Stephen Checca

A nearly lifelong resident of the North Shore of Long Island, living in Oyster Bay Cove and Glen Cove, Stephen has lived in Syosset for over twenty-five years with his wife and three children. A graduate of the Virginia Military Institute, Stephen owned and managed The Travel Chest, Inc., a retail travel agency in Locust Valley for more than twenty-two years. Through his entrepreneurial spirit and keen business acumen, he developed a divergent and loyal client base, including Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, numerous celebrities as well as successful businesspeople throughout the New York metropolitan area. His community involvement includes coaching youth soccer and Little League basebal. Additionally, Stephen spearheaded and coached the first youth baseball team ever to represent Syosset Little League in the annual Cooperstown Dreams Park Tournament~~~ 2016 will be Syosset's 13th consecutive year of participation. As a veteran of the real estate industry since 2001, which began as a principal in a mortgage based company, Stephen's enthusiasm for his work, integrity and expertise in real estate arena has ranked him as one of the top brokers with the highest customer satisfaction. Stephen prides himself in putting his buyers and sellers at ease by: "Know your market, research, be creative, be a good listener to understand the needs of his clients and customers". This philosophy has consistently made him a top producer year after year. When representing a seller, he works diligently to achieve the desired end result. However, when he is working with buyers, he has chosen to offer 'Buyers Agency'. Therefore, he is able to provide a level of service to his buyers, as an agent who advocates on their behalf, instead of the seller's (without a Buyer Agency's Agreement, agents work directly or indirectly for, and in, the best interest of, the seller). A Buyer's Agent Agreement becomes of great value to the purchaser. Stephen will show his commitment to your real estate needs with the same professional, personal and courteous service that he has afforded all his clients throughout his career.
