When I recently sold the 1400-square-foot house I had lived in for 42 years to move
to a 700-square-foot apartment in a retirement community, I scarcely knew where to
begin. Luckily, I found Steve, who understood my situation and helped me through
the whole process. He was with me from getting the place ready for the open house
to even the mop-up before I left it for the new owners. The house sold in a week for
over the asking price. Steve was honest, professional, and responsive. I would
highly recommend him to anyone, whether buying or selling.

We trusted Steve so completely , we bought a $1,110,000. luxury pool home from our condo in Florida, sight unseen.
I just completed a very challenging move from Florida to my new home in Rancho Cucamonga . Steve was very helpful in locating and negotiating my new home. ...and making sure I was in the loop every step of the way , even from the other side of the country. He was willing to pass up many homes that did not appear to be so turn key. ...and made sure we knew what his thoughts were , even though they did not favor getting him a sale. Finally, we got a winner and were able to get best price in a very seller market with his skill and expertise.
We trusted Steve so completely , we bought home from our condo in Florida, sight unseen. I think that says it all....except that it doesn't end there .
Steve staid with us the entire closing process , inspection, and even well after we mover in.
Helping us with all the small things that you have to deal with when moving cross country to a new home.
In this kind of sellers market , just finding a good home, in a good location , is not an easy thing.
Steve made this easy. It was not. Especially doing everything from the other side of county . The first time we ever saw our new home was when we moved into it ...over a month after signing the contract. It did not disappoint. There were no bad surprises . Only good ones.

Steve Ristaino made selling our house of 40 years easier than we ever thought it could be. He walked us through each step of the process, told us what to expect, and went out of his way to make us feel comfortable. We could not have asked for a better realtor or for a better outcome. Steve Ristaino made us feel like family by being there when the house was being shown, being there for the inspections, and keeping us up to date with information on the process. We loved having Steve Ristaino as our agent. He not only quickly sold our house, but cared about what we wanted in the sale, and made our needs a priority. What we thought was going to be a time consuming and emotional process was made quite easy by Steve Ristaino. We are now able to spend our time closer to our family.

So grateful for Steve!
Amidst the chaos of a frenzied market, Steve was a calming anchor for us. Extremely knowledgeable and experienced, he kept us posted on what we could expect at every step along the way, and answered every question (we had a lot!) with his wonderful sense of humor intact. He went so far above and beyond, from installing the extra smoke detectors we needed himself, to meeting the plumber at our house when the outdoor tap blew a gasket on the first day of showing! Always quick to respond by phone and text, Steve always made us feel we were his top priority. In the end, by following Steve’s excellent advice, we had dozens of offers to choose from, and sold our home of 30+ years for well above our asking price. My husband and I could not be happier that Steve was recommended to us, and we are pleased to now recommend him to anyone in need of a solid, responsive, and responsible agent.

Steve took care of all the details, he communicated with me almost on a daily basis, and made the selling of my home look easy. This was bar far the best real estate transaction I have ever had, from the prepping of my home, suggestions for staging of my home, to even taking care of inspection and work that needed to be completed. All I had to do was sign the paperwork, all of which was thoroughly explained to me. All the details were covered. I was also very pleased with the price he negotiated. He is a hard working man who obviously loves is job!
Steve is very personable and has a great séance of humor which helped make the transaction go quickly. I talked to him at least on a weekly basis, usually 3 or 4 x.
Again, this was my best real estate traction! Every detail was covered. He made it all so easy for me.

Being an absentee owner, we had many people who promised one thing but did another -- our family was burned and skeptical. Time after time Steve Ristaino demonstrated his word was his bond. Steve provided excellent communication skills in writing and over the phone. He understands the stress and dynamics of getting a home on the market -- as well as getting a home sold. What Steve has cannot be taught -- he has a dynamic insight to his clients needs and a foresight to meet the unspoken requests of the family he works along side. CENTURY 21 Beachside, you have a gem on your hands -- Steve demonstrates a work ethic and a genuine interest in doing his job with excellence and a highly-professional sincerity.
Sales as many aspects to it -- the true art of sales is a goal is to facilitate close of the sale and the pure desire to represent the needs of the client. Steve Ristaino has these skills making him someone whose born to have job he's found. Steve has the zeal to succeed blending the love of his work and his desire to find the best deal for the people he represents -- making it look easy all the while working relentlessly for his client.

We used Steve through a referral from USAA. What a referral!!! Steve started our
search by asking what we were looking for and refined the search as we looked at
homes. He only showed us homes for what we were looking for. Steve was always
attentive to our needs, even though we were probably a tough customer, he was
always there for us. A true professional by all means. Another attribute is his ability
to keep us cool, calm, and collected during the contract/closing process.

I would most definitely work with him again and recommend him highly to my associates and friends in the future!!

Hardest working agent we've ever met
We first met Steve when we were considering selling our home in 2017. After interviewing others, we selected him as our agent. He studied our property, did the market analysis, and even took some of our hazardous waste to the local facility. Then we decided not to sell after all. He took it in stride and gave us a subscription to his magazine. Almost three years later, we called him just to discuss an article in the magazine. That led to a discussion of the crazy virus-distorted 2020 real estate prices and we decided again to sell our home. It is an unusual home, built to our design in 1978 with many solar and "smart" features that put it 20 years ahead of its time. But that was 40 years ago and it was showing its age. It clearly required a special buyer. Steve again analyzed the market and gave us good information on preparing and pricing it. It soon sold for about what Steve predicted. Then we left California and left the house in Steve's hands with a lot of detail work yet to be finished. Steve took care of everything before and after we left, down to helping carry boxes from the attic and cleaning the oven himself. He's the best.

Steve was Amazing!! I live in San Diego and we needed to buy a home in Upland for our Mom. Our schedules and the distance did not allow us to be proactive in searching for that perfect place! Steve produced beautiful homes for sale and did our tours via video chat! We loved a home, placed our offer and offer was accepted!! Escrow was opened the next day! It was that easy and we didn't even have to leave our house! Steve was a bit nervous that we were in escrow and we hadn't been up to see the property. We made the trip up and YES! The house was better in real life!! Steve made the transaction so easy! His professionalism, knowledge, and attitude make him the BEST in Class! We loved him so much that we used him on another home purchase in San Diego! Thanks Steve!!
