Steve Scheppe

Steve is excellent to work with! He is knowledgeable and honest and also funny. He will go the extra mile for you. Without Steve’s guidance we would not have gotten our dream home. He also sold our last house for over asking, in record time! Highly recommend.

I am so happy that I was referred to Steve to help me with the sale of my home. He checks all the boxes and makes it easy to understand the process. His knowledge and recommendations were exactly what I needed to get through a stressful time of letting go of a home with many memories. His response times were also prompt and I was kept well informed. Thank you, Steve!

This is the second time that we have used Viewpoint Realty. Both times Steve made the whole process easy and painless. Our sale went through without a single hitch. I would highly recommend working with Viewpoint Realty.

Steve was an incredible Realtor to work with when selling our house and purchasing our dream home. Steve was quick with his response time, got us in to tour homes on short notice and heard us every step of the way. He truly listened to what we were looking for and provided guidance along the way. Steve is knowledgeable, skillful and an amazing resource - if he didn’t know an answer, he’d find it. I’d highly recommend working with Steve to anyone looking to sell or buy a home.

Steve was great to work with. We have bought and sold a few properties with Steve and have closed on all smoothly within a month. Steve puts a lot of work into ensuring your home will sell. He goes above and beyond. Steve knows the market well and guides his buyers and sellers for the most reasonable offers and can quickly spot where issues may arise. Not only is Steve a great Realtor but also friend and person. If your looking to buy or sell this is the guy.

Working with Steve Scheppe was awesome. He worked tirelessly to find the right house for me. The search was long and had many ups and downs, but Steve was by my side through the entire process. Whenever I had questions or concerns, he would address them quickly. Another thing that has impressed me is that Steve told me that even though the closing was over he will be there for me if I have a question or need advice. If I ever need realty services again, I am calling Steve.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Steve at Viewpoint Realty. He makes the whole process so easy. Steve is a constant professional. He doesn’t let anything bother him and always finds the answer almost before you even know you have a question. Best in the city, best Realtor for Traverse City, wouldn’t go to anyone else ever.

Steve at Viewpoint Realty is my agent of choice ! Steve worked with me for an entire year showing me many properties and listing until the right one finally came along for me to buy my first home. His patience and knowledgeable understanding of the entire process was a huge asset. For any future needs of buying or selling a home I will be lucky to have Steve and his team on my side again.

I hired Steve Scheppe for the sale of a lake front cabin in 2021 and the purchase of a condominium in 2024. The cabin was in excellent condition but did not have modern amenities. There were plentiful showings and an offer I accepted that fell through in September. I had no hesitation to re-hire Steve the following summer of 2022. Again, there was a lot of interest in the property, and an offer that I accepted that closed. Steve was an excellent negotiator and tactful with some compromising issues with this sale. In September of 2024 Steve arranged for me to see three condominiums in one half day. On the same day he wrote an offer for one of these condominiums. I relied on Steve to formulate the offer; the amount, terms, occupancy, and inspection. He assumed a lot of responsibility for me as my primary property is downstate. The offer was accepted and I had occupancy in under a month. When I need representation for any sale or purchase of real estate I will hire Steve with ViewPoint Realty. He is honest, ethical, has superb communication skills and can anticipate potential glitches and be pro-active. All that and he is a genuinely kind family man.

We worked with Steve Scheppe and Viewpoint Realty to find a perfect home for our family during a competitive time in the market with limited inventory. Steve is very knowledgeable about the area, and he helped us find exactly what we were looking for. Throughout the whole process, he was a true professional and a great resource for finalizing the purchase. We would definitely work with him again for any future property needs. Highly recommend Steve and Viewpoint Realty!

Steve is the best. We’ve used him twice now and refer him whenever we can. I wouldn’t want another Realtor.

I cannot recommend Steve and Viewpoint Realty enough. Steve helped us purchase a new home and sell our old home within just a few months. He was so patient with us while we searched for the perfect home for our family. He made sure he walked us through the entire process and answered every question we had. When selling, we waited for the right buyer and we got the price we needed out of it. We would recommend anyone to work with Steve on purchasing or selling a home.

Steve Scheppe was my realtor when I was searching for a house in this area at a time when the market felt very competitive for buyers, and anything desirable would tend to get a lot of interest and offers quickly. He was helpful, pragmatic, quick to respond. He didn’t waste any of my time and totally kept my preferences and budget in mind. I remember that he was exceptionally accessible which allowed me to get an offer in quickly on my house, and he made it feel overall pretty easy. Would recommend.

We met Steve when he helped our son and daughter-in-law buy their first home a few years ago and were impressed with how he approached their needs as they navigated the market. He became our realtor when we purchased property and then sold our home this year and are most appreciative of his knowledge and advice in the current market. He is very capable in his abilities, has a very practical view of selling homes, is easy to talk with, was always prompt, professional and courteous, and spent the time listening to and answering our questions. We would highly recommend Steve to anyone for their real estate needs!

