Testimonials:
"We needed to quickly sell an aging property that had been a rental for 10 years and was in need of some updates, but unfortunately we lived 3 time zones and 2,500 miles away. Steve to the rescue! As first time sellers Steve was with us every step of the way. He started by seamlessly taking over from the property management team, collecting keys, and assessing the unit for sale. Without missing a day, he quickly determined exactly what repairs and upgrades were needed, made all the selections for us (everything from the paint to appliances to the lighting design), and personally coordinated and oversaw the entire renovation project down to the last detail, all the while calmly keeping us fully informed and up to date on hold ups and progress. He helped us determine a strategic asking price, and once the unit was on the market (just 3 short weeks after starting the renovation), Steve continued to help us make the best decisions for us, by providing us with solid insight on potential offers drawing on his many years of experience. There was no question too big or small for Steve to explain to us. There was no challenge or sensitive matter he could not help us navigate. Steve combines a calming demeanor to keep everyone on track, with the knowledge and expertise to get results. And the results for us were multiple offers above asking, accepting an offer within 4 days of going on the market, and closing only 2 months from the day Steve put his realtor lock box on the door handle - all without us setting foot in the state. Steve is trustworthy, responsive, detail oriented, and knows the East Bay Area market."

"I recently painted a home for Steve that he and his wife Erika (interior designer) completely remodeled (acoustic-ceiling-removal, sheetrock/texture, all new kitchen & bathroom, electrical, plumbing, flooring, dump runs…). He met with his client regarding what needed to be done to sell their home, budgeted costs, coordinated sub-contractor schedules and managed the entire project from start to finish. Steve worked tirelessly to complete the project within the timeframe & budget he and his client agreed upon. In a project of this magnitude, unforeseen issues (electrical, plumbing…) present themselves after demo. I was so impressed at Steve’s ability to stay calm and find solutions. The end result was amazing! Steve is a man of integrity who is not afraid of hard work & going the extra mile for his clients. I absolutely recommend Steve Comfort to anyone looking to sell or buy!"

"Steve Comfort has been one of the most well-rounded real estate professionals I know. His patience, knowledge, professionalism and guidance in my initial purchase and eventual sale of my investment condo have surpassed all my expectations. He seems to have first-hand knowledge and skills not only in real estate, but in the areas of construction, remodeling, and staging. His recommendations and keen eye in preparing my property for sale helped me reap in multiple offers within a few days of market listing and I ultimately received top dollar for my property. I am so lucky to have found Steve and I give him the highest of recommendations in his field."

He understands the housing market and goes to great lengths to fulfill your needs as an agent, but also exudes confidence in his profession which makes anyone feel comfortable in expressing concerns about potential properties.

He has found his forever clients with me and my family."

"He is on the ball! Steve sold our home for us in 2011. It was a short sale and therefore quite complicated. He was extremely diligent and knowledgeable throughout the whole process. We would use him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for an agent in the area."

"Steve Comfort is going to take care of you! Always willing to go the extra mile to show properties, and is all about finding the house that will accommodate. Steve was also very into ensuring that when it comes down to crunch time, the loan is good to go and will not be an issue. We worked together with the lender to make sure that no hiccup would make the deal fall through at a later date."
-Steve J
"My wife and I were unsure if we could get into the market. We randomly decided to go to an open house one weekend and met Steve. Steve was welcoming and knowledgeable about the market. He was able to guide us through the potential home buying process. He worked hard to get us a home quickly (found a home in about a week). Steve was there for me with any small or large question I had before and after closing. He is also available to help with any contractor or home repair recommendations as you made need them throughout the years. Steve is a great realtor. "

"My husband I were very lucky to have Steve as our realtor and could not be happier with our entire house buying experience. We were first time homebuyers and contacted Steve on a Monday morning. He made the time to meet with us that Monday evening. We wanted to act quickly, and we had quality houses to see in person by Friday. My parents were in town for only that weekend, and wanted to join us for the house hunting. I was so happy that Steve took the group of us to look at houses and was very patient with all four of us! While seeing houses in person, Steve was able to help us navigate the neighborhoods and gave honest, constructive feedback. At every step, he strived to kept in mind my husband and I and our personal preferences, our budget, and our wish list. Steve kept us informed and confident throughout our time together. We were able to find our perfect first home, in an extremely timely manner, and under asking price. I know that this isn't the normal for most but I think it happened because of Steve and the trust we put in him. Thank you Steve for everything. You are an amazing realtor and we look forward to working with you again!"

"Steve is an amazing Realtor that is knowledgeable, hard working, and a person of integrity. I'm a Mortgage Broker and have worked with him on several transactions. He has been impressive every time with both his delivery to me and what I've seen delivered to his clients. I'd highly recommend him to any of my mortgage clients that are looking to buy or sell a home!"
-Jeremy G
"Steve Comfort was excellent during the entire process of selling our house. I believe selling a house can be quite complicated and to further complicate matters we were no longer in the same city as our house we were selling. Steve handled everything professionally, keeping us in the loop on all matters, giving us good advice and listing to our wants. It really was a very smooth transaction from the beginning to the end thanks to Steve!"
-Alfred & Stefani
"Steve helped us purchase our first home and we were extremely pleased with his professionalism and industry knowledge! Steve is connected to everyone from loan officers to junk haulers, making the whole process of buying (or selling) seamless. Steve also goes above and beyond the normal scope of work for realtors. Thank you again for all your hard work!"

