“I am very thankful that I was referred to Steve. I am from Texas so finding the right property could have potentially been very stressful. He made my trips to Durango efficient and he was very patient with the ever changing qualities I was looking for in some land. This was my first real estate purchase and he explained the process very well and kept me informed at all times during the negotiation process. Probably the most important aspect of his service was his ability to negotiate with the s…

I’m sitting here in my new home we’re all moved in, and I can believe how easy this was for me and my family. I first heard about Steve and Kathy from one of my co-workers. He had mentioned he was a first time home buyer and how he was getting ready to move into his new house over the weekend. I asked him a few questions about his experience. He simply stated when you are ready and would like to work with a professional; there is a person who you should meet. He handed me Steve’s card, and the n…

Dear Steve and Kathy, Ron and I want to thank you for continuing to show us properties for the 3+ years it took to make a purchase. You were so quick to get our questions answered and keep us informed.  We enjoyed our time with you and appreciate your help. Thanks, Ron and Nancy Knaack

“Steve and Kathy have the patience of saints, with great determination. They were able to assist us in finding a financing option for our dream home despite great challenges. We appreciated their skill and foresight in being prepared for any obstacles that were thrown at us. Steve and Kathy are a great team and surround themselves with folks who get the job done. We will most certainly recommend them to other buyers!” Kenn, Mary and Jayne Bates

As a new home buyer I was a very nervous about buying a home. I was not exactly sure how things worked or even how to start. I was so grateful to have found Kathy and Steve, they supported me every step in buying my home. They made feel comfortable, answered all my questions and most of all they never pressured me to buy. I needed to take the time and they gave me that time. Steve would talk through the pros and cons of each property and really spend time with me. Steve and Kathy are profess…

We purchased a home in Durango though we live in the Phoenix area. It was a wonderful experience with the Setkas. They assisted us in finding everything from inspectors, to contractors, to a mortgage. They were friendly and helpful, but most importantly to us they showed great integrity. If we were to purchase another property in Durango, we would definitely contact the Setkas first.

Hi Steve, We’ve been impressed with the job you have been doing for us!  We would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone we know looking for a Realtor/Broker/Mortgage Loan Originator. Your combination of skills is really an asset to buying a home.  Adelle Anderson

We just purchased a townhome in Durango and couldn’t be happier! Steve and Kathy were so helpful throughout the entire process. We live in Austin and couldn’t physically be there for the inspection, closing, etc., and they took care of everything in the most timely and professional manner creating a stress free experience. Steve got us a great deal and we couldn’t be more satisfied with the service provided. We highly recommend the Setkas if you are looking for a property in the area. They a…

“We found Steve and Kathy to be very knowledgeable about the area and the different areas that might appeal to us. They did an excellent job researching properties in our price range and when it came time to make an offer and execute a contract, they were extremely thorough. Steve took the time to go through the contract/offer with us step by step and added some things to the contract to protect our interests. Steve and Kathy were committed and helpful throughout the entire process and I would h…

Thank you so much for helping us learn about the home buying process and going house hunting with us! Kathy, thank you for all of your hard work getting the financing in place for us. Steve, thank you for all of your “first-time homebuyer” advice – we needed it. Thank you both for helping us get our dream cabin in the wood!
