About:
Stephen Herman got into the real estate business to fill the need for a highly knowledgeable professional to serve less than knowledgeable clients well when it comes to the intricate process of buying and selling property.
“I deal with all my clients as if I were in their position, walking in their shoes, because I actually have been there myself and know the fears and frustrations,” says Stephen, who owns a residence, commercial and residential investment properties. “The finances and details involved in a deal, not to mention the emotions of buying and selling a home, can take a toll. My job is to put my clients’ minds at ease and offer solutions that meet their needs.”
When Stephen entered real estate, he brought with him a lifetime of experience dealing with people. From age 12 he worked in his family’s hardware and building materials retail store then eventually ran the business, while also learning the many aspects of home construction. After seventeen plus years, he spent the next two decades with the NYPD solving a host of personal problems for the people in the communities he served. Honest, loyal and caring (maybe too much, he sometimes thinks), Stephen offers the highest standard of ethics and most outstanding level of service and personal attention when he works with every client.
Stephen holds both a New York State and Connecticut real estate sales license. He serves Westchester, Putnam and Southern Duchess Counties in New York as well as Western Connecticut. No matter what your price range, either moderate or in the millions, he will handle your business with the same dedication and care. “Owning a home of any type or size is the quintessential American dream, and I love helping people achieve it.”
A native of Richmond Hill, Queens, NY, Stephen attended John Jay College of Criminal Justice in Manhattan. He has resided in Putnam County, NY for the past five years. Outside of work he is an avid motorcyclist, an aviation buff, and a proficient clarinet and saxophone player. “I’ve also been picking up the guitar these days and loving it.” Stephen is also the member of Blue Knights Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club, and the past president of the NYPD Shomrim Society, 2007.
