About Stephen A Raffaelli,Jr.

Stephen kept us informed. He communicated just enough. He took time to ensure the house was ready for potential buyers each visit. He helped with developing a counter offer by providing pros and cons to our initial reaction. I cannot thank Stephen enough for his professionalism, patience, knowledge, and executing his plan to sell our house.

Mr. Raffaelli is the best in the business, and in my opinion it isn’t close. He knows the market, knows the levers to pull (and not to pull) in offers and negotiations. He isn’t in a rush, nor does he try to talk his clients into anything. He listens, wants to understand his clients wants and needs, and simply takes the time to ask “are you happy with this direction?”. That goes a long way. I will never use a different realtor in DC.

Steve is very understanding and easy to work with. Moving during the holidays can be tough. We also appreciate that he doesn’t walk away after the sell but has many connections to help update our new home and will work with us in staging our current home to sell in the spring!

Stephen did a great job.

Steve is the best realtor we’ve ever used. He is the best at negotiating contracts and over-delivering when it comes to the entire deal. He is the best in the business.

My husband and I were first time home buyers. I was anxious about contacting a Real Estate Agent, there are so many companies and we were new to the area due to my husband being in the ARMY. We have moved all over the place just like many Military families do. Alaska, South Korea, Washington, Florida and South Korea (again) and now our last stop Virginia. We did not have knowledge of the area let alone the real estate market. Before my husband joined the ARMY, I had worked in a real estate office for 12 years and understand how competitive and eager Real Estate Agents can be. A dear family friend who is a licensed Broker in Southern California referred Mr. Stephen A. Raffaelli, Jr. From the first moment we spoke on the phone we had a great rapport. Stephen listened and heard what we were looking for. He was extremely knowledgeable of many areas, and homes, but he knew exactly what we were looking for after we discussed our likes, dislikes and wants. Stephen found our forever home on our first day out looking, and it was only the 2nd house we saw. He was comforting and kept us in the loop once we put the offer in and the countering began. He countered in our best interest, explaining how and what he would counter, but only after he would ask us what we wanted to do, which; was extremely reassuring that we had ourselves an AWESOME Real Estate Agent. Not only did we have a smooth escrow, due to Stephens updates and explanation of anything that came up, we ended up with a great interest rate due to a special that Stephen informed us about. All we had to do was ask our lender whether we qualified or not. Stephen’s great personality and real estate knowledge was what made our home buying experience so much more exciting and quite frankly not as stressful as I had anticipated. He also included my children as much as possible which was extremely sweet. I have recommended Stephen to other Military families and will continue to do so. I would also like to add that he never made it seem like we were a job or a bother and believe me I know I can be when I am stressed. I can’t say it enough but Stephens personality and knowledge made this an enjoyable process. Mr. Stephen A. Raffaelli, Jr. should give a seminar to other agents on how to be kind, positive and knowledgeable. His approach to communicating and understanding the needs of his clients and the way he was able to calm my anxiety by explaining in detail what exactly what was going on was just excellent. We recommend Stephen A. Raffaelli, Jr. for anyone one looking for an AWESOME AGENT!
