During the time of our second buyers conditions, our first buyers came back after being able to secure their previously unsuccessful financing and was going to wait to see if our now current offer would fall through but Steven actually managed to convince them to write an unconditional backup offer, which turned out to be a massive benefit to us in closing our then current deal. Through having to juggle possession dates, amending contracts to ensure full security with certain specific details, Steven Hill managed to bring it all together with ease. Thanks to Steven we sold our house and now have our “forever home” in an up-and-coming neighborhood, we can’t wait to move in and start the next chapter of our lives. We are very glad we got to work with Steven and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him!