"I met Steve on a Thursday in July, Summer of 2014. He was the listing agent for an open house that I stopped by to view in Pleasant Hill. After discussing the listed property, I had a brief conversation with Steve on the housing market and what my personal housing situation was. Initially, I knew that I would be ready to sell my current home and purchase a new home for the upcoming Summer, but little did I know, I had just run into a "Real Estate Genius." Steve immediately informed me that it was a good time to start looking at what the market had to offer. He took my information down and told me that he would get back to me with some information on the area that I was currently residing in. The next day, keeping his word, Steve emailed me to follow-up on our conversation from his open house the day before and he was letting me know that he would have a "Home Checkup" report for me by Tuesday. He wanted to know what would be a good time to sit down and go over all of the comps with my husband and me. But there was one PROBLEM!! I hadn't told my husband about Steve, our new LISTING AGENT!!! I then delicately told my husband what I had been up to one afternoon, how I came to meet Steve, and so on....Completely, surprised that I was making arrangements for us to move from the home that he had just finished putting together; LITERALLY!!! My husband shook his head; a normal thing in our relationship and agreed to meet with Steve. On Friday, a week later, Steve arrived at our home for our, and I think all of us had our mouths on the floor. My husband and I were amazed at the professionally bound comp report that Steve brought with the houses in our area; at least 20 and the history of our home at the time. He came ready to work!!! Steve was surprised because he thought that we had staged our home for his visit; we laughed HYSTERICALLY. In all, it was a great initially meeting. From there, my husband and I talked and decided to give Steve a call to start the DAUNTING process of home selling and buying. By the end of July, we were: 1) pre-approved to purchase a new home; compliments to Steve's mortgage broker, 2) our home was professionally photographed, 3) we were house hunting, and 4) our house was ready to hit the market. Just a few days later, our house hit the market and in less than a week, we SOLD our house with multiple offers, and over the asking price. Steve was able to PERFECTLY time our home sale and purchase closing dates LITERALLY within 2 days from one another, leaving us with only ONE house payment. We got into our desired area, under budget, and stress free!!! Let me tell you, Steve Comfort is the BEST realtor that is out there!!! He communicates, he listens, he pays attention to what you desire in a home and stays within your budget. OOH!!! And the surprises keep coming with Steve. He stopped by to see how things were going one afternoon, he brought us a house warming gift, and he mailed us a copy of our closing documents for both properties for tax season. It doesn't get much better than that!!! Other realtors, "DROP YOU LIKE A BAD HABIT" after closing. Steve Comfort; he's the real deal!!! Thanks Steve!"

"I cannot say enough about Steve - 5 stars are not even enough to give him. I'd give him 10 stars. A+ job on being my listing agent for the sale of my home. He guided me through the process of getting my house ready to go on the market. He comforted me through the anxiety of being a seller and he knew my house was looking great and would receive multiple offers....... and it did and we closed in 10 days. I would recommend Steve to anyone who is looking for a fabulous real estate agent to help them through the buying or selling process. You will be in good hands."

"Downsizing is probably the hardest thing my wife and I have experienced. Steve Comfort gets 5 STARS for support and level of professionalism in all phases of this transition!"

"Here's a Realtor that you can trust. He is hard working and really does have your best interest at heart. My wife and I worked with him in the process of finding our current home and we were very impressed with his ability to communicate with us the process and he made sure that all of our questions and concerns were answered. I have recommended him to friends of mine and I will continue to do so. "
-Eric W
"Steve was our super agent for our home purchase last month. No matter what questions we had (be it sewage pipes or when to give notice to my landlord) he was always able to give us a knowledgeable and thorough answer. He also knows a lot about the different neighborhoods around here, and made sure we knew all about the house we were buying and it's neighborhood. He was also very available by phone and text. Thanks for making the process go smoothly, Steve!"
-Danielle T
"Best buyer's agent ever. Steve was extraordinarily diligent in all aspects of a very complicated purchase. We normally would not have qualified for this purchase due to the complexities of owning a business, but Steve helped us work through so many issues that would have sent other agents running for cover. He represented our interests all along the way and managed a tricky seller's agent superbly. I've seen others in action, but Steve is our agent for life now."
-Patrick & Brenda D
"My wife and I were extremely lucky to have Steve as a realtor. As first time buyers, we knew very little about the daunting process of buying a home, but Steve set our minds at ease. He was extremely easy to talk to, and explained the complex processes in ways we could understand. He was always quick to respond, and made it feel like we were his only clients. His honesty and trustworthiness really sealed the deal for through this special time. A true professional. Going with Steve again would be a no-brainer."
