Fantastic experience: Steve is very knowledgeable about real estate and is very professional at what he does.
Fantastic experience: Steve and his entire team did a wonderful job in selling our home. They were professional and very responsive throughput our process.
Fantastic experience: Steve is amazing!! I didn’t think houses sell fast during Christmas but with Steve they do! When you list with him be ready to sell quick! He knows his stuff and can answer all your questions, his marketing is above the rest, and his communication is next level. We will always use him when we need to sell or buy in his area!!
Fantastic experience: 2nd review - Steve Kozlowski is fantastic - the best, hands down! He sold two houses for us this year, and surmounted every obstacle, including that we had to be out of the country for the 2nd closing. He and Cloee are an AMAZING team. She deserves tremendous praise. She works harder and more efficiently than anyone I know. You guys are awesome! Thank you so much. 1st review - Steve is the best! He and his team worked closely with us, and they got our house sold quickly. We liked his straightforward, honest, positive approach. Team member, Cloee, was always available to answer questions and help with all our needs. We are most appreciative and highly recommend him. (Both houses sold within only 3 months. Excellent!)
Fantastic experience: Thank you Steve and his team for excellent service during whole selling process.
Fantastic experience: Steve and his team did an exceptional job with the sale of our single family home in Lexington, SC. We had to make a quick sale since we were paying mortgage for a vacant house for quite some time mainly because of mismanagement by a previous realtor. Steve and his team were able to make themselves available on a short notice of half a day and was able to walk in with depth analysis and a market researched value that was conducive to our need for a quick sale. He also presented us other (higher) values which that property could make if we were to wait longer. Steve is upfront and not sugar coated however ready to work with you in all circumstances. He and his team with Cloee and Joanne were quick to respond to the queries and imparted guidance and direction to fathom the circumstances. They work as a team and are involved in all aspects from listing to closing and are extremely knowledgeable. I cannot thank them enough for the services rendered as they worth every penny and much more. Thank you !
Fantastic experience: I would recommend Steve and his team to anyone. He was honest, up front, and realistic. My situation wasn't ideal but Steve and his team helped guide me in the correct direction and as a result, my home was sold in a matter of days. Everything went smoothly and was handled with precision. I can't say thank you enough to the entire Century 21 Vanguard team.
Fantastic experience: Steve and his team were wonderful to work with, knowledgeable of every phase of selling and closing real estate. He’s very professional and I was very proud to be represented by such a courteous and responsive agent.
Fantastic experience: Steve was great to work with when selling our home. He walked us through every step of the way even with the trouble of having solar panels on our house (which turns out not many people buying like them). Steve definitely went the extra mile when the market was a little slow. We were living out of town while going through this entire process and it was the smoothest possible sale. We are super grateful to have found Steve because we had a company who claimed they were doing everything they could, but the second we hired Steve we noticed the biggest difference. The first week having Steve on we had more people tour/view the house in that week then we had prior in months. 10 out of 10 experience. You absolutely won’t regret hiring Steve and his team if you are looking to buy or sell.
Fantastic experience: Steve is a fantastic realtor who really knows his stuff. When I decided to sell my home I was nervous about the whole process. However Steve made everything so much easier for me. He took the time to explain each step making sure I understood what was happening and what I needed to do. One of the best things about working with Steve was his communication. He was always available to answer my questions whether it was through a phone call text or email. This made me feel confident that I was in good hands. He also provided great advice on how to make my home more appealing to buyers which really helped in getting a good offer. Thanks to Steve's hard work and dedication my home sold quickly and for a great price. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. If anyone is looking to sell their home I would definitely recommend reaching out to Steve. He truly cares about his clients and knows how to get the job done right.
Fantastic experience: Steve was the best real estate agent we could have ever asked for when selling our first home! His advice was spot on and helped us to price our home competitively, and his input was greatly appreciated during negotiations. Would recommend Steve 10/10 times for selling your home!!
Fantastic experience: Steve and his team were exceptional during the entire sales process. From his knowledge regarding the current market climate, an appropriate asking price and the reality of expectations to keeping us informed every step of the way, his exhibition of professionalism during negotiations and ultimately a smooth transition into the final sale.
