"We are so grateful that Steve and Anne Marie were able to be part of and guide us on our home selling journey. It was very emotional to sell our dream home and move across country all during a pandemic. They were always there for us not only as our realtors but as friends as well. We presented them with a very short timeline and they handled it flawlessly, going above and beyond. Our beautiful home sold in one weekend, way beyond asking and closing was a very easy process. We will always be thankful for their hard work and dedication. "

"My husband & I recently fulfilled our intention of buying a home in the highly sought after, extremely challenging, “seller is king” Burbank market! Inventory is consistently low, & bidding amounts for just about every structure standing on ‘4 pillars’ are ridiculous! There are 2 things, we would personally advise every serious house hunter to be armed with. The 1st is a very well informed; very reliable; & VERY patient real estate agent. Optimism would be an add on! Steve was undoubtedly all of this! Having no clue about buying homes, we constantly relied on his advice & judgement on the smallest of things about each of the tons of homes we saw. With Steve, you’ll not feel foolish about having constant or blatantly ignorant layman queries; or about starting from scratch each time, in what might seem like an endless hunt! The 2nd is (for anyone who understands this stuff) NOT to blindly do what everyone else seems to be doing but to be in a state of inner clarity about what YOU value not just in the home you seek, but also in the ways you are willing to receive it. Being meditators & spiritually grounded took care of this part for us. We knew we would never give in to bidding wars beyond a reasonable point, no matter how tempting; & we trusted that if we were meant to find a home in any location, the divine would work on it in ways that felt right to us. We were proven right! Even with zeroing in on Steve, as our agent, we felt guided to have taken the right decision. Perfectly maintained homes to fixer uppers, we looked at everything. He always made sure to answer everything honestly from our point of view, no matter how cumbersome the process; & was never pushy; impatient; or unenthusiastic. He’s also always on top of things; plus has a rich data bank of all kinds of resources one needs during/ post the purchase. We chose not just our lending agent, but also our painters (post purchase) through his reference & were very happy in both choices. Post our long association with Steve, we have no hesitation in saying that if you’re looking for a friendly, knowledgeable real estate agent with unquestionable integrity; in or near L.A; you’ll not regret choosing him!"

"Steve Roman helped us find a new home, at the same time made our old home ready to sell. I would give him six stars if I could. I have been more than a little overwhelmed by this process, and Steve made it possible. There was a lot of work to do, and my wife and I had very little time or energy, but Steve stepped in and handled ALL of the logistics. Not only did he provide recommendations for contractors to do the work we needed, but the personally took care of small things around the house (new fixtures, cabinet repairs, etc.) AND he spent several days managing the contractors to ensure that the work was done to his standard. If you have the impression that Real Estate Agents don’t work hard or provide sufficient value to earn their commissions, then you should meet Steve. He has MORE than earned his commission for us. "

"Steve and Anne-Marie, first of all, are amazing humans. As first time home buyers in this unbelievably difficult market, they were able to deliver in helping my husband and I purchase our dream home. We knew nothing about buying a home and they were able to hold our hands through this whole process. They are super knowledgeable and with each viewing pointed out different aspects of the home that might require specific type of maintenance. Going into this process, we had a vague idea of what our dream home would look like... and through all the viewings, disappointments in being out-bid, and getting cold feet in making an offer, Steve and Anne-Marie were there to reassure and support us. Their input really helped so that we would not make a hasty decision. Ultimately, after months of searching, the home of our dreams found us, and it would not have been realized without this amazing team! They also connected us to an incredible mortgage broker who helped keep escrow on track and totally support us along the way. Oh, and our offer was accepted a couple days after our baby was born, so you can only imagine the possibility for chaos while we were in escrow. Fortunately, everything went smoothly and we have Steve and Anne-Marie to thank!"

"My parents were looking to sell one of their properties in Los Angeles, CA and I thought of Steve Roman right away. The experience was amazing! He was so easy to work with and everything went smoothly....and fast! Loved that he was always on top of everything and was always available for any questions we had. He took his time to explain things and was very accommodating. He loves what he does and does what he loves and it definitely shows. I would definitely recommend Steve Roman Estates for anyone’s real estate needs! I’d give 10 stars if I could!"

