Steve was so awesome to work with from the beginning. I actually moved into Leisure World, which I have come to know is a world in its own. He is very knowledgeable with that area.
While I do understand that he is in Seal Beach, where the prices are much higher than where I was purchasing, I never felt rushed or that I was taking up too much of his time. He treated me just as if I was purchasing a multimillion dollar home.
I would not only recommend him for anyone purchasing within Leisure World, but I would definitely recommend him just in general as your broker. He is very thorough, always available to answer questions, and is there for you.
It was a very pleasant experience from beginning to end!

Steve is an excellent agent and a very nice guy that I will have a beer with once my brewery is rebuilt. One of the very best real estate agents that I have worked with. This was purchase #6 (you go where the work is). Steve not only had an excellent knowledge of Murrieta but was always present and seriously on the ball. He knows exactly what going on in with the purchase and kept us up to date with texts, email and phone calls. A serious professional. We took his advice and the purchase was friction free and on time.

Steve did an awesome job for me which was much appreciated. He was on point from start to finish, and my home sold for the highest price than any other home in my neighborhood, and the highest in the phase 2 neighborhood next to me. All while interest rates were skyrocketing, out of control inflation, and buyers were disappearing left and right. He was a straight shooter from the beginning until the end, which I appreciated the most. He's not an agent that's going to blow smoke up your butt just to get a sale. Very knowledgeable and I have already recommended him to other people. Class act all the way.

Not enough positive words to relay my experience working with Steve. He helped me sell my home and buy a new one with exceptional ease, expertise and piece of mind. Steve is always a few steps ahead, ensuring every question and concern is met with thorough follow up. He fostered excellent communication not only with me, but with our broker and every realtor involved. Steve has proved to be the best agent out there, cannot thank him enough.
