Simply the best, above and beyond, exceptional, realtor

Steve Sawai is truly extraordinary. I have worked with him for over 40 years and have recommended him to countless friends throughout the time. Most recently, when selling my lot in Pacific Palisades, Steve went above and beyond out of 14 realtors involved he was the only one who personally showed up to walk the property with a buyer who was actively looking for lots. Every other agent simply sent their buyer on their own that level of dedication, professionalism, and personal involvement is exactly why Steve stands out and why I continue to trust and recommend him without hesitation

Working with Steve Sawai was great!

Working with Steve Sawai was great!

Steve’s marketing knowledge and communication skills were outstanding. Whenever he advised me, he always explained why and it always turned out to be right. He knew the right listing price and got me more than what I expected. His excellent negotiating skills closed escrow in approximately 30 days. He knew how to screen potential buyers, and found the right buyer. He always communicated with me as to what was happening and always took time to answer my calls. I would definitely recommend Steve to anyone looking for a realtor.

Forever Grateful

I've worked with Steve several times, but you learn about someone's character when your back is up against the wall. My wife and I, like many others, lost our home in the Palisades Fire. My wife was pregnant at the time and without going into every detail, I was lost, frightened and paralyzed by confusion. Steve, who was also personally suffering from the same tragedy, made it his responsibility to help take care of us. At a time when it made sense to be selfish and put yourself first, Steve carried us on his back. When people were being greedy and opportunistic, trying to profit from other people's perils, Steve was out there everyday helping people from his community. The entire time, he was level headed, sympathetic, and practical. He was thoughtful and took care of everything he could to lighten our mental load. Steve is a man of honor, dignity, and virtue. Because of Steve, we were able to bring our baby girl to a home from the hospital and I am forever grateful to him.

Both Steve and Justin were great on helping me find a home. As a first time buyer they answered all my questions that I had and I never felt pressured and made sure that I was 100% comfortable with the house before purchasing it.

Steve is truly the best in the business! As an agent, he is professional, an excellent communicator, and always goes above and beyond to meet your needs. In an extremely unpredictable market, he was able to cut through the noise and secure our dream home. We couldn’t be happier — we love Steve!

Steve is an excellent agent who takes the needs and goals of his client seriously. He patiently helped us through the very emotional sale of our home, navigating a few challenging periods, but ultimately getting us what we wanted. I highly recommend Steve Sawaii and his team.

Great West Side Broker

We worked with Steve during one of the most difficult times, from 2019-2022. As we worked to sell our Brentwood estate during this uncertain time, Steve came up with creative solutions and helpful ideas for both us the seller and for the buyer. He was experienced with the residential market on the Westside and with the clientele for this market. Steve always had a smile and a professional yet kind demeanor. Ultimately, Steve’s greatest strength was his excellent timing. Thank you Steve! Karl T.

Steve Sawai provided a highly professional, extremely informative, and smooth sailing experience.

Our experience with Steve Sawai was truly pleasurable as he was able to handle all aspects related to selling our home at the best price possible. In addition, many questions came up about a multitude of issues that may arise during the preparation, execution, and closing of the real estate transaction. He was available at all times during the process. We are all very grateful to him for a job well done!
