Great Experience
Working with Steve was a great experience and I can’t recommend him highly enough! He’s knowledgeable, responsive, kind, and incredibly patient (helpful for indecisive, first-time homebuyers!) Every house we visited Steve was already familiar with the history and it was clear he has a great understanding of the Ithaca market. Always felt like Steve had my back

Great to Work With
Steve was so great to work with on selling our home! He provided us with fantastic advice on projects to focus on when getting ready to sell, was very available when we had questions, and took on all of the stress from the process so we didn’t have to (not an easy feat!). He is the consummate professional with great local knowledge and keen negotiating skills. I’ve bought and sold 5 homes over several years and Steve is the best realtor I’ve worked with, hands down.

Highly Personable
Steve superbly sold my house. He is highly personable, known in the community, and knows local real estate activity and trends. His advice on details was remarkably accurate – assessment of price based on recently sold homes, timing of placement on the market, moving logistics, final house presentation, and market promotion. The house sold in 3 days and was bid up by multiple offers.

Knowledgeable
I do not often write online recommendations but had such great service with Steve that I felt like I had to. I have bought and sold several homes throughout my life and have never had an agent like Steve. He was knowledgable, friendly, and available whenever I had questions. Although he had many other clients, he always made my husband and I feel like we were his only! He got our house sold quickly and for the price we wanted. We even had multiple offers – he handled everything with professionalism and had great patience explaining the process to us. I highly recommend Steve Saggese if you are looking for a great Realtor in the Ithaca area.

Steve helped my wife and I buy and sell a home during our brief stay in Ithaca. His knowledge of both the real estate market and the local vibe was invaluable during our search. We have moved around the states numerous times and if I could bring him along on everyone of our purchases I would do so. Highly recommend!!

Extremely Knowledgeable
Steve was extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of buying and selling a home in the Ithaca area. We sold our home relatively fast and then had to secure a new home and close that at the same time. We expected the process to be very stressful but Steve’s expertise and experience made our lives so much easier. Truly a positive and wonderful experience. Highly recommend!!

Great agent
We had been online searching for a real estate agent in Ithaca for a few months before we moved to Ithaca and we really connected with Steve. We only had a few days to find a house when we relocated to Ithaca and we were absolutely clueless about the neighborhoods, schools, lenders, inspectors and just the local process itself. Steve was with us from beginning to end and never left us feeling in the dark. Great agent!

Cannot say enough good things
I would highly recommend Steve! I sold and bought a house with Steve and cannot say enough good things about him. He continuously impressed me with his thoroughness, knowledge and follow up. I have heard that selling and buying can be extremely trying but my experience was fantastic and I owe that to Steve. A great person and an amazing Realtor. After having several less than great experiences, I am happy i have finally found an agent I can recommend!
