I selected Steve Martin Smith to sell my house in Stoneybrook at Venice based on his marketing expertise and solid plan to market my property. My confidence was justified, as Steve sold my house within 60 days at one of the highest prices within the 1,800-home development. Steve also aided me in finding just the right development in which to build a new home and in negotiating the price.

Steve is professional and was highly attentive and responsive to my needs. The results speak for themselves.

Our home was NOT one of those multi-million dollar homes in a gated community but it is above average (we think) but we sure received the million-dollar treatment!



In any event our home was sold in eight days. The amount of effort put in by Steve Martin Smith, Katrina Smith, Wayne Welsh, and Gulf Shores Realty was phenomenal. Their attention to detail and their professionalism were instrumental in a very rapid sale at a price we were happy with.



There are dozens of Realtors anxious to “sign you up”, list your most valued possession, and hope for the best, but few will work as hard for you as they will. I know of people who have tried to save money by selling their home by themselves but I believe that dollar for dollar, Steve Martin Smith, Katrina Smith, and Gulf Shores Realty can’t be beat. I really can’t say enough good things about the team that worked with us this summer to make a stressful and sometimes scary procedure go so well. Thanks Steve, Katrina, and Wayne.

I am sharing my experience of our home selling process which I have to admit was made effortless because my husband and I chose the best Realtor in the area. We had decided way before starting this event to interview a few agents for the right fit. She or he had to be working exclusively for our benefit to receive the best market price as could be fetched for our beautiful home. Upon meeting Steve Martin Smith we knew he was the one and have not regretted the choice we made. Steve Martin Smith and Gulf Shores Realty on Venice Island were extremely professional, honest, truthful, and friendly all while setting up and getting ready for the market. Once everything came together it all happened quickly…they new exactly what they were doing from staging, to the background checking, and all the particulars to complete the process. Steve Martin Smith, his wife and Gulf Shores Realty were terrific, we highly recommend them. And while downsizing was the goal to begin with, Steve Martin Smith assisted in this process too. He is a man of many talents, my husband and I are very glad he loves his job as a Realtor.

I just want to say a special thank you to Steve Martin Smith for the amazing job he did in finding us our first home! As with most first time buyers, I knew little to nothing about the process. Steve is a knowledgeable and patient man! Every step of the process he was right there fighting for us. He helped us with the mortgage, inspections, drove for countless hours as we searched for our beautiful home on a small budget. Even when we lost hope because of a bad inspection, he kept our spirits up and we found an even better home! We were from out of town and expecting a real hassle. Not with Steve! I can confidently recommend his services whether you’re local or working through email. If we ever consider selling this beautiful home, Steve will be our first contact! Thank you for finding us our dream.

Steve Martin was the realtor that assisted us when buying a new home in Fl. He was invaluable
during the entire process. Steve handled the purchase, settlement, orientation and walk-thru. We were not available during the closing/walk thru. He did not hesitate to be there and answer any questions that we had. I would recommend him fully as a realtor to trust and handle your future purchase/sale. Steve's professionalism and caring spirit made our new life possible.

Steve assisted us in finding the perfect home for my elderly mother. All through the process Steve was patient, professional and eager to address our concerns. I would high recommend Steve Martin for all your realty needs.

I just purchased a home with Steve while living out of state. It couldn't have been a better experience. He was caring, patient and really responsive to all my questions. He found me exactly what I wanted in my budget!! Working with Steve was really terrific and I would confidently recommend him to anyone!
