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 think an emotional roller coaster is inevitable with the process of buying or selling a home, which is even more of a reason to use someone like Steven who truly has your back. The decision to use him was based on trust and outstanding merit.
I was very nervous about the process but Steven always knows how to break it down when you ask questions or mention doubts, he makes sure things are clear and in your best interest. I think the key points are trustworthy and timely communication that set Steven and his team apart from any other agent out there.

As first time sellers, our experience was great! It was executed just about perfectly, despite being in the midst of a pandemic!

Father-son duo Steven and Nathan Padilla made us feel like family, always taking care of us!

They put a lot of work into selling our house. Steven gave it his undivided attention and was available to us any day, at any time!

We were extremely happy with the time frame in which out house sold, and we even broke the record in price for our area!

We confidently recommend Steven Padilla for your real estate needs!

I went threw 2 different agents before Steven . They where not professional and was only looking into me purchasing a house right away . When I met Steven he was completely the opposite. He sat with me and my wife and we talked about what I was looking into. He was super understanding and pacient with me you can tell his been doing his work for over 33 years. The process was so smooth and fast thanks to Steven . He made me feel like he was not my agent more like a friend and that is what I like more about him . He made sure all my questions where answered when ever I asked him something. All I can say is thank you Steven and his team I will seriously recommend all my family and friends to him and will work with him eventually in the future to get a bigger home . Best agent I have ever worked with

Steven Padilla's attention to detail and recognizing the needs of my mother did not go unnoticed! He allowed an extension on escrow closing to allow her time to move to her next residence. Steven made himself available at all times, even on Sundays, to respond to and answer questions anytime we posed to him. If you're looking for a real estate agent who will definitely place your best interest ahead of his own, Steven Padilla is the guy to call!!!!

We gave Steven 2 houses to sell right before the Coronvirus Pandemic and we were afraid that they wouldn't sell. But Steven and his team came through. Like Steven said there are serious buyers out there that want to buy a home. If you are thinking about Selling or Buying don't hesitate and call Steven. I highly recommend him!!

Steven went above and beyond for our family. He listened attentively, ensured all questions and needs were met, and was above all respectful. We were first time home buyers but his expertise made us feel confident, and valued. He went to bat for us when we needed it most. He ensured that all our questions were answered promptly. We feel honored to have worked with Steven. We look forward to working with Steven in the future and absolutely will ensure to recommend his services to friends and family. Thank you Steven!

Steven Padilla and Nate Padilla are both fantastic. They explained the process and walked through each step with our family and were not pushy. Because of them, we were able to buy the house that we wanted! God bless Steve and Nate!

Steven found us great contractors to do some quick fixes around the house to prepare it for sale. He helped explain everything we could expect from the selling process. We had the luck of dealing with a buyers agent that would not answer questions for days at a time, I was beginning to get frustrated. Steven calmed me down a few times and assured me everything would work out at the end, which it did. THANK YOU STEVEN!

When I met Steven, I was 19 years old. He asked me if I wanted to buy a house because the prices were really cheap. He guided me with the bank but I didn't have any credit. Now the plan was to open 2 lines of credit and in three months I would be ready. Sure enough I was in a house at the age of 20. We sold the house about 7 years later and I made a really good profit. Fast forward a few years later and we are ready to sell my mother’s house, but it needs some TLC. Steven offered to help and loan us money to repair my mother’s house to get TOP DOLLAR. Just as Steven recommended, we did the kitchen, landscape and interior paint. We got $$$ TOP DOLLAR $$$!!! We're very happy with Steven, not only for his real estate knowledge and experience but his willingness to financially help us to get the most money for my mother’s house. Now he sold me another house in Compton that I plan to do an ADU... just like Steven recommended.

Steven is great! He’s extremely knowledgeable and he knows what he is doing. I dealt with him before and used him again for my home purchase. I can only say good things about him and would highly recommend him to family and friends for their home sale or purchases. I’m happy with his work well done! Thank you Steven.
