Kristina Hennessy2024-06-13 Our estate planner referred us to Steve Sakofsky to assist me in selling my property that I inherited.Steve is a wonderful realtor and a super nice and helpful person. He definitely went the extra mile when helping sell my property, especially since I was out of state. I recommend him highly and would give him 10 stars if google would allow it. You can't go wrong with Steve at Sun Trust Homes! Behzad Norouzi2024-05-18 Steven has helped my both buy a new home and sell my old home. During both the sale, and the purchase, he always kept me informed about everything and helped me make the best decisions possible. I am very happy with the outcomes and would be happy to have him help me again in the future Steve W2024-03-22 There are likely a lot of “good” realtors out there, but I would say Steven is one of the best at representing a buyer in the sales process. He was very proactive in addressing issues that came up throughout the purchase and helped resolved concerns raised during the inspection. I would highly recommend him for anyone buying or selling property in San Diego county. Hyun Kim2024-03-05 I have known Steve for about 20 yr, he is very knowledgeable, readily available with any questions and concerns, and reassuring. He has helped me sell my old home and find my new wonderful home, very helpful with renovation of new home, had many great ideas for home improvement. Would highly recommend him. Rick Raimondi2024-01-10 Steve was referred to me by my financial planner and he did an outstanding service for me… he helped me with a mortgage refinance and additionally had the foresight to get me a HELOC as well. I wish I had met Steve years earlier, he’s much more better than an online broker. Thanks Steve for all of your help!! pat loeser2023-11-17 This transaction with Steven was professional and expedient. I would not hesitate to recommend him to my friends and colleagues. Anne Radcliffe2023-11-14 Steven Sakofsky was referred by a financial planning colleague of mine in 2010 to negotiate the purchase of my forever beach home in Cardiff-by-the-Sea. Since then, he has assisted in multiple refinance transactions for me, the sale of my parents’ home and cash out loans for a close relative. Always responsive and very knowledgeable. Laura Civilikas2023-11-01 Steve is the best! He is quick, efficient, kind & helpful! We have been having Steve help us for 25yrs. He’s your go to guy that is trustworthy & smart! Dave Eberhardt2023-10-13 For my home mortgage refinancing, I was referred to Steven by my financial planner and this turned out to be a great tip. Steven was prompt, professional, and courteous. He was patient and thorough answering all of my questions. He kept the ball rolling and the process was completed in the time frame promised. There were absolutely no surprises at settlement. An excellent job! Kat Park2023-10-11 I was referred to Steven by my financial advisor and I have been thrilled with the service I received from him. I was looking for an honest and trustworthy broker to assist in refinancing my home. He is very responsive when you call and keeps close tabs on the market. Steven is very knowledgeable and worked hard to get the best interest rate possible. I was SO pleased with his outstanding results that I referred him to family members and friends. He has since secured good interest rates for at least 3 people I referred. I highly recommend Steven!!
