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.

Steven and Nate Padilla continue to smash records and exceed all expectations!
They listed my property and were able to negotiate $20k above asking price in less than a week. I would recommend their services based off of their expertise, proffesionalism, and speed. Thank you guys, looking forward to the next deal!

I needed a realtor with experience in trust sales and found Steven through a google search. After speaking with him about his vision to sell the property, I knew I had contacted the right person. Steven and Nate were excellent communicators, attentive to my sales needs, and efficiently managed the entire process. I have nothing but praise for Steven (and Nate), and I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking an expert real estate agent.

Steven helped me buy this property at the beginning of the year, and he helped me sell it before the end of the year. He has over 30 years of knowledge and real estate experience. Contact him, he'll help you!!

I've known Steven for over 20 years, and he's helped me and my family in 4 real estate transactions. He helped me buy the property and after we rehabed it, he helped me sell it. If you're thinking about buying or selling real estate, I highly recommend you talk to Steven before you talk to anyone else...

After my mother passed away, we needed to put her condominium on the market; I had never sold property before. Steven Padilla and Adrian Garcia guided me through the process in a way that was very understandable. It took about a month to sell the condo. I strongly recommend Steven and Adrian because they made the process of selling the property much easier.

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.

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!

I would recommend Steven Padilla and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. He and his team provided excellent service - good communication, follow -up and hard work going the extra mile to get things done. It wasn't an easy sale. It was my parents' home, my childhood home - sold in "as is" condition. So, a bit of an emotional journey for me which Steven and team understood and handled very well.
