Steve Schiffer has been our property manager for a few years now. We have some properties in Kissimmee, Florida and we live in Canada. We've had some bad experiences with previous property managers, but Steve is a breath of fresh air. He continually conducts himself with integrity, there have been no complaints from our tenants, he addresses issues in a timely manner, payments to us have been on time as well, and when it comes time for needed repairs, he's always looking for the best deal. I finally feel confident and secure in our investment decision. So, if you're looking for a property manager in that area, give Steve a call at Olde Town Brokers.

Steve and Eileen far exceeded our expectations. Their knowledge of the area was incredibly helpful in helping us find our perfect home. They went to great lengths to explain every step of the process, and always had our best in interest in mind. They always made themselves available to answer our questions or show us properties. We strongly recommend Steve and Eileen to anyone buying or selling a home in Orlando.

Steve was the perfect realtor for us! We were first time homebuyers in a tough market with a TON of questions. Steve always made us feel like we were his only clients. He is extraordinarily knowledgeable not only about the homebuying process, but also about the Orlando area and Orlando area homes. He was so patient with all of our questions, explaining as many times as we needed until we felt like we fully understood, never making us feel like we were taking too much of his time. We felt so well prepared and confident when we went to closing because Steve had been preparing us all along the way. I was already singing Steve's praises to my friends throughout the process and now that we're in our home I will continue to recommend to anyone looking for a place to call home in the Orlando area.

I have known Steve for years. We have done several deals together and he has also helped my co-workers with relocation to Orlando.

He is extremely reliable and knows the Orlando market. Selling our home was painless, fast and sold at a good price. Highly recommended.

The absolute best!!!! Please look no further, Steve and his sweet wife Eileen are the most amazing realtors and people!! They went SO far above and beyond every step of the way. I will give examples below but if you want the jist of it; you will not be disappointed by their professionalism, ease of doing everything, generosity, style, and overall likable nature. I would recommend them a thousand times.

The basics: They helped us stage our house while keeping functional aspects in tact so we could actually live in it while it was on the market. They were creative and the pictures they got of the house were beautiful and professional (you know the kind that make you question if you actually want to sell lol). Steve gave detailed, honest, data-driven feedback every step of the way. Steve was always on top of communication, letting us know feedback from showings and updates before we ever had to reach out and ask.

I could go on and on but here are 2 over and above examples for your reference!
We used Steve to sell our condo and it was not an easy task; from the very opinionated buyers, our building association, selling during COVID, etc. I was so stressed during the entire process but Steve took it all in stride and made it look easy.
EX 1: Right when we were about to close, the buyers decided on some additional requests and we ended up putting money in escrow until we figured it out. After a month of the buyer being obnoxious (IMO) I thought I would never see that money. But Steve incredibly (again, this is AFTER we were closed and technically Steve's job was completely done and his money secured) stuck through and meticulously worked with the buyers, vendors, manufacturers, and our building to get the issue sorted out. He met vendors at the house several times to make sure the job was done correctly. I mean, seriously, he spoke on the phone with the manufacturer of the batteries for our blinds on multiple occasions to get them programmed properly and the correct equipment ordered. Add that to his list of expertise now! ;)
EX 2: There was another issue where the buyers said our convection oven wasn't working because the fan was "not on". On a Friday night, Steve and his wife sat in front of their convection oven while my husband and I sat in front of ours timing that dang fan to show that it was, in fact, working and apparently turning on and off is all part of the convection oven swag.

I am sure there are more examples I could cite but you get the point! Steve is awesome and I would highly recommend him!!! Thank you so much Steve & Eileen for being so helpful, selfless, and professional.

Steve and Eileen helped us sell our condo in downtown Orlando recently. We are tough clients because I'm a commercial broker and real estate lawyer. However, I can honestly say their service was exemplary and surpassed my expectations.
What I appreciated most is that they made the process incredibly convenient for us and took extra steps many other Realtors don't but should. For instance, Steve actually took time to buy and then replace a missing vent cover in the guest bathroom, they gave us great advice on what to repair and how much it would cost (they obtained estimates) and always went above and beyond regardless of what issue arose during the sales process or closing. They did this eagerly and never once made us feel like we were a burden (even though as I mentioned we are not easy clients).
The listing itself could not have been better. Eileen is a pro at staging and really transformed the unit with her own accessories (at no extra charge to us). They had professional photographs taken and even used a drone for some really cool video from our unit’s balcony. When we saw our listing we were blown away and almost decided not to sell it looked so good! The listing looked amazing and knocked out the competition, the third or 4th buyer that saw the property put in an offer and closed on it.
Although we didn’t need it as much, I know Steve and Eileen’s knowledge of the contract, contingencies and procedures and closing process would be invaluable to a new or inexperienced home buyer. We had a minor hiccup at the 11th hour before closing, mainly over a matter of principle at that moment (I can be very stubborn) and they handled it graciously and calmly even though I’m certain they thought we were less than smart to potentially blow the deal at that point. In any event, we closed and it couldn't have been a more pleasant experience.
I’ve recommended Eileen and Steve to anyone that mentions a real estate matter and I don’t do this lightly. They are true professionals and just genuinely nice people to boot, you could not go wrong with them as your Realtors.

