Stephen is more than just the best realtor. He is a great friend and life coach. He put the needs of our family first and delivered with the sale of our home. When it comes to the real estate market, he is at the top of the game with professionalism, flexibility, and timing.

Stephen was instrumental in selling my condo. He is extremely detail oriented and knowledgeable of the market. He knew how to position it, and knew exactly when to make and changes necessary to facilitate the sale. He took the time to understand my needs and timelines, and delivered perfectly.

Stephen Raffaelli is a realtor who knows his stuff. When I made the decision to sell my house, I didn't hesitate to call him up. He guided me step by step through the whole process and negotiated with the buyers to come to a fair deal for both parties. He was always quick to answer any questions or give advice. I felt confident selling my house knowing he was there to help. I would recommend you give him a chance if you decide to buy or sell a home.

Stephen Raffaelli did an exceptional job in helping me identify, work closely with a strong local lender to ensure a great loan, negotiated fair terms, and purchase my new home in this fast paced Virginia Marketplace. I was lucky to have a highly skilled Realtor, like Stephen on my side. I encourage you to do similar!

A true partnership
Steve was more than our realtor...he was our partner. He truly went over and above in helping us sell our home after we had already moved out of the area. He absolutely went above and beyond and helped make the task of selling our home a really seamless effort.

Stephen was a amazing guide through selling our fathers house. Everything hit us unexpected but through the start of clearing everything out to the end he provided us support and advice! I can't wait to work with you on purchasing a place to call my home next!! Thank you again for helping my siblings and I.

Working with Stephen Raffaelli was a fantastic experience! He was very patient with me and my family as we worked through getting our property ready to sell. Throughout the entire experience he explained everything thoroughly and answered all of my questions (and there were A LOT!) quickly and professionally. He helped us I will definitely be using Stephen for my future real estate needs and would highly recommend him for anyone looking to do so.

Steve is an outstanding realtor. He helped my wife and I find our first home despite us being new to the area and in the midst of the pandemic. Steve was very attentive to our wants and needs and stayed in communication with us throughout the process. He never tired of our calls or texts, he fought for us, and he got us our perfect house! I cannot recommend Steve highly enough!

Steve has been great from beginning to almost the end. He has been nothing but supportive since we decided to put our house on the market. He gave us great tips on how to stage our home and how to prepare for the home inspection. He has been super patient with us in visiting multiple houses in search of our new home. Even with buying our new home, he keeps us posted with every little detail and explains things to us in laymen's terms so we are not overwhelmed by real estate jargon. It's been a stressful but fun experience and we're anxious to close in on our new home soon.

Steve is already an incredible realtor; friendly, patient, thorough, thoughtful, professional, and an absolute SUPERHERO during the contract & closing phase. Following through on purchasing a home during the COVID-19 crisis was harrowing and anxiety-inducing, but Steve was with me every step of the way. I would not be a happy homeowner now if he had not gone to bat for me during the contract & closing process, and he knocked it out of the park!!! Very happy with my experience and I hope to work with him again in the future; already referring him to friends of mine!

Stephen is a true professional. As a fist time home buyer Stephen walked me through the process and made me feel comfortable with my purchase. Any questions that I had he had an answer. I never felt like I was out of the loop in the process and that my voice and opinion was heard - which is extremely important when you are putting down a lump some of money!

The best part about Stephen was his patience and response time. He wasn’t rushing me into a decision and was always reachable. Even two weeks after I purchased the property Stephen continues to reach out to me to make sure everything is ok - you can’t get a better real estate agent than that!

I highly recommend Stephen to any first time homebuyers in the area. I’m surely going to be working with him again on my next purchase!

Hands down one of the best realtors I have worked with. Steve’s effective strategy in vesting the time upfront to understand your needs, the property, approach to market and the team he has in place truly made this a seamless transaction. Every aspect was covered from A to Z with each team member having a targeted task & strategy to quickly market/rent the property... I could not be more pleased as the property rented within a couple of weeks from listing and the team really made the entire process stress free. Thanks again Steve & team!

My husband and I had an amazing experience working with Steve...we were looking for a rental and he gave the same time and effort as if we were looking to purchase. He is knowledgeable, communicates, and fought for us to get into a beautiful home in old town. Listen to his advice and you will be successful, too.

