We had an exceptional experience working with Stephen and couldn't have found our dream home without him. From the very beginning, he was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and reassuring throughout what can often be a stressful process. He's extremely dialed in to the market, offering thoughtful guidance and insight at every step, which made us feel confident in our decisions. His network and industry relationships are very strong. Beyond his expertise, he was always responsive, patient, and genuinely invested in helping us find the right home. We felt supported the entire time, and his calm, steady approach made all the difference. We're so grateful for his help and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. read more

Working with Stephen to sell my home was an exceptional experience from start to finish. From our very first meeting, it was clear that he operates at an entirely different level than most agents. His knowledge of the San Francisco market, strategic mindset, attention to detail, and professionalism gave me complete confidence throughout the entire process. What stood out most was Stephen's ability to manage every aspect of the preparation and sale with precision. He coordinated significant pre-market work, guided me through important decisions with clarity and honesty, and developed a thoughtful marketing strategy that positioned my home extremely well in the market. His recommendations consistently proved to be spot on. Throughout the transaction, Stephen was proactive, communicative, and incredibly steady under pressure. Even during more complex moments, he navigated challenges seamlessly and always kept my best interests front and center. His relationships with other top agents across San Francisco clearly made a difference in generating strong buyer interest and ultimately getting the deal across the finish line smoothly. Beyond the results, Stephen delivers a level of service and care that is rare in this industry. He is hands-on, highly responsive, strategic, and genuinely invested in achieving the best possible outcome for his clients. read more

We met Stephen at one of his open houses, when we were still casually looking for more space. He took the time to get to know what we were looking for, subsequently sharing new properties that checked many of those boxes. For months, we thought we were set in one direction (warehouse / industrial / loft), but Stephen's light encouragement to give one very different property (a multi-level townhome with great light and high ceilings) a look turned into a quick offer and our soon-to-be next home. We're excited for this next chapter, and we likely would've never come across this property if not for Stephen. He's been great to work with -- highly knowledgeable and communicative, and very meticulous to assure the best outcome for us. Would highly recommend! read more

Stephen is an amazing realtor and we highly recommend him. He is extremely patient knowing that we were waiting for "just the right home." We were in a month-to-month rental in a location that we loved and were extremely specific about what we wanted to purchase. He was never pushy, never impatient. We worked with him until he found us the perfect house with everyone on our "must have" and even "wanted to have" lists. When he saw the home, we called us immediately and we moved. His strategy for list price, timeline, and negotiating was perfect. Due to his expertise, knowing the San Francisco market, and being realistic with us and the seller, we only ever put in one offer and that offer was accepted. Stephen is an amazing agent and you would be lucky to have him on your team. read more

Big thank you to Stephen who helped us through our recent purchase. As our agent, we felt like he really went to bat for us and was a great negotiator and advocate during the process. read more

I've purchased two high-end homes and sold one with Stephen. He's the best - he worked with me to find and purchase unique properties and sell them too with an eye for design, development opportunities and market comps. He understood my unique needs - yay divorce! - and navigated that tricky social situation smoothly, whereas other agents did not want to get involved in the drama. He handled everything from staging, offer negotiations in a bidding war (which I ended up winning) and was overall a solid partner and friend pre, post and during the purchase and sale process. I highly encourage working with him and Spencer, you can thank me later. read more

We met Stephen at the very start of our search for a home in the Sunset District. One afternoon, as our intrepid little daughter was walking home from school, she happened to spot Stephen setting up for an open house right across from where we lived and came running to tell me. The rest is history! Stephen was everything we needed in an agent, guiding us through the highs and lows of buying in this competitive market. He kept us grounded, ensuring we didn't get in over our heads or settle for something we might later regret. In what felt like record time, just under six weeks, we found the perfect home. Now, we're happily settled in the same neighborhood our family has grown to love, and we couldn't be more grateful! read more

