About Steve

About
I’ve been a dedicated Realtor since 2004, navigating market shifts—including a major recession—to rise among the top 5% of Realtors nationwide in sales volume! You might call me a "countrified city boy"—I grew up in the suburbs of Detroit but found my true home in northern Michigan in my early 20s. My approach blends city smarts with country hospitality, creating a winning combination for my clients. I’m passionate about technology and don’t just use the internet to market properties—I truly understand how digital marketing works and know how to leverage it for maximum results. When we connect, be sure to ask me about my *Six Key Steps to a Successful Sale* and discover how modern real estate marketing can give you a competitive edge!

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.
