Re. Testimonial for Steve Smith Dear Steve, My family and I want to thank you for making our dream of home ownership come true. We could not be happier in our new home in Thanks again and we look forward to working with you on our next real estate purchase, Brian and Mui Klein Tuesday, July 07, 2009 Dear Steve, We feel very fortunate to get to know you and purchase the house from you, and the next house we purchase will be from/through you for sure (if we can afford one in the future). I really appreciated your honest advice based on your strong knowledge and experience, also the fact that you care about the long term relationship with each buyer. You are definitely different from other realtors who only care about selling the house and don't care about how buyer's live in that house. I really feel that you are happy for us and for each buyer when they purchase the house and that's why the whole process was enjoyable even though there were a lot of things to do. We really appreciate your help and support during this whole process! Thank you very much! Hiro & Yvette

Sincerely, October 14, 2008 Dear Steve: Christina and I love our new home and wanted to take a moment to thank you for the work you did helping us to buy it. This was our first time buying a home and from our first meeting, you did an excellent job helping us to know what to expect and answering our questions. More importantly, you gave us a great deal of confidence throughout that you were looking out for our interests. This included developing a good understanding of what we were looking for in a home and taking the time to help us build our understanding of the local market. When it came time to make an offer, we had confidence that you were on our side in the negotiation process and not simply looking to close the deal. Steve, we were also very impressed with your technical knowledge and experience and the way you put it into practice. It was clear that you had an intimate understanding of the

Hi Steve, Loren Porretto February 2007 Hands down, Steve is the best Realtor that we ever worked with. He was professional, courteous, friendly, timely and always on top of the paperwork and timeframes of the various processes. Steve was knowledgeable about the contractual requirements as well as the many reports, inspections and disclosures that were part of our buying process. We highly recommend Steve to both buyers and sellers, and will use his representation again ourselves. Sandy and Ed L Steve, Terri and I would like to sincerely thank you for all your help. As you know buying a home can be a stressful process, especially when it's your first home like it was in our case. There are so many things that you need to know. So much so that it's easy to get lost in the details! Your willingness to explain everything along the way put us at ease regardless of the complexity at hand. Furthermore, your friendly calm demeanor made the entire process fun. And even more, when you had to get tough on our behalf you were there 10 fold! In short, working with you was the best customer service experience we've had to date. With that in mind, we look forward to working with you again in the future and are spreading the word to our friends and family. Thanks again! Mike and Terri Robson November 21, 2006 Dear Steve, We'd like to thank you for taking such superb care of us as our real estate consultant. You really went way above and beyond to make the entire transaction a stress free experience. You have been so helpful with all aspects of our new home purchase and your assistance has been so valuable to us. During the last few months you've been like part of our family and we will miss you. We would absolutely highly recommend you to anyone needing a real estate consultant either to sell or purchase a home (or both!). This is the third time in the last 20 years that we have used a real estate agent and your performance ranks way above the other agents we have worked with in the past. Re/Max is lucky to have you on their team! Once again, thank you as well as Antoinette and your family for allowing us to take so much of your time. Warmly, Adriel and Hakim Terbeche ______________________________________________________________ KEITH M. STAUB To Whom it May Concern: Steve Smith helped us purchase a new home in Palos Verdes Estates last June. Steve´s real estate expertise permitted us to purchase the home for a very reasonable amount, which turned out to be a great buy. We have already realized significant appreciation in only a few months. Steve is very knowledgeable about market values, negotiations and legal issues relating to real estate. His expertise proved invaluable to my family and we will be forever grateful to him. The next time we buy or sell a home, we will not hesitate to call upon Steve to assist us. We highly recommend him to all prospective buyers and sellers of real estate. Sincerely, Keith M. Staub _________________________________________________ Outside of the house that we purchased, Steve was by far the best decision we made for this transaction... and we would have never found our house without him. It is perfect! He is very on top of it and is in tune with his clients needs. Thank you Steve!!! Michelle Wun ________________________________________________________________________
Steve is one of the most respected realtors in the business. His attention to detail, knowledge and thorough process gives me comfort that even the most complicated real estate transaction will go smoothly. I can't imagine buying or selling a property without him.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ December 2005 Testimonial for Steve Smith, Re/Max Palos Verdes Steve Smith brought professionalism and a great sense of calmness to our moving experience. In an already stressful time in our lives (three ill parents, the birth of our second child, two surgeries, a job loss and change, and another family member´s move), we decided to sell our house! Steve was patient, flexible and understanding of our hectic schedule. He is very personable and goes beyond his responsibilities as a realtor. He feels like an old friend yet he keeps his professional boundaries. He has been a delight to work with and we have highly recommended Steve to many of our friends and family. You will be very pleased, and relieved, to allow Steve Smith to handle all of your real estate matters. Bryan and Rebecca

Alisha and I wanted to take the time to thank you for your outstanding professionalism and guidance as we relocated from The Delgado Family
Dear Steve J. Smith, I want to thank you for the excellent service you provided us. Our house sale was handled professionally by you and your associates. You knew we were concerned about the technique to sell our house, and you put our minds at ease with your attention to detail and thoughtfulness. Your expertise in the field was demonstrated a few hours after listing the house when realtors started calling. You showed complete dedication to us as you guided us through all 20 offers. We shall never forget you or this experience. A special thank you for going the extra mile and calling realtors in If you ever decide you want to brave the weather and move to Thank you does not say enough. Sincerely, Cyndi Martin
I was very happy with the results of the sale of my condominium orchestrated by Steve Smith. Steve is a hardworking and very knowledgeable realtor. I followed his advice and used his core of skilled contractors to replace the carpet and bathroom tile, re-paint and add lighting in the kitchen. I again followed his advice to put the condo for sale slightly under market price. By spending roughly $5k in upgrades and following his selling strategy, the condo sold for approximately $45k over the sale price. I have also looked at houses with Steve and am constantly amazed by his knowledge of the houses in the South Bay Area. He knows when houses were built and the general architecture of each. He'll point out all the upgrades to the house and give his commentary as to the quality of the re-work done. If you ask him about the cost of additions, he'll be able to tell you an approximate cost. It's apparent from talking with him that Real Estate is his passion and that he does all he can to become educated in that area. Not only does he know about buildings, but he also is experienced in selling strategies to get the best price for your property. I highly recommend Steve Smith for anyone interested in selling or buying Real Estate, particularly in the South Bay Area. -Dan Sakurai _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mary and I have bought and sold four homes in the past, but you were the first