So glad I chose Stephen to sell my home. He was positive and prepared from day one. He kept me informed about every step of the process and even gave me a calendar to keep me on schedule with my tasks. I followed his plan and the home sold in record time. The value was excellent for the quality of service provided. He has a genuine way of connecting with others that engenders trust. Selling a home is a big decision so you need to be able to trust your agent. Stephen was the right choice for me. read more

We couldn't have been happier choosing Stephen to help us with our first home purchase. He was patient with all our questions, very knowledgeable about every property, extremely responsive, and not shy about pointing out bad deals when he saw them. We never felt pressured to put an offer in on a house we weren't sure about, and Stephen made sure to fight for us on properties that we really liked. We won't hesitate to come back to Stephen for our next home purchase and will be recommending him to everyone we know looking to buy a home in the area. read more

As first-time home buyers, we couldn't have asked for a better realtor! From start to finish, Stephen was trustworthy, incredibly knowledgeable about the market, and always responsive & attentive to every question or concern we had. He truly helped us close the deal on a home we absolutely love, and we couldn't be happier. His guidance made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and exciting. We are so grateful for his amazing service and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home! read more

Kevin Cruz is the man if you want fast and excellent results when selling your home. He and his team did an awesome job in getting our home ready for the market. the house was meticulously prepared and staged for maximum sale impact. The result was far more than I expected. We have an offer that is well above our list price after the first day of open house. thank you Kevin. read more

Right from the start of our San Francisco house-hunting adventure, Stephen was so much more than just a buyer's agent. He was like our expert guide, cheerleader, and the real estate guru we didn't even know we needed! He answered every question we threw at him, patiently and expertly. Navigating the SF market was nothing short of daunting, but with Stephen's insights, our confidence took off.

As a first time home buyer, I couldn't have felt in more secure hands than with Stephen. He's knows the SF market through and through, is well connected, calming, and frank in his assessments. I especially appreciate a couple of times where he advised against specific properties for issues related to quality and re-sellability. He really took the time to make sure that I land in the place I'll be happy with. And I did! I'm so happy with where I ended up and I look forward to working with Stephen again should I ever want to sell or upgrade. read more

My husband and I just closed on our first home this week after YEARS of casually looking, and more seriously looking in the last ~8 months. We're lucky to have met Stephen last year and work with him + Domicile on our home search. We've met SO many realtors (maybe 50!) throughout the years and felt like we connected with Stephen the most. He was super personable, had deep knowledge about the real estate market / trends in SF, and put in a lot more work than other agents to help us make informed decisions - like bringing in a contractor to see a home with us to estimate remodeling costs when we were considering a fixer upper. We ended up not going with that home but were impressed with the time / effort Stephen put in to help us understand what we'd be signing up for. When we finally found the home we loved, Stephen + his team at Domicile were on top of it to make sure we had everything we needed and felt taken care of. We had several minor concerns with the house and he was able to work with the sellers to address almost all of them before we closed. I don't know how common that is but it was a great experience for us as buyers. Throughout our months long journey to buy our first home, Stephen never made us feel pressured, was super communicative / responsive, and always had great insights that we valued. We loved working with him and can't recommend him enough! read more

Stephen was the most knowledgeable, dependable realtor we could have asked for. He understands the SF market so well and really makes you feel confident finding your new home. We would recommend him again and again to anyone looking! read more

Stephen is the best. He's honest, straightforward, works hard for you, and has an impressive ability to key in on what you want. He helped me and another family member find our dream houses in San Francisco, I can't recommend him enough. read more

I reached out to Stephen as part of a renewed house search because the first time I looked it was more aimless, and this time we (myself and my fiancé) were serious about landing a place. Stephen was responsive and incredibly helpful from day one: he talked us through the process, had a deep expertise and understanding of San Francisco, and made us feel comfortable as we began our search. Then we found a place we wanted in a matter of days, partially due to Stephen being able to help us move quickly on several open houses. With a short window to make an offer, Stephen helped coach us through getting the right paperwork, putting down a competitive offer, and reviewing the disclosure package with enough confidence that we felt confident in moving forward. His communication was clear, quick and incredibly helpful. From there, Stephen and Domicile continued helping us through the mortgage process, shepherding us through each stage until closing. He provided us with helpful vendors, timelines, and all the information we needed to close and to move in. I would highly recommend Stephen to anyone else looking to buy in San Francisco. read more

