Beach Team Real Estate | Steve Nader

The Beach Team exceeded my expectations. Their professionalism, due diligence, and expertise in the Long Beach market was outstanding. Just as important were the people connection aspects - the entire team was an absolute pleasure to work with and brought a level of passion and positive energy that permeated everything they did (case in point: the fantastic home pictures and videos). I look forward to working with them on our future Long Beach home needs.

We had an amazing experience working with Steve to buy our first home! He was very resourceful and knowledgeable, and always available whenever we had questions… and we had a lot! He was there every step of the way to make sure we felt comfortable with our decisions as first time homebuyers. Buying our first home was such a huge milestone for us, and we’re so grateful Steve helped make it happen. We officially have the keys and couldn’t be happier! We would absolutely work with him again and recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

We had a great experience with Steve and the team at Beach Team Real Estate. They took care of everything - paint selection, awnings, contractors, staging, etc - and the house looked better than ever when it went on the market. Steve's advice was spot on for listing and negotiating. We ended up listing the house for more than we originally expected to get and closed for $100K above that. This was the best real estate experience we have had and we would hire them again without hesitation.

We had a terrific experience with Steve Nader and his entire Beach Team members. We moved out of state just as the sale process was starting, so we were not able to be present for most of the steps of the transaction. Steve and his team immediately stepped in and handled everything perfectly on our behalf. For us, a huge part of working with a business partner like the Beach Team is communication. Steve, Cindi, and everyone else were always available when we needed, and provided regular and frequent updates on the latest developments. We cannot recommend Steve and the Beach Team more highly.

I recently sold my Lakewood, Ca. property with Steve Nader and the Beach Team, and I honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience with them. Having been a teacher for over 20 years, I recognize when someone has developed a system that truly works—and this team has it down to perfection! From beginning to end, everything was incredibly organized, efficient, and professional. Before the property ever went on the market, Steve made sure it was beautifully prepared and presented in a way that would really appeal to buyers. He knows his business and clearly understands what it takes to market a property successfully. The results spoke for themselves—the property went on the market, and within just two days we had three offers! I was amazed and very impressed. There were many documents to sign throughout the process, and I especially appreciated how well their system kept me organized with easy to follow directions. This made the entire process so much less stressful. But what impressed me most was the communication. Steve kept me informed every step of the way. He is an extremely busy and successful realtor, yet you would never know it when speaking with him. He is always pleasant, polite, patient, and somehow makes you feel as though he has all the time in the world for you. Every question was answered quickly, and I always knew exactly what was happening with my property. The ladies on his team were equally wonderful—professional, friendly, responsive, and incredibly organized. Every email, document, phone call, and detail was handled beautifully. I have sold properties before and worked with other real estate companies, but the Beach Team truly stands far above the rest. Their organization, communication, professionalism, attention to detail, and personal care are exceptional. Thank you, Steve and the entire Beach Team, for making the sale of my property such a smooth and positive experience. I would recommend you without hesitation!

Steve, Cindi, and the team are very very good at way they do. From our initial meeting with them, to searching for our home, buying it, and helping us coordinate contractors after, they have been professional, proactive, responsive, and fun to work with. I can't recommend Steve and the team more highly, and I am looking forward to continuing to work with them!

Steve and his team have been incredible to work with. Steve was very patient with all of the criteria we had to buy a home and we never felt pressured to settle. Once we found a house we loved, the Beach Team was extremely on top of things to help with negotiations and make sure we got through escrow on time. We also love how involved Steve is in the community and how knowledgeable he is about the market in Long Beach. Even after the close of our house, Steve has been an awesome resource for us. He truly goes above and beyond! We'll definitely be going to him for all of our real estate needs in the future.

Steve helped us pull off a move we genuinely weren't sure was possible: selling and buying at the same time, when we needed the proceeds from the sale to fund the down payment on the new home. What stood out from the very beginning was how present he was. Before we'd even signed with him, Steve was spending an hour at a time on the phone with us, and that never let up across the entire process. When we first met him, we were dealing with a slab leak that insurance wouldn't cover. He told us the thing we didn't want to hear, that we needed to repipe the entire house - and this is exactly what earned our trust. He then coached us through several months of getting the house ready, connected us with every vendor we needed along the way, and stayed patient while we got everything where it needed to be. Selling our home was a real pricing challenge, because there was nothing quite like it on the market. It came down to pricing in a view and upgrades that are inherently subjective, which meant selling the feeling and the value to the buyer through the entire presentation. Steve brought the full arsenal to do exactly that: professional photography, video, a social media push, print, even drone footage. After one weekend on the market, our Long Beach home had multiple offers, and we accepted one that was 30% above what we paid 3.5 years earlier. At the same time, Steve helped us buy in Sherman Oaks. I gave him a specific and aggressive goal: take advantage of what looked like a soft market and keep our purchase price low. He was measured with me every step of the way, and at times he named back what I was feeling better than I could. At one point he pointed out that my opinion on each property seemed to shift with my mood, which was exactly the nudge I needed to slow down and figure out what I actually thought. After touring multiple properties and negotiating on several of them, we closed 15% below the original asking price. He kept fighting for us through a messy escrow, including a property with an incorrect address and sellers who weren't eager to fix it. When those sellers dragged their feet on agreed-upon repairs, Steve set up an escrow holdback so we could close on time while giving the sellers a real reason to finish the work before they got paid. Steve also connected us with Chris Fenoglio, who guided us through the financing, which was its own puzzle. We sold with a three-week rent-back and made a contingent offer on the new place, which let us put our full financing toward the more expensive home and gave us breathing room to get organized and move. We're now in our dream home, and we owe a lot to Steve, Cindi, and the whole team. If you're buying, selling, or somehow doing both at once, we recommend them without reservation.

Great experience! Steve Nader is the best, most competent real estate agent that I’ve ever worked with. Steve and his team guided me through the entire process and made it seem easy.

Steve and his team are top notch! I've had the pleasure of working with Steve over the last 2 years. He carries a deep depth of experience, knowledge and drive to help and serve the community. You would be in excellent hands for buying or selling with Steve!
