In fact, Steve’s work on behalf of his clients is so effective that 90 percent of them refer their friends and family to Steve or return to him for their subsequent sales or purchases. He has recently hired Carmen Johnson, a former Marketing Manager for Compass' Westside, for an added high-touch approach to the virtual presence necessary to navigate the market at this digitally-focused time.
