Steve and wife Chris are the consummate real estate professionals. Every encounter I had with them affirmed the fact that they are seasoned, thorough and honest people. Although I often changed requests to view properties, they quickly resourced the changes I asked for, and were willing to meet quickly. When it came to preparation for buying, a market analysis and lots of backup information on HOA and county documents made the process seamless. I would recommend the Ritchies to any buyer! [...]

We have worked with Steve Ritchie for almost 20 years on properties at Deep Creek Lake, MD. We have been on both the buying and selling end. He has always been readily available and very responsive to any questions or inquiries we had when working with him. Steve is extremely knowledgeable about properties and market trends at Deep Creek Lake. He is our GO TO GUY! We wouldn’t think of working with anyone else!

Steve Ritchie is just a good guy! Enough said!
- Dennis & Peggy W., Seller 2018
Steve has helped my wife and I with several transactions over the past decade. There's no one we trust more. Most recently, he helped us sell our home near Wisp for full list price and we went under contract within two weeks. I'm a nervous Nellie every time we buy or sell, but this was undoubtedly the smoothest transaction we've ever had. Steve is very much in tune with the Deep Creek market and our faith in his judgment and advice were rewarded. I recommend Steve to anyone who [...]

I can't sing praises enough about Steve Ritchie at Railey Realty. We just purchased a piece of land in Deep Creek, Maryland. The experience was spectacular - just like a day on the water or a beautiful day on the slopes with friends. Steve made the experience so easy. His communication was top notch. He helped us find a great lender, was quick to answer all of our questions and point us in the right direction for all of our buying and building needs. Highly recommend the Ritchie Team! [...]

Steve helped us find the perfect vacation home. He listened to us and guided us through the process with patience and expertise. He was so nice to work with and we will be ever grateful to both Steve and Chris Ritchie.
Chris & Amy A., Buyer
Steve and Chris Ritchie are remarkable. They have assisted my wife and I with two real estate transactions - one that was complete in less than 3 weeks and one that lasted for over a year due to complications involving deeded access. During both experiences, Steve and Chris demonstrated extraordinary real estate expertise - equipping us with all the information and local points of contact we needed to make the right decision for our family. We strongly recommend them - knowing you will not [...]
Cody & Abby M. - Buyer 2022
Steve was fabulous to work with! We've dealt with other realtors in the past and Steve was by far the best. We purchased a property 3 hours from our primary residence and had numerous questions and needed a lot of information. Steve and Chris sent us tons of details about each property which allowed us to make informed decisions. They also showed properties to us via FaceTime which was a huge help and kept our house-hunt flexible. If we purchase in the Deep Creek area again, we will [...]
Steve & Adrianna B., Buyer
Buying this home was the biggest decision of my life. Steve has 30 years of experience as a realtor in Deep Creek. He grew up here and knows the lake like the back of his hand. We looked all summer for a place on the lake. We gave Steve a list of homes we were interested in seeing (most times the night before) he was always prepared the next day, with a packet of details on each house. Steve always returned my emails and calls in minutes. Steve was on time, professional, knew the most efficient [...]
