Stefan West came recommended to us by a friend who also had a great experience with purchasing a new home. Needless to say we were not disappointed in any way whatsoever, and we can say without a doubt that he even exceeded our expectations. Stefan constantly and consistently went above and beyond to make sure that we found the home that we loved over the 18 months that we were searching for a home to purchase. He always did his absolute best to conform to our time schedule, even at a moments notice when we would suddenly find a house that we just had to go see that same day with just hours notice. He never ignored us or let his commitment to servicing us dissipate in any way over the past 18 months, even after times when we feared that he might want to abandon our unyielding pickiness for homes that he showed us. Even when Stefan would go away on vacation, when most people would have gone off the grid and ceased any contact, he would go out of his way to contact us and ensure that we were being taken care of. One thing that my wife and I especially appreciated was Stefan taking the time to really explain everything to us, advising us, and candidly so that we knew what to expect. There were times that his advisement even meant less commission for him, which really showed that he cares about his clients and really, genuinely wants the absolute best for them and not what is best for his own bank account such as we have run into with other self-serving Realtors in past transactions. I could really go on all day about the great things that Stefan did for us. Plain and simple if you want to ensure that your home purchase is as smooth and pleasant as possible, and furthermore that you and your family's best interests are being looked out for, go with West Realty. Their dedication to customer service is bar none and not only would we without a doubt use Stefan and his team again, we are referring any friends or family to use him for their own home purchase or selling needs. On a side note, we saw that there was a negative review of Missy, a Realtor there at West Realty, and at one point when Stefan was out of town and unavailable to go with us to home tours, she went out of her way to meet up with us less than an hour later even when she was a fair distance out of town herself. She was also very good at advising us and making us aware of the process with potentially purchasing a new-build home. Our experience with her was very good, and we felt that we were in just as good hands with her as we were with Stefan, and she definitely was a a contributing factor to the phenomenal experience that we had with West Realty. We greatly appreciate the hard work and sacrifice of Stefan and his entire team in helping us find the perfect house for us! read more

Stefan West was referred to me by close friends as being the BEST real estate agent ever. I totally agree 100% and would refer him to anyone without hesitation! Buying a house is a stressful process, regardless of whether you're a first time buyer or a seasoned veteran. Though I am not a first time home buyer, Stefan consistently went above and beyond to make sure that my purchase was a seamless and stress-free process from start to finish. This was the smoothest and easiest home buying experience that I have ever been through! Stefan is a very knowledgeable, hard-working and experienced agent - and you can tell that he is dedicated to his clients. He is extremely personable, has a wonderful positive attitude, is meticulous in his work and pays great attention to detail. You can always reach Stefan very quickly...he responded to my e-mails, phone calls and texts in a timely manner and took the time to explain everything to me. I really appreciated his continuous updates and progress throughout the whole process of buying my home. All of the staff at West Realty is very efficient, friendly and helpful as well...thank you, Christina! Stefan also has a lot of connections for other services needed to assist his clients in facilitating their move. He recommended a fantastic mortgage broker who is every bit as experienced and wonderful to work with as he is. Thank you, Stefan, for being so AWESOME at what you do!!! I really enjoyed working with you! I will definitely be referring everyone I know who is looking to buy or sell a home in the Temecula/Murrieta area to Stefan West and his team at West Realty! read more

We had met with a broker referred to us by a friend. He seemed nice but too much of a "suit"....no personality or excitement to him. Didn't know the area and way off in what we wanted to sell for. Met with some other agents and nothing felt right. Then came across a flyer on our table..."Mr. Murrieta...the most interesting man in real estate." We loved the personality it portrayed so gave him a call. We knew we found our guy. Super knowledge about what was going on in the market around us and instead of basing a price just off past comps, had foresight in mind when pricing. We decided to price at the top of the market. We requested a specific type picture done for our house and he was super excited to oblige. Even the night before I called him requesting we bump the price up. Already at the top of the market and being a risk. ..he not only said ok but had excitement about it and gave me all faith he would get it done. The first day on the market we had two full price offers. Within 5 days and some back and forth from multiple buyers we got over asking! Not to mention he made the fact we were transferring solar lease in the process a piece of cake. The worrier that I am, he always gave me peace of mind, he always had open lines of communication, and made me feel as if I was his only/most important customer he had. If I could give him more stars I surely would. I would recommend him to anyone I know wanting to buy or sell. read more

Many people approached me when I first moved to the area. All claimed to know the home market and could help me find the "perfect home." I chose Mr. West's office and have never had a moment of regret. We started by narrowing down my desires to a neighborhood, to a model, and ultimately finding a motivated seller. We must have spent hours just narrowing things down. Missy stayed with me each step -- finding the home, making the offer, getting loan documents through to escrow, and even making sure I was satisfied after the move in date. Heck, she even drove over on the closing date to make sure everything was going well. Best feature, and a reason to use Mr. West's office, all documents were signed online. This made the process very fast. Buying a home is filled with moments of tension. Luckily Missy pushed the sale through and helped. I now own the perfect home, better than expected when I began looking for a house. I couldn't have done it without her and the quick replies from West's office. As a side note, the sale of my house in another city was a disaster. The realtor messed up paperwork and was always two weeks behind requirements needed by escrow. In fact, escrow messed up three times, and the realtor was never involved. In contrast, Missy was with me the whole way. This is why I know that Mr. West's office is THE perfect choice. Don't hesitate. You will not be sorry. read more

