What others have said about their real estate experience is far more important than whatever I might say about myself. These testimonials are real people, telling their real stories. Each unique, but each resonating with similar experiences.
So, with that said, I consider the satisfaction of my real estate clients to be my greatest achievement. Handing over the keys is wonderful. But having happy clients that shout it from the rooftops is even better - for everybody!
To me, a testimonial from my real estate clients is evidence of a remarkable experience. Remarkable is defined as being worthy of notice, especially for being unusual or extraordinary.
It has been an absolute pleasure working with Steven, Shelley and their team! To say they exceeded our expectations is an understatement. They achieved results we could not have imagined. Steven’s professionalism is second to none. His integrity, patience, and kindness were appreciated throughout the entire process. The video and marketing Shelley provided were incredible! She captured our home with thoughtful and inspiring video and we were blown away. Steven’s guidance throughout was so appreciated and we will never forget his respectful and kind manner that led to the incredibly successful sale of our home! 
We thoroughly enjoyed working with Steven and Matt and the rest of the Sotheby's team, The professionalism and attention to detail was second to none and we would highly recommend working with this team! Thanks again Steven and Matt!
Steven Hill was the reason we sold our home in the shortest time we have experienced on record for an above asking price. Both Steven and Shelley gave our home the exposure it needed and went above and beyond with their skills and professionalism that we have never encountered from selling real estate in the past. The drone video and high quality coloured pamphlets used enhanced every beautiful feature our home had to offer. Both my husband and I would not hesitate to hire Steven and Shelley again and we would highly recommend their knowledge and professionalism to other home owners in Calgary. Thank you Steven and Shelley.
Professional Realtors, excellent service great marketing! The way our house was showcased was exceptional. Very positive experience and they got the job done at record speed! I would definitely refer or seek their services in the future!
Stress free and great. Very polite and knowledgeable agent always there to answer your questions and very helpful. On the whole a good experience; great service and very polite and knowledgeable Realtor
The decision to buy or sell a home is not one to be taken lightly. I couldn't think of anyone better to help make the process as smooth as possible. Steven and his wife, Shelley, are incredible at what they do. They care about their clients and will always provide an unbiased opinion, as surprising as that may sound for a salesperson. Did I mention he also has a great sense of humour? While we were in the process of searching for our new home, Steven was always available to answer any questions we had and would make time for us, including very last minute showings, despite his busy schedule. This dynamic duo is incredibly thoughtful and will listen wholeheartedly to the things that matter most to you, ensuring you get the home of your dreams. Steven is our go to guy and I would absolutely recommend he be yours as well!
When looking for a Realtor to help us find our new home Steven was the perfect fit. He was readily available and an advocate for our family’s needs. He guided us through the process with ease and confidence. After having worked with other realtors in the past, who often fell short of meeting our expectations, Steven exceeded them. We would not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone looking to buy or sell a property.
Steven was amazing from start to finish. He was attentive and explained everything very clearly. Every aspect from taking photos and videos to marketing and finding us our new home to move to was handled very professionally. He quickly sized up our needs and knew what we needed almost before we did ! He had a calming influence throughout the journey. We have an agent for life!

"Looking for a home as a first-time buyer is as exciting as it is frightening. You aren’t sure who you can trust and where they will lead you. Steven did an excellent job of partnering with me throughout my home-buying journey. We saw a whopping 25 homes together. While I don’t recommend that for everyone, it was what I needed and Steven had the patience to stick it out with me. He taught me about home buying without condescension and never pushed me to decide before I was good and ready. Once I chose a place, he fought for me in negotiations. I lost my first offer but sometimes you do! It certainly wasn’t for Steven’s lack of trying. Steven was right there to set up new viewings and offer advice for the next round when I felt ready to move forward. You can have confidence that Steven will meet you where you are at, guide you through the process, and offer attentive opinions when you want them. The more confidence you have in your decision making, the better he will be able to take action on your behalf. Steven was recommended to me by a close friend and I am happy to recommend him to you. Happy house hunting!!"