My colleague at work recommended Stephen as he had helped them buy not 1 but 2 dream homes! My husband and I did not know anything about house buying but Stephen was great and patiently helped us through the process step-by-step. We thought it would take us at least a year to find our dream home but were able to find one in just two months because Stephen was very proactive about reviewing all the new listings and sharing his thoughts and went to view houses with us all the time. Stephen is super well connected and helped us with construction estimates, list of contractors, designers, etc. very promptly. We highly recommend working with Stephen if you are looking to buy not just any house, but your dream house! read more

Our experience with Stephen over the years has been outstanding. We bought our first home in San Francisco with Stephen several years ago. Stephen recently sold that house (with a price increase of 20%) and helped us buy another home in San Francisco at a fantastic price. Stephen is very professional and has great taste - he curates a wonderful list of homes to view and always really listens to what we want. He's very knowledgeable and we never felt like he was pressuring us to make a sale. He also has a great network of contacts to help with everything from the loan to painting and renovations. We'll continue to work with Stephen in the future for any real estate needs! read more

I usually don't write reviews, but I absolutely had to for Stephen. My wife and I worked with him to find us a home in San Francisco. Stephen is knowledgeable, experienced and truly professional. The thing I liked the most about him was that he wouldn't just send us any and all listings that would hit the market like an automated system, as most others would. Rather, he took the effort to better understand our likes and dislikes and would send listings we would truly like and that kept getting better as we got to know each other. He also connected me with a very experienced and senior lender who is helping us with our loan. Small things like this help go a long way and make the whole process seamless. I HIGHLY recommend him read more

My husband and I worked with Stephen for our first home purchase in San Francisco. He helped us navigate the landscape, provided reputable references when needed and made the process seamless. He was knowledgeable, attentive and overall on top of everything, which was greatly appreciated since the process is pretty daunting as a first time home buyer. No question was left unanswered. What we also found extremely helpful was once we found our new home and was in contract, he helped us get a head start on some remodel work we wanted to do by coordinating meetings with designers and contractors so that work could get started right away. He understood our timeline and sense of urgency. A great experience and highly recommended! read more

My partner and I had the absolute pleasure of working with Stephen Bartlett to buy our first property in SF. We met when we were just research mode, with the expectation that it would take months, if not years, to find something within our modest budget. Stephen listened closely to our needs and concerns and made sure that he found us not a property but a home. Not only did he never pressure us in to making offers, but he encouraged us to walk away from properties that would be poor investments of our time or wouldn't provide strong returns when we sell. Stephen never failed to continue communicating. Because he kept us on top of everything, we were able to beat other buyers but we were able to close quickly! Anybody would be fortunate to work with him and his team, I cannot recommend him enough. TY!! read more

Patty is everything you would want in a Real Estate Broker Associate: knowledgeable about the area, professional, honest, positive, and passionate. She's a tireless and tenacious advocate, and enjoys searching with you for that home with, 'a modicum of charm'. In addition, she has developed an extensive network of agents, brokers, and contractors. Highly recommended! P.S. See 3 other GLOWING reviews below that somehow aren't counted in yelp's review... read more

Although I've owned two homes before, this is the first time I've had to shop for a home, and doing so in the Bay Area can be an intimidating experience. That's why for me it was important to find a realtor who new the area, was on top of market conditions and could guide me on making the right decisions, including the selection of financing before the sales and contractors afterwards. Patty Rogers was the perfect agent for the job. After meeting her at an open house, I gave Patty some examples of homes that interested us and she put together a comprehensive list of places to view. Patty pointed out the emerging neighborhoods, where values were most likely to increase but may involve extra transportation to work. She also identified listings that were likely to sell for way over the asking price. Insights like these allowed us to narrow down our choices to the relevant properties. When it came time to put in the offer for our place, she did thorough analysis of the area and arrived at a suggested offering price. After some careful analysis myself, we made our submission, and while our offer was tied with another party, ours was accepted. Thanks to the selection of a respected banker whom Patty had referred me to, all of my "financial ducks" were lined up and we were able to close on the property in 21 days. If you are looking for an East Bay property, I cannot recommend Patty enough. read more

