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 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… Read more

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.
