STEPHEN HELPED ME GET MY DREAM HOME! Stephen has deep knowledge of his territory and assisted me in my search for a few months. When my perfect home came on the market, he helped close the deal with a great offer strategy. His experience, knowledge, negotiation skills and relationships in the real estate Industry pushed my offer over the top. After my offer was accepted, Stephen had amazing follow through and ensured the close went smoothly. Stephen is has high integrity, honesty and values. I highly recommend Stephen to anybody!
Stephen was recommended to us by a colleague of mine and what a recommendation it was! After a brief introductory phone call, we could see that he was a very caring and thoughtful individual. During the phone call we provided a brief on the budget, locations, and home styles after that he sent us over a few recommendations twice every week and if one of interest, he was very flexible on arranging a time to view the home. One of the homes he sent to us matched exactly what we were looking for and arranged a viewing which turned out to be love at first sight! He helped us put in a suitable offer which got accepted and kept us in the loop throughout every step. I am very thankful to my colleague for referring him as he made it such a stress-free experience and helped us buy our first home. I will be following in his footsteps and referring Stephen to my family, friends and colleagues!
Stephen was awesome and a pleasure to work with, he was always on task and on top of things and never lost communication with me during the entire process. What makes Stephen stand distinguished from the rest is that he was not just trying to make a sale. Thanks to his extensive knowledge of construction he was willing to tell me everything that needed work in houses that we would go see, he would point out major flaws on houses that I would have missed if it weren't for Stephen. Stephen was not just trying to make a sale, he was also looking out for me and my family so that we didn't get into a bad deal and I am grateful for that. This was not the first property I buy, so I have worked with other realtors and not all of them know what they are doing nor advise you to not get into a bad deal. Stephen is a master at what he does and he will take CARE of you!!! Honestly, the only reason why I only gave Stephen 5 stars, is because I can't leave more stars. Once again Stephen, Thank You so much for helping my family and I find a great home! I will definitely be contacting you for my next property.
Stephen by far exceeded our expectations when it came to finding our first home. He worked great with us during this big mile stone in our lives. It turned out to be a great experience working with him and definitely would work with him again. Very responsive and would also stay on top of updating us as needed. Made us feel very comfortable and confident. We Highly recommend Stephen to help you find your home.
Stephen was phenomenal as our agent: extremely responsive, created great house tour schedules based on our criteria, and finally navigated the closing really quickly with our loan officer who he recommended as well. Stephen also has a great network of contacts that can help with the new property too.
Stephen was awesome. He was always there when I wanted to see a listing & stuck it out with me for 2 yrs of looking for my forever home. Stephen is very knowledgeable & uses his prior work experience to help look for things that might need to be replaced. Stephen is easy to talk to & always willing to help.
Stephen is a very experienced real estate agent, much more than his profile tells us. He helped my family buy two properties in a short period of time and in a very competitive sellers market. His showings were always well organized and considerate. He pays attention to details and has deep knowledge in all aspects of a property. He understands the local market very well. He proactively reached out to sellers agents for every detail of our interest and provided relevant market analysis reports before any decision can be made. From contract to closing, he was on top of everything and put all parties together to help us reach the close of the transactions.
Stephen was the only reason we succeeded in buying our first home in the toughest market for buyers in two decades. Homes were selling for 30-40 % over their list price and selling within a week. Stephen kept our sprits up through several lost offers. Ultimately he showed us to how to make our offers more aggressive and we had success. Stephen is personable and easy going yet always on time, delivers on promises and is all business when necessary. You won't find a harder working realtor.
Stephen was super responsive to all my queries and sensitive to my concerns. Plus he has a great sense of humor. He found me the perfect house and I had very particular needs rare in the area in which we were looking. Hes great!
Stephen proved to be a wonderful experienced agent who helped us with a real estate transaction in Fairfield, CA. His extensive knowledge made the transaction move along very swiftly and smoothly. We closed escrow within 3 weeks. He stays on top of any questions you may have and is very responsive in returning calls and Emails. He is a likeable and easy to work with agent, and we highly recommend using his services.
Stephen goes above and beyond on so many levels. We are proud to have him represent us as buyers and sellers and would never look to anyone else!! Would highly recommend him to anyone needing help buying or selling a home. Hes is truly a pleasure to work with.

