Steve and his team are first class. Responsive, reliable, professional and considerate
We were in our beautiful house for almost 15 years. We had so many wonderful memories raising our four sons there and so the decision to sell was incredibly emotional and difficult for the whole family. Steve and his team handled the situation with compassion, understanding, patience, flexibility and their advice was spot on. This can be such a stressful thing to go through but Steve and Rob and the rest of their team really went above and beyond and were with us every step of the way. Its just a small thing but right at the end before our final walk through I had forgotten to remove a bunch of old items around the side of the house and rather than just tell me that it had to be dealt with, Steve arranged for it to be hauled that same day at his expense. Its meant so much to us as we were just exhausted and he recognized that and handled it. They were dead accurate on where they thought the house would trade and when we wanted to price it higher, they didn’t fight us on it but let us put it out there privately to see if we could attract any motivated buyers first. We ended up selling very close to the price they guided us to at the beginning that was backed up by comp and market analysis that they had presented to us in a very professional and well thought out presentation. Could not recommend Steve Walsh and his team high enough and we were lucky to have them on our side of the table.

First Class All The Way
Our experience with Steve was the best that we have ever had. We thoroughly trusted his advice, and he was always available to help with any questions that we had. He thought of everything and presented all our options in an easy-to-understand and professional manner. He helped us to line up subcontractors and get their fees paid during escrow. He had his professionals help to bid on all the work we might need to get the best price for our home. We are so grateful to Steve for a successful sale!

AMAZING & HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
As a speculative residential developer and home builder, I have worked with many different real estate salespersons/brokers, and Stephen Walsh was one of the best I've ever worked with! His professionalism, communication frequency, and sales approach were absolutely the reasons we sold the property quickly and for top dollar. I would highly recommend him and his team.
★★★★★
Amazing team for a complex deal
Stephen and his team were incredibly helpful in navigating this complex deal that involved the successful sale of three properties to get this one done. They went above and beyond for us, even after the close of the sale. We would definitely recommend Steve for anyone looking to sell and purchase their home.

Talk about underpromise and overdeliver!
From beginning to end, my experience with Stephen and his team was wonderful, at the highest level of professionalism. He did what he said he would do by the time he said. He organized the work on my house smoothly. Within the next week after the first open house, I had several offers. I chose the cash offer at 80,000 over my asking price. Between open house and the payment received was a bit more than a month. Wish I had more houses for him to sell.
Best Realtor Ever!
Stephen came highly recommended and went above and beyond expectations. With all the work that goes into buying a house, (financing/ pre inspection/ work with contractors) Stephen kept us informed and organized during the process, making it a breeze. He was never pushy on buying just any house as it genuinely felt like he wanted what was best for us and our needs. When it came to touring properties, Stephen impressed us right away with his knowledge of each home and how he envisioned each property could be improved with specific renovations. He also has a great team around him as we were fortunate to work with Robert as well. Lastly, there is no one we would have rather had negotiating on our behalf than Stephen and his team. All in all, we were able to heavily rely on and trust him throughout the entire process. We strongly encourage anyone to seek out Stephen’s services.

His goal is simple: cut through the noise, give clients the truth and confidence to act, and make buying or selling a home in Newport Beach feel a whole lot less complicated.
