Steve is very knowledgeable, honest, and thorough with listing and selling our condo. He made the whole process as painless as possible. I would definitely use him to sell and repurchase and highly recommend him.
It was great working with Steve. He provided expert guidance regarding the upgrades and work that needed to be done on our older home before putting it on the market. We obtained multiple offers and Steve made the entire process run smoothly before closing on a deal well above the asking price. He was quick to respond to any inquiries and kept us up to date during the entire process. I would highly recommend Steve if you have any real estate needs.
My father passed away several years ago and I have been renting his house since then. After the tenant left this summer I decided it was time to sell, and a close friend recommended Steve Shanks who he has known for many years. I really don't have words to do justice to the time, effort, attention-to-deal, responsiveness, wisdom, etc that Steve brings to the table, but what follows is my feeble attempt. This was an older house, built in 1956, that required some improvements and repairs. Steve handled all of this and scheduled the necessary work with over a dozen different contractors that he knows. Everyone completed the work on schedule at a reasonable cost. When all the work was done and the house was listed we had multiple offers the first day and we closed escrow about two weeks later. Now, with the benefit of hindsight, there is nothing I would have done differently. The entire sell…

So if you are looking for an agent I would give Mr. Shanks an A+ recommendation and you can later send me a thank you note.
Steve was an absolute dream of an ally during the emotionally complicated sale of a property with a lot of sentimental value. Smart, caring, knowledgeable, and collaborative, he provided the astute and thoughtful support along with the sharp business acumen we needed to accept an offer above a well-researched asking price. Thanks, Steve!
