TLDR: Great news! You've found the realtor you've been hoping for. You can top feeling overwhelmed, stop searching, stop feeling lost: Set up some time with Steve and Ann-Marie, and experience what it's like to work with a team that is 100% committed to your goals, will treat you with total honesty, transparency, and respect, and will go above and beyond to earn your partnership. Long Version: Thank goodness my brother met Ann-Marie and Steve! At a community event where a local association of realtors were awarding kids (including my nephew ). We had to sell our parents' house and so he asked around the room: Who is the best realtor here? It was amazing Ann-Marie - who we'd later learn works hand-in-hand with her equally amazing husband Steve (Two seasoned pros for the price of one!) We scheduled time to meet up with them at the house and walk through our goals, questions, etc. - and we could tell from the get-go that not only were we working with true professionals, but with really solid humans. They came super prepared, explained the whole process, potential pricing strategies, timelines and more. And even with all that preparation, they left plenty of air to invite our input and really understand our goals and challenges. They also took time to get to know our family, our dynamics, and our emotional stakes in the transaction (selling a childhood family home is an emotional experience!). And that would really set the tone for the entire duration of our partnership: One of easy, honest, clear and empathetic communication. That is something that really stands out about Ann-Marie and Steve: They are both smart, sharp businesspeople, but at the same time, they demonstrate high EQ. Who doesn't want to work with ultra competent, kind, emotionally intelligent people? It's the best of all worlds. Now it wasn't easy to prep a house for sale! There are so many logistics - inspections, appraisals, landscaping, tons of repairs and touch-ups, and staging - really, it is an overwhelming process. But Ann-Marie and Steve made it as turnkey as possible. They helped us through every step of that somewhat grueling process - going so far as to physically pitch in. Who does that? People of excellence and who ethic who prioritize getting it done is who. People who really care about and want to invest in their clients is who. Steve and Ann-Marie is who! Even with all that work, the house came on the market only slightly behind our established timeline (we had a couple of not fun surprises when we fixed the place up). After a short run of showings and an open house, we had multiple offers - and lead by Steve and Ann-Marie's expertise, we negotiated to a price we were all happy with and were on our way. (This is stark contrast to other houses in the neighborhood that have been on the market for several weeks and even months. We attribute this to a great, unique house + a smart pricing strategy + Steve and Ann-Marie's superb local knowledge.) All in all, we are thrilled with our experience working with Ann-Marie and Steve. They earned our business a million times over and we now consider them friends, and THE family realtors from here on out. Also, this review would not be complete without a shout out to Ann-Marie and Steve's amazing office and support staff! There is sooooo much paperwork and backend work involved in a home sale, but Carla kept it all organized and moving. read more

Steve and Anne Marie are the quintessential agents you want in your corner when buying a house. When my wife-to-be and I began our search for a home back in June of 2021, we understood that we faced an inhospitable market for buyers, especially first-time buyers. Listings would be available for 7-10 days before falling under contract, homes were selling for 10-20% higher than list price, and the market segment for homes within our budget were exhibiting the highest competition. Steve and Anne Marie's complementary skill set ensured that we were able to efficiently navigate the market and close on a home. When beginning to assist our home search, Steve and Anne Marie were quick to hone in on our must-haves and nice-to-haves. Listings were curated and delivered to us in a seamless email and web-page interface, allowing for us to quickly review homes and down-select features we did not prefer. For the listings that piqued our interest, Steve and Anne Marie were quick to coordinate a showing with the listing agent and have us touring the house, even as soon as the next day. Such a turnaround was vital in a market with very short listing lifecycles. In addition, Anne Marie was especially adept at building relationships with the listing agents, often paying dividends when it came time for placing an offer. In fact, due to her efforts, we were able to obtain exclusive access to homes that were yet to be listed. Having such an advantage is pivotal in this market. Following our in-person review of a home, Steve's in-depth market analysis and experience permitted us to make confident decisions based on data, experience, and analysis, all while minimizing the risks that plagued other buyers in a hot seller's market. Steve provided unique advice and strategy that allowed us to generate competitive and uniquely structured offers that did not sacrifice contingencies. Given our risk-averse nature, Steve's approach fit perfectly with our objectives and comfort level. Following offer acceptance and transition into Escrow, Steve and Anne Marie ensured that our contingencies were satisfied in a timely manner and that any potential blockers were handled effectively. At one moment, we ran into a potential deal-breaking scenario with respect to our Loan that could have led to us losing the home we were fighting so hard to close on (not to mention this all occurred less than 48 hours before our wedding). Steve and Anne Marie were up in the late hours of the night working toward a solution, culminating in the mitigation of that threat on our behalf (our wedding weekend proceeded without any worry related to our escrow, as we knew we were in good hands). In summary, Steve and Anne Marie are a dynamic duo that places any buyer they represent in a competitive advantage. You are essentially receiving the unique skill set of two distinct and skillful agents. Each agent on their own would set up any buyer/seller for success, but as a unified team the sum of their skills make for an unstoppable force. We are truly fortunate for their representation of us in buying a home, and we thoroughly recommend other buyers to follow suit and leverage their capabilities. read more