Steve is professional and prepared when you meet with him. He educates you and keeps you informed every step of the way. He is genuinely a good person that wants to help you, not just earn a commission. He sold our house for us in August and we left a few things in the attic and he was more than happy to reach out to the buyers agent months after we closed to setup a time to get the items. If we ever purchase another home in the area we will definitely use Steve! He's a great Realtor, but an even better person!

Working with Steve Scheppe at Viewpoint Realty has been a most enjoyable experience. Very professional and knowledgeable. He responds quickly to any questions or inquiries and is always eager to help. Please consider Viewpoint Realty for your next real estate transaction.

Steve is an excellent real estate professional. I’ve worked with him on several commercial property opportunities. He dedicated his time and energy to make sure we were getting the right fit for our company, not just clocking another sale. I highly recommend him and his brokerage.

I worked with Steve on the sale of a piece of property. He made the process very easy and stress-free. I would definitely recommend him!

Steve is very knowledgeable and professional. He goes above and beyond and is extremely easy to work with. He has helped in the sale and purchase of several of ours and our family members homes and I highly recommend him.

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Steve to sell our home, and we couldn't have been more pleased with his level of professionalism, dedication, and expertise. From the initial consultation to the final closing, Steve went above and beyond to ensure a smooth and successful sale. His knowledge of the market, communication skills, and attention to detail truly him apart. We highly recommend Steve to anyone looking to sell their home. Thank you for making the process seamless and rewarding, Steve!

We would highly recommend Steve Scheppe to anyone looking to buy property on the Leelanau Peninsula. He is very knowledgeable about the area and local real estate market. We were looking for a lakefront house in a very specific area and budget, and he was able to help us find a house that wasn't even on the market yet. There's no way we would have bought our home without Steve. He guided us through every step of the process and gave excellent advice. Living out of town, he went above and beyond to help us purchase the home remotely. We couldn't recommend him more strongly and are so happy we worked with him and now have our dream home. Thank you, Steve!

Steve Scheppe knows the business very well in all aspects. We walked the property together and located all property pins. Happy to have used Steve Scheppe very professional, made me feel at ease. Will use Steve in the future if needed.

Steve was absolutely amazing to work with. He was very understanding of our situation, what we were looking for, and our time frame. He is very knowledgeable of the area and was able to help us get a house within such a short amount of time. We highly recommend Steve to anyone and will definitely work with him in the future.

Just a very knowledgeable, respectful young man.

Steve was the only agent that answered my call on the weekend, so that was an important aspect of our interaction with him. Steve was very easy to communicate with, and he was spot on when it came to putting an offer together. Thank you, Steve.

Steve Scheppe is a great realtor and friend. He is always there to answer all your questions(which can be a lot) while selling or a buying a home. He checks off every box with his customer service and knowledge of property/home sales and purchases. I will always recommend Steve first before anyone else around northern Michigan.

Being a first-time home buyer, Steve made the process simple and easy. He always was just a call away if you had questions day or night. Stand-up guy would recommend his services to anyone.

We have used Steve in the past and as always he handles every detail with grace and professionalism. Steve was able to answer all of our questions, walked us through the financing, and kept in close contact throughout the entire process. We recommend Steve to all our friends and family and will definitely use him again for our next purchase.

Thanks Steve for an outstanding sales experience and result.

I highly recommend Steve Scheppe with all your real estate needs. He is professional and gets the job done. He is my go-to guy from now on.

Steve is trustworthy, honest and forthright. Always available. Knows us and our preference. Helped us find a terrific home.

We found Steve to be very attentive and he was great at keeping us informed all the way through the process! It was great working with him! Very easy and very little surprises!! We would highly recommend Steve to anyone wanting to sell their property!

While working with Steve Scheppe on the sale of my home and the purchase of another home, I found him to be professional, knowledgeable, thorough and very patient with all of my questions. I would recommend Steve to family and friends.

Steve was honest, thorough, timely, accessible, and easy to work with. We highly recommend him to represent you in a sale or purchase of real estate.

Steve Sheppe stood head and shoulders above the other people we interviewed. He presented as direct, knowledgeable and honest. Throughout the process Steve was very accessible, always prompt in responding to texts, emails and phone calls promptly. When it came to negotiating with prospective buyers he found a way to be persistent without being pushy. He negotiated a full-price offer even though the buyers started several thousand below asking. Steve has an excellent memory which was so helpful in the process. He is very friendly. I would not hesitate to use Steve Sheppe again or to recommend him to others.

