Why Work With Steven Good?
Here's what our satisfied customers are saying about us:
Steven was an outstanding agent from start to finish, and we can’t recommend him enough.
Communication: He was consistently responsive and proactive. He didn’t just send listings. He visited homes himself and sent us detailed reports so we knew exactly what we were looking at before deciding whether to go see a place. Even after we had stopped actively searching on our own, he kept an eye out and reached out about homes he thought we’d like, and he was usually right.
Market knowledge: Steven knows the area and the market extremely well. He got us an early look at a home before it was listed, and he was able to track down critical information about a property we were pursuing that would have been very hard for us to get on our own. His advice on possible modifications and renovation potential helped us see the long-term value of each home, not just how it looked that day.
Professionalism: He took the time to understand our taste and priorities, and it showed in every recommendation. He also connected us with an architect for our future plans, which went well beyond what we expected from an agent.
Overall, Steven made a long and sometimes stressful home search feel like a shared journey. He was thoughtful, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in finding us the right home. If you’re buying in the Bay Area, he’s the agent you want on your side.

I am experienced in the marketing of real property for clients. I discussed the subject property with several potential realtors, received advice from a friend who is one of the most successful realtors in Northern California and interviewed four prospects. In contrast to the other three, Steven Good was immediately responsive to my request for an interview and provided some pertinent written materials on less than a day’s notice. Again in contrast to the others, he believed that the property could be sold as a residence rather than as a teardown. With remarkable speed, he analyzed and recommended the various improvements that should be made in order to expose the property to the market most advantageously. Using his many contacts,
he identified contractors and individuals to do the necessary work and obtained my approval. He monitored all the work being done and kept me advised of its progress. He established a budget for the work and did not exceed it. He created an attractive website to offer the property for sale. Several persons who had known the late owner and were familiar with her home expressed amazement at how attractive the work Mr. Good recommended had made the property. He was thorough in exposing the property to other brokers. He was knowledgeable about the prospect of a “bidding war” occurring. He recommended listing the price at a figure well above that recommended by the other three broker candidates. As soon as the bidding was open, we received an offer $150,000 above the asking price, and the property was ultimately sold for $250,000 more. Mr. Good continued, as he had from the beginning, monitoring the entire process. He worked out an issue affecting the allocation, of property taxes. The sale closed only 14 days after my acceptance of the offer, with no complications. As a lawyer specializing in estates, I will have the opportunity to engage or recommend real estate brokers for property in the Montclair area. My choice will be Steven Good.

We met Steven Good by chance at an open house he was hosting, and it truly felt fated. From the very beginning, Steven went above and beyond in every possible way. We were upfront that we were looking for more than what the market suggested was realistic for the amount we planned to spend, yet he never discouraged us, never applied pressure, and never showed an ounce of judgment. Instead, he invested an incredible amount of time, patience, and effort into understanding exactly what we wanted and helping us pursue it thoughtfully.
The process itself was understandably challenging at times, particularly because we used a VA home loan in the Bay Area—an already competitive market—which includes the added complexity of required Section 1 contingencies. While we were negotiating and addressing the Section 1 barriers to loan approval, Steven was exceptionally communicative, proactive, and steady. His deep knowledge of homes, construction quality, inspections, neighborhood dynamics, and the Bay Area market gave us confidence at every step. He also demonstrated a strong working understanding of the VA loan process and applied that knowledge effectively during negotiations to help move the transaction forward. Thank you, Steven, for being there for us when it mattered most.
Throughout the entire experience, Steven was personable, extremely knowledgeable, responsive, and invested in our success, and it was a pleasure getting to know him along the way. He is not only an outstanding real estate agent, but a truly great person. We now consider him a friend of our family, and if we were ever to buy another home, Steven would be the first person we would call. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for an agent who will truly go the extra mile.

If you are reading this review and debating who to trust with the sale of your home, let me save you some time: Work with Steven!
Selling a home in Piedmont requires a specific level of nuance, market insight, and strategy, and Steven has all of these in spades. From our very first meeting, it was clear that he wasn't just trying to get a listing; he was invested in a partnership.
What truly sets Steven apart is his definition of service. To say he went "above and beyond" is an understatement. He handled details that I hadn't even considered, managed the preparation of the home with concierge-level precision, and navigated the complexities of the Piedmont market with absolute confidence. He absorbed the stress of the process so that I didn't have to.
The result? A seamless sale and an outcome that exceeded my expectations. Steven is not just a realtor; he is a master negotiator and a genuinely kind human being. He negotiated a tricky title situation with a calm expedience that enabled a timely close.
It is without hesitation that I recommend Steven. You will be glad you worked with him.
