What clients say about this agent....
Steve helped us buy our current home. Steve was super professional and given the market was very competitive at that time, he directly worked with the seller agent to get the numbers on what the sellers were expecting and suggested a competitive enough but not crazy bid (instead of typical "bid and wait and then overbid" approach taken by most realtors). Steve also got us some $$$ back without us asking when the inspection found some repairs. When we wanted to remodel, he suggested an amazing contractor he worked with and we still have a long standing relationship with the contractor who did various jobs for us.
Steve was able to get my house SOLD during one of the most challenging periods of recent home sales history in late 2022. The contract terms were favorable for me even in a shifting market where other agents were throwing in the towel and just dropping prices. He provides very professional and direct, consistent, communication to his clients and holds their hand through the entire process. Working with Steve felt like a team sport, we debated strategies, if something needed adjustment at the home I would make it happen & if I needed him to make accommodations on the sales, marketing side he made it happen. I would recommend Steve if you want to get your house sold in a way that makes YOU feel comfortable you are in control.
Steve is a very effective and efficient realtor. I was selling my fathers house, a difficult sale because it was a real fixer and being sold as is. I accepted an all cash offer in 5 days and it closed 11 days after that. The closing process was very easy and stress free. Steve is very well connected and knowledgeable about the Livermore area, so he was able to set up various home inspections very quickly. He explained everything very well and was transparent about pricing, how the process of selling a house works, what we needed to do (and didnt need to do) to prepare the house, and the expected timeline, as well as who would be most likely to be the buyer of the house (an investor who will repair it and remodel it for resale) and what a fair price would be. He kept me apprised of every step via text, emails and phone calls. I highly recommend Steve.
Steve and his team provide a top level of expertise and skill selling homes in the Livermore area. The home we needed to sell presented a unique challenge, which Steve met with flying colors. We are so glad we chose Steve to help us through the process.
I would to start off with.... Steve and his team are top notch! Steve and his team helped us buy our first house in 2009 and he has always kept in touch yearly and during the holidays to just say Hey. My wife and three boys have decided to relocate and the only person we reached out to was Steve. During the housing market sudden shift, he has been honest, truthful, and supportive during the decision making of putting our house on the market. He conducted a walk through and pointed out the little things that might make a difference on the sale. We took his advise and wanted him to get us to our Magic sale price. He provided serious considerations and listed our house above the market to test the waters. After one weekend of showings, we received only one offer with $9k over asking with no contingencies. Due to the market, Steve honestly believed this was the best and he didnt want us lose this opportunity. We eventually sold our house and the house appraised at full selling price. Steve and his team continued to communicate throughout the process until we closed. Steve and his team have always been very responsive to text messages, emails and phone calls. He has always treated us like family/friends. If you are looking for a great personable experience from buying your first home or selling, then I highly recommend Steve and his team! Gabe T.
If you are serious about buying a home in the Bay Area and more specifically, Livermore, Steve is the realtor you need. He is extremely professional, prompt, honest and will work hard to help you find a home. He helped my husband and I find and purchase our dream home in an extremely competitive market in less than 3 months that was within our budget. Our transaction and closing were difficult as the seller was overseas but Steve kept us updated and fought to make everything right for us. If only everyone had this level of grit and integrity! I highly recommend and encourage anyone looking for a realtor to call Steve.
We have known Steve for quite awhile as a friend. When it was time to sell our home using him was a no brainer. He is a great guy so we were expecting a good experience but we got much more. He really knows what helps to attract buyers, what could be a waste of money and time as well as what upgrades are the most attractive to different types of buyers. Steve was really great at giving us thoughtful and on occasion very pointed advice, but always in the sincere interest in obtaining for us the best price for our home. But at the same time he always listened to our opinions as well as our concerns and when we disagreed on how aggressive to price the listing he did as we asked. When our first buyers backed out he kept us positive, and devised a strategy to keep our listing ?fresh?. It obviously worked since we received a much higher offer the second time around. Anyone who works with Steve is fortunate to have him on their side. In this crazy market Steve really knows how to navigate the complexities to his client?s advantage.
If you are looking for a real estate agent who is knowledgeable, has the experience, and is tenacious, Steve is your man. He showed an understanding of the local housing market and aided us in selling our home. He had a cheerful outlook and showed an interest in his profession. My mother fell ill during the selling of our home, and he asked about her well-being when I communicated with him. Not only is he a good person, but he is also a fantastic real estate agent.
While looking for our first house we got the recommendation to contact Steve from our lending agent. We are beyond happy that we did. We immediately had the impression that we are in good hands and found an honest and trustworthy agent in Steve. Steve is a very knowledgable and extremely well connected agent. Everyone we worked with during the process spoke highly about his professional abilities. He explained every procedure from A to Z and answered any question we had promptly.