Fantastic experience: Steve was great at communication. He is friendly, professional, and easy to work with. He listened to my concerns and worked hard at addressing them. I also enjoyed working with his team: Chloee, Joanne and Darcy (from Thomas Law). I would definitely work with him again.
Fantastic experience: Before I start let me tell you, I don't usually give 5 star reviews for anything or anyone. Nobody is perfect. Not saying Steve is perfect, but Steve earned it through his TRUE professionalism, honesty, integrity, straight shooting, accuracy, and even helping me with some things not related to the scope of what I hired him for! Previously I have dealt with cheaper agents in multiple deals, ended up with headaches and lawsuit threats, and agents working both ends of the deal in their favors at my expense. True horror stories in the market. This wasn't the issue with Steve. Having interviewed several agents, some the same commission amounts as him and some lower. What earned my trust was his professionalism. He is not like other agents who give flowery talk, agree with everything you say, talk a big game that isnt backed up with action, etc like Ive experienced in my past ~10 real estate transactions. He showed up (10mins early but waited in his truck until time of), inspected everything, and gave his opinions. He had a properly researched presentation, clear and concise explanations, and full welcoming professionalism. After his inspection all said and done he was only ~$2k off from the sale price. Extra impressive considering we were at the dead end of the summer season, well after schools had started. If you're considering one of the low cost agents, keep in mind, nothing of quality comes cheap! He and his team also had ALL the tools necessary for making the process as smooth as possible. If you need a professional, no nonsense, straight talking, winning game planning, and smooth buy/sell process, this is the guy for you!
Fantastic experience: Steve and his team helped us sell our home in just 3 months after being I. The market for an entire year. Professional and dynamic team! Thank you!!!!

He walked us through every step, what to expect, his marketing plan and guidance from start to finish. Steve and his entire team were a dream to work with and we cannot recommend them enough! He is highly knowledgeable about the market and is clearly committed to making his clients feel like a priority! Most of all he is honest and it comes through from the very first phone conversation!

Fantastic experience: It was such a pleasure working with Steve! He and his team were professional, prompt and honest with every step of the way! I highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell!
Fantastic experience: Steve was only a phone call away thoughout the whole process of selling our home. He was outstanding when marketing our home, receiving a full price offer on our home within days. Plus, we closed within a month! Steve gets the job done!
Fantastic experience: Steve was referred to me by a friend, and she was right - he did an excellent job. He gave good suggestions, especially during the selling process. I appreciate all that he did for me. He did more than I expected from a realtor.
Fantastic experience: I originally was selling my house FSBO. Steve called me every so often to check on my status and how FSBO was going. He was persistent but not bothersome. He assured me that he would sell my house around the same price I was listing, and he would sell it fast. Well, he wasn't wrong!!!! The first time he saw the house he came prepared with numbers and statistics about his selling history; I was very impressed. He showed me a house on Zillow before and after his personal photographer took pictures, and the difference was amazing. Long story short, I was sold and allowed Steve to sell my house. I set up an account where I could be notified when someone booked my house for a showing. That gave me a lot of comfort knowing real-time that my house was getting traction. I cannot remember the specifics, but I would say that my house had an offer in a matter of 2-3 weeks on the market, and it closed roughly a month after an offer was accepted. Steve and his team were wonderful to work with and I would HIGHLY recommend Steve as a realtor.
Fantastic experience: Excellent partner with selling my home. Initially met to discuss what I needed to do to get my best bang. Made suggestions on staging, which I followed. Communicated throughout the entire process. Priced well, yet sold above asking price. Several offers to choose from. Heavy traffic and sold in the first day. I would use him again, and recommend that you do too.
Fantastic experience: Steve is the best! Very professional, personable, knowledgeable and hard working. Received several offers in less than an hour of listing, contracted and closed quickly. The whole experience was basically stress free knowing Steve and his team had everything under control/organized. I will definitely use him again when the need arises and have highly recommended him to others. Thank you Steve!
