Jim McGlynn, Tiverton, RI
We couldn't be more satisified dealing with Steve Lake. He was so good to us during a very difficult time (passing of our mother) and can't thank him enough. We trusted everything he said and he certainly delivered.

Steve Lake is great. He helped us a lot through the processes and he was always available when I wanted to talk him. I could not ask for a better agent!

Steve was on top of everything and did a great job helping solve all of the problems that came up. I believe we wouldn't have sold it for what we did without his guidence.

Stephen Lake was excellent in all areas of communication and very professional. He was efficient in finding homes that where in my price range and location, and able to communicate well even though I was in another state. Also, his knowledge and understanding of the area was incredibly helpful, this helped me make a decision on this home and how this area, neighborhood will work for me. His negotiation skills and attitude were effective for the buyer and I to come to a agreement on the purchase prices and closing date.
I have recommended family members to him, for their future purchases....