Steve and Anne-Marie are a dream-team! As first-time home-buyers, my husband and I were apprehensive about finding a realtor who we could trust to help us navigate the logistics and decision-making with the biggest purchase of our lives. We highly recommend Steve and Anne-Marie - they are kind, patient, and compassionate people who are skilled at navigating the "business side" and tailoring their approach to meet their clients' needs. We first met Steve by happenstance when we attended an open house he hosted; we had a short conversation as we toured the house. A couple days later, Anne-Marie followed up via email and congratulated us on our recent marriage (which we had briefly told Steve at the open house). While a seemingly small gesture, it immediately demonstrated strong communication between Steve and Anne-Marie and their attention to detail for us. We had an initial meeting with them, and we knew we were in good hands! Steve and Anne-Marie were patient and understanding as we took care of financial logistics before being able to move forward with touring homes - they kept in touch and checked in, but were not pushy. When our loan broker unexpectedly fell through, Steve and Anne-Marie quickly recommended another broker, with whom we also had a great experience. At the first house we toured with Steve, he listened intently as my husband and I discussed the pros and cons of the home. Steve offered sage advice and gently challenged some of our unrealistic expectations, which we appreciated. The first house we put an offer on, Steve expertly helped us navigate the counter-offer process with contingencies, and our offer was accepted! Steve and Anne-Marie remained available throughout the entire escrow process as last-minute questions arose - their quick response-time to our evening and weekend texts was remarkable. They went above and beyond to coordinate with us as we juggled various work commitments and pre-planned travel that coincided with crucial escrow milestones. After we closed on the house, Steve and Anne-Marie continued to follow up to ensure we were happily settled in our new home. They even helped us brainstorm possible solutions when a tropical storm in Los Angeles caused unexpected flooding in our yard after we moved in. We are incredibly grateful and overjoyed that we had the opportunity to work with Steve and Anne-Marie to find our home! read more

Good luck finding a better real estate team in Los Angeles! We recently completed our very first purchase in Burbank, and the Roman Osgood Team not only pulled off the property equivalent of an infield Grand Slam, they made the potentially difficult process of finding and purchasing a home from 3000 miles away (in another country no less) about as smooth as it could be! And our decision to work with Steve and Anne Marie continues to pay off to this day, with their entire office and network going above and beyond the call of duty and helping us out, long after closing, with referrals to top-notch contractors and skilled handymen; essentially everything we've needed to transform our new purchase from a great house into a grand home. Even in a very challenging and competitive market, where the selling agent seemed hell-bent on convincing her clients to sell their house to anyone but us, the wise and experienced Roman Osgood Team strategy saved the day. In the end, we got the house of our dreams, without having to overbid by a fortune in the process. If you still believe that all real estate agents are the same, or you think you can save a few bucks by using a discount agent, allow Steve and Anne Marie to show you the way home. They are, unquestionably, absolute superstars of the California real estate business. You can trust them implicitly to get you top value for your purchasing dollar, or, top dollar for your property asset. We honestly can't imagine working with other agents, ever again. read more