Fantastic experience: Steve Kozlowski and his team are very high level professionals in the real estate industry. They just know how to make things happen. For three weeks on the market they earned us a $5k+ offer than we were initially asking. They made our sale experience a pleasure and I would strongly recommend them to anyone who consider selling or buying a real estate.
Fantastic experience: Steve did an exceptional job helping me buy my first house. I was able to close very quickly due to his noteworthy responsiveness and process expertise. What started as a "fixer upper" has turned into a beautiful home in a desirable neighborhood downtown. Steve and his team are very knowledgeable of the Columbia market and would be an asset to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.
Fantastic experience: Steve was very helpful with the sale of my house. Made the process very seamless and sold it for more than the originally anticipated sale price. Would highly recommend Steve and his team to be your agent to sell your property and get the most money for you.
Fantastic experience: Great; sold and brought on same 24 July 2020. Steve was great during the but and selling stage.
Fantastic experience: Steve helped me every step of the way I couldn’t have asked for anyone better all of my questions got answered right away

Fantastic experience: I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Steve and his team. I have made multiple offers on houses and they have helped me with each one providing useful knowledge about the areas I am looking and what to expect. Steve's team have even gone as far as to give me virtual tours of potential properties when I am unable to travel to the area. They are great to work with and I am very thankful for them
Fantastic experience: My husband met Steve with a phone call, talking about selling our house and football. The mutual connection was instant. Meeting Steve in person was even better...his professionalism, business savvy, realistic perspectives of the current market and ability to answer ANY questions we had with clarity and directness, was impeccable. Having bought and sold many homes prior, I had never had this experience. Selling our house was a priority to Steve, it was business, personal business...not a party, no drama, no flightiness. His ability to negotiate, explain EVERYTHING and return phone calls quickly represents his leadership and integrity in real estate. This is his career, not just something "he does on the side." We now live in GA, he needs to get licensed here so he can help us with any purchases in the future. He changed my feelings about realtors. There is a reason he is not only the best realtor I have ever met, but a great human. We appreciate him immensely!
Fantastic experience: Steve & Cloee were top tier with helping my husband & I sale our home. Informative communication, especially with the shift in the market; Steve & his team made sure we knew the pros & cons. Superb team !! Thank you for making this process easy for us.

Fantastic experience: Steve's promptness, knowledge of the market, strategic mindset, kindness and good energy made our purchase processing simple.

Fantastic experience: Great agent! Great attention to detail, and a trusted advisor. Thank you for everything Steve
Fantastic experience: HUSBAND AND I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! All I can say is Steve and his team were IMPRESSIVE throughout the entire process of us selling our investment property. Steve met with my husband and I to produce a plan to get the most for property. Let me give you some back story on how we met Steve. Hubby and I decided to relocate to another state just after we brought property. We changed our minds. About a year went by, my daughter told me realtors kept calling her to see if we wanted to sell our investment property, she finally gave Steve my number. Steve called me. We discussed placing the property on the market because we decided to relocate again. However, husband changed his mind. Once we decided to relocate in March 2022, this time there was no turning back. Well, we started the selling process in April 2022. We had a few hiccups that had noting to do with Steve, but he and his team assisted us and help us through those hiccups, so easily and patiently. We got a great return on our investment.
Fantastic experience: Steve was the ultimate professional in helping me find and purchase my first home! Steve was communicative, knowledgeable, and went the extra mile to help, even in a very difficult market. Once I was confident in a property, Steve knew what to do to get it under contract. I look forward to staying in touch with Steve and working with him again when it’s time to upgrade!
Fantastic experience: If you are in need of a Realtor call Steve Kozlowski. Steve is a pleasure to work with, he very knowledgeable along with Assistant Cloee. It was a pleasure working with them both. They lessen my stress level in the sale of our home in South Carolina. Again, thank you both so much.
Fantastic experience: Overall great experience working with Steve and Cloee during the process of selling our house in Lexington, SC. I highly recommend Steve and his Team if you need to sell a house in the Lexington, SC or Columbia, SC area. Steve and Cloee are both extremely professional and will walk you through the process of putting your house on the market and getting it sold. It was great experience and we are glad we chose Steve as a agent as we were able to get a great offer on our house and get it sold in early JUN 2022. Thanks again Steve and Cloee.
