 Rich is the consummate professional. He came into our lives at a critical time and provided us the necessary guidance, information, and support we needed to sell our home. We needed the right buyer and the right price. His knowledge of the industry and expertise in dealing with other realtors, appraisers, banks, and mortgage lenders was of the highest caliber. He responded to every phone call and email we sent his way, often the very same day, and he responded in detail. He negotiated for us the best possible price and we couldn't be happier. He took the work and worry from us and made this entire process a smooth one. Rich is not only in the business of buying and selling homes, he gets great satisfaction in helping others reach their dreams. Rich is highly principled and empathetic and we are fortunate to have had him as our realtor, even more fortunate to now call him a friend. We would highly recommend Rich to anyone getting ready to buy or sell a home.

 I considered several very good agents before choosing the Core 1 Team. I decided that Rich and Cheryl Steffen were a cut above the pack in experience, competence and integrity. I was not disappointed. Their plan for selling my house was detailed and impressive. Once I signed them up they did everything they said they would and more. My house was an excellent value with certain characteristics that limited its market. But their persistence and creativity got the job done. Their help in getting some remodeling done after I moved 600 miles away was indispensable. The eventual buyer was another real estate agent whose respect for my agent turned out to be essential to the negotiations which resulted in a fair price after a lowball initial offer. We are grateful we are for the service they provided for us.

 Patience, market and construction knowledge, integrity, reliability, these are qualities that you need from your real estate agent.  Rich Steffen possesses them all. 

 

My husband, Todd, and I, began our search for our home six months prior to actually discovering it.  Rich spent multiple days showing us houses and understood that finding the right house takes time.

Rich is a wealth of knowledge when it came to market and construction knowledge.  He knew what houses were truly worth.  He was also able to point out what costs would be involved for repair or upgrade. 

Integrity is an important quality that is hard to find.  My husband and I looked at a wide price range of houses.  Rich did not pressure us or try to sway us towards the more expensive.  Instead, he carefully pointed out the positives and negatives of each house, regardless of the price. In each step of finding our home, Rich was reliable, efficient, and prompt. He kept every appointment and followed through with every question that we had. 

We are very happy in our new home.  We would highly recommend Rich to anyone in search of their new home.

 We utilized Rich and Cheryl to sell two houses and buy a house.  In all interactions they have been very knowledgeable and responsive.  They not only have real estate knowledge but also understand structures, repairs and what it takes to fix things.  I can’t say enough about Rich and Cheryl!  I highly recommend them.  I wouldn’t use or recommend anyone else!!

 I've been in the real estate business for almost 15 years. As the owner of a mortgage company, I've met thousands of real estate professionals. Every one of them was talented in their own way, but very few are as well rounded as Rich and Cheryl Steffen. As a team, they focus on every aspect of  their client’s needs. It's obvious that every transaction is a well thought out process and their approach allows each of their clients the luxury of making the most educated investment possible. 
 

Cheryl's positive, gentle, organized spirit adds a personal touch to every transaction, all the way down to the closing table. Rich is a true expert of real estate. His extensive knowledge of the finances, real estate investment, and his overall mechanical understanding allow him to offer a unique approach to every transaction.  While these are all incredible traits, there is nothing more appealing than their genuine kind and good hearted personalities. They are good as it gets.
