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 really helped us with the process of purchasing our first home. I am a first time buyer and he walked me through the whole process. He returns phone calls on time, he pays attention to details and he really helps us understand and explain the process of appraisal and inspections. I would highly recommend Steven and Alma to all my friends and relatives.

From the first moment I met Steven Padilla to discuss putting my home up for sale until the day I moved into my new home, he was with me every step of the way. His passion for his career comes through in his professional manner, warmth, knowledge and always positive attitude. To sum up: STEVEN PADILLA IS ABOVE AMAZING!

I have worked with Steven Padilla over 10 years. Steven is my go to agent when I’m looking for a property to invest in. I just tell him what exactly I’m looking for and he gets right on it. Several days later is showing me properties that meet my criteria. He makes buying so easy. I would definitely recommend Steven to anyone.

My wife and I would like to thank our agent Steven Padilla for helping us find our home and guiding us through the home purchase process. We were first time home buyers, and we were very nervous at the beginning. Steven helped alleviate most of the stress by clearly explaining each step of the process and setting realistic expectations. Steven was very easy to reach and answered all questions in a timely manner. He is a true professional. I would highly recommend him to friends and family.

Thank you, Steven, for exceeding our expectations!

My experience with Mr Padia was very pleasant. He is very polite and helpful person.

He always is available and returns your call. He helped us with other aspects of sale, such as finding a contractor.

He is very modest and fine person.

Steven was an absolute pleasure to work with. This is our (my fiance and I) first time buying a home and Steven made every step of the way easy and took the time to explain everything. He went beyond helping us buy and took the time to get to know us so that he could help us find our dream home. Once we found the home we wanted, Steven coordinated calls/emails between us and all the other parties and kept the seller accountable. We plan to work with Steven again on our future sale and when we plan to buy another home. We would highly recommend and trust Steven with our family and friends because of how wonderful he was to work with. We are both highly satisfied and happy to call Steven our Realtor and our Friend. Thanks Steven

I would recommend him to family and friends. I think that says it all.

Alma and the lady from escrow were very friendly and helpful. Steven Padilla did well and that's why I would recommend him! When I was in the hospital Steven took care of everything and I knew I was in good hands during my recovery.
