I was fortunate to find Steven (Steve to me) as I started to look at homes. My wife and I were living in Elk Grove and knew it was time to leave the area when the Sheriffs were out in our area several times to break up parties but not go to the drug home and stop the guy from selling. I found him when I looked at a residential areas website and he was prominently displayed as a known Realtor®. Upon contacting Steve he agreed to meet with my wife and me to talk about what we were looking for. He came prepared to the meeting with documentation on the different areas that we were interested in and we discussed a plan to have him sell our current home and help us purchase a new one. The first snag is we have a fish pond and we wanted to build a bigger one at our new home. He mentioned our best option was to buy the new home and then sell our current home so we can do the modifications to all…

I was fortunate to find Steven (Steve to me) as I started to look at homes. My wife and I were living in Elk Grove and knew it was time to leave the area when the Sheriffs were out in our area several times to break up parties but not go to the drug home and stop the guy from selling. I found him when I looked at a residential areas website and he was prominently displayed as a known Realtor®. Upon contacting Steve he agreed to meet with my wife and me to talk about what we were looking for. He came prepared to the meeting with documentation on the different areas that we were interested in and we discussed a plan to have him sell our current home and help us purchase a new one. The first snag is we have a fish pond and we wanted to build a bigger one at our new home. He mentioned our best option was to buy the new home and then sell our current home so we can do the modifications to allow us to bring over our fish. That was when the stress started for my wife. The thought of two home mortgages was not what she really wanted to do. We looked at homes in several areas and I found one that hit the MLS one particular day. He met us there and we toured the house with him. When we walked in we found the house to be what we wanted. We also found several other Realtor® cards on the counter. Steve said we should go down the street and talk over our options. He was very clear that others were looking and we should hit this one hard if we really wanted. We ran into him later that night at a local restaurant as we went out to dinner and he was working already with his Mortgage broker to put a finance package for us. He negotiated the closing for us and started marketing our other house. We closed on the new house and put in our pond and moved. We are extremely happy with our purchase. Now the real stress hit as we started to sell our old house. It took a little bit of time but he marketed it well, when we didn't get any offers right away he had the tough discussion about dropping the price a little and we agreed. It sold the next week with multiple offers that he guided us through and we picked the one that best fit us. You would think I would be done now but you are wrong. Steve has gone above and beyond since the sale. I have had contact with him over the years when I want to get things done in the house as he knows other businesses that are great to work with. If I need anything for my house I know I can contact Steve and he will respond to me and help me with wonderful guidance. The way he treated my wife and I has made him feel like he is family. I know if I ever want to sell my house and purchase another one I know I will call him again. I would refer anyone I know that is looking for a home to him in a minute.

We'll give him a 10. If you're looking for an amazing real estate agent, Steve Rath (with Better Homes Realty is your guy. We were relocating to the area, sat down to the first talk, and tell him what we were looking for. He actually listened and showed us just the right properties and he also dug around and found properties, I would never have thought of. He knows neighborhoods and enclaves within neighborhoods, home quality real-life neighborhood info not just the online stuff, builders, and just everything about the business. We were extremely impressed by his market knowledge. Lastly, he is an outstanding negotiator, told us exactly what the strategy was and what to expect during the negotiations. He was right on target. I'd meet with him and check him out. Highly recommend.

Steve was referred to me by a close friend when we first started to think about buying. Steve spent 5 weekends with us driving through different neighborhoods and looking at homes. His vast experience and knowledge of the greater Sacramento area allowed us to eventually make the right decision. He negotiated a great deal for us and to this day we live in and love our home. Since that time, I've also bought several rental properties with Steve as my agent. When my mother moved to Sacramento, I wholeheartedly recommended Steve and she bought her home with his guidance. I would without any hesitation recommend Steve to anyone looking to find the perfect home in the perfect location.

Steve was an absolute pleasure to work with. He sold my house in Roseville in a week’s time and found me the perfect house in East Sacramento. He also went way out of his normal territory to find my fiancées house in the foothills, securing a perfect match. He has many great relationships with other professionals in related industries that help make the whole process of buying and selling smooth and seamless for his clients. Very professional and a great guy all around. I highly recommend him for anyone's real estate needs and have referred him to many of my friends.

Steve was referred to us by a close friend when we were relocating back to the Sacramento area. Steve spent numerous weekends with us driving through different neighborhoods and looking at homes. His vast experience and knowledge of the greater Sacramento area allowed us to eventually make the right decision. He takes the time to get to know you as a person and to solicit your wants and needs. He made the process stress-free from start to finish and until this day we live in and love our home. We highly recommend Steve to get the job done for you.

For more than 20 years I've been impressed with Steve's efforts in the world of real estate. But it really hit home when I moved out of state and I had to use other agents. What I thought was common practice turned out to be Steve going the extra mile to understand the differences in your situation compared to others. That way he could come up with strategies to separate you from the pack. He is a 24/7 kind of worker, looking out for your best interest and I wish he was up in this area.