Selling a home is never just a transaction, it's emotional, personal, and bittersweet, especially when you're saying goodbye to a place filled with memories. We truly could not have asked for a better team than Steve and Anne-Marie to guide us through the process. From day one, their partnership, energy, and incredible work ethic stood out. They are the definition of a dream team. They were strategic, professional, attentive, and genuinely caring. Thanks to their expertise and smart approach, our home sold in less than a week with multiple offers at a price we honestly never expected! What impressed us most was not just their knowledge of the market, but how much they cared about us as people. They understood how emotional this move was for our family as we prepare to move out of the country, and they made the entire experience feel smooth, supported, and even exciting during a very emotional time. Their attention to detail, communication, professionalism, and dedication were truly top-notch from start to finish. We always felt like we were in the best hands possible. Thank you, Steve and Anne-Marie, for making this journey such a positive and memorable experience. You are both truly exceptional at what you do, and anyone would be lucky to have you by their side when buying or selling a home! read more

Steve and Anne-Marie, first of all, are amazing humans. As first time home buyers in this unbelievably difficult market, they were able to deliver in helping my husband and I purchase our dream home. We knew nothing about buying a home and they were able to hold our hands through this whole process. They are super knowledgeable and with each viewing pointed out different aspects of the home that might require specific type of maintenance. Going into this process, we had a vague idea of what our dream home would look like... and through all the viewings, disappointments in being out-bid, and getting cold feet in making an offer, Steve and Anne-Marie were there to reassure and support us. Their input really helped so that we would not make a hasty decision. Ultimately, after months of searching, the home of our dreams found us, and it would not have been realized without this amazing team! They also connected us to an incredible mortgage broker who helped keep escrow on track and totally support us along the way. Oh, and our offer was accepted a couple days after our baby was born, so you can only imagine the possibility for chaos while we were in escrow. Fortunately, everything went smoothly and we have Steve and Anne-Marie to thank! read more

As a first time home buyer, it's not just that I didn't know things. It was worse because I didn't know what I didn't know, so I didn't even know what questions to ask! But Steve took me under his wing and guided me through the process step by step, making sure I understood everything at all times. I was convinced I was never going to find a place that was a good place that I could afford, in an area I was willing to live in, but even after months of searching and half a dozen failed bids, Steve never gave up on me and well... here I am, writing this review from my new house! Oh, and did I mention he also helped to get me connected with a mortgage broker who subsequently got me an awesome rate on my mortgage? He even hooked me up with some good contractors for repairs/renovations! Look... Steve is your man. Don't even consider anyone else. You simply aren't going to find a better agent. I mean... you DO want the best people working for you, right? Well... here he is. Stop reading this review and go call him. Communication: A+ Explanations: A+ Professionalism: A+ Support: A+ Post-sale: A+ read more

Steve and Anne-Marie have been lifesavers for my brother and me. Unfortunately, we had to sell our family property in Burbank, which had been in the family since the 30s. The property was unique. It was one property that could not be divided but had two entire homes. As Steve always said, it is one of Burbank's unicorns. Because it was a unicorn, we had no clue how to sell the property. Steve and Anne-Marie did their due diligence and found the best way to do it, and we ended up with the best price we could imagine. Selling this property also made me have to find my own home. Anne-Marie, Steve, and I looked and looked all over the valley. They would never give up. We finally found the perfect condo for me to become a homeowner and an adult, LOL. I will end this by saying they don't sell houses. They sell homes. If you're looking for estate agents to give you the personal touch, Steve and Anne-Marie are the ones. read more

My Wife and I had been looking to purchase our first home for well over a year. We had gone through three different Real-Estate Agents. Finally one of our good friends introduced us to Steve Roman. It was immediately clear to us that Steve not only loves what he does but he's also great at it. Steve guided us through each step of the way. He was there for us and made sure we understood everything about the process of being first time home owners. He stayed in constant contact with us ... Steve ended up finding the perfect home for us.The best part about it all was how HAPPY my wife was once we got the call from Steve the day that we were closing. We strongly recommend Steve Roman to anyone who is looking to buy a home and want a great experience during the process. My wife and I give Steve Two thumbs up and Five Stars. Thank you Steve! And we look forward to working with you on our next home purchase. read more

Steve and Ann-Marie are an incredible team -- they were professional, friendly, caring, and laser-focused on helping us find the right property in a difficult real estate market. Their tenacity and positive spirit kept us motivated throughout the process. I could not begin to list all of ways they went above and beyond the call of duty, but they include answering texts day and night (weekends too), offering what turned out to be crucial knowledge about mortgage brokers and others involved in shaping a winning offer, guiding us step by step through the escrow process, assessing properties for damage, termites, electrical issues, and so on, and offering us referrals to trusted contractors. We met agents at open houses who knew Steve and Anne-Marie, and it was clear from their comments that they regard them as the best in the business. We could not disagree! read more