Fantastic experience: Steve and his assistant Cloee did an incredible job selling my home. They were honest, thorough, quick to respond, and helped reassure me when I needed it most. I would 100% recommend hiring Steve as your realtor!
Fantastic experience: Steve and his assistant, Cloee were an outstanding team. I went with my gut with Steve and I am so glad I did. He is a very knowledgeable real estate professional. He guided me through the entire process and made the sale of my home almost seamless. I am so glad I ditched that “For Sale by Owner” sign. He also has a great personality!
Fantastic experience: Steve and his assistant, Cloee Ream, made the whole selling process very smooth and easy. Once we had a contract, Cloee took care of the things needed to get me to closing and kept the stress at a minimum. I have worked with Steve previously and he was very professional and transparent. They both are an amazing team and made me feel valued and well cared for. THANK YOU CLOEE & STEVE!!
Thank you Kim! Glad everything went so smooth. Talk real soon
Fantastic experience: Steve is very thorough, professional, and great to work with. He made for an easy transaction. I would use his services again and recommend to others.
Thanks Christian for hiring me! Glad we were able to adapt quickly and not skip a beat to the closing table. Talk with you soon!
Fantastic experience: Steve Gets the Job Done. We originally listed our home For Sale By Owner. The major traffic we got from that experience was, realtors asking for OUR business. Steve was one of the last realtors we saw. He is no nonsense and tells you like it is in a Fair, Firm and Friendly way. He listened to my concerns because we still lived in our home and I have many animals. Loved the app that notified me of possible viewings and I had control of when was good for my schedule. His photographer was amazing and helpful. Cloee, his assistant was great at keeping us in the loop of communication with inspections, etc. After signing on with Steve, foot traffic increased, and we got 2 offers on our home, which one was full price. When I did not here from Steve, that meant all was well and going smoothly. Thank you Steve your partners and Century21 for selling our home in a very smooth transaction.
Tricia thank you for giving me a shot and proving my value! Hope you and Jim are enjoying North Carolina!
Fantastic experience: Steve helped me win a multiple offer situation in a highly sought after neighborhood. He was extremely professional, responsive, and helped make the home buying process smooth and easy! Would highly recommend Steve and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Columbia area!
Positive experience: Was not present at our mothers closing Very unprofessional. Have purchased homes and u can honestly say my realtors were always present.
I’m truly sorry you feel this way. I let your sister, my client, know a day prior to closing I would not be able to attend the closing. I assured her if anything came up to give me a call. During the call prior to closing, your sister and I discussed the settlement statement and the funding process so she was prepared for closing. At the end of the day, your sister was represented with your family’s best interest in mind from start to finish and successfully closed with a cash buyer at full asking price.
Fantastic experience: Steve was AMAZING to work with. He knew everything about the neighborhood and the current market conditions and we literally sold our house in less than 48 hours. No complications at all!!!! You won't go wrong with Steve, he and Chloe will take care of everything that you need and have questions about.
Gary thanks for allowing us to knock it out! Talk with you soon!
Fantastic experience: Steve Kozloski is without a doubt the best Real Estate Agent East of the Rockies, He sold my home in Columbia S.C.within 3 days after he accepted my listing ! Another agent , prior to Steve failed to sell it in 6 months. Steve handled the paperwork effortlessly communication and paperwork was beyond excellent and Steve was great at keeping me posted as to my position in the sale right up until the day of closing , which by the way was within 30 days after he listed it !!!! . I cant say enough good things about Steve, and he certainly deserves a 5 star plus for his efforts and Sucess in listing and selling my home. Gloria Dowell
Thank you and Gloria from trusting me from start to finish!
Fantastic experience: Steve was great to work with from start to finish. He listened to what my goals were and devised a plan to acquire the perfect house. He made sure that I was comfortable through every step of the process. Because of Steve's diligence, persistence, and knowledge of the market I was able to purchase a house 30k below the appraised value. In this market finding a deal like that is insane. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home.
Thanks Brett! Happy to hear about your ongoing success with your investments!