Steve was a pleasure to work with and helped us find and purchase the perfect investment property in Traverse City. I would absolutely worn with Steve again due to his great attitude, attention to detail, and willingness to go the extra mile even when that means showing up to the township office as soon as they opened to submit paperwork on our behalf.

Steve is the only agent we would consider.

Thank you for helping me through the sale of my home. I was always very comfortable asking questions.

Steve is a treat to work with. He knows the market which translates into actionable advice. Best of all, he produced results that exceeded our expectations.

Steve has been awesome to work with. He is very knowledgeable about the area and provided great feedback. He was able to point out things in houses I may not have even thought about at first glance. He responds to messages and emails very promptly, made himself available for showings to fit my busy schedule. Has great knowledge about the market and is able to offer helpful tips when placing an offer in this crazy market. I would recommend Steve to anyone looking to buy or sell.

Steve was very help and readily available to answer questions and offer guidance throughout the process. He has been wonderful to work with!!!

We are truly grateful for having worked with Steve on our recent purchase. We were so impressed by his expert knowledge of the area, his willingness to truly understand our needs, and his patience working diligently to find us the right property. Steve educated us throughout the process and also provided excellent guidance on how to create a solid offer in such a wildly competitive market. He is a true professional whose honesty and integrity are always at the forefront of his interactions with his clients. We are forever grateful to Steve and will absolutely refer friends and family to him anytime.

Steve conducted himself with the highest manner of professionalism possible. His services went over and above to help us find our new home. I would highly recommend using Steve Scheppe him to anyone searching for a new home.

Steve Scheppe has great market instincts and is a great communicator.

We have bought and sold with Steve Scheppe four times. We would not consider any other broker.  We value Steve's knowledge of the Traverse City market. He gives us excellent advice and is always available to answer questions.

Steve was very helpful, responsive, knowledgeable, and kind. We enjoyed working with him and highly recommend him!

Steve was the listing agent for the house we were renting and considering purchasing. After discussing the property and showing him around the house I liked his approach and felt confident using him as our realtor. Providing a timely purchase was important for the sellers and Steve helped guide the timing of everything very well. This purchase was contingent on the sale of my house which he coordinated seamlessly. The purchase of the new house went very smooth as well. After discussing the house we were renting (that was being listed for sale) I was very comfortable with Steve. We shared mutual friends and was easy to talk to about the house. He was very attentive to the situation and the professionalism he brought to the table helped all the transactions (sale of my old house, purchase of new house) go as smooth as they possibly could. He gave a helpful referral for financing that helped expedite the transaction as well. Steve was accessible when needed, answered questions with expertise, and helped execute the transaction with minimal issues. Highly recommended!

Steve was very easy to work with. He was very informative and communicative.  Steve was very open and honest with the entire process.

Met Steve Sheppe at the very first house we looked at. Impressed with him. Felt he was a great fit in our search for a new home. Steve Sheppe is truly a very professional, but also down to Earth person. You felt that you could sit down and discuss anything with him, and he would take time to listen and offer his opinion. Steve also has a good sense of humor.

I have always been pleased with the performance and outcomes that I have experienced with Steve. He has always attempted to point out the good and bad points of every home that we tour. Especially those big items that sometimes are overlooked,roof, plumbing electrical etc. He goes beyond what is expected of a Realtor. I feel that I can always call him with any questions or concerns about properties that we may have toured and even after the transaction he has address issues that sometimes are inconvenient. I would recommend him to anyone.

Steve is top notch! I will work with him exclusively with all of my future purchase and sales transactions. I recommend Steve to everyone!

It was a pleasure working with Steve throughout the process of selling my house. I found him to be knowledgeable, punctual, responsive, and experienced. I would, and have, recommended him on several occasions. He was an important ally in the sale of my house. He is just flat out good at what he does and it is apparent he likes his job.

Steve is very knowledgeable about the area, and also adept at current market research. He is very communicative by phone, text and in person, and was also able to connect us to helpful contractors in the area to assist with decision-making and inspections. He was a very valuable resource in our transaction, from analyzing land vs. developed properties to presenting appropriate offers, and I highly recommend him.

Very impressed with Steve. He literally nailed and executed his plan to a tee. Perfect execution. His local market knowledge and insight proved very valuable. Very professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. Top notch. Overall Steve did a great job executing a very well thought out strategy. Sold my house within 5 days, closed in less than a month.

