I explored NW Michigan before settling down in Central Lake. I have lived in many of the communities I serve, giving me an intimate insight to each community.
My IT background provides me with a different proseptive and understanding to marketing in a digital age.

About Steve

About
I have been a Realtor since 2004 and successfully navigated a recession to ultimately lead the industry among the top 5% of Realtors in the nation for sales volume! I am what you may call a countrified city boy! I grew up in the suburbs of Detroit and migrated to northern Michigan in my early 20's and have made it my home. Part city smarts, and part country hospitality! And that is how I run my business and treat my clients. I am technically driven and not only use the internet to market my properties, I understand how internet marketing works and am very successful leveraging it to my clients advantage. When we speak, ask me about my Six Key Steps to a Successful Sale and how you too can take advantage of a new way of real estate marketing.

John H. sold a home in Elk Rapids

Steve sold our Bay-front home in the time frame he said he would and at the sale price he said it would sell for. His marketing presentation of our home was outstanding. He even found a condo that was not on the market that worked out perfectly for my wife and I. Satisfaction across the board.

Tim L. sold a home in Elk Rapids

I have recently retired after 37 years as a small business manager and owner. The one thing that I insisted on was that every deal which we entered into had to be good and fair for all parties involved. After closing on the recent sale of a family condo I can tell you that Steve Parafin firmly believes the same. In our case both buyer and seller were somewhat vulnerable. The buyers because Steve had sold there home and needed a one story home with increased accessibility. I was vulnerable because I was charged with the sale of my Fathers condo after his recent passing to settle his estate. Long story short Steve put together a deal that was very good for all. Steve is the epitome of a professional Realtor and I will deal with no other in the future.

Andrew B. sold a home in Traverse City

I am a local attorney who has worked with and for Steve. He is knowledgeable, responsive, and professional. He handles complicated matters with patience and good humor. I know that Steve will return my calls and emails and be on top of things. No one knows home values on the lakes better! I would recommend Steve to anyone, without hesitation.
