Steven Markel

This is realtor is very unprofessional and disorganized.I reached out to him regarding a property and he told me it had just leased. It remained on the listing site for days. I was contacted by a realtor who later told me she showed it was available & not leased out. Steven had told my realtor an elderly person lived there & he would be there to let us in. We arrived to the home and no one was living there apparently he had gotten the property confused with another one even though my realtor confirmed the address. We had to wait 20 minutes because he scheduled her appointment in his name so it would not allow her to scan the lockbox because it said it was booked to him and he had just walked into a meeting. He eventually came to let us in. Once I showed interest in the property, he eventually told my realtor to “not have me waste my money putting in an application,” because he had “just received” an application and the person was going to pay for 1 year’s rent up front and they planned to select this person once the application was approved on Monday, this was a Saturday when we toured the property. He was “friends with the owner, they were doing much together, blah, blah, blah…. He did let us know if that person didn’t come through “I would be next in line and he would let us know on Monday.” Monday came and went this property is still online as available and he never contacted us. What a joke of a realtor! If you are looking for a professional, upstanding, organized, and considerate realtor look elsewhere!