In 2019 my wife and I sold our summer home, figuring we would live in our Naples, Florida home year round. We love Naples but it is really hot in the summer months. In May, 2020 we started researching places where we might like to summer. Finally, deciding the Traverse City area met most if not all of the points on our place to live checklist. Next step...find a real state agent. We looked for an agent with market knowledge, at least ten years real estate experience, and, most importantly, could/would accommodate our our time frame. We wanted to come for five days, view some lake properties, and buy a home. So, we needed someone who could dedicate the time to help us Steve had what we were looking for. Born and raised in the area, he certainly knew the lakes; from water quality to any special conditions of the lakes, plus the value of location on the lakes. Not only has he been in the real estate business for more than ten years, he is also a savvy real estate investor. His practical experience translates into excellent advice. He completely committed to our timeline, while not ignoring his other clients. Steve spent the time required to show us multiple lake properties and wrote multiple offers, none of which were accepted, not because of Steve but because of the value of our offer. Since we didn't complete a deal for a lake house, we threw Steve a curve and changed our strategy. We decided to find an interim house, at a lower cost, thinking to spend a year or two and then find the lake house we wanted. Steve worked just as hard on the new strategy as the original even though the financial reward would be less. We looked at several less expensive places and finally made an offer that was accepted. We returned to Naples and Steve continued to work for us, helping the details of the property and expediting the closing. A couple of weeks after the closing, Steve is still helping us with a few things. We can only say thanks, Steve, and give our wholehearted recommendation of Steve for anyone looking for a great agent.

Mr Scheppe is excellent to work with. He is very knowledgeable and willing to put extra effort into making the best possible representation for the seller. I would use Mr. Scheppe on my next real estate experience both selling and buying.

Steve is a great guy. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone.

Steve was amazing as usual. He is always extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout the process. Highly recommend him to anyone I know looking to buy or sell. Thanks Steve!

I really believe Steve has earned our respect and trust. He worked hard and I never felt like I was ignored or less of a priority than any of his other clients. I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing his services.

My husband and I would highly recommend Steve Scheppe for your real estate needs. Steve was incredibly knowledgeable regarding the area and the properties available to us. He was always accessible, whether it was over the phone, setting up showings, or just lending an ear to talk things through. He quickly evaluated and understood our needs in looking for in a new home. If we move again, we would contact Steve to represent us.

Steve brings both experience and expertise to every situation. Buying and selling a home at the same can be a complex process, but his guidance and recommendations led us to a quick sale of our home and us getting our dream home. He listened to our needs and made recommendations that fit our needs. He’s incredibly easy to work with and genuine in every interaction he has. Very thankful to have him as our realtor and would absolutely recommend!

I have worked with Steve a number of times and it is always an enjoyable experience. Steve did a great job with each part of the transaction to make things as easy as possible. I would always recommend Steve to anyone who is looking for a Realtor who is the definition of a professional.

Steve had great knowledge of the market value of my house and how to handle multiple offers. I liked that he was in constant communication with me and gave guidance through this process.

We had an extremely smooth process selling our house with Steve. He had excellent communication at all times, explained the process, let us know next steps well in advance, and answered questions along the way so there was never a time when we felt unsure or insecure about what to do next. Most importantly, he was always honest and real with us. Steve had a very specific approach in mind for our situation and he executed it to perfection. When we listed our house, we left for two days and came home to 7 very strong offers within the first 48 hrs of showings. We only had to prep our house for showings once! He was also able to help us negotiate an extended possession date since we had a baby between selling and closing, which gave us a few extra weeks to move out. We've recommended Steve to several people since we worked with him and will certainly work with him again in the future for real estate needs.

If you are looking for someone that will get to know you, your needs and help you understand buying or selling a home, Steve's your guy. He's down to earth, puts your needs first and when push comes to shove, he will always do the right thing. We've used Steve multiple times in the past and if the need arises, will do so again in the future. You cannot go wrong with Steve, he's a miracle worker.

Steve first showed my wife and I a house several years ago. He helped us by telling us which mortgage company to work with and which ones to watch out for. We looked at several houses in the last couple of years and finally found our forever home which helped the lengthy closing go by and made the transition better. Even after selling the house and finishing his job he still has helped try to communicate with us with getting something replaced in the house that was on warranty. Have already recommended Steve to their people.

Steve did a great job staying on top of the local real estate market, sending me listings as soon as they became available, showing multiple properties via Zoom, and coordinating the whole transaction seamlessly (and partly long-distance). He was a tremendous asset to me in my search.

Steve Scheppe was wonderful! We feel like we have made a new friend here. He was very polite, helpful, extremely thoughtful, and still professional. A very kind person. We are glad our family recommended him. His personality and expert help made our house-hunting experience a great one. I only wish that he was also in our area to have sold our house for us!

Working with Steve was a very good experience and I always felt he was there to help me through finding and purchasing a new home.

Steve Scheppe is an exceptional real estate broker. We had utilized his services with the sale of Gayle's mother's home in Traverse City a couple years ago, and found him to be highly professional, knowledgeable, quick to respond back to all our communication, and not pushy in any way. We appreciate the way he listened to our wishes and needs, gave his suggestions and ideas, but ultimately allowed us to make decisions regarding the sale of our home. We love that he used a professional photographer who took excellent photos of our home. Our home had multiple offers within the first day of placing it on the market! We appreciate Steve and would recommend his services to anyone in the area who is considering selling or buying a home.

