Meet Steve Szwec

As a former US Marine, I’ve dedicated my life to service—first to my country and now to my clients. With over 15 years living in Charlottesville, Virginia, I bring a deep understanding of the local market, a strong sense of community, and a passion for helping others achieve their real estate dreams.


Whether you're a veteran navigating VA loan benefits, a first-time homebuyer stepping into the market, or an investor seeking the next great opportunity, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. I understand that buying or selling a home is one of life’s most significant decisions, and I approach every transaction with professionalism, precision, and a relentless “Can Do” attitude.

 

As a real estate professional, I specialize in simplifying complex moves and demystifying the process for my clients. I believe in empowering you with the knowledge you need to make informed decisions while tailoring my approach to meet your unique goals. My expertise extends beyond residential properties—I’m also a seasoned real estate investor with the experience to help clients build wealth and achieve financial freedom through strategic investments in real estate.


In addition to my real estate career, I’m actively involved in my community as a US Soccer Federation referee and competitive travel coach, fostering leadership and teamwork both on and off the field. This same commitment drives me to serve as part of the Military Division at REAL brokerage, where I advocate for veterans, military families, and those who’ve dedicated their lives to service.

 

At the heart of my work is a simple philosophy: Homes are our passion, but people are the reason. My mission is to provide every client with unparalleled service, honest communication, and results that exceed expectations. Let’s work together to make your real estate goals a reality.