Steve provided excellent suggestions as we were preparing to put our house on the market. With his advice, we were able to stage the house so that is would show it’s true potential and feel welcoming to prospective buyers. He helped us decide on a fair price and within two minutes of our decision to accept bids, we had a full-price offer! Whether you’re in the market to sell or buy, Steve is your go-to guy in the DMV.

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!

Stephen partnered with me for the long game. He worked with me for many months as we worked with the owners who were not quite yet ready to sell. Eventually, the owners came to understand that it really was time to sell. In the end, they were very happy and I had a home in an area I loved but where I had believed I could never own my own home. Thanks again, Stephen.

Steve’s easily the best agent we’ve ever dealt with. His attention to detail and availability at all times of the day is something we’ve never seen before. He is an expert negotiator that delivers amazing results when he is working for you. In the past he’s helped us buy a property and rent a property very quickly with great success. Would recommend him to everyone.

As a real estate Broker and owner of an office I expect the clients I refer to another agent to receive exceptional service. This is even more important when the client is a close personal friend. This was the case with a buyer, who is like a daughter to me and who's husband is in the Army (as is my son).

I made contact with Stephen Raffaelli. Stephen is a true real estate professional. He quickly found the buyer's a home they loved and negotiated a great deal. He was with them every step of the way, making sure all inspections were completed and all issues were resolved by the seller. He arranged for the seller to credit buyer with an increased credit towards closing costs and found a special program saving them additional money on the loan.

I could go on and on, but suffice it to say the family is extremely satisfied with the way Stephen handled the transaction and are now happy home owners. That makes me a happy Broker who will have no hesitation in referring future clients to Stephen Raffaelli.

Steve always goes above and beyond to help me out - whether it's an early phone call on the weekend because I'm locked out, or helping me find a mover, he always does what he can to lend a hand. For someone moving to a new city, it helps to feel like you've got someone on your side and that, for me, was Steve. Thank you!

Awesome experience working with Steve. As first time home buyers he guided us through the process with such care and ease. He was patient and willing to travel as far out as Frederick MD to see homes with us. He took a lot of time to explain each step of the process. His communication was excellent—he made us feel like we were his only clients. He puts his clients first, is personable, caring, thoughtful and dedicated to finding the right home for his families.

Raff is the best realtor in the world. He takes the time to go over every detail about your home to ensure it will sell fast. I have worked with him to sell 3 homes (one of which was not in a desirable location) all 3 homes sold within 2 weeks of being listed! When purchasing a home he really gets a feel for what you're interested in and goes the extra mile to find the home that meets your needs for the perfect price!! When looking to buy, sell or rent your home Stephen Raffaelli is your guy! Seriously, do not look anywhere else for a realtor, he is the best!!

An incredible mind for both buyers and sellers. Researches not only the neighborhood but surrounding neighborhoods for comparable listings and always get the sellers price +. Spares no expense in getting the houses exposed to potential buyers. The most determined agent I've ever worked with.

I have never used a realtor before but Stephen made the experience seemless and understandable for the lay person such as myself. He is located in Souther Virginia and came/drove all the way up to Baltimore 3 months ago when I moved to meet me and show me multiple places as I had a short time to move and start work.
He went out of his way also to tell me the best places to eat in the area and still continues to help me today when I reach out to him with questions about my current living situation etc...

Stephen could not have been more caring and helpful in my quest for a new home. He was so available to me whenever I had questions. It took us a few months, to find just the right home..but now I have the perfect home for me. He even pulled me out of my comfort zone, looking at homes he wanted me to consider, for architectural design etc. (or over my budget...just to see). It was well worth the wait; I have the perfect home on the perfect street. Thanks to the " Perfect Realtor"; Stephen Raffaelli.

Steve was simply amazing!! He went above and beyond any real-estate broker I've ever used (I've had 5 others during the past 20 years). He worked extremely hard to obtain everything that we wanted for a house and we got our "dream" house for a very fair price. He also rented our other house within 2 days and got exactly (if not more) than what we had expected to receive for rent. If I could give him more stars (higher than 5 stars) I would!!