Steve went above and beyond helping my husband and I find the right home. He was available after work hours and always was quick to respond. He was very knowledgeable and made the process easy to understand being that we were first time home buyers. He is trustworthy and has a lot of local knowledge and connections.

We were very happy with Steve and how he worked with us during the process.

Steve was a great help in selling our properties. This is about our 4th sale with him. He always does an excellent job.

Steve Scheppe is very helpful, communicative, and overall just a nice guy. He definitely knows what he’s doing and what the client wants. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor. Thanks Steve!

Steve Scheppe has a track record of not only selling property, but truly understanding the Real Estate market and business. Steve is personable, a great listener, knowledgeable about the current market, but also able to speak to the state of the property, and it's relative value. Steve doesn't "push" property. He sells because he learns as much about the house/property as he possibly can. He took the time to sit and talk with me about the property's history, looked at every inch of the property, and talked with me extensively about my wishes. My friend recommended Steve because he had sold two properties for her. I found him totally professional, a good listener but he also expressed his opinions on the important topics. He was exactly what I expected a Real Estate Professional to be. And he sold my one hundred year old cottage in a reasonable time frame and at a reasonable price. Steve is a great communicator. I live five hours away from the cottage I was selling. He kept me in the loop at all times. We had a couple who only wanted to reduce the price of the cottage excessively. Steve handled them in a very professional manner...but basically told them we aren't interested in giving away the property. He communicated all of this to me in the middle of the transaction and handled them beautifully.

Steve worked hand in hand with my lender, and insured that all of the necessary paperwork that they required was obtained and submitted in a very timely manner.

I have worked with Steve on the purchase of our primary residence as well so when I needed to sell our rental property I knew that I would be using him since he had done such a great job in our previous real estate transaction. Steve is very easy to communicate with and also understands and respects your input. He does not try to force what he thinks might be best but he will work with you to come up with a great strategy that you are comfortable with during the selling and negotiating process. We are very happy with the process of working with and the results of our real estate transaction using Steve as our realtor.

We had worked with Steve on a previous house purchase and were so pleased with his service and expertise that we would not consider changing realtors.

Steve is awesome. Just got what we were doing and helped up accomplish everything.

Steve's planning abilities are skill sets that sold our home. He came with an executable plan and provided suggestions that worked for our situation. He sold our lake-front property and home to the very first buyer for cash! We highly recommend Steve Scheppe as a Realtor!

Steve is outstanding.

Steve is an honest and an all around great guy. Does what he says he is going to do and so very easy to get along with. I highly recommend him!

Steve was patient and he got it! He completely understood our situation and where we were in the buying process, and it worked!

Steve was very accessible, professional, and had many good resources. It was a pleasure to work with him!

We heard about a couple of our friend’s great experiences with Steve and reached out to him immediately to find out what steps we needed to take to get our house-hunting process started. When we were finally able to start looking Steve knew of multiple homes we would be interested in. He recommended a house that had just come on the market and told us exactly what we needed to do to make our offer stand out and we quickly got accepted because of Steve’s expertise. We are so grateful and will recommend Steve to everyone in need of a home.

Steve was able to help us maneuver the market and parts of town- something key for newbies in the market! The patience with us while he listened to feedback and continued to show us homes was very important. We could not be happier with Steve!

We’ve worked with Steve for a few years now. He’s extremely knowledgeable about the area and the housing market. Very friendly and enjoyable to work with.

I would highly recommend Steve Scheppe to any person buying or selling their home. He made it his mission to make our transaction go as smooth as possible. He is trustworthy, knowledgeable, and demonstrates a very high level of integrity in all his endeavors. He maintained contact with everyone involved in the process and gave us frequent updates. He was ALWAYS available for any questions or concerns we had and was able to give us comprehensive answers to many of our questions by pulling from personal experience. I would and have recommended Steve to many friends and family. In my opinion, he is the best. Thanks, Steve!!

If you are looking for a down-to-earth and caring realtor to help, don't hesitate to work with Steve. His attention to detail and your personal needs is outstanding. I can't talk highly enough about his services.

Steve Scheppe is by far the best realtor/broker is have dealt with.

Steve could not have been more helpful. I had many questions and he was there with the answer. I would recommend Steve to everyone.

I met Steve Scheppe at an open house and liked his manner. He was friendly, knowledgeable, professional and not at all pushy. When we got serious about purchasing a house, I was happy to enlist Steve's help. Steve listened to our needs and directed us to appropriate listings, His understanding on the area community was very helpful to us in selecting the best location for our purchase. He also provided contacts for home improvement work that was needed after the purchase. I would recommend Steve to anyone looking for a house in the Traverse City area.