My partner and I met Patty during one of our first open house weekends. We visited a hundred or more homes over the course of our six-month search and I was surprised by how passive the vast majority of agents were. I'd guess fewer than ten percent bothered to ask "Do you have an agent working for you?" Patty was firmly in the 10% group. She followed up immediately and stuck with us through our a stop/start process. Stephen and Patty helped us secure a winning bid with a 21 day close, and yesterday we sealed the deal, right on schedule. If you want to work with action-oriented folks who follow up and follow through, you'll be happy with this dynamic duo. read more

Stephen delivers stellar service backed by years of experience and expertise. We recently purchased our second home in San Francisco and had an excellent experience from start to finish. We were guided thoughtfully and strategically every step of the way. Stephen was dedicated and determined to find us what we wanted and worked tirelessly to make the entire process flow smoothly. He impressed us time and time again with his thorough knowledge of the SF market. Stephen remained patient with us throughout the entire process, answering all of our questions. We will always recommend Stephen to our friends and family and anyone looking for expert representation! read more

Patty and Stephen helped my partner and I purchase our first home in the East Bay this summer and we could not be more thrilled with our experience working with them. Patty and Stephen were both incredibly thorough and brought different aspects to the table. They both picked up on our taste preferences very early in the process and shared listings that were in-line with what we were interested in. Since we were new to the process, they were very patient with explaining different things each step of the way. We really appreciate how neither of them disappeared after we closed on the house and were able to connect us with excellent contractors for different projects. We can't recommend these two enough. They were an absolute pleasure to be around and have impeccable taste : ) read more

Patty and Stephen are the best of the best, the pinnacle of the real estate profession. I've bought and sold two houses with Patty; one in San Francisco and one in Oakland. She takes the time to understand what you want and need, and works hard to find you that house. Both Patty and Stephen will be in constant communication with you and will not waste your time sending you to open houses that are of no interest. But what really separates Patty and Stephen from other agents is in their ability to close the deal once you find the home for you. Patty and Stephen are intimately familiar with the markets in which they operate, and they seem to know everyone. They work ruthlessly behind the scenes with the sellers agent, banks, etc., to make sure you are in the best position to close the deal, even in situations when you are competing with multiple offers. They know how to write an attractive offer, and as a result I was able to get the first house I made an offer on, even though I was pitted against several higher offers. When it comes time to sell, Patty and Stephen will help ensure that your house gets top dollar. If the house needs some work, they will bring in efficient contractors who get the job done quickly for a low price. Their staging will transform your home and their marketing is fantastic. In both cases, my homes sold for well over what I expected. read more

I worked with Stephen on purchasing my first home and can not recommend him highly enough. He is thorough and knowledgable, no question being too small to answer. He truly understands what his customer wants and is able to provide honest and fair recommendations, without being pushy. My experience working with him end-to-end was pleasant, fun, and enjoyable. Even after the transaction went through, he made sure to follow-up on my moving process and help address any issues or questions. Definitely will work with him in the future! read more

We were lucky enough to have Stephen help us through a recent home purchase and couldnt have asked for a better experience. He was friendly, knowledgeable and we always felt like he had our best interests at heart. At closing he also surprised us with several very thoughtful housewarming gifts and followed up to make sure everything was going smoothly with the move. Couldnt recommend Stephen more highly and hope to work with him again! read more

Stephen helped my husband and I find a home in San Francisco and was absolutely amazing - we would highly recommend him! We met Stephen through another property showing and he helped us navigate the search for a home for ~12 months. He was patient, knowledgeable and detailed - Stephen really treated our home search as if it were his own. In the end, we ended up with a home that we're thrilled about for a price that Stephen helped expertly negotiate. read more

