If you're a first-time home buyer, the entire real estate searching, researching and purchasing process can be daunting, but my partner and I were so fortunate to find Steven Torres and Torres Team Realty! From the initial call, to the virtual meeting, we could tell we were in good hands. Steven is a highly experienced and knowledgeable agent in the region, extremely competent and most importantly, exceptionally patient and kind; and truly cares about you and your partner's wants/needs. We could tell he was here for the process and he helped us through every single step of the way. Steven truly listened to us and he was able to narrow down what we needed and wanted in our first home - and that is no easy feat, especially working with first time home buyers in a seller's market. Steven connected us to this (first) property and made the complicated process of buying a home, so easy. As this was our first real estate transaction/purchasing experience, we were learning and in awe of the entire home buying process (yes, it is a lot of back and forth, paperwork and time), but because we had the right agent and team providing exceptional communication, everything was seamless, (honestly, we loved the transparency), concise, simplified and made so easy. Steven and his team will explain all of the details, clarify any confusion and answer every single one of your questions. Seriously, save yourself the trouble of sifting through people and have the peace of mind in knowing that an experienced quality agent and team will have your back. I strongly recommend Steven and the Torres Team. Definitely made fans out of us and we hope to continue to keep in touch with the Torres Team Realty! read more

Steven and Linda are a great team! They were both extremely helpful in the selling of our home and we'd use them again in the future.

Steve and Linda are a wonderful team, and we made an excellent choice engaging them for our condo search and purchase a few years ago. They are knowledgeable and experienced. We were hesitant to make rash decisions in a hot housing market, and Steve was very patient in meeting with us over the course of multiple weekends to view properties in the north county coastal area.

The whole experience with the sell of my mothers home was handled so efficiently. I would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell their home. Best to you Steven !! read more

This was my 7th personal home real estate transaction and without a doubt it was the best brokerage experience of them all. Steve has all the qualities necessary for a successful real estate outcome: he is a pleasure to deal with, he's an excellent negotiator and has years of knowledge of the North County market. We are from the other coast buying a 2nd home to escape the New England winters as well as spend time with our grand children and we worked with Steve virtually as well as in person. Steve and his team, along with his recommended service providers worked seamlessly to find, negotiate and close on an ideal property. He provided the spot-on guidance we needed to navigate the incredibly fast moving market here to find the right place at the right price. I wouldn't work with anyone else. read more

My husband and I found Steve randomly from realtor dot com. We could have gone with a bunch of others because of course everyone has a realtor they think is the best. Within seconds of meeting Steve I knew he was an honest guy, and that's so important! We ended up sticking with him for our home buying process, and we're so glad we did. Steve gave us his honest opinion and helped us through this VERY stressful process. If you're looking for someone who will help you stay within your budget, educate you in this process, and not let you get in over your head, this is the Realtor for you. read more

I have nothing, but only amazing things to say about Steven Torres and his team. For first time home buyers, the process can be a bit daunting, but with Steven it felt like a breeze. He made everything so easy! We found Steven to be a very patient listener, super understanding of our needs and always there to answer our questions promptly (phone calls, text messages and emails). Throughout the home buying process, we felt that he put our interest before his own - which probably is THE most desirable quality in a realtor. Steven was not looking to make a sale, his primary interest was to help us land our dream home. We never felt pushed or hurried through any tours or decisions. He is extremely approachable and flexible to work with. Simply put, he is AWESOME! I highly recommend Steven Torres for all your real estate needs. read more

Thank God Steve was able to guide us through the chaotic, scary world of home buying! He made the whole process go smoothly. With my family's crazy schedule, Steve still managed to find the time to be there for us. I felt bad for the guy because between my wife and me, we probably sent him a thousand emails and called hundreds of times with all of our concerns and inquiries. Nevertheless, Steve still kept his cool with us and responded promptly and professionally :) Bottom line: STEVE IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Steven goes above and beyond for you. We had a great experience with him, we always wanted to move out of Orange County and buy a place in San Diego, but being so new to the area it was hard to find good neighborhoods with good schools, price etc... Until we met Steven in one of our house searches. He quickly did a search of all the houses in the area with all of our must haves and price that we can afford!... His quick, honest and loyal person. I will definitely recommend him, he found us our home and fought very hard ! I love my neighborhood and neighbors are great!, love my home :) read more

