Steve Ritchie

Steve truly acted as an advocate for me, which I needed as a first-time home buyer with no idea how the whole process really worked. He took the time to answer any question I had and took my questions seriously - and I had so many. His knowledge of what should and shouldn't be when looking for a home was invaluable, and he was willing to point out things I would not have thought to look at myself and kept me focused on doing the right thing by myself instead of just getting carried away by [...]

We can’t say enough good things about Steve and his wife, Chris Ritchie. They worked tirelessly to help find our perfect lakefront home. Steve was available 24/7. He answered every phone call and responded to each email with thoughtful detail. Steve does much more than selling property, he makes dreams come true. It was around 1991 or 1992 when we started looking with Steve for a lake home. Off & on thru the years we looked sporadically as “life happened”. And then year 28 we found our dream [...]

I can't sing praises enough about Steve Ritchie at Railey Realty.  We just purchased a piece of land in Deep Creek, Maryland. The experience was spectacular - just like a day on the water or a beautiful day on the slopes with friends.  Steve made the experience so easy.  His communication was top notch.  He helped us find a great lender, was quick to answer all of our questions and point us in the right direction for all of our buying and building needs.  Highly recommend the Ritchie Team!

We worked with Steve on selling our property near Deep Creek Lake and it was a pleasure. Despite the relatively small price (and commission! Steve treated us like we were multi-million dollar customers. Friendly, courteous, and always available for questions, Steve was one of the best realtors we've worked with. I highly recommend him if you want to buy or sell property near Deep Creek Lake.

Steve has helped my wife and I with several transactions over the past decade. There's no one we trust more. Most recently, he helped us sell our home near Wisp for full list price and we went under contract within two weeks. I'm a nervous Nellie every time we buy or sell, but this was undoubtedly the smoothest transaction we've ever had. Steve is very much in tune with the Deep Creek market and our faith in his judgment and advice were rewarded. I recommend Steve to anyone who [...]

It has been a pleasure working with Steve & Chris Ritchie.  I am a licensed real estate broker in DC, MD and VA but I still choose to work with Steve and Chris in Garrett County because of their wealth of local knowledge in the market.  We just completed the 3rd real estate transaction over the past 5 years, and this deal was just as easy as the other two.  Kudos to Steve and Chris!

Steve and Chris Ritchie are remarkable.  They have assisted my wife and I with two real estate transactions - one that was complete in less than 3 weeks and one that lasted for over a year due to complications involving deeded access.  During both experiences, Steve and Chris demonstrated extraordinary real estate expertise - equipping us with all the information and local points of contact we needed to make the right decision for our family.  We strongly recommend them - knowing you will not [...]

Steve Ritchie was excellent to work with during my recent purchase. He was very responsive and kept me up to date on everything every step of the way from initial signing of contract to closing.

We have worked with Steve Ritchie for almost 20 years on properties at Deep Creek Lake, MD. We have been on both the buying and selling end. He has always been readily available and very responsive to any questions or inquiries we had when working with him. Steve is extremely knowledgeable about properties and market trends at Deep Creek Lake. He is our GO TO GUY! We wouldn’t think of working with anyone else!
