We met Steven Good by chance at an open house he was hosting, and it truly felt fated. From the very beginning, Steven went above and beyond in every possible way. We were upfront that we were looking for more than what the market suggested was realistic for the amount we planned to spend, yet he never discouraged us, never applied pressure, and never showed an ounce of judgment. Instead, he invested an incredible amount of time, patience, and effort into understanding exactly what we wanted and helping us pursue it thoughtfully. The process itself was understandably challenging at times, particularly because we used a VA home loan in the Bay Area—an already competitive market—which includes the added complexity of required Section 1 contingencies. While we were negotiating and addressing the Section 1 barriers to loan approval, Steven was exceptionally communicative, proactive, and steady. His deep knowledge of homes, construction quality, inspections, neighborhood dynamics, and the Bay Area market gave us confidence at every step. He also demonstrated a strong working understanding of the VA loan process and applied that knowledge effectively during negotiations to help move the transaction forward. Thank you, Steven, for being there for us when it mattered most. Throughout the entire experience, Steven was personable, extremely knowledgeable, responsive, and invested in our success, and it was a pleasure getting to know him along the way. He is not only an outstanding real estate agent, but a truly great person. We now consider him a friend of our family, and if we were ever to buy another home, Steven would be the first person we would call. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for an agent who will truly go the extra mile.