He was very knowledgeable regarding the neighborhood on all the homes we looked at. He was always available to answer questions and help us through the process. We are so thankful we got to work with Steven, we definitely will connect with him in the future. read more

Steven was a pleasure to work with. He focused on what I desired in a home and sought diligently to fulfill my dreams. I am very picky, but through his efforts he finally found a place that fit my needs. Unfortunately, my search and purchase took place during the COVID pandemic which made the whole process more imposing than usual. Steven rose to challenge! He either answered my calls immediately or returned my calls in a timely manner. I look forward to working with Mr. Torres with any future purchases. read more

My fiancé and I bought our first home last fall with Steven's help. Steven has a very calm, confident and patient personality. He listens to what you want and doesn't try to push you into a purchase. I would recommend him to any of my friends and family. read more

My wife and I were lucky enough to buy our first home through Steven. He was knowledgeable and patient in explaining the steps of the purchase as we encountered them and made sure we were comfortable with everything that took place. His encouragement and reassurance was really appreciated, as the home-buying process is a scary one when you're doing it for the first time. Steven was easy to reach and addressed our concerns quickly, taking care of any issues we had in a timely manner. He was also honest and straightforward with us, giving us the information we needed to make the best decisions for our family, and his experience in the area was invaluable in evaluating the quality of the neighborhood, schools, and ease of access. From start to finish, buying a home with Steven was a positive experience, with each step mapped out and explained to us and all concerns taken care of. We were grateful to have Steven and would recommend him to anyone buying or selling a home in North County SD. read more

No surprises We first engaged Steve Torres (Team) 3 1/2 years ago when buying a condo in the North County area. Then, as was our experience just recently, we were pleased with the attention to detail and solid follow through on our purchase. All issues were addressed directly and quickly, making for a painless purchase process. We just recently purchased a second condo and again called on Steve to handle the process. Demand for the property was noticeably high, so getting just the right offer in, along with positioning ourselves as the best possible buyer for the property was key. Again, Steve and his team were there for solid direction. We won the bidding and flew through the on-line signature process very quickly, arriving at a closing day that was virtually anticlimactic. You can look to the Torres Team for thorough and professional representation in your real estate needs in the San Diego Area. read more

Steven handled two transactions for me. He sold my home for me so fast that I didn't even need to list it. He then helped me find and purchase the perfect new home for me and negotiated a very fair purchasing price. He is very knowledgeable and professional, in addition to being a very nice guy. He was always responsive to each and every contact by me and if he couldn't answer a phone call, he would text me and promise to return my call as soon as he was available.; and he always followed through. Steven exceeded my expectations and I could not be more pleased with his work on my behalf. read more

We just had the best experience searching for our new home. We were unfamiliar with the area and needed to see several homes over a period of months to feel confident this was where we wanted to settle. Steven was so patient and directed us to the best neighborhood. Perfect location and the home has everything we were looking for. There was never any pressure to make an offer. He wanted us to be certain it was the perfect home. I highly recommend Steven if you are searching for or listing a home. He is extremely professional and personable. We really enjoyed working with him. He will be our first choice for any future real estate needs. read more

They helped us land a beautiful home in Oceanside, CA that checked a ton of our boxes! Steven and Shawn bring so much knowledge and experience to the table and so incredibly easy to work with! Check them out if you are buying or selling a home! read more

