Business Philosophy

Service is most important in making the buyer/seller comfortable throughout the transaction, providing them with knowledge and understanding, gained through 42 years of experience. In dealing with the full gamut of buyers/sellers, individual needs and concerns are always of primary importance. Education and Training

I have both my BA degree and MA degree in mathematics. I have taken the Broker's Training and have attended realtor workshops and seminars to stay aware of new and current trends in the real estate market. I attend the seminars offered by the appraiser, Jeff Otteau, to keep current with what is happening in the real estate market as he presents the statistics and data he has researched. I take many courses to meet the requirements of the Continuing Education. I am a Certified Cendant Mobility Marketing, SIRVA, and Affinity Specialist and am Certified in the HES Movers Advantage

"Steve was wonderful to work with!'

"Moving from Syracuse, NY to Central New Jersey, I was concerned about picking a Realtor who was unknown to me. My fears were unfounded as Steve Lebedin was absolutely delightful to work with. He is professional, knowledgeable, and courteous and responds to client's requests quickly. I would definitely recommend Coldwell Banker and Steve to friends and colleagues."

"Steve takes a deep interest in clients and all aspects of selling a house. It was a pleasure dealing with Steve and Elaine. Our house sold quickly."

"I felt Steve and Elaine were very knowledgeable with real estate. When we asked a question, there was always an answer and if not, Steve would find out the answer. I feel they both took an interest in the sale of our house and in us. They are both caring people."

"Our relationship with Steve and Elaine Lebedin journeys back to the late 1980rsquo;s when Steve assisted us in locating ldquo;Our Perfect Home.rdquo; Since that first experience, Steve has gained our exclusive trust and we consider him our ldquo;Go-Tordquo; expert. Partnering with his wife Elaine, Steve has helped us buy and sell several properties to date. Through their wealth of experience, keen observation and insights, ardent research, strong work ethic, and perseverance of meeting our needs with pinpoint accuracy, we bought 'Our Dream Home.'"

"As you may remember, I was "in the business" over 30 years and I've closed just under 900 transactions - so you know how many realtors I've dealt with over the years. I just want to say what a pleasure it was to work with you and how much you exemplify hard work, professionalism, and integrity."

" I can sincerely say that you are the first realtors that I've work with that have truly earned my respect as you are a professional and take extraordinary pride in your work."

"Thank you so much for all the extra efforts you put in to make my closing happen today. I am resting peacefully for the first time in a long time. Thank you also for the long haul it was to sell our home, your professional expertise, and kindness, care and concern for our family."
