REVIEWS

  • We had an opportunity to work with Stephen Downes. He was extremely patient and knowledgeable about the Winter Park area. Worked on finding us a dream home by listening to every detail that mattered to us The level of professionalism and responsiveness truly impressed us. Will definitely use him in the future if we decide on a new home and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to sell or buy a home.

  • Stephen was a true professional from beginning to end. He executed the sale of our house seamlessly, from his outstanding photography showcasing our home in its best light, to dealing with any and all questions from us and other realtors and interested buyers immediately. Any issues we ran into he had an immediate answer and solution to. On the day of our closing we had a last minute issue with our pool heater, that he took care of and relieved so much stress and possible delay in our closing. Selling your home is one of the most stressful events in your life and Stephen removed any and all of our stress. Not only did we use Stephens expertise in selling our home, his great knowledge and negotiation skills greatly benefited us in the purchase of our new home. As previously stated, Stephen is a true professional, honest and trustworthy, represents his clients best interests and goes above and beyond to make the whole process smooth and stress free. Thank you so very much Stephen, you are a true gem in the Sarasota/Bradenton real estate field.

  • If I had to sum up how and what Stephen is about, it would have to be patience! I thought he was gonna give up on me, but he actually encouraged me and helped me like I've never been helped before. From picking the right community, right house and right finance company, Stephen is the MAN!!!His knowledge of the market is impressive to say the least. He guided me in the right direction and I am now the proud owner of a beautiful 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom, 2 car garage house in the beautiful Del Tierra community of Bradenton FL. with A-Rated Schools!Thank you Stephen! My wife and I love you!

  • It was our pleasure to have Stephen as our Realtor when buying our first home in Florida. He was diligent regarding our specific needs including our budget. He is highly knowledgeable of the area and found us a beautiful house with a great school district. He got us a great deal on a house that exceeded our expectations. Throughout the process, Stephen was always keeping us informed and attentive to every detail. Stephen was always honest about every house we went to see, and his advice helped us a lot in this process. He stayed with us every step of this process and we are very thankful for that; we couldn’t have done it without his guidance. Highly recommended!!!

  • I originally reached out from California to several Real Estate Professionals to help me purchase a home in Sarasota. None of them wanted to deal with me across the country or at least didn't respond. Stephen hung in there and was extremely responsive to my excessive questions, even on weekends. He is knowledgeable, has been through new home purchases, knows the area and was super helpful. It took months for me to prepare and sell my home in California and all the while, Stephen hung in there with me. He took the time to show me around whenever I was in FL. We finally settled on an amazing new construction home, where Stephen was able to negotiate huge concessions in the form of money to spend at the design center. He even went to the design center with me and pointed out what is popular, durable, and best things to do for future resale (just in case). Above all, Stephen was nice, prompt and helpful, with great suggestions. I highly recommend Stephen Downes at Lionstone Real Estate Group.

  • If you are looking to buy or sell a house, Stephen Downes should be your first call. My husband and I were looking for a second home in Florida and doing it all from California. He made it super easy even though we were on opposite coasts. He really cares about his clients. His attention to details are above and beyond. From guiding us through the legal mumbo jumbo to finding us the perfect home, Stephen is truly amazing. His knowledge of the area is deep, he responds super quick even during off hours and on any day of the week. His negotiating is on point and he gives truthful thoughts on how to proceed...or not to. Our whole process from putting in an offer to the final papers being signed, Stephen was there every step of the way.So, wrapping up in one word for all of the above is trust, and that is Stephen Downes. We highly recommend Stephen!!

  • By far, the realtor with the most devilishly handsome and charming brother. A++, would realtor again!All joking aside, I wouldn't have chosen my bother to find us the perfect home unless I had full confidence in his abilities. He delivered on those expectation and much more. You're in good hands if you ultimately choose to work with Steve...he may have been a major PITA as a big brother growing up, but he's one hell of a real estate agent now.

  • Steven was a God-send. He took extra time to visit home after home for us, and even after we didn’t find the place for us, he continued on his own to look and found the place for our family. We bought immediately, and only because Stephen went above and beyond for us! Thanks Stephen
