Testimonials

We recently closed the sale of Shirley Anderson's house located in Northridge. At the start of this process, we received Steve Major's name on a referral. We couldn't be more satisfied with the service he has provided on this transaction. This was a difficult transaction from the start as the homeowner and her family members live in Minnesota. The property required extensive repairs including termite fumigation, a new roof, new furnace, new A/C, new carpet, new electrical wiring, new plumbing, and a long list of smaller repair items. Steve provided us with referrals for reliable vendors for many of needed repairs. Steve helped us determine the correct timing to list the property and the appropriate listing price. Steve is honest, professional, and so tactful. We appreciate the way he constantly worked to bring the buyer and seller together when there was an item of negotiation. Steve wen…

Steve went above and beyond the call of duty to do whatever was necessary to make the sale happen. He spent many hours at the property letting contractors in and out. He kept us updated daily on the issues related to the property. When you are selling a property from across the country, you need a realtor you can trust. During the entire process, we knew we could count on Steve Major. We truly appreciate all of his hard work. Sincerely, John Reed Forsman POA for Shirley Anderson

I would like to introduce you to a person I now consider a friend, Steve Major. I first met Steve at an open house. He had Windex in one hand and paper towels in the other and was thoroughly cleaning the windows. I had to ask him if he was the realtor as I am not used to seeing realtors do windows. The living room and dining room had also been staged right down to immaculate table settings in an otherwise vacant house. Steve told me he had done this using some his own furniture as he thought a staged home sold better than a vacant one. I of course saved his card. You meet few realtors who work so hard to sell your home. When Steve came to my home to appraise it, he was very gracious. This was July of 2007 and the market was very difficult. Steve only sees the positive in life and was confident he could sell my home. He also never complained about my adorable but barky dogs and my motorho…

You meet few realtors who work so hard to sell your home. When Steve came to my home to appraise it, he was very gracious. This was July of 2007 and the market was very difficult. Steve only sees the positive in life and was confident he could sell my home. He also never complained about my adorable but barky dogs and my motorhome I liked parked in the front yard. I also refused a lockbox and insisted one of us be there for all showings to keep my dogs safe. Other realtors had suggested my dogs and motorhome could go somewhere, but Steve assured me they were not a problem. My home was sold to a very nervous first time buyer with an inexperienced realtor who seemed quite interested in time off and going to Vegas. Steve did both their jobs expertly. My beautiful but 50 year old home, underwent hours of repeated inspections and complaints. When I could not tolerate this and would sneak out to the dog park or for a destressing message, Steve would stay. My home did close on time which amazed me but sot Steve. I have been known to worry about things and the buyer worries more than I ever could. Steve was positive enough for all three of us and held sale together I m sure would not have closed without him. I had to pack 12 years of accumulation last minute since I did not believe the house was really sold. When Steve saw how stressed I was, he took a morning out of his very busy life to help me. We did the worst job- the garage. He thne came to my moving sale carrying a rhubarb pie. Anyway, if you want a realtor who is consistently thorough and will only see the positive in every situation, I recommend Steve Major. However, starting to pack a little the day he lists your home might be a good idea! Sincerely Sharon Chaplin

Dear Steve, I wanted to write you this letter to thank you making our home purchase happen. Although unusual circumstances lead us to you initially, you really understood what we were looking for in a home immediately. Needless to say, you showed us the perfect home at the exactly right price without dragging us to numerous houses across the valley. Still, with any real estate purchase transaction, there are difficulties. You made each step in the purchase go smoothly, making numerous extra trips and accommodating our busy schedule. You were quick to return calls, and managed or expectations perfectly. Even when potential difficulties arose, you were often the calm voice in the middle of the storm. However, the true test of character to me was that you continued to follow through with outstanding issues with our purchase even after the transaction closed. Thank you again for your profess…

If you are looking for a real estate agent or broker to sell your precious home with a zeal and commitment that goes above and beyond the call of duty, then we unhesitatingly recommend Steven Major. From our first serendipitous meeting until close of escrow, he was unfailing (and untiring) in his dedication to doing his very best on our behalf. His positive attitude and optimism laced with realism did not waver. His strategies and advice were solid. The energy that Steven and his delightful wife Fay put into making sure that our home was presented in the best light possible to prospective buyers proved an unexpected bonus. When we all agreed that a little deck furniture and some fresh dining chairs would enhance the picture, Steven merely rolled up with a U-Haul. It was tempting to pull down the ‘For Sale’ sign and stay put, the house looked so good. I doubt that Steven was delighted whe…

If you are looking for a real estate agent or broker to sell your precious home with a zeal and commitment that goes above and beyond the call of duty, then we unhesitatingly recommend Steven Major. From our first serendipitous meeting until close of escrow, he was unfailing (and untiring) in his dedication to doing his very best on our behalf. His positive attitude and optimism laced with realism did not waver. His strategies and advice were solid. The energy that Steven and his delightful wife Fay put into making sure that our home was presented in the best light possible to prospective buyers proved an unexpected bonus. When we all agreed that a little deck furniture and some fresh dining chairs would enhance the picture, Steven merely rolled up with a U-Haul. It was tempting to pull down the ‘For Sale’ sign and stay put, the house looked so good. I doubt that Steven was delighted when we chose to reject the first decent offer that came in on our home. What agent would be? However, we weren’t comfortable with the would-be purchasers. It was a gut feeling on my part in particular. I didn’t think that the would-be buyers had the appreciation for a home and garden into which so much hard work and TLC had been poured and feared it would be torn down for an investor. It could happen one day, but we all want to think that homes we’ve loved and been happy in will end up in good hands. Steven instinctively understood this and to his credit, did not try to dissuade me from following my heart. Ultimately, he found us delightful buyers in a difficult market in less than six weeks at a price that made us smile. My husband and I highly recommend Steven and his services.

I am a self employed, forty-four year old, married man, and now former long-time resident of the west San Fernando Valley thanks to the outstanding services provided by Steve Major in the sale of my home last month. I highly recommend a consultation with Steve to anyone approaching the real estate market. My home-selling experience with him was outstanding. His experience in real estate was obvious from the beginning, but I never felt as though he “knew it all.” He was knowledgeable, practical, prompt, available, thorough, reasonable and willing to roll up his sleeves. From consultation to close (only about five weeks by the way) Steve carried the task as a true professional and somehow at the same time became a good friend. His intuition for negotiation and people in general is remarkable. He is always positive and that helps tremendously in a potentially stressful process. “Going the e…
