If you are buying a house, or even thinking about buying a house, start with Jeff. He'll tell you what finances and paperwork you need to get done, when, and in what order. He will be honest with you throughout -- always direct and never smarmy. He will return every call and text. He will help you understand the whole process, even the stuff you didn't know that you didn't know. He'll send you matches through the app and respond to your comments so when you are finally ready, he knows what you're looking for. Jeff will take you to see houses and will teach you about looking for water in the basement, checking out drainage and the foundation, warning signs and potential 'challenges', as well as being able to answer your questions about septic vs cesspool, how much electric you really need, sussing out if there is gas on the street (for a later stove conversion), and telling you how old the roof is just by looking at it. And any other questions you might have! If he doesn't know the answer, he will find out. He is so thorough and eagle-eyed that you can get excited about the hardwood floors and eat-in kitchen, knowing that Jeff will spot EVERYthing you need to be aware of. He's also really personable which helps when you're spending entire weekend days with someone. We had one crushing disappointment along the way -- not his fault -- and Jeff's straightforward "Okay, that's in the past, let's move forward" attitude was key in getting us right back out there (and we found our house THAT weekend.) He will guide you through the entire process, through closing, and make you feel -- the whole time -- pretty much like you are his only client. Once you close, and you need an electrician, a floors guy, a painter, whatever, Jeff 'has a guy' and if he doesn't, he won't quit until he finds you someone. We would use Jeff again in a second and wholeheartedly recommend him!

If you are looking for a realtor who will go above and beyond then you absolutely need to hire Jeff Stineback! He is a consummate professional who truly cares about his clients and treats you like you're part of the family. I hired Jeff to purchase our home on Long Island back in 2018 while PCSing there from California. He lined up homes for me to see when I flew out for a week to see properties in person & ended up finding us a wonderful house in a safe neighborhood that suited our needs for the 4 years my spouse was stationed there. When my spouse got orders taking us away from Long Island this year I knew right away we had to hire Jeff again to sell the same home, and he did a fantastic job! Coordinating a cross-country military move while simultaneously selling & purchasing houses is extremely nerve-wracking, but Jeff was there every step of the way to soothe my nerves and make the process as smooth as possible. Thank you for all your hard work, Jeff. We will miss working with you!
