About

I've been in the business since 1987. I am the top agent in my office, with a lot of production generated through positive word of mouth, person-to-person experiences, social media, and mailouts cultivated through a capable and productive team. Instagram is one of the outlets that has made me stand out, as it has helped me solidify my presence online.

One of the reasons why I garner a successful business through real estate is because of the long-term relationships I keep with my clients. I stay in contact with old and new clients so that they know whatever they need, even if it isn't real estate related, they can come to me. 2022 was a good year for us as we reached $1 million dollars in sales. The first person to achieve this milestone for our office.

Among the company, I have been recognized as a Century 21 Grand Centurion, President's Producer, Quality Service Pinnacle Producer, Double Centurion, Centurion, Quality Service Producer, and many more.

I received several letters from various agencies regarding the probate sale of my fathers house. I researched several of them and Steven Padilla had the best overall ratings on his website so I chose him. I'm very glad I chose him, he was very friendly, made himself available to me 24/7. He never pressured me and took the time to thoroughly explain things to me.

Although I never met Steven in person, due to the fact that I live in Fresno, CA, he treated me with the utmost kindness and he's very approachable. He returned all of my calls and answered all of my questions.

Steven Padilla did an excellent job in selling my property, I would highly recommend him to others.

In addition, your strong and positive network with related professionals and businesses (mortgage lender) streamlined the process.
is my pleasure to recommend Mr. Steven Padilla as a top real estate agent who helped us with our recent property purchase. He always tried his best and was ready with excellent advice to get us the best deal on the house. We recommend him for his expertise, experience and integrity.

Steven, you exceeded my expectations, and I hope to work with you again.

Steven Padilla is a diligent worker who is capable, experienced and motivated to help his client. He goes out of his way to accommodate his client.

In our sale, he had an uphill battle with a very unreasonable seller. Nevertheless, his outlook toward the challenges were very positive and that he could overcome the issues. Indeed he overcame those obstacles with favor towards our conditions.

Thanks Steven

Steven and Alma did a great job marketing the property and doing the open houses.
They kept me updated during the escrow and they worked hard to get it closed.
I would recommend him and would be willing to talk to a prospective seller to help him get the listing.

From the moment I contacted Steven he was responsive and eager to market our property. He always called when he said he would call. The property he was selling for me was a rental property, As a result, I was not present to see sales activity. Steven kept me in the loop as to showings and buyer's and broker's comments. I have sold many properties over the years and Steven is a true professional and a stand out!

Without hesitation, I recommend Steven Padilla

Robert Thompson, Seller in Carson

I received an extensive sales market report from the broker, Steven that was well prepared, very comprehensive and left a very positive impression of the attention to detail I would receive in listing my property. Steven and his staff were always available for any questions and concerns regarding this transaction. I deeply appreciate the level of detail that was demonstrated in both in written and verbal communication. Navigating the complexity of this sale could not have been completed without their knowledge and professionalism. The experience and professionalism of both Steven Padilla and his entire team were critical to the successful sale and closing of my property. I could not have hoped for a better real estate experience and would highly recommend this team for anyone desiring a timely and competent sale of their home. From valuable advice and great communication to securing the necessary services to make this sale happen, I am more than satisfied with all the service I receive

Mario Gonzalez, Buyer & Seller in Long Beach

Steven Padilla is very professional and knowledgeable about Probates. My family and I felt very blessed to have had the opportunity of working with Steven Padilla and his team. What I appreciate from Steven is that he would call me every Monday to give me updates on the sale of my property. He went above and beyond and made the process super smoothly. My family and I are very grateful, will definitely recommend Steven to friends and family!!

Joy Elizabeth, Seller in Glassel Park

I have purchased and sold many (13 homes) in my life so far. Steven (and Nate) without a doubt were the best Realtors I have worked with. They went out of their way to get things accomplished swiftly and smoothly. They went out of their way on many things throughout the very short course of our working together. So knowledgeable and fast to answer back and get information. I would absolutely recommend Steven Padilla as the Realtor for anyone looking to buy or sell! I know I will continue to only use Steven (and NatePadilla) for every purchase or sale in California. Thank you Steven and Nate for ALL you did!!! You are truly AMAZING!

Kathy Manly, Seller in Sun City

Everyone I had contact with during the process of selling through Century 21 A Better Service Realty was courteous, knowledgeable and professional. Steven Padilla and agent Aaron Padilla were always on top of every situation.

Maria R., Seller in South Gate

This was my first time selling a house and I'm so glad I found Steven. He put me at ease as soon as I spoke with him over the phone. It was important for me to find someone that had experience with probate and was familiar with the city of South Gate. Steven was very professional and attentive. He was very proactive and handled my sensitive situation with a lot of care. He is passionate about his work, it showed from start to finish. I am recommending him to all my friends and family.
