Steve Martin & Leslie Holt – Eagle Real Estate Services

Steve Martin helped us with the sale of our Mother’s condo in Rossmoor. My sisters and I all live out of state and thought we would have to make multiple trips back to handle everything. Steve went above and beyond to make sure we didn’t have to do this from meeting all the inspectors, finding us reliable handymen and painters, to staging and selling her place one day on the market. Steve is an amazing Real Estate agent and such a pleasure to work with.

We’ve used Steve and Leslie for several transactions and are so impressed with their hard work and diligence. Getting inspections done upfront saved us revisiting the negotiating table. Everything was upfront and transparent. Will definitely use them again!

Real estate transactions put my anxiety level through the roof. HOWEVER, Steve Martin made me feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire process. When you work with Steve, you are always confident that he is representing your best interest. …down to the smallest detail! Moreover, his consultative style always makes you feel in control. …which was important to me. He is an extraordinary professional and personable guy.

This team is good, really good. I’ve been through more than 30 real estate deals and none was as beautifully managed as this.
Steve and Leslie advised us, arrange for repairs and improvements, obtained all inspections in advance, and staged the house beautifully. Very professional up to this point.
Once on the market, that’s when their game really picked up. I’ve watched lots of very good businessman in action. None have impressed me like Steve did during the final negotiations when the offers were coming in and counter offers were going out. This is when he kicks into high gear. Highly ethical, motivated by fairness, and interested in the best outcome for all parties, Steve truly optimized our position.
Steve really knows his business inside and out. Every detail was executed flawlessly. I could not recommend a realtor more highly.

Steve and Leslie sold our home in Danville in 2014. They were fantastic and made sure every detail was covered. It made our downsizing so much easier for us. We highly recommend using them.

Steve sold 2 properties in helping to dissolve our family estate. He worked through different family personalities with utmost professionalism. Because of his help we were able to sell the properties quickly and get top dollar on the sales. I would definitely use Steve again and would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to buy or sell property.

Steve was my agent through the purchase of an investment property in Concord. He brought forward a great deal very quickly and helped navigate through a very delicate negotiating process with the seller. At one point the negotiation almost fell through but Steve was able to find a successful resolution with the seller. He was extremely responsive at every step of the transaction. He was also able to refer me to a very good and well-​priced contractor. It definitely pays to work with someone as experienced as Steve.

Steve assisted in buying my new home. Not only is Steve a skilled realtor in obtaining an excellent price, but also aggressively assisted the appraiser in generating an appraisal that was favorable to me. I would highly recommend Steve Martin in any real estate transaction.

5÷26÷2014 — Unbelievable team!!!
We were ecstatic with joy at the outcome of our house sale orchestrated by Steve Martin and Leslie Holt. We prepped the house for sale with Leslie’s artistically professional eye for curb appeal, and with her free staging services the house and yard looked amazing! After one weekend of huge open houses the house was sold WAY WAY over asking with 6 offers to consider ! Steve was instrumental in negotiating the final sales price with his years of knowledge behind him, granting us the sweetest deal we ever could have imagined, including almost 2 months of free rent back after closing. Smiling into retirement! Liz L.

When it came time to sell our 1^st house, working with Eagle Real Estate Services was the best decision we could have ever made! Leslie & Steve had the knowledge and experience necessary to handle whatever came our way. Our daughter had just been born and we quickly realized that we’d out-​grown our condo! Leslie was amazing, no matter what we needed! When we were listing our home, she came and staged our condo. It looked so good, I didn’t want to move after all! When other realtors came with their clients to see our home, Leslie was emphatic that they needed to phone me first as I may be busy with my newborn. That was so truly appreciated!
Their proactive marketing resulted in multiple offers. They are masters at this. Leslie & Steve thoroughly explored every lead, provided advice on which ones to consider and which ones were «too good to be true»! I am certain this was the reason we received top dollar.
With so many things going, being new parents, selling & buying a home; I was completely comfortable and at-​ease and can honestly say that moving with a 4 month old was a piece of cake!

Gone are the days of reviewing everything like my roommates
, my liver
, quoting Judy Blume
, or incorporating Journey into a yoga review
. Long gone are the days of Elite parties and ROTDs. They gave me that gold 5 year Elite badge then decided to retire me.
With that said, lately I write reviews of establishments that stand out in being really great or very horrible. Eagle Real Estate Services falls into the REALLY REALLY GREAT category.
When I decided it was time to buy a house again, I started looking through the real estate websites like Trulia and Redfin. I came across a house that looked great compared to the other listings so I went to the open house. The photos in the listing captured the true feel of the house. You almost didn’t need to visit in person. Earlier that week my coworkers gave me glowing recommendations for Eagle Real Estate Services. I realized after the open house that they were the same firm representing the Seller of the home I just left.
They were a pleasure to work with. We looked at a number of homes and put quite a few offers in with no luck since I wasn’t flush with cash to make higher than asking offers. They were tenacious in helping me get the home I wanted without sacrificing their ethics and integrity like some of the Agents we encountered. Despite rejection after rejection, they persevered and kept my spirits up and hopes alive. They went above and beyond in making themselves available and keeping me informed of the progress or status of my offers. And while I don’t have experience with them as a Seller, you know your listing is in good hands when you are drawn to theirs.
This Thanksgiving I am thankful for Leslie, Steve, and Eagle Real Estate.

We recently worked with Steve and Leslie for a home purchase in Alamo, CA and they were a pleasure to work with — honest, hard working, organized, patient yet persistent and fair.
Over the last 5 years, we have bought and sold over $ 15 million in single family real estate across CA /​CT /​WA — homes for ourselves and investment properties. We have worked with several firms and agents to represent us — a couple great, a few good, and 1 – 2 bad.
Steve and Leslie are definitely in the «great» category vs the others we have worked with. They went above and beyond just helping us purchase the home — which we did remotely as we were out of town for most of the buying process. They made themselves available to join all inspections no matter how short of notice, organized all files in binders for us and shipped them to our location so we could review, submitted a landscape proposal to our HOA, and worked with the title and banks to ensure that documents could be signed by myself in one location, and my husband in another but still meet all closing deadlines.
No matter what question we had, they took the time to explain everything to us. And they were always available — which was something very important to us.

Steve is very knowledgeable and experienced. It was wonderful to work with him. Steve’s attention to details and keeping us informed every step of the way not only impressed us but made us feel comforted. He has the magic touch to say the least! We had our first offer accepted due to Steve valuing everyone’s part and focusing on our interpersonal skills. I can’t say more because we truly believe this is his secret weapon which should be common sense in this high tech impersonal world. So if you want to get it done right, Steve’s the man!

If I could give more stars on Unilocal,I would. Steve has worked with many of our friends and family members over the last 10 years, and as they experienced, working with Steve has been excellent. Steve is professional, extremely involved with the entire home-​buying experience, and very, very knowledgable. He works hard to make the deal work for you and is highly invested in making sure you find the perfect home for you.
The home we wanted– and that is absolutely PERFECT for our family– was primed to be a tricky deal. Steve pulled off the deal with absolute finesse. He was always reachable, had brilliant ideas, and really was the reason were able to get this beautiful home in Danville for an awesome price. As first time home buyers, this experience was smooth and Steve kept us informed and made sure we understood every step of the process.
Steve and Leslie (who we’ve also worked with) are both so wonderful to work with, that a Unilocal review alone could not convey what a mistake it would be NOT to work with them.

Working with Steve Martin in finding us a new home for us in the East Bay Area. He is extremely easy to work with, professional and a great guy. Will keep this review updated with how we progress in the purchase process. His 28 years experience in the business is amazing.