I first met Stephen Austin after looking online at some houses. I indicated that I was interested in seeing a house. Seconds later, Stephen contacted me and within a hour or so I met him at that house. After that meeting, I knew that he was more than capable to help me accomplish my goal to have a rental. I sold some property in another state and the first thing he did was find me a 1031 Exchange source to hold the proceeds while we hunted for a rental. I had very specific criteria as to what I was interested in buying and exact where I wanted the rental to be. Stephen Austin has helped me every step of the way. He would ask questions and would listen to me in order to fine tune our search. He was always very willing to show me any house I wanted to see and as soon as possible. I really appreciated his caring nature working with me to get the "right" house. STEPHEN AUSTIN YOU ARE THE BEST!!!! Thanks!!!!
Stephen never pressured us to become his client but his extensive knowledge of the local markets and his patience made it clear to us that we could find no better realtor than Stephen. Once we signed with Stephen, he was hard at work. He coached us in all of the steps necessary to show the house. He gave us great referrals to service providers and tips for staging the house. When the roofing company delayed returning a signed contract, Stephen went to their office (during the height of COVID) to get that document. Our house sold in just a few days--even before the first formal scheduled showing--and for more than our asking price. Stephen even shared great ideas for making our move to Arizona and for searching for a new house in Arizona. We think home sellers would be hard pressed to find a better real estate agent anywhere in the East Bay. It was a true pleasure to work with Stephen. You can contact me (David Wanetick) through LinkedIn if you wish.
The most incredible real estate agent I've ever worked with before! Best way to describe is ABOVE AND BEYOND! He kept us informed the whole time and did extra small things that were huge to me and my wife! You want a dependable and trustworthy agent this is your guy!
If you are looking for a Real Estate Agent who genuinely cares and is there for your best interest, Stephen is your guy! He helped my fiancA(C) and I purchase our first home. As you know, buying your first home can definitely be a scary and stressful process, but my experience turned out quite opposite. Stephen made the process as smooth as can be. I loved how he was not the type to just push to make a quick sale. In fact, he actually encouraged my fiancA(C) and I to slow down and reminded us that there is no rush. He definitely knows how to scope out homes and point out positives, negatives, and deal breakers when looking at homes. He also made sure to point out whether or not the potential neighborhood appeared safe or sketchy and to make sure it was a safe and overall good fit for our family. He has excellent communication and gives awesome advice. There was a moment where I got cold feet and questioned if I was making the right decision (I tend to over think). So I shared how I was feeling and Stephen was able to pinpoint the source of my cold feet and reassure me that my feelings were valid and that there was no pressure in making an offer. In the end, I made the offer and Stephen was able to guide us the whole way through. Out of the many offers the seller received, they chose US thanks to Stephens awesome advice and guidance throughout the entire process. Not once did I ever feel I was left in the dark questioning. Stephen communicated and explained every step of the way and openly answered any questions that arose. As Ive said many times, THANK YOU STEPHEN for your endless support, patience, advice, guidance, and superb professionalism throughout the entire home buying process and helping us purchase our first home. I cant thank you enough! If you choose to work with Stephen, you WONT be disappointed!
Stephen is someone that is out for your best interest. His knowledge and professionalism is beyond that of anyone I have ever known in this business.He brings much more than his real estate skills to the table, but also his construction knowledge. He knows what to look for and explains that to you, such a bonus when you are investing in your future with a home purchase.I highly recommend him to be your real estate agent and you will not be disappointed. He went out of his way for me and I now see him as a friend, great person.
Wow! Stephen was absolutely amazing to work with while buying our first home. His energy throughout the whole buying process was so positive and genuine. Stephen actually CARES about how we felt and our opinions and the homes we went and looked at, he gave great feedback on pros and cons, was not pushy what-so-ever, and listened to what we were looking for and worked with us until we found the perfect place . His communication and keeping us updated on all important information was great from start to end. If anyone is looking for an outstanding, genuine, knowledgeable real estate agent I couldnt praise Stephen enough for all the great work he did ! I will definitely be referring him to anyone I know looking to buy ! Thanks Stephen !!!