"In todays busy and uncertain world, it seems people always find time to complain yet they seldom take a second to thank someone who has assisted them in times of need. With that, I wanted to send a note of thanks to Steven for all of his efforts and assistance in not only selling a residence that I was apart of for 20 years yet also finding a new place to call home.
"Steven went above and beyond what would usually be expected of a realtor to ensure the sale of our home was seamless. Steven and his team created customized print advertising and virtually staged our home to give us a marketing edge and quickly sell our home. He took his time to explain every step of the process and provided us with resources and professional recommendations along the way. He was patient with us and we never felt rushed in making any decisions. We are forever grateful to him for his help in selling our home and will be recommending him to everyone we know!"
"Having to deal with the estate sale of my father’s home, Steven Hill was recommended to me by a friend who had recently sold a property utilizing Steven. I met with Steven at the property and was immediately impressed with his knowledge of the area and his marketing plan. And then the world changed. Despite having to deal with the sale of a residence during the Covid-19 crisis in an already depressed Calgary housing market, Steven managed to bring offer after offer. With Steven’s constant communications, his superior negotiating skills and his guidance and recommendations, the property sold for more than the initial asking price. Steven has been a pleasure to work with and I would not even consider looking at another agent for any future real estate transactions. I highly recommend Steven to anyone who is considering buying or selling in this difficult Calgary area real estate market."
"It was difficult to transition from owning a "home" to realizing that we were putting a "product" on the market. Once we got through that, Steven and his team made it easy. We had previously listed the property and picked a random realtor. Not only did the house not sell, but the whole process was a bad experience. We felt the realtor was not committed to selling the property and dismissed our concerns. We then decided to try again with someone else. We interviewed 3 potential realtors based on exceptional reviews and strong proven track records. In the interview, Steven outshined the others by providing very honest feedback based on current market conditions. From then on, we felt like we were partners in the entire process. Our questions were always welcomed and explored- never dismissed. Steven will not take on a client that he does not believe he can successfully broker a deal for. He is stubborn enough to see it through to the end and his clients are all the better for it. Steven and his team are experts in marketing, negotiating and reading the economic environment. I have no doubt that our property was positioned in the best possible light to attract buyers. No matter what the dollar value of your property, Steven works as if it were a multi million dollar home. We also happen to think that he has the best shoes in the business! Steven and Shelley are true professionals and exceptional people to work with, We would not hesitate to use him in the future and highly recommend him to others."
"Many thanks for making what can be a stressful experience into a non-event. You took care of all the details so well we didn't have to think about them, proving again you are Best in Class! Though this was a small sale you treated us as if we were million dollar sellers."
"We sought Steven out because he sold a house around the corner from us in 1 day. Our house had previously been listed with 2 previous agents, and we felt that there was more that could be done. When Steven came to us, he didn’t give us a pitch or salesy presentation. He got excited about our home and listened to what we wanted to achieve, and then made recommendations and outlined an exciting marketing strategy for us.
"I have worked with Steven before in Buying and Selling a condo and enlisted his help again selling a condo and buying a house for our new family. Steven on our Initial meeting was very direct on what it would take to sell our condo in a downturn but ensured us that we would have opportunities when it was our turn to buy. 
"I met Steven Hill about 10 years ago when I was searching for an excellent real estate agent. He came highly recommended from another employee at my company who had the pleasure of having him as their Realtor so I contacted him for the sale of our condo in Calgary. He was everything you would want in a real estate agent and more. When I was finally ready to sell the condo we put it on the market and he sold it within a week. I re-located to the East Coast under very stressful circumstances.
"When we made the decision to buy a home in Calgary, and had not yet selected a realtor, a good friend asked if he could introduce us to Steven Hill to help with our purchase. He had previously purchased a home with Steven and said he was very happy with what had been done for him.
