"Steve tirelessly slugged through up to 16 houses in a day in our search for our first home. He is friendly, personal, and professional. He worked within our monetary limits, worked with us to find out what type of house we were looking for, and gave us realistic expectations. He is well informed and up to date on the home purchasing process. He was on top of things, especially during escrow, working late into the night to make sure the i’s were dotted and the t’s were crossed. He successfully completed our very long and drawn out short sale process. We worked with one of the brokers that he recommended. They worked together like a well-oiled machine to get the deal done. He provided us a timeline and patiently and clearly explained the steps involved. We always knew what to expect next. He kept us informed of how things were progressing during the entire process. When we had questions, he responded quickly and thoroughly with an email or a phone call, sometimes answering the same question more than once. And on the rare occasion that he didn’t know the answer he did the research to find it. In conclusion, we will be coming back to Steve for all our future Realtor needs."

"Steve, you’ve been a tremendous help with selling the house and with making our move a success. As you know, you generated so much interest in our house that we not only got market value despite low comps, but we sold the house well above market value in one week. Our selling situation required really smart positioning so we occasionally questioned your somewhat counterintuitive recommendations, but we ultimately trusted you and it paid off beyond our hopes! Most of all, you are a good man who takes care of his clients. We’re so grateful that we chose you to represent us in the sale of our house and we’re only sad we met you on our way out of the Bay Area. We used one of the top Realtors in Tucson, Arizona, in buying our new house, but we agreed that he didn’t come close to comparing with you on any front. You’re the best!"

"Our overall impressions of the services are nothing short of first rate! All I can say is that Steve was just exactly what we needed. He is very experienced, knowledgeable, resourceful and updated on the current market and technologies. We have a multiple property situation and his background with his personality complemented our needs very well. I will miss his emails, voicemails, texts and our time on the phone."

"Outstanding. It was a long process in a tumultuous real estate world/economy; but at no time did I feel rushed, pushed or at a loss for information. I ended up with a dream house at an even dreamier price. I will definitely recommend Steven Anthony to everyone I know. The advice and attention received is unmatched. No one else will treat your money as if it was their money being invested."

"We will definitely recommend Steve to our friends and family. Steve is very knowledgeable about all aspects of the home buying process. He gave detailed explanations & valuable suggestions at every step, including the loan process and home inspection. We never felt rushed into doing things or pressured into buying any particular property. He was very patient and focused on finding the right house for us. Watching Steve go through the pros & cons of a house, it seemed like he was buying his own house. As first time home buyers this helped us a lot to understand what to look for in a house during the showing. He is extremely organized & pays attention to every detail. He kept us updated and gave clear and precise explanation of all paperwork. We were also very impressed by his punctuality and friendly behavior with everyone. These qualities made the entire process pleasant for everyone involved in the transaction. When we chose Steve, we already had high expectations based on his extremely knowledgeable and detailed answers on Trulia. While working with us, he exceeded our expectations. Thanks Steve!"

"This is our 4th & 5th Real Estate transactions in our marriage. As far as competency, reliability, diligence, efficiency and PATIENCE, no Realtor we have used in the past can stand on the same podium as Mr. Ornellas. We feel very fortunate to have met him, entrusted him and befriended him."