"Where to begin...well, first off, we are so happy that we BEGAN with Anne-Marie and Steve! From start to finish, they were with us and our family. After deciding to relocate to the Southeast, during a global pandemic, Anne-Marie took the bull by the horns and made the sale of our home and our transition from West coast to East coast a smooth one. We have never worked with a team so willing to get “dirty” and to help out. (They might not want me to advertise that!...They HELPED US CLEAN AND PREP OUR HOUSE for the sale!) Through the showing and offer process they were extremely professional and had our interests in mind at all times. We couldn’t imagine a better team to work with in the world, let alone in the Los Angeles/Burbank area. A big thank you to Anne-Marie and Steve, our new friends and favorite realtors!"

"Steve and Anne Marie are the quintessential agents you want in your corner when buying a house. When my wife-to-be and I began our search for a home back in June of 2021, we understood that we faced an inhospitable market for buyers, especially first-time buyers. Listings would be available for 7-10 days before falling under contract, homes were selling for 10-20% higher than list price, and the market segment for homes within our budget were exhibiting the highest competition. Steve and Anne Marie’s complementary skill set ensured that we were able to efficiently navigate the market and close on a home. When beginning to assist our home search, Steve and Anne Marie were quick to hone in on our must-haves and nice-to-haves. Listings were curated and delivered to us in a seamless email and web-page interface, allowing for us to quickly review homes and down-select features we did not prefer. For the listings that piqued our interest, Steve and Anne Marie were quick to coordinate a showing with the listing agent and have us touring the house, even as soon as the next day. Such a turnaround was vital in a market with very short listing lifecycles. In addition, Anne Marie was especially adept at building relationships with the listing agents, often paying dividends when it came time for placing an offer. In fact, due to her efforts, we were able to obtain exclusive access to homes that were yet to be listed. Having such an advantage is pivotal in this market. Following our in-person review of a home, Steve’s in-depth market analysis and experience permitted us to make confident decisions based on data, experience, and analysis, all while minimizing the risks that plagued other buyers in a hot seller’s market. Steve provided unique advice and strategy that allowed us to generate competitive and uniquely structured offers that did not sacrifice contingencies. Given our risk-averse nature, Steve’s approach fit perfectly with our objectives and comfort level. Following offer acceptance and transition into Escrow, Steve and Anne Marie ensured that our contingencies were satisfied in a timely manner and that any potential blockers were handled effectively. At one moment, we ran into a potential deal-breaking scenario with respect to our Loan that could have led to us losing the home we were fighting so hard to close on (not to mention this all occurred less than 48 hours before our wedding). Steve and Anne Marie were up in the late hours of the night working toward a solution, culminating in the mitigation of that threat on our behalf (our wedding weekend proceeded without any worry related to our escrow, as we knew we were in good hands). In summary, Steve and Anne Marie are a dynamic duo that places any buyer they represent in a competitive advantage. You are essentially receiving the unique skill set of two distinct and skillful agents. Each agent on their own would set up any buyer/seller for success, but as a unified team the sum of their skills make for an unstoppable force. We are truly fortunate for their representation of us in buying a home, and we thoroughly recommend other buyers to follow suit and leverage their capabilities."

"I just sold my Burbank house with Ann Marie and Steve as my agents. I sought them out after meeting them a year ago when they sold my neighbor’s house with impressive results and after confirming from my neighbors their strong recommendation to sign on with Anne Marie and Steve. From start to finish, they have been engaged, responsive, informative and supportive. Despite the recent relative cooling in the market, we were able to sell above asking in one day! During the negotiations, it was clear that Ann Marie and Steve had the necessary credibility, knowledge and experience with agents, inspectors/vendors and title to help all parties feel like winners."

"Steve and Anne-Marie are the best! If you’re looking to buy a home in Burbank, no one knows the market and the neighborhoods like they do. More importantly, they take the time to listen to your needs and work with you to find the best house for you and your family. We’ve also gotten so many great recommendations from them post-purchase, for all the little things that come up once you buy a home. They made a potentially difficult and stressful process go so smoothly; it really was a pleasure to work with them. So grateful to them for helping us find our new home!"
