Steve Pusey

Steve is from Salisbury, MD located on the Eastern Shore. Several years ago, he and his wife decided to move to Oneida, NY, where Steve began his real estate career after retiring from a successful 42-year career as a bank executive. His focus was on operations, commercial and residential lending, and management of bank-owned properties. He earned a B.A in History from the University of Maryland College Park, and his MBA from Salisbury University.

Steve has served on many boards of a number of non-profit organizations involved in community interests, including the Wicomico Library, Salisbury Wicomico Economic Development, Village of Hope, and Wicomico Rotary Club. He is a member of Christ Church United Methodist in Sherrill where he serves on the church council. In his leisure time, Steve enjoys golf, travel and American history.

Steve’s philosophy is whether you are buying your starter home, selling your family home or a large property, the focus always should be on the client’s needs. Each step is important in the process and needs to be handled in a personal and professional manner. A knowledgeable real estate agent will help to achieve the best outcome for each customer. Steve relies on his extensive knowledge, and the importance of serving their needs, and now looks forward to assisting you on a successful journey to your next home.
