I was totally impressed with Slice of Florida Realty. Steve was so helpful and detailed. We were very impressed. He listens and educates and was willing to show as many properties as we wanted. He even picked up on some details in our conversations that were not on our wish list. He showed us one more and it ended up being the one we picked because it was perfect and only was found due to his attentiveness and attention to detail. Highly recommend!!!Posted on Google![]()

I would highly recommend Steve Martin Smith and his team from Slice Of Florida Realty for all of your real estate needs. I moved to Venice, FL from out of state and started my search on my own. One Sunday evening I was standing in the yard of a home that I really liked. I called the number on the sign (Steve’s) and he answered. I asked when he would be available to show me this home and he replied “ How about now, I can be there in 5 minutes” and he was! ( On a Sunday night!!). He showed me this house and I decided to keep looking. I was cautious at first with trusting a realtor to help me find something because my past experiences with agents always led to the typical “salesperson” stereotype that we all want to avoid. Steve quickly proved that he did not fit this stereotype and won my trust. He helped me find the perfect home and he helped me work the magic I needed to get to the closing table. Long after that closing he and Katrina were always available and happy to help with any questions that helped me settle into a new community. Fast forward to today and I have completed 4 real estate transactions with Steve, in addition to my mother also purchasing a home with him. For each of these transactions, Steve and Katrina went above and beyond to get the transaction completed with my best interests in mind and the least stress possible. Steve and his team are the most honest, ethical and truly caring agents that I have ever met! I would give them 10 stars if it was possible!!Posted on Facebook![]()

Life is made up of encounters. Beautiful, less beautiful, ugly. Meeting Katrina and Steve was a wonderful experience, both personally and professionally. In this age of AI and bland encounters, we met the kind of people we always wish we could meet. Katrina is dynamic and inventive, Steve is professional and energetic, and both possess empathy. When they engage in sales, they bring all these qualities to their clients, and it works! In our case, it worked very well, better than we imagined. We wish them every success; at some point, people deserve to get what they deserve.Posted on Google![]()

I cannot recommend Steve enough! As a first-time homebuyer, the process felt incredibly daunting, especially since our transaction hit quite a few unexpected hurdles. However, Steve went completely above and beyond to navigate every single obstacle with absolute professionalism and grace. They were remarkably responsive, answering every text and call immediately, no matter the time. Their dedication, knowledge, and constant reassurance turned a stressful situation into an amazing, successful experience. If you want an agent who will truly fight for you and guide you every step of the way, look no further!Posted on Trustindex![]()

Steve and Katrina treated my husband and I like family and not just another costumer. My daughter had refered us to them when we decided to move from Delaware to Florida to be closer to her and they helped us every step of the way with our best interest at heart. They earned our trust from the start!! Their communication throughout the entire process was great and they were always available to answer any questions in more than a timely matter. We felt very confident in their knowledge and honesty. They made purchasing a home a truly enjoyable experience. I recommend them to everyone I know who is in need of real estate services and they will always have my business.Posted on Facebook![]()

We purchased our current home and vacant lot with Steve and his team. This is our 3rd real estate purchase and was the best experience by far. Not only did Steve help find us our dream home, he helped us every step of the way. If I could I would give 10 stars... dont waste your time with anyone else! I know I won't!