I haven't been a homeowner for about a decade so I needed a refresher in the process. Steve was incredibly thorough every step of the way. He is very experienced in the process and knew the target area very well. He handled the negotiations very well and stayed on top of the lenders all the way to closing. He communicated often and made sure I was doing my part as well. I highly recommend Steve Schiffer!

I am writing this to provide a 100% recommendation of realtor Steve Schiffer. We began working with Steve about seven months prior to finding our first dream home. As first time home buyers we had virtually no knowledge of the process we were getting into. Throughout, despite many offers not being selected, Steve stood by us and always helped us look on the bright side. Whenever we worried that we were a nuisance Steve assured us that ‘this’ is what he is here for - to help his clients successfully purchase a home. He was available whenever we had questions and/or found new homes to add to our list. When we visited a site he was a wealth of information and welcomingly blunt in his assessment of properties. We already know that when we decide to purchase again we will be using Steve. As an aside our final purchase literally coincided with the 17 day early birth of our first child. Our signing was set to occur two days after her birth and we literally left the hospital and went straight to sign for the house. Steve worked closely during that time with our title company to secure a time that would work for the involved parties. To say it was stressful for us would be an understatement but Steve helped to mitigate those stressors. We cannot recommend him enough. He is hardworking, incredibly intelligent and skilled, and kind. You could not ask for a more adept realtor.

Home buying is so stressful.... Steve made it easy... he is a great listener and knows what you want or what you might like before you do! He made sure to show us all different types and ages of homes... from new builds to 20 plus years so that we could see all our options. Thank goodness he did.... we ended up having to buy a home without seeing it due to COVID-19. Steve met the inspector and did a FaceTime walk through of the entire home with us! Based on the time he had spent with us he shared that the home would be a 9.5 out of 10 for us.... he was correct! Moving from the Northeast home buying and ownership is a little different in Florida (title companies not attorneys.... pests, mold etc.) Steve can help with anything and if he did not know.... you had an answer quickly! Our family cannot thank him enough.

Steve and his wife Eileen are top-notch. They are an incredible married realty duo. My family has worked with them over the past 4 years (twice to find a home and once to sell). They recently were able to get our home under contract in less than 2 weeks in the middle of a pandemic, and we were able to make a profit on our sale. They worked with us every step of the way to get our home market-ready. They are extremely responsive, professional, and friendly. They are such a pleasure to work with and don’t pressure to make decisions. They are our realty team for life!

We worked with Steve and Eileen selling our house in the middle of a worldwide pandemic. They were extremely professional in handling the sale and we could not be happier with the result. We highly recommend this team.

I have worked with Steve for several years and have had an excellent experience. I would highly recommend him if you are looking to have peace of mind in someone else handling the renting of your home or selling. He has done both for my home to what I would consider the best of customer service. I appreciate the years of service and all the help, recommendations and support. Do yourself a favor and call him. You won't be disappointed.

Steve earned my trust and respect for his efforts that went above and beyond over the course of 2 sales and 1 purchase and 12 years of property management. He is professional and makes great sacrifices to make sure the deal is right, and it gets done. His experience and practical way of dealing with all the parties to a transaction is beyond measure.

If you’re looking for someone who is experienced, knowledgeable, dependable, and responsive than Steve is your guy. He has been a huge blessing to my wife and I on our first home buy. He made the experience seamless and stress free. I would definitely recommend him to all my family and friends or anyone in central Florida!

Steven was representing my buyer, but when I hit issues as the seller, he came to my assistance and talked me through! Ended up getting a deal between the buyer and I and avoiding a lot of chaos. Highly recommended!

Steven was great throughout the entire transaction! As a first time home buyer, it was great having him as a resource and I was extremely impressed with how quickly he replied to my questions & concerns. He went above and beyond to ensure the transaction kept moving along on all fronts & for that I am thankful for making this a smooth purchase.

Steve has been by FAR a HUGE blessing to my Husband and I. From helping us find a rental, which we did right away, to then helping us transition into buying our first home, he was there from beginning to end. He even helped with issues that had to do with the rental we had in speaking with the property manager for us when issues arose, since we did not know the laws. He spent day and night helping us for almost 2 years, to find the perfect first home, he studied what we liked, didn’t like, area we wanted to stay in, and he even helped us literally line for line during the loan process, when he did not have to. He and his wife both poured their hearts into my husband and I and we feel that he has been a true blessing in our lives. We built a lifelong business relationship with he and Eileen and I would recommend him to anyone and everyone looking top purchase their home. Steve, thank you just isnt enough for what you have done for both Austin and I. We appreciate everything, and we are sad to not speak to you every single day during the hunting process, even after hours, you made sure to be there every step of the way. Thank you for everything and for helping us to not only get our 1st home, but our DREAM HOME!