As we are spending our first full day in our new home, it is with great pleasure and satisfaction that we can recommend Steven Torres. Looking back over our entire relationship with Steve, we could not have asked more of a Realtor. Beginning with our early stages of "looking" at homes in the San Diego area, Steve prepared a search report focused on our desires, which showed us existing and new-listing homes within our criteria as they came on the market. In this area, he did not inundate us with homes out of our price range or out of our desired area of San Diego County. He regularly sent us these reports with houses just within our desired criteria. As we got "more serious" about finding a home, Steven introduced us to a wonderful mortgage broker who helped us pre-qualify for the loan we needed for the price and location of home we desired. With Steven's home reports and other internet resources we found a number of homes we were interested in viewing. Every time we contacted Steven, he was more than willing to show us these homes as well as others he felt we might wish to consider. Even when he was on a family vacation, he arranged to have another Realtor show us a couple of homes we "really" wanted to see immediately. He also maintained email contact with us throughout his family vacation. Once we found "our new home", Steven negotiated on our behalf and provided us counseling to arrive at a mutually desirable purchase price for our new home. Once this was established, he continued to support us through the entire "closing" process. Small things liked always responding to emails quickly, never being too busy for our needs, and just taking the time to drive out to our new home so he could hand us the keys to our new home, are just some of the things that make Steven Torres a great Realtor. Steven is a true professional with all the qualities a great Realtor should have. We are very fortunate we found him. Dennis & Kumiko read more

If you end up buying a home that Steven has listed, make sure you get all the keys, garage clickers, etc. before you close. We have been in our house for just over a week and don't have the additional garage clicker as well as we're holding onto some of the seller's personal items we found after moving in. Our agent has tirelessly contacted Steven to rectify this situation we're currently in. Steven is VERY slow to get back to your messages, not to mention he went on a 2 week cruise (in the final 2 weeks of closing) without giving someone else on his team a heads up on what needs to happen before closing. Miraculously we closed on time. If I could put less than one star here from that experience alone, I would. I'm sorry to blast your yelp, but this is gone on too long... read more

Smooth and easy transaction. Steven was easily accessible by phone. And he'll stop by whenever needed. He's an honest and dependable guy. Will do business with him again. read more

Steven Torres was amazing during my house hunting process. From the time I first began looking for a home to the closing of the purchase Steven was there with insight, guidance, expertise, and empathy. We didn't make it easy for him but he was always ready to listen and adjust. In a very short time we made an offer on a beautiful home and Steven helped us navigate through the escrow process. After closing on the home Steven was there to assist with all the turn-over items. Over the years we have purchased and sold 9 homes, and Steven ranks as one of the best agents we've had. Thank you Steven! read more

If you value honesty, commitment, communication - Steven is the one for you! He is over the top helpful and attentive! Could not ask for a better A+ realtor!! read more

"Hello, Hello" - If you go with Steve you'll know what I mean :) Steve and Linda helped us through the purchasing process from start to finish. Their online MLS filter was useful to monitor the market and when it was time to place bids on homes. When it came down to placing bids and look over counter offers, Steve made sure we felt comfortable with our options and looked out for us. I would recommend anyone looking to purchase a home to consider Steve as your realtor. read more

I am extremely happy with the experience Steven made buying a home for myself and my wife. I had originally contacted Steven on a Friday morning to see his earliest availability and he catered to MY schedule every single time. He was available that same day and at the time I was free. Due to my wifes schedule we needed to meet on a weekend at one point and Steven was more than happy to accomodate us and walk us through the home. Steven is a very punctual individual and not once was I ever waiting on him. Customer service to me goes beyond a smile and a hand shake, Steven does an excellent job and goes above and beyond what most realtors would do and with my wife and I we always felt like he put us first. When all was said and done we closed with a 30 day escrow and absolutely zero issues. On a scale of 1-10 I would rate Steven a 10, which encompasses his knowledge, sincerity, and customer service. I would highly recommend using Steven when purchasing a home and will definitely be using him again if the occasion should ever arise. -Steven S. read more

