About Stephen Hawbecker, ABR CRS CSP GRI SRES
Steve Hawbecker's Personal Mission Statement
My priorities in life are my country, my family and my clients. My business is conducted in a manner that reflects my personal commitment to these priorities. I will only tell a client the truth, not what they want to hear. When hired to sell a client's home, I will always make recommendations that will enable the owner to maximize their return or create a more rapid sale. When hired as a Buyer's Agent, I will always make recommendations that will result in the Buyer receiving the greatest value for their investment. I will never enter into an agreement with a Buyer or a Seller who is unrealistic in their expectations. I will employ a well trained staff to assist me in the complex process of buying or selling a home. I will always strive for excellence through continuing education so I may better serve my clients.
My services will always be available to the public, and I will always comply with federal fair housing laws. I will always treat all parties honestly and fairly and will always disclose to my clients all facts that might affect or influence their decisions. In short I will provide the most caring and professional service possible for each and every client I represent.
I understand and accept that I may occasionally lose customers because I am truthful with my clients and that my competition may tell them what they want to hear simply to gain their favor. I will only create a client relationship where I know we are mutually respectful of each other's expertise. I will never lose sight that my honesty, loyalty, understanding, experience, accountability and creativity are the very things that set me apart from the real estate masses.
I share this with you because I firmly believe it is imperative for you to know how I feel about my personal and professional ethics, the real estate industry and how I feel about representing you in your real estate

Steve's Client-First Philosophy
There are many qualities and skills that go into being an excellent real estate professional - integrity, in-depth community and market knowledge, marketing savvy, effective negotiation skills and a high-quality professional network, all of which are hallmarks of how I work.
That said, in my experience as a Camp Hill real estate professional, I've also found that providing the very best service is essentially about putting my clients first. This means keeping myself accessible, being a good listener as well as a good communicator, and responding quickly to your needs.
This "client first" philosophy has always been my approach and it requires me to continually improve my skills and ways of doing business. In addition, I've found that the latest technologies are enabling me to do everything I've always done, only much more quickly and efficiently. They've also helped me to extend the range of services I provide to my clients.
So when you decide that you'd like to buy or sell a home in the Camp Hill, Mechanicsburg, Harrisburg, New Cumberland, Enola, Lemoyne, Wormleysburg, Carlisle, Etters, Lewisberry, Shiremanstown, areas, please contact me.