"Steven,
"My husband and I met Steven Hill last summer as we asked to view one of his acreage listings. Although the property did not suit us - we discovered that the selling Realtor - Steven - did! He was very knowledgeable about his listing but was never pushy and he gave us material on Sotheby's International Realty. When we became interested in making an offer on another property later in the summer we contacted Steven and set up an appointment for him to Represent us and value our home. Again he was never pushy but instead provided us with lots of great information on comparables in the neighbourhood and gave us tips on how to prepare our home for sale. Although we did not get that property as a Conditional Offer was already made on it, Steven reassured us that there was one out there for us and he would help us along the journey. We worked on readying our home for sale during the winter months and the search was on again in January with Steven leading the way and making himself available to us at all times to view properties. Finally we found our acreage in early April and with Steven's guidance made an offer which was fine-tuned with Steven's help and then Accepted! The Offer process was nerve-racking but Steven was there to help us all along the way. Then it was our turn to become the Sellers and again with Steven's help and knowledge we listed it at the end of April. With Steven's advertising and sales approach along with the amazing photography of our home - which showcased its best features - the requests for showings came rolling in and we had competing offers and our house sold in four days!!
"When it was time to sell my home, my stress level was through the roof! As a broker in real estate you'd think I'd have this down cold but that was not the case when selling my family home after a divorce. When I sold real estate my biggest focus was on my clients being well-informed; both the good and, yes, sometimes the not-so-good. The key with providing information is the ability to create a plan, or roadmap, and to be ready to adapt the moment the data starts to show a new story.
"I have bought and sold 5 properties in my life in Edmonton, Vancouver, Calgary, Cochrane and Bragg Creek. I have worked with some capable individuals but have never worked with a realtor with qualities that exceeded my expectations which made the sale of my property flow brilliantly from beginning to final sale.
"We chose to list our home with Steven Hill based upon our son’s strong recommendation. Our son spoke highly of not only Steven’s approachable and affable manner but also of his expertise to deliver a reliable and highly professional service during his two real estate transactions.
"After decades of doing our own real estate buying and selling, the concept of using a real estate agency to help find and, purchase our new AB property was not without great reluctance. The Sotheby's experience has been, right out of the gate.... incredibly refreshing. The agency was extremely professional, and on top of every communication both in terms of quality and timeliness. Steven Hill then took Sotheby's great customer service to yet another level by exceeding our every expectation. Based on fairly detailed parameters that we provided (as we were abroad), Steven quickly weeded through our shortlist of properties and, found a needle in the hay stack, dream property for us. 
"My house in Tuscany was sold by Steven Hill at a difficult time for me and in a severe buyer's market. First I put a "For Sale by Owner" sign outside just to see what would happen. Nothing happened other than 2 realtors knocking on my door. I approached 3 realtors and finally decided to choose Steven. I chose him since he was recommended by one of my daughters. He had previously looked after 2 property transactions for her and her husband. I was in the hospital having major surgery when I made that decision. He met with me the day after I was discharged and presented a plan that did manage to achieve the sale. I told Steven that I needed the house sold within 3 weeks. The plan was to list it but prepared to drop the asking price significantly after 2 weeks. I certainly chose the right realtor for the job. He got the job done on schedule, actually the same day the price was dropped. At one point there were 4 houses for sale on my street. One was withdrawn from the market. My house sold. Now it is 3 months later and the other 2 houses are still for sale. I was prepared to take what the market offered which was much less than I personally thought I should get after the work put into the home. Steven knew the market and got me the best price possible under the market conditions.
“Steven was truly fantastic in all aspects of and during every point in the home buying process.
"When I was introduced to Steven Hill, I knew from the minute we met “this was the guy” to represent me. Steven has a very calm, soft approach to his dealing with people, unlike the ego driven who spout their credentials to impress. He listens to understand what the client wants rather than telling them what he wants. He assured me he was confident in his ability to sell my property without over promising and I was skeptical, but boy did he deliver on that promise, and some.
