"To Whom It May Concern:

I have known Steve Kaul for several years.  Actually, Steve was a physical therapist working with my son, a "special needs" young man, prior to becoming a Real Estate "Professional".  I am a nurse by trade and "Professionalism" , Integrity, and Service is "everything" to me.  I can honestly say that Steve Kaul is all of what I just described.  He has the ability to take his time, be thorough, efficient, and get the results that you had asked for.  He has completed 2 transactions for me of which I was more than pleased.  His knowledge about not only the "paperwork" but about the construction of the home or building are superior.  When I left S.C. and went to Florida, he offered to assist me in that transition by finding a local agent, but I had already known of someone in Florida where I was originally from.  Any person would be in very "good hands" and will be more than satisfied with his hard work and service to achieve their goal, whether it be to "Sell" or "Purchase" a home. 

Thanks, Bev Kramer-Hall.  PS.  He was an awesome therapist for my son too!!!"


Dear Steve, We want to express our thanks to you for all of your hard work in our search for a second home.  Your response time was outstanding as well as the detailed information provided to us.  You were very organized in our physical search for properties which was much appreciated due to our limited time in Mount Pleasant.  Beyond that, you were a wealth of information regarding local restaurants, services, and attractions.  We have been coming to the area for years and had no idea how much we had missed.  It helped us feel truly at home.  Once we made a decision on purchasing you assisted in the details of the contract, asked questions that we did not think to ask and came up with a strategy for the purchase price that we wanted.  During the closing process you also assisted us in the many areas that needed to handled.  All of your hard work allowed us to effectively handle a great deal from Atlanta.  Even after we closed you have continued to help us settle in.  We loved the experience and now consider you a friend to boot! Thanks again, Chuck and Kathy

Dear Steve,
 
I sincerely appreciate the professionalism you have exhibited during this entire transaction.  It has been a pleasure working with you.  
 
Best regards,
 
Bob

Dear Steve

 

I wanted to thank you for every thing you did for me, Kitty and my mom through your excellent and selfless help, which went above and beyond the call of duty.

 

As I told you before, I´m lucky to have ever met you because you became my best friend in a very important moment in my life. I called you because I knew you from before, as a co-worker and as a serviceman, and I needed someone I could trust with eyes closed.

 

In my case, the deal not only involved to sell a house, but on the side I was moving to another city, starting a new job, quitting an old job, buying a new house and coordinating all the necessary involved issues with all four situations, which led to a busy schedule with a lot of stress and I needed to put my house in safe hands. To top the deal, I choose to do all of the above in a moment when the economy is not at its best and the real state is in one if it´s worse moments ever, and still Steve got a contract in a week and sold my house in a month!

 

When I look at the news about how difficult the housing market is with houses for sale for months dropping prices, I can´t believe how lucky I´m not only for the speed of the process but for the monetary deal achieved. I can´t believe every thing went so smooth. Steve, with your impeccable organization, following every step of the process and your professional advice I´m still positively shocked with the positive results. And I hardly had to do any thing.

 

As if all of the above was not enough, on the side of a spotless Charleston deal, I had that nightmare deal with this other realtor and Steve stepped up to the plate and saved the day. I almost could say I closed on both homes on time thanks to Steve. Unfortunately Steve did not get paid for doing the job of this other guy. But you didn´t care about that, you just wanted to help me because you are a good man. Thank you.

 

Not only I´m grateful with you for a job well done, but for becoming my right hand, my brain and my best friend, and helping us so much so selflessly.

 

God bless you, I´ll always owe you my sanity and happiness

 

Sincerely,

Diana Perez

Search to Close in 68 Days

 

To begin a new home search that concludes with a smooth closing in just 68 days is impressive especially when the following complicating factors are considered:

 

  • Out of state move
  • Employment and income not verified
  • Existing home sale required.

 The above factors are likely to cause a realtor to take minimal if any interest but Steve Kaul took an immediate interest and helped us towards a smooth closing.  Steve performed all of what would be expected of a real estate agent but what really made the relationship a success was all the additional things he did that are not expected of a typical agent.

Steve,

I did not have the chance to say a big thank you!! for all what you do to
support my family setup in US.

You did a terrific job from the very beginning, the house you found is
beautiful, my family is really happy, you gave me a very good support to
review and sign the rental agreement, as well as detecting minor details
during the walkthrough.

Regards,

Gabriel

Dear Steve,

It seems fitting to write this thank-you on the (first-year) anniversary of our closing.  I have been thinking a lot lately about how your presence, calm demeanor, knowledge and conscientiousness made our first home-buying experience as painless it could possibly have been.

What we so appreciated in you was your sincere desire to marry us to a property that fulfilled our current desires and needs, was within our budget, _and_ was a good investment.  You did not impose your own ideals/needs/wants onto our situation;  you simply weighed all the factors and gave us your best advice.  For that, we are grateful.
 
Nancy (and Michael)

After being on the market for 6 months we were starting to worry about selling our home.  We decided to switch to Prudential with Steve Kaul as our realtor.  Right away we were impressed with his charisma, knowledge, and skill.  With Steve as our realtor, the house sold within 2 months.  We will definitely choose Prudential,  and Steve Kaul as our realtor again.

Michael and Dena

"It is with great pleasure that we write to recommend the services of Steve Kaul.

He listened to what we wanted and did not pressure us to look beyond the parameters we set. He showed us many possible houses and was very supportive throughout our search.

We were incredibly impressed with his knowledge in the field, professionalism, no-pressure approach and amazing attention to detail; he always had our special request/must have (back yard facing SW/ no major road close by) in mind by ensuring the direction before showing the house and bringing a compass for when it was cloudy. He was always punctual and quick to provide requested information.

The entire process, from the day we signed the contract with him to be our realtor to the day we closed on our house was only a matter of weeks. His advice and guidance through the process was invaluable. He did a fantastic job keeping everyone on schedule and ensuring that we received all of the necessary paperwork to make our purchase smooth and painless.

His care and support didn't stop there: He also ensured that the lawn in the front and back yard got mowed before we moved in!

Anyone that buys or sells property in Charleston and does not use Steve wil surely have a less than optimal experience.

Thanks again!"

Sincerely, Achim and Angelika

"I really appreciate all of Steve's efforts (to sell my house) and wish I had made the switch (to Steve) much sooner."

"Steve Kaul displayed outstanding professionalism and tenacity while working as my agent on the sale of my condo.  Steve actively generated exposure opportunities for my place, followed-up on all showings, and physically got his hands dirty helping with improvements to the property!  I appreciated the way Steve constantly kept me informed of the status of my condo, as well as other real estate activities in my area and price range.  I would recommend Steve to friends and family members who are looking for an agent who recognizes the needs of his clients and goes above and beyond to meet those expectations!"

Deanna
"Measuring every inch of the home we purchased from Steve Kaul was one of the best things he did for us! He even measured how far the end of the bed extended past the window! This was an immmense help to us since we lived 6 hours away and were attempting to purchase items for the home before closing.
 
From the very beginning, we were impressed with Steve's organization and the care with which he selected homes for us to view. When we chose "the one" he included items in the contract which we would have not known to address  because they are peculiar to the Charleston area.
 
Steve stayed in constant contact with us and when he e-mailed us, he always included a subject in the "subject line" so that it would be a simple matter to find a particular e-mail if needed.
 
During the time Steve was working with us, his wife was expecting a baby and althought little Luke was born just before closing, he came to the closing.
 
I have been a realtor for 22 years in both Maryland and Georgia and would not hesitate to recommend Steve to any purchaser or seller coming to the Charleston area. If we ever sell, Steve will be the person we will call."
