We have looked for a Carmel residence for years. We never found the correct mix of property and/or agent to bring our dream into fruition. Several months ago we crossed paths with Stephen Poletti. When Steve came to meet us, it quickly became apparent that he was quite personable and that his primary concern was finding a property that matched our personal needs verses attempting to sell us anything to generate a commission. Those personal traits are rare in the world of real estate. With his guidance, expertise and personal interests in meeting our needs, we found the property that has eluded us for years. The process was painless and couldn't have been done without Stephen in the mix!
Thank you Stephen!
With much appreciation and gratitude

Mr. Poletti, I just wanted to say thank you again for taking this house selling process and doing the great job you did. I appreciate your patience and understanding and making everything as pleasant for everyone involved.
If I have anyone that is in need of selling a house, I will assure you, I will give your name and number to contact right away. Thank you again for your hard work...

I purchased a home in Boise, Idaho to move close to my daughter and her family. The purchase was contingent upon the sale of my house in Salinas. I had a bad experience with a real estate agent and I asked the broker in Boise if she could recommend a good agent in my area. She referred Steve Poletti to me as someone with a good deal of experience and someone that I could trust. We had a short time period to get a sale going on my house so Steve recommended that we underprice my house to attract a buyer immediately. His strategy was to create a multiple offer situation and possibly sell the house for over asking price. We listed the house in late September, 2003 at $310,000.00 and got 8 offers the first week. We closed in 30 days and the eventual sales price was $348,000.00! Steve's work was extraordinary!

I first met Steve when he represented a buyer for a rental property I had on the market in Marina, CA. Although I was working as a planner for the City of Pacific Grove, I was also a real estate broker and the listing agent. Steve's negotiating strategy worked on me and my wife Linda, and we ended up selling for less than we had originally planned because the offer was very clean and straight-forward. When we moved to Hawaii a few months later, although I knew a lot of other brokers, the realtor that I wanted to represent me was Steve Poletti. The decision paid off. Steve sold our house for the highest dollar per square foot recorded in New Monterey for the summer of 2003.

Steve represented us on the purchase of our home in Calabasas when we
moved out from Dallas, Texas. Steve was a strong negotiator on our
behalf and I was impressed with his thorough knowledge of the business
and his attention to detail. Through Steve's efforts and his good counseling, we got a great deal on our home. I would not hesitate to recommend Steve to anyone.

I sent my wife up to the Monterey Peninsula to look for a home to buy for our son to live in while he attended the local university at Ft. Ord. Within 3 days she had called me and said that the realtor she met had found a great house for us. Not only did he negotiate a deal well below asking price, but he turned us on to a local contractor that was top notch as well. We were well taken care of by Steve and his team of experts.

When Steve approached us with an investment opportunity we took the drive over to Pebble Beach and checked out the vacant lot Steve had found. Steve said that the property was well priced and that getting water to it would make it worth considerably more. In less than two months Steve had a buyer for the lot at nearly double what we paid for it and we earned over 300% return on our money. Now we're buying a second property and we have every confidence that we'll make a profit on this one too. Steve really has a talent for this business and works very hard at it.

Steve Poletti urged my wife and me to buy the condominium that we liked in Del Rey Oaks. We were a little nervous that it might not be that good a deal. Steve insisted that it was and prepared a comparative market analysis to show us that it was really well priced. A year later our property is worth quite a bit more than we paid for it. Steve was right. We're glad we listened.

Steve kept us out of trouble when we ran into a real estate agent who was looking out for his best interest and not ours. Steve helped us to see that the house, which was the agent's own home, was over the budget that we had set for ourselves and was larger than we needed. Eventually, Steve found us the right house that was within our budget and we are thrilled with our new home. Steve is someone whom you can trust. We highly recommend him.
