Stephen Bogart - Listing Specialist

Hello, my name is Stephen Bogart, I am a licensed Realtor and listing specialist with the Adam Merrick Team. I started my real estate career in 1999 and have experience in both general residential real estate and new construction sales and design for two of the nations largest home builders and a luxury regional homebuilder.

Growing up I was fascinated by architecture and home design which ultimately led to my passion for homes and the real estate business. My experience has helped me recognize the quality features and values which are important for today’s sellers to gain a competitive market advantage and place them on the path to fulfilling their real estate needs and goals.

Extensive experience and training allows me to work closely with my team to provide professional marketing for your home and a truly great customer experience.

I have also had the pleasure of receiving numerous sales, service, and industry awards throughout my career, including Top Sales Agent and Excellence in Customer Service.

I look forward to helping you obtain your real estate goals!

Stephen handled our house sale in a timely manner. Makes the sale a lot easier than trying to sell it yourself. I would recommend Adam Merrick to everyone.