Upon meeting with Steve about listing our home, I felt completely comfortable with his knowledge, experience, and plan to sell our home. We are more than happy with the work Steve did to sell our home quickly, and he made it virtually stress free on our part! He went above and beyond to represent us in negotiations, explained the process clearly, and did a great job overall.

Steve helped us navigate through a difficult and time-consuming negotiation. He maintained a professional and reassuring attitude throughout the contract.

I met with several local brokers when preparing to sell my home. Steve was the only one I met with who I felt was genuinely acting in my best interest. All other brokers I had met with had a clear agenda that did not necessarily favor my best interest. Steve made sure the process went smoothly and made it as pain-free as possible.

Being a first time home buyer, he took it slow and described everything step by step and what to do in each step. He made it seem like a breeze. Absolute top notch service, best of the best! I'll be referring him to everyone I know. He showed patience in waiting for the right house with me, and even pulled me off a couple houses that were not good options. When the right one came up we had an offer in within hours!

Steve has to be one of the nicest "salesmen" you could find. He wasn't pushy or trying to just get the sale done to move on. Steve was open about value and what we could do differently, and what not to do in order to get our house sold. Steve is genuinely a nice, caring person who was out for the best for our family. We are very happy with the service he provided and process of the sale of our home. Steve has also gone out of his way to offer his advice on the purchase of our new dream home. We would highly recommend Steve to anyone selling or purchasing a home. Thank you again Steve for making our next chapter that much easier and giving us peace of mind when selling our home.

I believe that what I appreciated most about Steve was I always felt that was working on our behalf to find the home that best fit our needs. I never felt that he was just there to make a quick sale and move on. Moving from Northeastern Ohio to Traverse City, we relied on an agent who represented our needs and wishes. That is something that is not easy to find and one feels vulnerable. I never felt this way with Steve and appreciate all he did to find us a home. I would not hesitate to recommend Steve to anyone looking for a home in the Traverse City area.

Steve was extremely helpful and took care of issues for me since I was out of town.  A pleasure to work with.

I have been working with Steve for over 8 years. In fact, I think a previous land purchase was one of his first closings. In total, I have purchased and/or sold four parcels or land and one home with his help. I have also recommended him to many of my family and friends. Everyone agrees he is very effective and good at what he does!

Steve was perfect in every possible way. I would refer him to any person that inquired about selling or purchasing a home.

Steve Scheppe is awesome! I will definitely work with him again in the coming year! Thank you, Steve!

Steve Scheppe was wonderful to work with. He had great knowledge of the home I was looking at, he was able to negotiate the asking price for me and also made the closing happen in the time frame I needed it to.

Working with Steve Scheppe has been awesome! I live out of state, but as an investor, have been interested in properties in Traverse City. Steve has been extremely helpful to me as I begin to learn the lay of the land and discover each area of town and its offerings. He has also been super flexible in meeting with me when I am able to come to town to look at potential business ventures and provide me with any information I may need to make a knowledgeable decision. But truly I like working with Steve because along with his professionalism, he has a sense of humor and comfortable demeanor! Thanks for everything, Steve!

Our experience with Matt Geib was exceptional in every way. He sold our house in a very short time. After selling our house he worked even harder to find us a house to buy. Matt was a pleasure to work with. I would recommend Matt to everyone wanting to sell or buy a house.

Steve was extremely helpful in helping me search for a house that met my preferred characteristics. He made the entire home-buying experience very easy, quick, and stress-free. This was my first home-buying experience and Steve provided me with expert advice and considerations all the way through the process. He made himself available to me at every time of day. Having him be just a text away with any of my concerns was extremely helpful. I would recommend Steve to anyone and everyone I know.

We found Steve Scheppe to be very knowledgeable and personable in all our contacts. He promptly returned all of our phone calls and worked closely with our lender to facilitate this transaction.

Steve always made himself readily available, even on weekends and when he was out of town. He was soooo extremely patient with me, he understood the stress of the home-buying process and always remained calm and reassured all was right on track. I have heard that buying a home is one of the most beautiful, yet most stressful things we will go through in our lives. It is a true statement, it is a roller coaster ride. However, Steve was ALWAYS there for me to answer any questions I had and was always there to make sure things were going according to plan. I knew I could count on him and that he would do everything he needed to get us "home". My children and I will always be thankful for all of his hard work to make sure our dream of owning a home became a reality!

I was recommended to work with Steve Scheppe by an acquaintance in Cedar, MI. He was very professional, offered quick responses and educated me on the local environment in the Leelanau area. The closing was smooth with no hitches! Thank you Steve for all of your assistance!

Steve is an excellent realtor. I would highly recommend him to anyone interested in purchasing or selling their home. He is extremely knowledgeable about the area and was always accessible to answer any question we had throughout our home buying process. Thanks Steve!!

