Client Reviews

"The house sold quickly for a great price."

Steve worked with my family (5 siblings) when we decided to sell our family home of 51 years. From the beginning he impressed us with his knowledge and experience, especially of the local market, pricing, marketing, and suggestions for what to do, or not do, to prepare the house for sale. His responsiveness and communication throughout the process was appreciated. The house sold quickly for a great price. Via Zoom Steve helped my family review offers and come to a decision. Needless to say, going through the escrow process with 5 owners was no easy feat, but Steve and his team guided us through that process with patience and expertise. Thank you to Steve and everyone at the Epstein Partners for everything!

"Couldn't be happier with Steve."

Steve Epstein was a huge help to us from beginning to end. He spent a good part of a day with us back in October when we weren't even sure that we were actually going to be moving to SB, and then helped us out when we flew in from Phoenix to find our house in just a short weekend. He helped us navigate what to look for, where to look and we ended up with the perfect house in a great location. Couldn't be happier with Steve and his amazing knowledge of the SB/Goleta area.

"An effective Realtor."

Steve did an excellent job in helping us purchase our first home in Santa Barbara. His deep knowledge of the Santa Barbara real estate market combined with his long list of local contacts for supporting resources makes him an effective Realtor for anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

"Steve is an incredible resource."

Steve is a fantastic agent with decades of direct Santa Barbara-market experience. My most recent experience with Steve was actually working with a colleague of his, who Steve referred me to, for the purpose of finding and leasing a corporate headquarters facility. Steve found me the perfect agent with specific expertise in the industrial/commercial space, and I was able to find the perfect location for my business. Steve is an incredible resource for anyone looking to buy or sell a property in Santa Barbara, and can also help with anything real estate related. He has been in town all his life, and his experience is reflected in his ability to effectively complete transactions.

"A true professional."

Steve Epstein is a true professional. From beginning to end, there were no surprises. Thanks to his knowledge and expertise when he saw that something needed to be done, he pointed it out. Two days after an Open House, we received two offers and one became a sale. He kept me apprised of all situations as they arose. Steve and his team are true professionals.

"You can't go wrong choosing to work with this great group!"

A very professional team that is really interested in the satisfaction of all parties involved. I would imagine that anybody would want to work with a group of people who are part of and understand our community and easily understand the needs of any buyer or seller. You can't go wrong choosing to work with this great group!
- Mark S.

"Do yourself a favor and use Steve and his team!"

Steve Epstein again did a fantastic job of putting together a very complete listing of a high end property and doing an, as promised, STRONG marketing of that listing. We got a great price but also received very responsive and sensitive representation and support from Steve. He promises a lot in front but, unlike many other agents, he delivers at least if not more than promised. I have used him in the past and will use him again. NOTE: I happen to be a licensed Realtor with over 40 years working with other agents. I understand that people rely upon referrals and I do not take the job of a referral lightly. Do yourself a favor and use Steve and his team!

"The best!"

I want to thank Steve Epstein so much for making a difficult time flow quickly with a kind sense of humor, so appreciated! Steve knew what we needed in inspections and knew who to call to get it done. He guided us in pricing that proved very successful! The virtual staging presented our home in its 'as is' state very beautifully. Steve was very helpful in answering our questions. We would highly recommend him for all of your house selling needs. He is the best!

"He was outstanding."

We had a great experience working with Steve Epstein during the sale of my parents’ home in Santa Barbara. Steve was very professional, knowledgeable, and most helpful throughout the entire process which was complicated by us living out of state. Steve was quite resourceful, so we learned to trust him to handle several items on our behalf. He was outstanding, always volunteering to help with whatever we might need. Also, we enjoyed Steve’s sense of humor during a stressful period for us as this was an estate sale of a special place for many family members. Steve is a consummate pro and a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend him to handle your real estate transactions.

Steve Epstein is one of the most knowledgeable and competent real estate agents in town. He is the only one I would trust selling or buying a house. I have known him for 25 years and he is very giving of his time and expertise, personally and for charity events. He is a good man and very smart.

Steve made what could have been an extremely stressful process in a very challenging market into a comfortable experience. We were impressed with his integrity and his long-term relationship view which kept us from feeling stressed or pressured throughout our lengthy search and complex closing process. His local knowledge and Rolodex of inspectors and experts helped us navigate a new market with ease.

"He did a great job."

Steve Epstein sold our house. He certainly had his work cut out for him as about 50 groups came through to see it. He did a great job showing the place! We had two offers, stayed with the first offer, and are now settled in our home in Santa Rosa. I would use him again!

"Great experience working with Steve!"

Great experience working with Steve! He knows the market and has been in this town for a long time!

"Everything went so smoothly."

I hired Steve Epstein to help me find a new place out here, and he did exactly that. Told him my budget and what I was looking for and literally the next day he had places ready for me and ready to check out. Found my new home in a week and everything went so smoothly I cannot believe it.

Steve Epstein is a pro from start to end. He’s knowledgeable in every aspect of selling and marketing homes. I could not have asked for more and was extremely happy with his service. A+ service from beginning to end.

"You hit the jackpot if Steve is your Realtor!"

Steve Epstein was my agent in 1998 when I bought my house in SB and in 2013, when I sold my house 15 years later. He went above and beyond the call of duty as my Realtor. You hit the jackpot if Steve is your Realtor!!!

"A scale of one to ten.... simply doesn’t do this man justice."

My house sold quickly in a down market, that could be praise enough. A scale of one to ten.... simply doesn’t do this man justice.”

"The price we wanted!"

I’m not sure there are adequate words to thank you enough for your support through this challenging for us process. I think you somehow understood how traumatic it was for a couple of 80+ year olds to be leaving their comfortable and spectacularly located home of many years to enable us to move to a retirement community. Just your appreciation of that was an important step.
Then came all the huge detail and preparation, the complication of multiple trust involvement, the need to dispose of furniture and personal items we were not going to move, the moving of what we wanted move and actually arranging the sale of some surplus items. Inspections of the property, and on and on - too much to list.
And you got us the price we wanted! Then you got a solid and contingent free sale commitment within a week of listing. The closing arrangements went totally smoothly and efficiently due to your thorough work throughout the process. Finally - We have met and really like the buyers and are happy that they appreciate the neighborhood they will be part of.We see you as more than a totally competent professional - you became our friend too. Thank you.
- Alan S. & Mary Ann J.