I've always worked with Domicile Properties for my real estate needs. They are extremely knowledgeable and always have my best interests. Stephen was no different. He took all the stress away of selling a my condo in SF, especially during a pandemic. Him and his team even correctly predicted when my condo would sell. I can't recommend them enough. read more

Stephen and Patty from The Domicile Team @Compass came highly recommended from a colleague. My partner and I contacted them to set up a meeting and from the very first interaction we knew we wanted them to represent us. Stephen and Patty were dedicated to making the search process easy and efficient and were quick to identify properties they knew we would like, they even included off market properties that other buyers didn't have access to in our search. In a tough market like San Francisco you NEED Stephen and Patty as your agents. Why makes them the best? They are extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and fun to work with. Stephen and Patty were dedicated to our search and saved us a ton of time by providing feedback on properties before we went to the open houses. They knew what we wanted and they were not afraid to tell if a property had a "fatal flaw" or an issue that would affect value and resale price. When it came time to make an offer, Stephen and Patty provided a detailed strategy that ultimately got our offer accepted. They taught us that the offer price is not the only important factor. Stephen and Patty are well connected and respected in the market and have reputation of closing deals. The listing agent on our property was thrilled to know that we Stephen and Patty were our agents. We've recommended Stephen and Patty to many of our friends and colleagues who've also had great experiences working with them. We can not thank you enough for helping us! read more

Helped us find a place that we really like! One of the best things Stephen can do is quickly eyeball the condition of various aspects of the property and what sort of costs you might expect in the future. He has a good grip on the industry, and did not push us towards properties that we didn't like. read more

Stephen & Patty just helped me purchased my 1st ever home in SF. If you live here, you know how competitive the market is. But with their help, the whole process took way less than I expected and it was quite smooth. They are very experienced, and they are patient and responsive to any questions at any time! I'd have no doubt to go to them if I buy or sell in the future! read more

Stephen and Patty are phenomenal. As first home buyers their knowledge and expertise of the market was helpful in giving us the lay of the land. They were there with us every step of the way. We love our home and are grateful every day for Patty's eye for the "modicum of charm"! read more

We had the pleasure of working with Patty to buy a home in Oakland. We met at an open house, where we ended up talking for a while about our home search, and she followed up. Patty took a lot of time to find out what we liked and didn't like about homes. From the beginning we told her we weren't looking to buy right away, and she had no problem sending us listings, going over open houses, and calling to see if we needed more guidance on neighborhoods. Coming from San Francisco, we weren't sure what neighborhood was right for us. Since she was previously a realtor in San Francisco, she is really good about comparing areas of San Francisco to the East bay. She guided us to areas she knew we'd like. When our search got more serious, Patty spent time every week to find exactly the types of homes we were looking for. We went to open houses together, she sent us comps, and she was honest about what we could afford and why. We found our dream home through Patty, and she worked tirelessly with the selling agent to get our offer accepted! The closing process was unconventional, as we were out of the country on a previously planned vacation. She worked through docusign, email, message, and all the means necessary to make sure the paperwork was right. All of the things listed above helped us find our dream home, but what I really loved about Patty is her point of view on real estate. She talks about the "modicum of charm" and knows which houses will withstand a down market. Patty is the best, I'd recommend her to anyone looking for a home in the East bay! read more

Patty is such a fabulous realtor! Moreover, she is a wonderful person! Patty has been in the real estate business for a long time and it shows; that is, she knows what she is talking about and is the best person to have by your side when searching for a home. She has so much knowledge and insight. It is apparent that she truly loves what she does and wants to find the right home for her clients. She does not hesitate to "tell it like it is" and, when she does; it is in the best interest of her client. She was sincerely a pleasure to work with, and my husband and I cannot say enough great things about her. She found us our dream home and at the right price. She is such a hard worker and clearly passionate about what she does. I would recommend her to any and all of my friends. Thanks, Patty! read more