Where to begin...well, first off, we are so happy that we BEGAN with Anne-Marie and Steve! From start to finish, they were with us and our family. After deciding to relocate to the Southeast, during a global pandemic, Anne-Marie took the bull by the horns and made the sale of our home and our transition from West coast to East coast a smooth one. We have never worked with a team so willing to get "dirty" and to help out. (They might not want me to advertise that!...They HELPED US CLEAN AND PREP OUR HOUSE for the sale!) Through the showing and offer process they were extremely professional and had our interests in mind at all times. We couldn't imagine a better team to work with in the world, let alone in the Los Angeles/Burbank area. A big thank you to Anne-Marie and Steve, our new friends and favorite realtors! read more

Steve and Anne-Marie helped my wife and me sell a triplex in Atwater Village. With complicated tenant relationships and an unoccupied unit in need of significant rehab, this property was far beyond a typical single-family home sale. They guided us through every step of the process and alleviated much of the stress we had felt leading up to the decision to sell. Steve developed a pricing strategy we fully believed in, and by the end of the sale, we exceeded our target price. We will absolutely be returning to Steve and Anne-Marie for future real estate transactions, and I look forward to recommending them to friends and family. They are honest, patient, and always available, with a team that delivers exceptional service to their clients. I highly recommend them! read more

When my fiancee' and I decided to take the plunge and buy a new home, we asked among our friends who had recently made a home purchase. One of them referred us to Steve Roman, which turned out to be an excellent choice. From our first phone call, when Steve called us up and walked us through the entire phone call, I was impressed by Steve's depth of knowledge and the ease with which he explained the process to us. Steve was on the ball from the start of the process all the way through closing. He helped us make the most of the resources we had available, and alerted us to opportunities we would not have noticed. Through it all, he was polite, courteous, and dedicated. I would definitely recommend Steve to anyone looking to purchase a home. read more

We absolutely adored working with Steve and Anne-Marie! As a team, they brought such warmth and genuine care to the entire process. They were incredibly helpful, organized, and always one step ahead. They were always in constant communication with us while we looked for homes and were waiting to hear back on offers. Thanks to their hard work and connections, we ended up buying an off-market home -- something we never could have done without them. The whole experience was unbelievably smooth from start to finish. We can't say enough good things, and absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a realtor. read more

Steve and Anne-Marie are the best! If you're looking to buy a home in Burbank, no one knows the market and the neighborhoods like they do. More importantly, they take the time to listen to your needs and work with you to find the best house for you and your family. We've also gotten so many great recommendations from them post-purchase, for all the little things that come up once you buy a home. They made a potentially difficult and stressful process go so smoothly, it really was a pleasure to work with them. So grateful to them for helping us find our new home! read more

I'm a mortgage broker and have partnered with Steve Roman on numerous transactions to help buyers purchase a new home. Working with many realtors over the past 20 years myself, I can vouch for this realtor - his professionalism, his attention to detail, his approach and dedication are top notch. He loves people! And he loves what he does and it shows. If you're looking to buy a new home or sell your current home and wanting to have a realtor who truly is on your team (who doesn't, right?) contact Steve and set up that appointment. You'll be happy you did. read more

My parents were looking to sell one of their properties in Los Angeles, CA and I thought of Steve Roman right away. The experience was amazing! He was so easy to work with and everything went smoothly....and fast! Loved that he was always on top of everything and was always available for any questions we had. He took his time to explain things and was very accommodating. He loves what he does and does what he loves and it definitely shows. I would definitely recommend Steve Roman Estates for anyone's real estate needs! I'd give 10 stars if I could! read more

Steve and Ann Marie are consummate professionals. With this team by your side, you can be assured that they will give you the expertise, full attention, and support you need to guide you through the stressful process of home buying. It's easy to dismiss the importance of choosing the right agent, but it really does make a difference, especially if you're a first time, or even not so new home buyer. Steve helped me purchase my last home, and I knew he was the guy to help me sell and purchase a new home. Highly recommend! read more