Simon and I had talked about looking for a smaller home for about 2 years after our 6 bed, 4 bath home became too large for our needs. After a very spontaneous house viewing in Aug 2018, we found our new home and moved in within 2 weeks. Reality of selling our existing home kicked in and everything was fast and furious to list before the fall market. As soon as we listed $30K below our competitors, crazy price drops and under cuts followed and we felt the challenging, forever changing Calgary buyers’ market. By November 2018, we were extremely confused, very emotional and we decided to take the house off the market. We felt that renting was our only option, even though we both did not want to be landlords, and we set off down that path.
"Steven was a wonderful realtor to work with! My boyfriend and I started looking at open houses a year prior to when we were going to buy to get a better idea of what we were looking for. We met Steven as he was hosting an open house for a client. We took his card and made sure a year later to contact him as he left a lasting impression with his professionalism and knowledge of real estate. Steven took a deep interest in what we were looking for and asked us questions about what we needed in a house that we didn't even think about. His attention to detail, strong communication and commitment to find us exactly what we needed was amazing. We found our dream home thanks to him and could not be more happy with the final outcome!"
"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. 
"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.
"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 recently listed a property with Steven Hill of Sotheby's International Realty. The property was atypical in that it was a rental property on an unserviced acreage within the city limits of Calgary.
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, 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 that 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!
"It is not often that individuals stand out from the crowd.
"It is with pleasure and gratitude that we share comments on our experience with Steven Hill in the listing and sale of our home. While we have bought and sold few houses, we have never before encountered such a level of excellence.
"If you are looking for an awesome Realtor who is trustworthy and demonstrates nothing but professionalism at all times - Steven Hill is the man you are looking for.
"Buying a house really shouldn't be this fun! When we went place shopping, Steven was very helpful and full of humor even at the one terrible condo we went to. Overall, he went above all my expectations and I highly recommend using his services - I've passed his name along to all my friends! I know that in the future I will be using his services to sell and buy."
"We are very impressed by Steven Hill and his professionalism. He walked us through the contract and legal details, ensuring we as first time home buyers fully understood what we were signing. He went above and beyond, working outside of office hours and meeting us at a convenient location. Steven's negotiation skills amazed us well beyond the initial purchase price of the house. The whole purchasing process was very fun and lighthearted and we know we could trust Steven with the largest purchase of our lives. We highly recommend you call Steven to handle your house purchase or sale. We know we will be repeat clients in the future as Steven treated us as if we were close friends."
"I have to say I was a bit apprehensive when I Googled Steven Hill and saw a picture of a handsome young man. Any hesitations I had went out the window during our first meeting with Steven. He was extremely professional, well spoken, knowledgeable and he had a good sense of humor. Right away I felt very comfortable with Steven and knew he was the right realtor for us. What I didn't realize then was just how truly amazing he was going to be.
"When I decided to sell my condo I went through the exercise of interviewing several realtors. Steven you came out on top. You impressed me with your integrity, pure real estate market knowledge and excellent credentials. Especially the fact that you are a Certified Condominium Specialist, which is hard to find in a good realtor and this has proven to be a great asset in my sale.
"I just wanted to write and thank you for the smooth sale of our house.