MrMurreita, Stephan, is amazing!!! This our first house we sold. We had no idea what goes into selling a house. During our initial meeting, we laid it all out there, about the stress and uncertainty of selling a home. Stephan made us feel comfortable and helped out in any manner he could. I can't think of a better, more through, caring, and excellent real estate professional in all of Murrieta and Temecula. Stephan made the whole process very simple. We got more than our asking price for our house and we accepted an offer after 35 days on the market; even during the least active time of the year for selling homes (Oct-Nov). Stephan ensured our home was marketed and advertised properly; he doesn't spare any expense with marketing. We live out of the area and Stephan ensured our house was still taken care of by checking on the house, making sure it views well and is clean, and any issues that come up he notifies us. Stephan is very through and ensured we knew where we are in the process, how many viewings we had every week and what other brokers were saying about the house. I don't know who else does that, but it helped us ensure we were making the right decisions and possible changes to the selling of our house. If your looking for someone who will always be there during the sale of your house, look no further than MrMurrieta, Stephan. Plus his ad humor is really funny. read more

I wish I could give Stefan more than 5 stars, he is that good! He helped us buy our home when we were moving down with military orders. It was not an easy process, as we were out of state, but he worked so hard to make the transition smooth and easy. As we are moving again, he helped us sell our home and I cannot recommend him enough. Our home sold in 5 days!!! Stefan made beautiful fliers, marketed the home wonderfully and we had 15 offers to choose from, 13 of which were above our asking price. There are two other homes on our street for sale, they did not get the traffic or offers that we received. We were closed within 2 weeks! There was not one hiccup, it really could not have gone better. Stefan was even on vacation while we were in the closing process and he was calling and texting to make sure things were going as planned. I wish we could take him with us to our next duty station to help us find our next home! He even spent time researching an agent in the area we are moving and narrowed down one that he would feel comfortable with us using. To me, that is going above and beyond!!! Stefan is incredibly friendly, funny and so knowledgable of the home buying and selling processes. He never felt like an agent to our family, he felt like a friend. read more

If you are looking to buy your dream home or sell your current residence, Stefan West is your guy! Buying We had a quick relocation to Southern CA and Stefan worked diligently to ensure we found the house we were looking for at a price that was fair. I have never been around a realtor that puts so much extra time, homework and research into making his clients happy. He truly makes it personal and treats you like family. Selling Unfortunately, we were only in Temecula for 22 months (another relocation). We immediately called Stefan West to make him aware of the move. He quickly coordinated a professional photographer, created the listing, put together marketing material and scheduled an open house. Stefan is an aggressive guy and together we decided to price the house at the TOP of the market. After just a couple days (before the open house) we had multiple offers, at or above asking price. These were the easiest buying and selling real estate transactions we have ever had (5 moves so far). If you are looking to buy low and sell high...make it easy and have some fun, give Stefan West Reality a call. read more

Stefan is as amazing as it gets when it comes to buying or selling a home! If I could give him 100 stars, I would without hesitation! When we purchased our home, he made it fun and exciting! He considered all of the options we wanted, the location we wanted to be in, and the specifics we wanted in our home. He took us to countless homes, always striving to find exactly what we wanted! He has a passion for his industry, integrity in all he does, and is extremely knowledgeable in the real estate market! After our transaction, we've referred friends and family to him! He helped my parents both buy and sell their home, and was nothing short of fantastic the entire time, selling their home on the first day of their open house! Our family not only gained a wonderful and dependable real estate agent, but a dependable friend who we've stayed in contact with for over eight years and counting! Stefan, you will always be our "go to" man when it comes to homes, and I will continue to refer you to ANYBODY looking to buy or sell a home in our area!! Thank you for your devotion to your clients!! read more

Stefan has been amazing for us both in selling our current home and purchasing our new one. We feel like we've been dealing with a close friend or family member rather than a real estate agent. He is extremely informative on all the locations and neighboorhoods, which was very important for us having only lived in the area for about two years, and he is astoundingly honest and straight forward, such a breath of fresh air from some of the other agents we've met. There wasn't a question that he hasn't been able to answer and openly gives fair advice and helped us with things that we would've never thought of if it weren't for him. He has been so personal with his visits and constantly keeping us updated with any detail that we've needed. We are almost sad to finish out the process becuase we will miss getting to spend so much time with him :) We would refer him to anyone in need of a real estate agent and we will continue to use him many times over in the future. read more

