Steve Seymour regards real estate as a relationship business, where business connections are strongest between people we like, know and trust. His dad was in construction, and Steve caught the real estate bug young, even wielding a nail gun at age four, escaping injury and moving on to pursue sales, flipping houses and buying rentals. His first house flip was nearly a flop, paying high rates, working too hard, and reaping a low return; but he learned a lot, and learned it quickly! Steve is not a fan of the big box brokerage firms where he feels agents are caught on the treadmill of closing deal after deal to the betterment of the firm, with little regard for the agents. Steve created his own brokerage, Vanguard Realty Alliance which supports his values of putting the client first, while providing a collaborative work environment that empowers agents to pursue their own goals and achieve success.
