Durango Area Schools

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

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… 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.

Thank you for all your work!! You made it super easy for us!!! Desiree Moore

“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… Read more

“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… Read more

Dear Steve and Kathy, It was quite the epic search, and your hard work paid off in the end!  Thanks very much for helping us look at properties with a discerning eye and guiding us through the financing process. We’re very happy with how it all turned out! With our appreciation, Olive and Thomas Holmes

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!

Steve is a wonderful buyer’s agent.  He always took the time to explain the important details of the buying process and the contract.  He was willing to accommodate my hectic schedule, which was very appreciated.  He also listened to my wants and concerns, and he helped me find a home that fit my needs and budget.  I’m very happy with my new home! Susan Bandy

We absolutely love the house; it is such a great property! Thank you and Kathy for all your hard work to find us the right place! I also really appreciate the referrals to local trade persons; everyone has been super nice and are very good in their industry. I appreciate you and will be sure to pass your name along to anyone I can. See you next time we get to Durango! Christie Keith