Stephen was extremely helpful every step of the way. This was our first time selling our home and he went above and beyond from start to end. He was very communicative about the process of selling, advised us during the downsizing process, getting our home ready to take pictures and showings. Whenever there were anything that came up, he would contact us immediately and gave us advise on how to rectify any issues. Not only was he helpful and aggressive to stay on our timeline, he was also there for our family emotionally. He understood where were coming from and had enough empathy to guide us through the selling process. Him and his team worked around the clock to get us to the finish line and close the deal. We appreciate his friendly attitude, professionalism and felt safe with his advise and guidance. We also were having trouble finding rental homes and he even gathered information for us to help us find a great home. We are extremely happy to have had him in our corner! If you are looking for someone to help you during buying or selling, he is the perfect person to have!
Stephen is an amazing realtor to work with! As first time home buyer the whole process seemed daunting but Stephen was there to help guide us through every step of the way! He is quick, responsive, and super knowledgeable. He was able to point out details in homes that I would have never noticed. During our escrow process Stephen constantly checked in with us and made sure we were on track to close. He is ridiculous patient; he helped explain documents that I could initially make no sense of. 30 days after we received our mortgage pre-approval we were able to search, find a house we loved, and close escrow. This could never have been possible without Stephens help. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
Stephen really goes above and beyond when it comes to his clients. He took every step of the process serious, and ensured I was always aware and comfortable with what was going on. He took a stressful event and make it as pleasant of an experience as possible. He really gets to know his clients, and at this point, I would call him a friend. I will definitely recommend him to anyone who is in the market of buying or selling.

Stephen was fantastic!! He was very professional, friendly and his communication was great. Cant say enough great things. Would definitely use him again and highly recommend him if you are looking for an agent..
Stephen was amazing! He was a great from the start. Our process to find a home took about 6 months but so worth it. Just when my husband and I were getting ready to give up and say we would look for our dream home next year, Stephen called us and had the home of our dreams for our growing family. He kept us on track and we were able to close and move in within a a month. We 100% recommend him for anyone looking to purchase their forever home or even just an investment. Forever greatfull with you Stephen Austin.
Where do I start, I was on the verge of losing my home and I ask Stephen to help me sale my home. I told him about my situation and that I had less than 3 weeks to sale. Honestly, I can say his passion to help others is a blessing. In less than 3 weeks, he was able to market, and close a deal on my home. His team is remarkable, trustworthy and dedicated. All in all, if anyone is looking for home or to sell a home, I recommend Stephen and his team 100% they are truly there to help. Thank you again and appreciate everththing you did for me and my family.
I was recommended by a friend to work with Stephen when looking to buy a home. I felt like he truly listened to what I wanted and presented me with homes that were tailored to my specifications. I can be difficult to work with seeing as I have a strong type A personality and am a perfectionist. I found working with Stephen efficient and enjoyable. Stephen always answered the phone, and he would respond to my e-mail's within minutes. His goal oriented demeanor and personable attitude made my home buying experience positive and memorable.
Stephen provided the most stress-free experience I could have ever conceptualize for my first time home-buying process. The process of going through a home purchase has many factors that can be incredibly confusing, stressful and daunting for someone to navigate as a first time home-buyer, despite having taken a couple of courses on the matter. But not for me! Stephen was incredibly organized, prompt, and passionate about his job. He made this process a breeze and was incredibly articulate every step of the way. No question was too stupid.I met with Stephen at the beginning of March and closed on my home purchase at the end of the month! I can't wait to begin my new life a home-owner. I highly recommend Stephen!! If Stephen calls you, you should consider him a strong candidate to guide you through your purchase!
I came to Stephen with the needs of buying a home in the next year but my credit isn't the greatest. He instructed me on how to get my credit up by referring me to a company that could help, and what it would take to be purchase a house by the end of the year. The process of working with him and the answer he provided me were very informative. It was a pleasure to work with him and he will be the realtor I choose to help purchase my home.

I have been working with Stephen since the beginning of the new year. As a single mother, investing in a new home for my family has been a huge goal of mine. The thought of doing it on my own was nerve wrecking to say the least. I was referred to Stephen through a good friend of mine and am now excited as ever to buy. Stephen has been very attentive to my concerns and needs because of my situation. He has guided me in the right direction and taken me to homes that have completely fit my requirements. He is quick to respond and gives you every detail you need to know so that you can make the most informed decision. THANK YOU so much Stephen for your help in finding me and my daughter a new home in Concord.