"As we were toying with the idea of moving Steven was extremely helpful in providing us with information regarding purchasing and selling. He did not push us to go any certain direction. We decided to purchase a house before selling. Once that decision had been made Steven researched the areas we were interested in to see where the market was at. This enabled Steven to aggressively negotiate the best price for the house we purchased. When putting together the offer Steven was knowledgeable as to what conditions should be included and all of the small details. This made the offer process fast and painless. Once the purchase was complete Steven worked with us to get our house on the market as fast as possible. He gave us many great staging tips. Through all of Steven's marketing techniques (MLS, website, mass email to all realtors in Calgary) we were able to have a showing the first day it was on the market. He was also in contact with the realtors after the showings to provide feedback, this was done through a website that we could log onto to review the comments. This was extremely helpful for us as it let us know if there were things that needed to be done in the house that we had overlooked (luckily with Steven's help before we listed we did not need to do any additional work). Steven did an open house to showcase our home. This led to one of two offers that we received. We received two offers in one night. One from the open house and one from clients of Steven. As we reviewed both offers with Steven we decided to go with the one from his clients. This turned out to be a unique situation as Steven was the realtor for both us the seller and the buyer. Steven was very professional and upfront about what information he could provided us and the buyers. He was able help us get an amazing price for our home. Once the sale of our home was complete Steven was prompt in sending all paper work to our lawyer and expediting the paper work from the realtor that we purchased from. In the end the process took about 2 to 3 months. Steven was professional, always on time and prepared for our meetings. Once you meet Steven it is obvious that he is very passionate about his job. We would recommend him to any of our family and friends and if needed in the future use him as our realtor again. He helped us get a great deal on the house we bought and sold our house in about 3 weeks for 99% of our asking price."
"Steven Hill was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire selling process. We were really impressed with Steven’s knowledge and expertise from day one. Even in a tough seller’s market Steven always had a plan to help position our unit’s price and advertising to help us achieve our goal of selling the unit for as much as we could and in a timely manner. Steven was also very impressive when it came to closing the deal (negotiation process) and I feel he was able to save us some money without scaring off an interested buyer. Overall I would strongly recommend Steven to anyone I knew as our experience with him as our agent was fantastic."
"On behalf of our entire family, we wish to thank you for the experience we had having you as our realtor.
"I would like to start off by saying that until last summer I had never met a more professional, honest, and personable Realtor. Steven Hill is one of a very rare breed, someone you can trust to have your best interest at heart. He actually made us feel like we where his only clients. Always having time for anything we needed.
"Working with Steven Hill buying my acreage and selling my home was a great experience.
"When we decided to list our home, we were concerned that the large number of homes and the softening market conditions were going to make the process very difficult and stressful. After interviewing Steven Hill, we were extremely impressed with the highly detailed and area specific data Steven showed us. We were also very impressed with his strategic approach to marketing. Throughout the process, Steven kept us well informed about what was happening in the community, and with all the feedback from the showings. We received 2 offers, and ended up selling our home in less time than we had expected for TOP DOLLAR! We are very impressed with his professionalism, follow through, and the result that he delivered. We highly recommend Steven to anyone who is buying or selling a home!"
"From the first day we sat with Steve right up to possession day on our new home we have been absolutely thrilled with how Steve has helped, guided, and provided valuable insight throughout this entire process.
"Just a little Thank-you for the amazing job done on selling the house. From the very beginning I felt comfortable in my choice of Realtors, you brought me realistic comparables in the area and a real expectation of what my property was worth. Your answers and input into improvements I am sure helped in getting the real value out of this sale. Your marketing strategy speaks for itself, to sell a house in this economy so quickly is an attestation to your commitment and abilities. Communication was exceptional I was always kept in the loop and any calls or e-mails were returned promptly. Very much appreciated as I have been told I can be impatient at times. I look forward to working with you again and would recommend you to anyone looking to buy or sell a property."
"After receiving little serious traffic from our ‘For-Sale-By-Owner’ strategy, Steven offered us a unique model & the support to sell our home in a very short amount of time. Although we had developed great feature sheets and website information ourselves, featuring house specifics, floor plans & pictures, we needed greater exposure & a professional to take over the sale.
"This letter is a reference concerning Mr. Steven Hill of Royal LePage, Calgary, Alberta. We found Steven to be a very nice person, most helpful and pleasant in every way, most efficient and business oriented a credit to his company and his profession. We would recommend him to sell your home or sell a home to you. We were very pleased with his services and dedication in this very tough market and would not hesitate to recommend him as a Realtor and a friend."
