One might best describe Steve as a “Man of Service”. He has dedicated his entire adult life to serving others. As a real estate professional, he has served on various committees on a local level, and is a past president of the Surry Regional Association of REALTORS. In his previous occupation as a general dentist, he was active on local, state, national and international levels of many dental organizations. He is a long-standing member of the Lions Club, a member of the Rotary Club, as well as a past deacon and elder in his church. He has served on countless community projects and charitable organizations. Most recently he has been a local elected official. He was awarded the 2015 Outstanding Public Service Award from the Greater Mount Airy Chamber of Commerce.
Steve is married and has a daughter, son-in-law and grandson.
Piedmont and Foothills living has always attracted Steve. He is a native of Winston-Salem and two-time graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. It was an easy decision to return to his home area, in particular Surry County, once his military obligations were completed.
Steve began his professional career as a general dentist, first as an officer in the United States Navy, and then as a private practitioner in Surry County’s county seat, Dobson. His dental career lasted 33 years. Steve’s background as a dentist has served him well throughout his second career as a REALTOR. Professionalism, dedication, attention to details, knowledge, honesty, fairness and a caring manner are some of his attributes.
Steve has been an active member of the Surry Regional Association of REALTORS, as well as the NC and National Associations of REALTORS. He is a two time recipient of the SRAR’s prestigious REALTOR of the Year award in both 2007 and 2015.
He has obtained several real estate designations including: e-PRO (a technology based educational program designed to assist consumers in the purchase or sale of a home or other real estate), ABR (Accredited Buyer Representative), GRI (Graduate REALTOR Institute), and SFR (Short Sale and Foreclosure Specialist).
Steve is always eager to serve both past and new clients to help them with their real estate needs. If you want to have a higher level of confidence when buying, selling or renting real estate, Steve Yokely or one of the other brokers in Group3 are the real estate professionals to call.
