Steve was wonderful to work with. Answered any questions we had, was thorough and very responsive. We’ve bought and sold with Steve and both times he was exceptional.

Steve Shanus was very thorough and the whole process went extremely smoothly. He was already working with a buyer who was looking for a home in my area. He came up with a creative plan and both parties came away happy, without any pressure. I would certainly recommend him.

From market analysis to settlement, Steve was available every step of the way. He spent time reviewing all the seller documents that I had to sign, explained how the marketing and showing process would work, engaged an extremely proficient photographer, demonstrated the showing "app" and discussed options when presenting the offers. Despite several setbacks on the buyers end, he kept me informed in a timely manner and provided encouragement through the entire process. I would highly recommend his services to any of my former neighbors in Green Acres.

Steve is a great agent that provided my husband and i with the knowledge we needed in order to make the best decisions to successfully get the house that we wanted. In a tough market it cannot go without saying how important a good real estate agent that understands the market and the area is, and you cannot do much better than Steve when it comes to the North Wilmington market.

Steve Shanus is one the most caring and kind real-estate agents that I have met. He truly cares about his clients. He is now on the third generation of clients in our family. He has seen us through life events and moments as we've grown in and out of homes and businesses. The key component is that he cares as if you were a family member. He is not out to just make a sale. He listens to what you are looking for in your home or business. He doesn't just find you a dwelling he finds your home or business that resonates with your vision. He always answers your calls and will talk you off the ledge when you're feeling as if you can't find what you really want and are ready to make a decision that doesn't align with your vision because your becoming impatient. So glad he did because I'm now in a home that makes me feel happy every day. I personally would trust no one else to my real-estate needs. He is truly a go the extra mile agent for his customers. I'm truly grateful for professionalism, detail to his job. Most importantly he cares about his clients. It's a rare thing in the fast paces world we live in.

Steve’s knowledge of the market, especially in a crazy unknown time, helped us sell our house quickly and with offers that exceeded our expectations. On top of that, 1 day prior to closing we had an issue that could have derailed the entire deal. Steve stepped in and was able to manage this and still get the deal done with very minimal impact.

We met Steve Shanus when he helped our son with his first time homebuyer experience. Steve is friendly, personable, knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor. We were so pleased with the way Steve handled our son’s home search and R.E. transaction that we knew Steve would be our choice of agents. We listed our house with Steve Shanus at Patterson Schwartz, and it’s sold the very first day. Steve did a fantastic job at guiding us through getting the Home ready for sale. We would highly recommend Steve to anyone looking to sell or purchase a home.

Settling my Mother's estate and selling her home was an emotional time for me. I had limited time to prepare the house for listing since I live out of state. Steve Shanus was very understanding in assisting with this task. His experience in general and his knowledge of the Green Acres/Wilmington market was invaluable. He was always available for any questions or explanations of the process. It was a pleasure to work with Steve and have everything go smoothly. I hope the exemplary service Steve provides is an example for all your realtors.

Steve Shanus was great. He gave insightful advice to prepare our home for sale, and also advised the right timing to get our house on the market. Showing the house as early as possible, even though we were still living in it, proved to be the right decision. We received a surprisingly large number of requests to show (as many as 6 showings in one day). It took less than a week to receive an offer $15k over asking. We couldn't have asked for more.

I would highly recommend Steve. Besides being a neighbor (i.e., he knew the neighborhood very well), I found him to be very honest, conscientious and available whenever I had questions or concerns. In many cases, he did prior work before our discussions so he could give meaningful feedback. Although we had a few setbacks with sellers, he was always forthright and clear about everything that would occur. Because of this, I developed a trust in Steve that alleviated any concerns I had during the selling process. I had other options from friends who offered to help me sell my house, but I'm very happy that I chose to work with Steve. I am very grateful for his help and support.

Steve's worked tirelessly on behalf of my sisters and me as we prepared our parents' home for sale, put it on the market, received sale offers, and consulted with buyers' agents. Steve patiently guided us through the hard tasks and offered knowledgeable advice on sales prices and strategies. It was a pleasure to work with such an outstanding, experienced agent.

Steve has worked with us for many years. We attempted to sell our home twice several years ago but timing or buying a new home fell through. Yet Steve was always there to help with advice and support. He’s an excellent and very experienced agent who has become a friend not a salesman. Don’t let him get away.

We face some real challenges, but thanks to Steve's experience, perseverance and follow-thru, he got us across the finish line. We recommend Steve very highly.

Steve did a wonderful job guiding us through the process of selling our home, and helped us make the most of our time and efforts in marketing the house and bringing it to closing. When the buyer's agent overlooked several items, Steve picked up the pieces to ensure a successful sale. We would highly recommend Steve to anyone selling their home.

Steve did an amazing job representing us with both of our transactions. He demonstrated a fantastic ability to listen to us and advise accordingly. Steve gave us a great deal of his time as we searched for our home, and there was never an occasion when he was not able to align his schedule with ours. Further, his judgement on the market and how we should approach it as buyers, and then sellers, turned out to be spot-on. Steve was everything we could have asked for from an agent.

Steve's patience through multiple offers and rejections allowed us to find our new home. He was available from early in the morning to late at night to take a call about a property that just appeared on the market. Steve planned a Saturday viewing schedule for us and then we changed as we saw other homes move onto the market. He has an outstanding attitude when it comes to making sure he helps you find they correct home, not just a house. Well done!

This is actually the second time I have used Patterson-Schwartz. The first time 21 years ago, the real estate agent went above and beyond the call of duty. But ironically enough, I asked Steve Shanus to assist us in the sale of our home and the purchase of another home at the same time without knowing of his affiliation with your company. Once again, superior service. Our transaction evolved into something more complicated, and Steve showed his wisdom, experience, and patience in guiding us through it. To give you an idea of how complicated it got with a VA loan, we will be closing on selling our home after having purchased the home you are asking about with your survey. I wouldn't hesitate a moment to recommend Steve to another client.

Terri Preston

Buying and selling residential real estate is so important and so legally binding, making the right decisions are crucial. It also can get complicated very quickly. I don't understand why anyone would try to sell a home a home on their own, except for one word: ignorance of what they're getting into, or maybe they are penny wise and on their way to pound foolish. Steve Shanus was a godsend to Terri and I as we transitioned in our lives from the home we raised our children to a 55+ community. But it wasn't as if we just found the home ... Steve showed us 20-25 homes in different areas, including a second walk-through on three homes. At the same time, we were selling our home to our neighbor across the street, and one issue after another arose, dealing with governmental issues, and Steve's experience came shining through. While we didn't have to have any open houses or showings, this matter of selling our house took longer than buying our house. Thanks to Steve and the bank he recommended, we were able to get a bridge loan to ensure our purchase had gotten through. I could go on, and would, too, but my wife and I have a lot of unpacking to do. It's not much fun bumping into stuff at night because things aren't where they used to be.

Steve Shanus has been our Realtor® for more than 20 years. Our family wouldn't trust anyone else with our real estate needs other than Steve. He is one of the best agents we've ever met and can't say enough about the effort he puts into his clients, their needs, the families needs and the outcome. It is more than a sale to him, he understands every aspect that the family is going through when selling/purchasing a home. Steve is attentive, quick to answer questions and extremely professional. He is friendly and caring not only with the family he is representing but with everyone he is working with throughout the process. There are not enough words to describe this agents commitment to his clients. We highly recommend him and hope that he can be recognized by Patterson-Schwartz as an exceptional real estate agent, he is a true asset to the company name.
