Steve McKenna & The Home Advantage Team, Gibson Sotheby's International Realty

"Steve McKenna and his team sold our house in Arlington in April/May 2024. Steve was patient and clear explaining each critical stage of the sale process. The team was so easy to work with, viewings, staging, cleaning and painting were all organized for us. We sold the house in the first weekend after careful consideration and negotiation of all offers. Then as the transaction went through Steve gave us regular updates and helpful referrals to a lawyer and other realtors out of state to look for a new home. He was even able to negotiate a rent back clause to allow more time in our home. The whole team were brilliant, polite, efficient and providing expertise as we looked into potential areas to move to. Mark ran the open house smoothly. Mitzi was a pleasure to work with on transaction elements and Steve, well there is a reason he is number 1 in Arlington, he’s really good at his job and knows the market inside out."

"Steve McKenna assisted me with my first home purchase about 5 years ago. I must have asked him to show me 50 houses., over the course of a couple years....and he did! Steve was kind and patient with me the entire time. Most importantly, Steve and his team are trustworthy. Steve let me know when he thought something was a bad move. He gave me advice on the types of things I should be looking for and focusing on. It was clear to me that he wasn't just trying to get me to buy any house. I truly felt he wanted to help me find the PERFECT house. Night or day he was available to answer any and all questions. Then in 2024, Steve and his team also helped me sell my first home. My husband and I left town for our honeymoon, and Steve and his team handled EVERYTHING for us, all while keeping us informed. Selling my first home was an emotional rollercoaster, and Steve was there to help me through it the entire way with patience, kindness and professionalism. Steve is also extremely helpful when it comes to answering questions about home improvements, etc. In working with Steve and his team, my mom, dad, and brothers have had the exact same experience. There is nobody else that I would trust to help me with my home purchase/sale, and I would recommend Steve and his entire team to anyone looking to buy and/or sell a home."

"I can't speak highly enough about Steve and Kristen McKenna. They truly exceeded our expectations when it came to selling our home. From start to finish, their professionalism and commitment showed through every phase of the process. The listing they created was exceptional, accompanied by stunning photos that showcased our home beautifully and walked the potential buyers through the space from the front door to the top floor. We received real-time updates via text messages about scheduled viewings, which kept us well-informed and prepared. During showings, Steve and Kristen maintained a clean and respectful environment even when the weather wasn’t cooperating. Their attention to detail extended to the thoughtful placement of professionally designed brochures of the listing, which set them apart from other agents who would normally have loose printouts. Lastly, Steve handled all communications with buyers seamlessly, addressing any issues that arose with professionalism and expertise. I enthusiastically recommend Steve and his team to anyone considering buying or selling their home. Their dedication and outstanding service made a potentially stressful process remarkably smooth and successful for us."

"Steve McKenna and Annie Kelly, supported by their creative stager Kathleen and their skilled office team, assisted us every step of the way in selling our parents’ condo in Arlington. This was admittedly an emotional and stressful time for our family. Steve and Annie were compassionate and calming through the entire process, from our first meeting with them until the day of the closing. Their extensive market analysis was professionally presented and far more in-depth than any I’d ever seen. Steve and Annie empowered us to make decisions based on our needs and timetables, yet offered valuable suggestions to guide us throughout. We emailed them regularly with questions both important and trivial; all were answered promptly and respectfully. Their keen insight into the current unpredictable market, informed by years of experience, resulted in a perfectly executed marketing strategy. We are forever grateful!"

"If you are looking for someone professional, honest, that makes your real estate venture as easy as possible look no further than Steve McKenna and his Home Advantage Team! We had seen Steve's name around the Arlington area and read the reviews online but they failed to cover the level of care and expertise we received. We started with a market analysis from two different agents. We were given ideas and suggestions but felt a greater level of confidence with Steve's proposal. We began with prepping the house with getting it ready it for sale. Steve made suggestions that were helpful in preparation for our home that would optimize the sale of our property. We did the things inside and outside our home. He had a professional team come in and make sure that everything looked immaculate for the open house. The open house was set for a weekend and a few days later several solid offers within came in...in less than a week. ALL of the offers were above our initial asking price and were clean solid offers with preapproved financing. These offers came in I while I was out of town but my husband was still at home in Arlington. Steve presented the offers over a Zoom and kept me in the loop and made sure we had all the factors to consider and could make an informed choice. We did and we the process was far more simple then any other transaction I'd experienced. We were so grateful for the ease of process and the professionalism of the team. In conclusion, once the sale was over the relationship was NOT. We were invited to a customer appreciation day at Kimball Farms and we brought our Grandchildren and had an amazing day. When we moved to our new home out of state, Steve's team sent us a welcome to our new home gift. The team was responsive, professional, kind and when we had questions or concerns we received a return call or message almost immediately and never waited longer than a couple of hours. The marketing, headaches of the transaction were taken away, and process was all taken care of by this exceptional team...THANK YOU STEVE McKENNA & THE HOME ADVANTAGE TEAM, Gibson Sotheby's International!"
