Advice From Steve – Moving To Durango

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… Read more

Steve (and Kathy) were fantastic!  I am from Texas and found Steve while looking for an agent.  Most importantly, he knew his stuff.  I have negotiated multi-million-dollar deals so I knew complexity could be a challenge.  Not for Steve and Kathy.  From market analysis to small details- Steve always had incredibly helpful input.  He was very responsive and patient as we navigated the real estate market.  We (eventually) found a great property and the closing went by smoother than I antici… 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.

Steve and Kathy, You sure made the home buying process fun and doable.  Thanks for all your positivity and expertise in getting it to happen!  Sincerely, Jean Hess

“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.