We had been searching for homes on line for a few weeks and "liked" one and within 5 minutes received a call from Steven. He asked all the right questions to learn what we were looking for and what was important to us. By the next morning, we had several listings to peruse and within a week we had lined up a list of showings. By that weekend we were putting in an offer! It was obvious he listened because we had several home we really like, but one in particular we fell in love with and it's now our home. Steven and his team made the entire process seem painless. He throughly prepared us for every step and accommodated our every need. There he was with Linda at our home presenting us with our key with the most lovely house warming gift with something special for every member of the family including our dog, Sandy. I highly recommend Steven and his team if you are in the market for a new home, the relationship does not end at the sale, we consider Steve and Linda our very first neighbors and friends in Oceanside!d. Professional, knowledgeable, and down to earth nice guy, everything you want in a realtor and more! Thank you, Steven, Linda and team! read more

One of Steven's great assets is his patience and his resolve to find that elusive "perfect" house for his clients. We began using Steven since our initial plan was to reside in North County; but after a few months we switched gears and began looking in the city of San Diego (we ended up in La Mesa). To make matters more difficult, the vast majority of our house hunting was done from out of town using real estate web sites to find and qualify homes. Some weeks we had Steven running all over the place! And even though I'm sure we tested his patience at times, he never batted an eye. As ones who were new to the market, Steven was also a valuable resource on all sorts of real estate and neighborhood information. Steven comes highly recommended from us! read more

Steve is not just a superior realtor, but just an all around great person! He was very patient in helping us find the right home for our family. The entire way he helped guide us through the process and advised on the various locations in Oceanside. His concern was always doing what is right for our family, instead of just making a sale...that was very refreshing. He is extremely responsive and always punctual!! Thanks Steve and thanks for the housewarming gift! Class act!! read more

From the very beginning Seven and Linda Torres were awesome! We were first time home buyers from the San Francisco area and wanted to purchase a home in Oceanside. Steven took us out to see several homes and worked around our schedule to help us find our home. Both of them were responsive to our phone calls and questions. They assisted us in every way to help us find the lovely home that we live in now. We highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a home. We felt comfortable from the very beginning and appreciated all the patience and knowledge and friendly manner in which they worked with us. Thank you, Steven and Linda for your assistance in helping us move into our new home in beautiful Oceanside, California. Thumbs for you both of you!! Cliff and Adele Dovey from Santa Clara, Ca read more

Steven worked closely with us on all issues. He held open houses on Saturday afternoons which was the key to selling our condo. We received a reasonable offer at a good price. read more

I actually know Steve personally. Worked with his Sister-in-Law in past. So when I started looking for a place to own, I remembered he was in the Real Estate game. It took four months (which I hear is very fast) and a couple of offers, but we finally got a bid accepted and I closed last Friday. Even after the closing, Steve is available for questions and suggestions. Thanks Steve for answering my questions and putting up with First Time Buyer paranoia. read more

I started working with Steven after the realtor I was working with previously wasn't giving me the dedication I needed while searching for my first home. Steven was very proactive and did a great job of understanding what I wanted and finding places to show me. He has a great understanding of the market areas that he services and provided excellent information without ever pressuring me into any place. I would definitely reccomend Steven if you are purchasing a home. read more

Steven was a wonderful support and great teacher throughout the whole process of selling AND purchasing a home. He was with us the whole way through, explaining everything that we did not understand, and really kept us updated and in the loop the whole time. I could not recommend a better person to go through this process with and we are so grateful to have found him! read more

Steven & Linda are amazing! They have been so helpful before, during & after the purchase of our home. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell their home. read more

Steven has been a friend and a co-worker for over 10 years. His workmanship, effectiveness, honesty and integrity are second to none. He's always thinking in new ways to service his clients, to continue growing within the industry, educating himself so that he can serve his clients better, etc... Great family man too! very involved in his kids' schools. He's really a role model in every aspect of his life. read more
