I had the please of working with Steve when he sold my home and helped me purchase my new home. He is extremely professional and knowledgeable and has a team of other professionals he works with that made things go smoothly.
We were in escrow on both properties at the same time and ran into a number of hurdles during the stressful process. Steve was able to navigate through the issues with seeming ease as if he had dealt with the problems we were facing uncountable times before. My family was able to sell a house we outgrew and get into a house that is perfect for us thanks to his dedicated efforts.
I would highly recommend Steve to others and will definitely use his services again if I ever buy or sell another property.

I had been toying with the idea of moving to Oceanside, but thought it would happen at a later date. A one-story home popped up for sale on a Sunday night/Monday morning, shortly after shelter in place orders had been issued due to Covid-19. After getting Steve's name as a reference, I called him and we set up a walk-through on Tuesday (this was also just prior to only virtual tours being allowed). We all looked over the house and, at Steve's recommendation, offered a price lower than what I had in mind. The offer was accepted! Between Steve, Zesty, Deana, and Jen, the process just flowed from start to finish. Our final walk-through had to be done virtually. Zesty set everything up and the seller walked us through everything he thought we might be interested in seeing, both inside and out. This was really the next best thing to being there. I know some people want to buy or sell without the help of a realtor, but with all the paperwork and other issues involved, I honestly don't know why. One little slip in paperwork and the deal could be lost. I have bought homes in the past and this, by far, was the most pleasant and enjoyable experiences I've had. Steve and his team are the best!

Steve and his team, Zesty and Deana, did an outstanding job. I put an offer on the third property Steve took me to see. I respected his knowledge and recommendations during the negotiation. The team was all very supportive through the entire home buying experience. They were always available and answered all of my questions. They took the stress out of buying a new home. I highly recommend them all!

When we moved to Oceanside in 2016, we had no idea we would be buying a home. After a horrible experience with another realtor, we were lucky to be referred to Steven and his team. He and Zesty made the whole process smooth and provided above and beyond assistance to us as first time buyers. So it comes as no surprise that when we got short notice orders to leave the country, we called Steven and his team again. He completely blew us away with his tenacity and expertise selling our home. Not only did he get it done in less than a month, he made sure we got every penny out of the house. His team handled a few buyer issues and kept us always informed and calm during the sell. Overall, if anyone has any question of who the best realtor in southern California is, look no further than Steven and Zesty, call them today!!

Bought a Single Family home in 2020 in Oceanside, CA.
Local knowledge
Process expertise
Responsiveness
Negotiation skills
I was introduced to Steve by my financial advisor, who are both part of the ProVisors network. Steve was a pleasure to work with. His knowledge and experience were extremely beneficial to me as a first time home buyer, unfamiliar with many aspects of the purchasing process.
We were in escrow twice, the second resulted in owning the home I'm writing this review from. During the first, foundation issues were found during the discovery phase. He and his associate, Zesty, were instrumental in aiding my decision making, which was ultimately lead to walking away. It's said that "where interest lies, honor dies," but that is clearly not the case with Steve and Zesty.
Steve was very responsive each time I wanted to look at a home, which is a critical quality given the state of the market during the pandemic. He's also constantly trying to work out an edge that gives his client an advantage over other buyers. The home I purchased was being tented when we looked at it, only a day or so after hitting the market. Before chemicals were deployed, Steve convinced the fumigators to let us in to look inside. This meant we were one of only a few groups not bidding on the home sight-unseen. I think this is the reason we were not outbid.
With that said, I highly recommend this team. Thanks again guys.

Steve Wener treated us like family from the first phone call. His knowledge and kindness made our home buying experience as comfortable and flawless as possible. We knew exactly what to expect from him...no surprises. Steve is a man of honor and commitment to his craft. I emphatically recommend Steve Wener for your next home buying experience!!