Steve Sheppe took amazing care of us!! He was the ultimate professional at all times, very calming and knowledgeable. As you know, house searching and the entire buying process can be very stressful! Steve made this entire process smooth and pretty painless! We loved working with him and highly recommend him to anyone looking for an exceptional real estate agent !

Would recommend Steve to anyone, it was a great experience.

I had talked to Steve Sheppe about a listing about 3 years prior- he was very professional on the phone, offered suggestions and was not pushy at all! Recently, when my husband and I decided to home shop, a girlfriend mentioned their "awesome" realtor, Steve Sheppe and it clicked that I had called on one of his listings several years ago and he made an impression. We were absolutely not disappointed!!! Steve went above and beyond his job in helping us navigate through the home buying (and selling of current home) process. He answered all of our questions, brought up pertinent information and when we did finally find "The Home," he was right there with us, sharing in our joy!  My husband and I highly recommend Steve Sheppe as an outstanding realtor !!! We are very happy!

I found Steve Scheppe to be one of the most competent realtors I have ever dealt with. I have purchased numerous properties and I really enjoy when someone is very professional and knowledgeable about their industry. I would and will recommend Steve to anyone looking to need help in the Traverse city area.

Steve is an excellent agent and a great person. Very knowledgeable about the entire process from start to finish. Also, very knowledgeable about the Traverse City area and Old Mission Peninsula.

We have had many real estate agents in the last 40 years and not one even came close to understanding our needs as Steve has been. There was no high pressure, he didn't waste our time by showing houses that didn't come close to fitting our needs and ALWAYS gave us his honest opinion. He was always accessible and when he was going to be away he made me aware of his schedule. You need to give this guy a raise!

Selling a house can be a tumultuous process but Steve made it as simple as possible. He acted as our advocate and communicated with us every step of the way. Steve made selling our home easy and he inspired confidence that everything was taken care of for us quickly and accurately. To add to it, he's an all around nice guy. We would recommend him to anyone.

Steve did an amazing job selling our home and had it sold in under a week!

Very professional!!

Steve Scheppe was a true pleasure to work with. He goes above and beyond in service. He wants to make sure you are comfortable at every step of the process. I can't imagine finding anyone better to handle all the details of a real estate purchase. I would highly recommend anyone who wants to have a professional and pleasurable experience to work with Steve. We needed some critical research in our purchase and Steve really drilled down, spent a tremendous amount of time, had an inordinate amount of patience to make sure we had everything we needed. His knowledge of the area is invaluable. We feel we gained not only a lasting future relationship with a broker but we gained a friend.

Steve Scheppe not only sold our vacant waterfront property; but, he also worked closely with us on the potential purchase of a waterfront shared condo unit which in the end did not work out because of insurance issues with the unit. And Steve guided us through every step of the way gathering and sharing information necessary to make the appropriate decisions...Very talented young man!

We found Steve to be very client-oriented and a very good listener. Although we initially met him looking at his own home which was for sale, he had no pause in recommending another home to us which better met our needs and requirements. We found him to be very personable, helpful, and ethical. We would not hesitate to recommend him to other people needing an agent.

Steve Scheppe was there for us through every step of the home selling and buying process. His calm yet professional approach to the real estate business was exactly what we needed to guide us through an otherwise stressful process. We will be suggesting Steve to everyone we know!

Steve was very helpful guiding an out of state purchaser through a purchase.

Steve is an excellent agent that will stick with you when things get difficult. He provides excellent service and is very knowledgeable. His positive attitude and encouraging words are second to none. He sets an example for the industry with his work ethic. A real winner and it shows in everything that he does. If you choose Steve as your agent you will get your best interests put before all else except integrity.

We would highly recommend Steve to anyone!! Very professional and knowledgeable.  Best experience we have had with buying and selling our home. Great job Steve!!

Steve went above and beyond to get us the home we wanted and to guide us down the path of selling our home. If he can move down to the Kalamazoo area I have another property for him to sell....

Steve Scheppe was absolutely wonderful. Extremely knowledgeable, patient. He works very hard for his clients. We could not have asked for a better agent to work with. We will strongly recommend Steve to anyone.

Steve was instrumental in navigating us easily through what could have been an extremely difficult sale.

We would highly recommend Steve Scheppe to our friends and family!

Steve Scheppe was great. He was always very helpful and there to answer any questions we had.

Steve is a great agent to work with. Takes the time to understand your needs, and has excellent local knowledge.

Knowledgeable, prompt, courteous, hard-working. I couldn't be more satisfied with my experience. Buying a home can be very intimidating. Having Steve to help me was imperative.

