Steve's ties to the military community are strong, created from his own military career spanning over 23 yrs. Steve is a retired Master Chief Aviation Boatswain's Mate. He retired off the USS Theodore Roosevelt, here in Norfolk Virginia, in March of 1995. The same year that Steve retired, his eldest daughter, Amy, began her military career as a midshipman at the United States Naval Academy. Steve went from being the active duty Master Chief, to the new role of Navy Dad. Now his daughter Amy, that is LCDR Doll, USNA Class of 1999, is a key member of her father's team. Together, they combine their knowledge and skills to help military families relocating to this area. It's a win-win combination. Father and daughter, Retired and Active Duty Reservist... You can't beat this duo... Wait...Change that to "Trio." We've added another military person to the team; son-in law Scott Humpert. Upon his retirement from the Navy, Scott came onboard with us as a Buyer's Agent. Be sure to check out our "Meet the Team" section to learn more about Scott. He's been a wonderful addition to our team. We feel privileged and grateful to have him onboard.
Steve has been happily married to his wife, Donna, for forty-two years. Donna works behind the scenes, or more correctly; "behind the camera." She handles some of the photography, creates the marketing materials, the internet advertising, and oversees the team's multiple websites. This family has truly joined together and combined their individual talents to provide the best possible customer service for their clients. Steve and Donna have three grown daughters. Yes, for many years Steve actually lived in a house with four women. The girls used to tease their Dad and say that he needed the Navy deployments in order to have some male bonding time. In addition to their three daughters, they also have eleven grandchildren; seven young grandsons and four granddaughters. When Steve's not helping buyers find houses, then he enjoys cooking for the family. They call him the "Grill Master" and family dinners with everybody in attendance is a regular event at the Doll house.
He looks out for the needs of his clients. He goes above and beyond to help each and every one. The fast growth and success of his real estate business is proof of that. But feel free to ask around yourself; people who have used Steve once, always come back again. His business thrives on repeat clients. They know a good thing when they see one. They know they can rely on him.
