Find Your Ideal Home

Every purchaser is different and has their own home buying goals. Whether you are looking for a home that is move-in ready or a fixer-upper you can design and make your own, you need a complete home professional who is experienced in finding homes, knowing the value of improvements, remodeling, crafting the right offer, and negotiating on your behalf.

Find Your Home With Us

Craft the Perfect Offer

Home buying is competitive. Whether the home is move-in ready or a fixer upper, chances are you’ll have to compete for it. There is an art to building rapport and getting your foot in the door with the seller side, knowing real value, and negotiating for it. A lot of home buyers miss out on this because they are not represented by a professional.

As a first time home buyer I had ZERO clue what I was doing but Zach was incredibly knowledgeable and patient as we went through my home search. He also has a rolodex of recommendations for any home needs including loan company, plumbers, electricians - really anything you'd need! We managed to find my perfect home. Knowing I could trust Zach to look at the "boring" stuff (HVAC, water heater, etc) while I focused on the pretty hard wood floors was key.Highly recommend for your first or fifth home buying needs!

Our experience with Zach was excellent!. We were selling our house of 20 years and looking for our new home! Zach set our house up for success to see at top dollar. He then spent hours researching, sitting in builder meetings, walking lots, asking questions, writing contracts, and viewing houses. We were able to find the perfect home with Zach's guidance. We highly recommend Stello Homes!

The Stello homes team did an amazing job in our recent home purchase. Buying in a competitive market can be very stressful, but Zach made it very smooth. We were able to get the home we wanted in the price range and area we were looking for. Due to his knowledge and strategies we were able to beat out other offers. We couldn’t be more happy! Thank you Stello Homes.

This was the best contractor experience I’ve ever had. We did a large scope of work with Zach and team and they hit it out of the park. Zach is extremely customer focused and his goal is to satisfy. He and his crew are always professional and his manner of engaging puts you at ease. When encountering issues he stayed calm and focused on making sure we got what we asked for. Value overall is outstanding. In our case the team worked long hours to complete our project while we went on a long vacation and it was greatly appreciated. I recommend Costello Homes without any qualification. Honest, reliable, friendly, professional. Great job!

Zach and the rest of the Stello Homes team blew us away. Buying our first home , we were pretty nervous but Zach's expertise and guidance really made us feel at ease. We competed against 5 other offers and won out at a sales price under what we were expecting to pay. We're also excited to get some remodeling done with Stello Homes before we move in. I'm sure that will be great too. Stay tuned!

Zach was a great agent! I always worried about being too needy but every question we had or house we wanted to see, Zach happily worked with us to make sure we had everything we needed/answer our questions. We had some hiccups that came up during the process but he walked us through every step and quelled our anxieties along the way. Highly recommend!

Zach and team were absolutely fantastic. I've been told by my lovely wife that in some things I'm a bit too thorough on and in this case in buying a home this is definitely no exception. Zach has supernatural patience and answered all of the many questions I had. He was always available anytime I had a question. He's also very passionate and thorough with his craft. From the get go, I was impressed by his analytical mind and understanding of the market and that really solidified my confidence in him. I will use him forever in further real estate ventures. Highly recommend him there's no one better!

We can’t speak highly enough of our experience with Zach Costello and the Stello Homes team! As our Realtor, he helped us find the right house in the right neighborhood for the right price. He was patient as we traveled from Savannah, GA to look at homes over several months and often Facetimed us for virtual tours of potential listings.

The best part of working with Zach was that he was always so thorough about his knowledge of home construction and the local market. Every time we viewed a new property Zach would perform a methodical inspection, looking for signs of problems and commenting on the quality of construction, finishes, appliances, etc. He also cautioned us about making unreasonable offers when we fell too quickly for overpriced homes.

If you are a buyer or seller I would highly recommend Zach and the Stello Home Real Estate Team to handle your business needs! Thank you Zach!!
