RE/MAX Alliance 5440 Ward Rd #110 Arvada, CO 80002 Cell 303 507-3336 Fax 1 866 415-9851 steve@steveengel.com Where were you born? Denver, Colorado- I am a 4th generation Colorado Native. My Great Grandfather was born outside of the Castle Rock area when it was The Colorado Territory. How long have you lived in the area? I have lived in the Denver area all my life; except for two years, I lived in Cleveland, Ohio, while playing professional football for the Cleveland Browns.
people you work with? I relate to people of all ages, whether it is their first home, a new home or the more seasoned buyers. I enjoy working with all of them and building relationships.
What is the most challenging part of what you do? Today’s real estate world is complicated and challenging from beginning to end. Overcoming problems to create a satisfied buyer or seller is a goal I have strived to accomplish my entire career. What do you most enjoy doing when you’re not working? I enjoy being with my lovely wife, Linda and doing things with her. We celebrated our 40th Wedding Anniversary this past May in Italy and enjoy traveling when we can. Being together and seeing our kids and grandkids is the best!
house? Find an agent you feel comfortable with and who you feel is knowledgeable and trustworthy. What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy a house? Find an agent who will help you get educated in the market. One who is willing to invest the time with you visiting areas and homes, so you can make an informed decision. What is the most unusual thing you’ve encountered while working in Real Estate? Having police officers, with their guns in hand, greet us as were finishing viewing the home. Neighbors were concerned there was a burglary in process! I didn’t sell that home, but it demonstrated how the neighbors looked out for one another!
What do you like most about it? I love the change in seasons and having the mountains in our own backyard. The Denver area has so much to offer and escaping to the mountains is just minutes away. How long have you worked in Real Estate? I have worked in real estate for almost 41 years. I attended the University of Colorado where I played college football. I was drafted by the Cleveland Browns. After my career ending injuries, I studied for my Real Estate License and began selling real estate in 1972.
