We recently had the pleasure of working with Steve Martin and his wife Katrina during the recent sale of our home, and we could not be more satisfied with the experience. From start to finish, Steve demonstrated unmatched professionalism, dedication, and expertise.
From the initial consultation, Steve took the time to listen to our needs and thoroughly explained the selling process, making sure we understood every step. His knowledge of the local market was impressive, and Steve’s pricing strategy helped attract potential buyers quickly.
Steve and Katrina went above and beyond to prepare our home for listing. They offered valuable advice to stage our home and even coordinated professional photography to showcase our property in the best possible light. Thanks to their marketing efforts, our home received significant attention both online and through open houses.
Throughout negotiations, Steve was a strong advocate for us, ensuring our interests were always protected. Steve communicated clearly and promptly, keeping us informed at every stage and answering all our questions with patience and honesty.
The sale of our home was smooth, efficient, and exceeded our expectations—selling faster and at the price we had hoped for. We are incredibly grateful for Steve and Katrina’s hard work and commitment. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
Steve and Katrina, thank you for making this important transition in our lives such a positive experience!

We couldn't have had a better experience buying a house than we had with Steve Martin Smith at Slice of Florida Realty!! We were Marylanders looking to purchase a house in Florida. We happened upon Steve when we were interested in the Venice area. Steve was incredibly knowledgeable about that area and gave us such great advice about what to look for in Florida homes. After considering our options, we decided that we wanted to look a little further north in Florida, hitting on Palm Coast. Steve's firm, Slice of Florida, is located in Venice, but Steve made the 225 mile drive up to Palm Coast just to help us. He stayed in the area for several days showing us all the houses we were interested in, giving the same incredible attention to service that we had gotten in Venice. When we finally found the house we wanted, Steve was such a valuable asset when negotiating a price. If it weren't for Steve, I don't think we would have gotten the house of our dreams. Steve truly spoiled us, I don't think we could ever use another realtor!

As a first-time homebuyer, I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience working with Steve Martin Smith. From our first meeting, he was not only incredibly patient and responsive, but also went above and beyond to make sure I understood every step of the process. What really stood out was how detailed he was about the neighborhoods I was looking at—he knew everything from school ratings and future developments to the best coffee shops and traffic patterns. He even referred me to a fantastic, reputable home inspector who caught a few important things I wouldn’t have noticed on my own, which gave me extra peace of mind. His deep knowledge of the area helped me feel confident that I was making the right choice, not just in a house, but in a community I could call home. He made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and even enjoyable. I can’t recommend Steve Martin Smith highly enough for anyone looking to buy/sell —especially if it’s your first time!

We had the great fortune of discovering Steve Martin Smith through his podcast on Pandora while en route to Florida for a house-hunting trip. From our first interaction, it was clear that Steve is not just a real estate agent—he's a seasoned expert with an impressive command of real estate law and a genuine passion for helping his clients succeed.
Our relocation from Illinois to Florida came with unique challenges and a tight timeline, but Steve navigated every step with precision, clarity, and unwavering dedication. His professionalism, responsiveness, and strategic guidance made what could have been a stressful experience remarkably smooth and efficient.
We cannot recommend Steve highly enough. He combines deep industry knowledge with a warm, client-focused approach that truly sets him apart. If you're looking for a real estate professional who will go above and beyond, Steve Martin Smith is the one to call.

We just wrapped up a smooth and successful closing with Steve Martin Smith, and it was a pleasure from start to finish! Steve consistently puts his clients first, going above and beyond to make the process as seamless as possible. His professionalism, clear communication, and dedication truly stand out. The Moore Team at Gulfside Mortgage Services would recommend him to any buyers looking to purchase—or sellers looking to list—their home. We look forward to working with Steve and his Team again on the next transaction!

Steve Martin and Katrina of Slice of Florida Realty did a fantastic job of preparing and presenting my house for sale. In a market slowed by two near hurricanes and the new developments in the area Steve and Katrina never wavered in their dedication to the sale of my house. Many open houses were held and I am completely satisfied with the finally deal that they were able to help me negotiate for the sale of my property.
