My Profile

“We have known Steve Smith for about 25 years and can attest to his skills and dedication as a Real Estate agent. Steve is a perfectionist and wants to do his job right. To him “right” is making the customer happy. He has helped us buy three houses and sell two, so we have a lot of real estate transaction experience with Steve, and would not consider using anyone else. Although we have not used other agents, we have seen the way the other agents act, their lack of knowledge, and often not representing their clients in the most positive way. Steve is extremely thorough and always puts his client first, and the service you get is the best. He is patient and provides advice in selecting the right property, is excellent in the negotiating process, and patiently goes through all details of the purchase process. He is willing to go above and beyond by providing help with any upgrades or repairs to the house, drawing from a long list of trusted contractors that he has built up over his career. On our last house, Steve helped us close a large property in Manhattan Beach in a 45 day Escrow with intense pressure from the sellers for us to close on time. In the end we were ahead of schedule and they were not ready. Few agents could master the choreography of events to close such large transaction in that time period. Steve’s professionalism and attention to detail are unmatched, and we highly recommend him as a Real Estate Agent.”

“Steve, you make my world and home a better place! Steve, I want to thank you for the great experience I’ve had buying my first home! Even before we met, I tried to prepare myself as much as possible with the whole home-buying process – I even thought I might be able to handle it on my own! – But I am so glad that I was introduced to such a quality REALTOR^® such as yourself. Looking back, there is no way I could have navigated through all the obstacles and intricacies of purchasing a home – you were absolutely essential! As we were touring homes, I appreciated that you were never pushy and never pressured me to make a decision. You always kept my best interests in mind! Given your many, many years of experience as a REALTOR^® (and in home renovation, construction, design, etc.), I felt very comfortable trusting your honest opinions. Even once I had my offer accepted on a property, I feel that you went above and beyond to get issues resolved to ensure that we close in a timely manner. You never ceased working hard for me! I wish I knew more people who are looking to purchase or sell a house because you are certainly the buy whom I would point them to. So thank you again! I hope our paths cross again in the future.”

Sincerely,
Steffen Fehrman

“It is with pleasure and gratitude that we are writing to share our experience with Steve Smith in the purchase of our new home. Steve’s knowledge about real estate is multi-faceted and his local market knowledge is invaluable. His relationships in the community allowed us to view homes before they went on the market and his exceptional reputation as a real estate agent helped us get our home. We especially appreciate the dedication and hard work he did for us: making himself available when we needed to look at homes, negotiating the contract, finding us a good lender, securing all inspections and making sure the negotiated repairs were handled while we were out of town. In addition, he was always reachable whenever we had a question/concern and he kept us informed throughout the whole escrow process. Steve has been a delight to work with on a professional and personal level. He maintains a perfect balance of professionalism, good humor, patience, understanding and diplomacy. We would highly recommend Steve Smith to everyone looking for a real estate agent and would not hesitate to use him again in the future.”