My husband and I called Stefan to sell our home on a Sunday not even thinking he would answer, we just intended on leaving a voicemail. However Stefan did answer and I believe it was super bowl Sunday at that. Right away he got our information and followed up on Monday morning. From that moment we were already impressed. We set up a meeting and he showed up with a binder in hand with a photo of our home, comps from the area, a timeline and a game-plan to get our home sold in the manner we were most comfortable with. Also side note, he has a great attitude and sense of humor! He was extremely helpful, communicative and knowledgeable on EVERYTHING! We put our house on the market on a Thursday and were in escrow by the following Monday with 50k over asking. There is no doubt, we couldn't have done this transaction as successfully as we did without the help of Stefan! I would recommend him to anyone in the area. We are very grateful for such a smooth experience! read more

Hiring Stefan West as our realtor was the best decision we could have made. Selling our rental property in Murrieta from out of state could have been a logistics nightmare, but Stefan made the process seamless. He has an abundance of energy and the ability to meet any challenge head on and solve it. He is all about taking action. There were situations that I could not handle myself from Texas. He checked the property on a regular basis, met with and hired professionals to handle serious issues that came up, and constantly kept me in the loop. He's an excellent communicator and negotiator and is refreshingly honest and straightforward. He respectfully listened to my opinions and did not force his own. I believe his is equally respectful toward other realtors as well and works toward a common goal for a happy buyer and a happy seller. He knows his business extremely well. I only wish I had another house for him to sell. read more

Mr. Murrieta is Mr. Fantastic. Moving is stressful. Moving cross country adds a whole new level of crazy to the process. Stefan West not only made the process less stressful, he was a true joy to work with. His knowledge of the area and his negotiation skills were invaluable. He visited numerous houses for us, and used photographs and video tapes to help us narrow our search. Stefan was always easy to contact, responded promptly, and kept us up to date through the entire process. When we decided on a house, he negotiated a great price and upgrades for us. After the sale, he continued to check on the property until we were able to move. He was wonderful to work with. We would certainly work with him again on our next real estate venture. read more

We're military and just closed on a house we purchased while stationed overseas. Stefan and his team walked us through several houses in a short window we took for leave in the area, and then closed the deal while we were away. He ensured we had every question and concern answered with regards to the home buying process, provided great suggestions that helped us find a low interest loan rate, and called the lender and the escrow company to ensure our paperwork got where it needed to be, when it needed to be there. I went to Stefan's company based on a referral from my aunt, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Thank you, Stefan, for making our first time purchase so easy for us! read more

My wife and I were interviewing realtors to sell our home. Stefan and his team responded to our call within hours and Stefan showed up the following morning. He was professional, yet very friendly, and showed up prepared with information about our home and the surrounding communities. Stefan and his team exceeded our expectations. We had multiple offers above asking price before the open house. This was our 3rd home sale, the first with West Realty. By far our best experience selling a home! They did an outstanding job showcasing our home, which sold quickly and above asking price. Can't say enough to recognize this team's talent and excellent service! read more

Stefan is the absolute best! He helped my husband and I purchase our very first home and everyday we are in disbelief that this incredible house is ours. Going into the home buying process we had no idea what to expect and felt really overwhelmed and intimidated. Cue Stefan. After we had our first phone call with him, we knew we selected the right man for the job. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable and experienced, he is kind, funny, honest, and put our minds at ease. He had our backs throughout the entire process and we definitely felt supported from start to finish. We are forever grateful for Stefan and would recommend him to everyone! read more

I hope you appreciate Stefan's sense of humor in his personal marketing campaign. He's an international marketing major and is able to reach more people with his creative and humorous adds! He is equally as effective at selling your home. Stefan was able to sell our home in less than a week using his marketing background. If you have any doubts, schedule an interview at your home and he will knock your socks off on how much information he already has about your Murrieta home!! His staff is equally as amazing! We worked specifically with Christina. You will do yourself a favor by listing with Stefan. Get ready for a ride! :) read more

My wife and I used Stefan to sell our home. I must state unequivocally that if you want to sell a home, then by all means use West Realty. Stefan was absolutely fantastic. You will not be disappointed. We were kept abreast of everything that was going on. Stefan is on top of his game. He is extremely knowledgeable in his profession. He is very consumer oriented. Stefan was very reassuring throughout the entire process. My wife and I feel as if we now have a new friend. We are moving back to New York and I made a promise to myself and that is I will make it my business to stay in contact with Stefan. Truly an amazing person. read more

Thank you for being THE MOST AWESOMENESS AGENT, Mr. Murrieta!!! In a crazy market in both Seattle and California, Stefan West's- aka "Mr.Murrieta" advertisement on a home site kept appearing to me after a slow, frustrating start to a huge out of state venture. Having an abrupt move upon us, a cold call to Stefan led us to working with an agent that willingly and enthusiastically took on our situation. His knowledge, communication, and professionalism were comfortably ON POINT every step of the way! Thank you again for being such a huge part of making our return home to California a success! read more

Our house that was listed with Mr. Murrieta, Stefan West, just closed this past Thursday. Stefan was one of three real estate people I interviewed before listing with him. I must say his attention to detail is incredible. He kept me posted on our property at all times as well as real estate happenings in Murrieta. He assisted with getting rid of the furniture that was not going with us as well as finding a housekeeper to clean the house thoroughly before putting it on the market. I cannot tell you how happy I am with Stefan and highly recommend him for any of your real estate needs. read more