Steve immediately went to work supplying us with information that was useful and important and never stopped. We were 1500 miles away and we were able to decide on a home with one in-person visit. He made the paperwork process easy and painless. An extremely capable broker.

Steve Scheppe was extremely patient and understanding while I figured out what I wanted out of a house. His knowledge of the area and honesty were both excellent and very much appreciated.

I used Steve because he's the only agent I've ever dealt with that actually did what he said he would do and usually more punctually than expected.

Based on his performance and his attitude I would recommend him to anyone. He is intelligent, easy to work with, and very responsive.

Steve was a constant professional. He quickly recognized our needs and desires when selecting a home for purchase, and found us the perfect home! I will recommend Steve to everyone I know and care about to use as a realtor. A+ performance. He helped a ton with the negotiation process, and when underwriting threatened to kill the deal he was able to negotiate with the seller to keep them interested in the sale. GREAT JOB Steve!

I recommend Steve to everyone I know. He is very helpful with all aspects of the real estate transaction and if he does know he tells you but also states he will find out and get back to you. We appreciate everything Steve has done for us. He has bought and sold 4 properties for us.

Steve made this long process pleasant and enjoyable. His knowledge of the ins and outs of real estate transactions and the local market were impressive.

Steve Scheppe was great to work with. He was available anytime to talk and meet face-to-face. He went the extra mile to make this sales experience great!

We have been working with Steve for over three years now. From the first property that we bought through him while we were still living in Colorado and didnt see the property prior to owning it through our third property that we bought earlier this year Steve has always looked out for our best interest. Even though we didn't buy our second property for more than 2.5 years after the first he was always staying in contact with us, sending listings that he thought would be of interest to us and sent us holiday gift baskets! Beyond knowledge of the area he has knowledge as to what makes sense from a financial stand point and has a lot to offer. More than that he's a realtor that you can trust. We can't say enough good things about Steve.

Steve was very easy to work with, and his knowledge of the area was invaluable. I also appreciated that when he said he was going to do something he did it and in a timely manner! I would not hesitate to recommend Steve Scheppe he's an exceptional person!

Steve has handled sales for us and has always worked hard for us, bargained hard for us and has always been friendly, trustworthy and is an all around great guy and salesman. We would recommend him to everyone.

I listed with Steve Scheppe as I was not in the country during the home sale. I needed someone I could trust. I needed someone with experience. Steve checked all the boxes, plus some.

Steve Scheppe was wonderful to work with both on the buy side and sell side. Very knowledgeable and an excellent communicator. Realistic in his expectations. Honest.

Showed us many houses. Did not push us in one direction or another. More than willing to let us make our own decisions.

Steve was incredibly thorough and we highly recommended his services! We purchased our casa all the way from Spain, without even seeing it because Steve was our boots on the ground and made for an incredibly smooth purchase. He did several face times so we could view the entire property. He handled all of the above for us (lender, inspector, insurance, etc) by connecting us with other great people. I can assure you that you will be in good hands.

Working with Steve on this deal turned out to be imperative! Without his knowledge of real estate, including the area, and putting difficult deals together, we would have never ended up with this beautiful property. My wife and I have looked for over five years to find the perfect up north retirement home. We wanted some with privacy, lakefront, and a little bit of property. Steve made this deal happen right from the start! My first contact with him was 9:30 PM!! I've been in real estate as an investor and a property owner for over 30 years, when I called his cell phone at 9:30 PM, the thought going through my head was "this guy will never answer"! Lol I was definitely wrong not only did he answer we set up a showing for the next day. With his knowledge of real estate transactions, made this deal happen! Thanks to Steve we ended up with a once in a lifetime piece of property! We've been in contact after the sale it's always great to hear from him!

We have been working with Steve to sell and purchase properties for over 12 years. Steve is highly professional, knowledgeable and easy to work with. We trust and value his advice. He just takes care of whatever needs to be done, leaving us with little to worry about. No stress. No drama. I wouldn't hesitate to work with Steve again. In fact, I look forward to using his services in the future.

Steve Scheppe is an exceptional real estate broker. We had utilized his services with the sale of Gayle's mother's home in Traverse City a couple years ago, and found him to be highly professional, knowledgeable, quick to respond back to all our communication, and not pushy in any way. We appreciate the way he listened to our wishes and needs, gave his suggestions and ideas, but ultimately allowed us to make decisions regarding the sale of our home. We love that he used a professional photographer who took excellent photos of our home. Our home had multiple offers within the first day of placing it on the market! We appreciate Steve and would recommend his services to anyone in the area who is considering selling or buying a home.

Very impressed with Steve. He literally nailed and executed his plan to a tee. Perfect execution. His local market knowledge and insight proved very valuable. Very professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. Top notch. Overall Steve did a great job executing a very well thought out strategy. Sold my house within 5 days, closed in less than a month.
