More about Stephen Aranda

After a successful career as an opera singer, I was looking for a change. I got into real estate in the year 2000 when my wife and I bought our first home – a small fixer in Eagle Rock. The renovation process was so satisfying – and profitable – that I vowed to do more. I and a group of partners began to take dilapidated properties, neighborhood eyesores and transform them into clean, safe, affordable homes with a sense of style. Renovating and investing led me to lending, and eventually realty. So today, I help people at any point in the process. If you want to learn how to flip…I can teach you. Do you want to sell your home for way more than you thought possible? I can show you how. Need to find your dream home in a tough market? I can share with you what I do differently than anyone else when I buy my own homes. During the course of literally thousands of transactions since I ...

    • 5 out of 5 starsMultiple Offers Over AskingHello, my name is Maria Acua. Im here to talk a little bit about Steve Aranda and how I met him.I met Steve while he was remodeling a house on Christmas Tree Lane in Altadena, and we got to talking regarding his remodel he was doing and what his background was.We met and we talked a couple of times and I asked him to come over and tell me what he thought of my property, which was maybe 3 or 4 houses down the street.While talking to Steve, two things I liked about Steve. One of them was he was very sincere about either selling my house or finding alternative ways of doing what I wanted to accomplish, which was to retire, buy my house outright, and not have any worries regarding mortgage any more.He suggested really strong possibilities. I researched them, and it didnt work for me, so I called him back so I called him back about selling the house itself.During the selling the house it was so quick it was unbelievable, it was great. I was very comfortable with who he brought as a seller, I was comfortable the way he processed the sale of the house. I would recommend him highly.One of the things that is his strongest suit is hes very very honest. He will tell you whether its worth selling, whether its worth buying, how you could approach what you want to accomplish in the end of everything.So I really recommend him, I hope you work with him, and he does call back also.

    • 5 out of 5 starsBest realtor ever!I worked with Steve and it was great. He basically sold my house for much more than I originally thought I was going to sell it for. He did a wonderful job. He was able to sell my home in a short amount of time, stage it, go to market for it, and do a lot of things that a lot of other realtors could not do! It was amazing. I literally was over the moon, and now Im in another home that I love. And I just want to say that if it wasnt for Steve I dont know what I would have done. He really did an outstanding job. I highly recommend him.

    • 5 out of 5 starsGratitudeMost people dread the idea of having to sell a house. You put it on the market, it sits there, you dont know whats going to happen, when someone finally puts in an offer they want to negotiateits just a big headache! And for me personally, I had this additional headache in that it was for my dad. I was trying to move him across country to be with me. So not only was I having to sell his house, but I wasnt even there to help with it. And my mom had passed away a few years back and the house was not in the shape it should have been in. So I was a little nervous. But I worked with Steve and he was a SUPERSTAR with this. We had an offer for the house before it even went on the market, and it was an incredibly fair offer for the condition it was in. It was unbelievable With Steves connections and his expertise, it was done, and it was done fast, and I could not be happier. So thank you so much Steve, and if anyone is thinking if Steve is the right one for you, I would highly, highly recommend him. Thanks so much!

    • 5 out of 5 starsI Had an Amazing Experience Working with Steve.I had an amazing experience working with Steve. I am visually impaired, and Steve really went above and beyond in my accommodations with documents, checking out properties by hand for me, palming through properties, feeling properties with my cane and my feet. We went through several places, and I was humbled by his patience, his kindness, and his general professionalism. I highly recommend Steve for being your real estate agent. I am forever indebted and grateful to him, and very happy about everything that went on in the real estate transaction.
