Steve was so knowledgeable and incredibly accommodating during the entire home buying process.

Steven went above and beyond to sell out house. Was very responsive to our questions and his experience greatly contributed to the successful sale of our home.

Steve Golden has been the best realtor we have ever worked with. He understood what we were looking for and used his extensive real estate experience to help us find our new home. Steve managed to gracefully walk the line between guiding us to something he knew we would like, and taking our requirements literally.

Steve Golden is responsible for getting us our dream home! When we met Steve we told him our budget, target location and desired features and he was excited to help us find it. When we were ready to submit an offer, we had one challenge after the other (multiple offers, cross qualifications, etc.) and I know for a fact that we only got the home due to Steve’s knowledge, expertise, persistence and business savvy. I was really emotionally invested in our home, so I called and emailed Steve a lot during the negotiation period. He always kept us in the loop, took every one of our calls and was very transparent with us. He got the job done! Steve is generous with his time, extremely knowledgeable and genuinely cares about his clients, who he treats like family. Who you use to represent you does make a difference and I’d absolutely recommend Steve! He’s the best in the business.

I used Steve Golden as my agent for selling my house and buying a new one. He is fantastic!! He knows his business well and helped me understand the process along the way, step by step. Such a truly caring agent who has followed up with me every day since I've been in my new house. Couldn't say enough good things about him. I highly recommend calling Steve for all your real estate needs!! I couldn't be happier with Steve!!

My wife and I met Steve in Spring of 2014 while visiting an open house. After speaking with him at length we knew he was the Realtor for us. He is a true professional that knows the La Costa market well. He sold our La Costa condo and helped us find the perfect home for us in a highly competitive sellers-market. It was a grueling process finding the right home while keeping our buyer committed. Steve relentlessly got us into countless properties for close to 4 months until we finally found a home in an area we thought we were priced out of. He did an excellent job keeping it all together and keeping us moving toward our goal.

First, Steve helped my wife and I find our dream home in Carlsbad. Then, shortly after moving in we were relocated and immediately called him to help us. Many times in my past agents have been reluctant to help find a renter since they don't get a big commission and finding a renter is sometimes even more difficult than selling a home. He was as great as he was when we were looking to buy our home. He immediately began finding and screening numerous renters until he found us the perfect tenants. They have been renting our home for the last 3 years and all has gone perfectly.(he has even driven by at random times and emailed us updates on our property) I have bought and sold many homes over the past 30 years and Steve is by far the best I have ever met! Nice to have finally found someone in real estate that actually puts the client’s needs and best interests in front of their own. We would, and do recommend Steve to all of our friends and family!

have known Steve Golden for over 20 years. Steve Golden has been instrumental in assisting my family with our real estate needs on multiple occasions. He has proven himself to be loyal, honest and always put our needs and interests above others. He is trustworthy and extremely competent in his business. He is highly respected within the community and industry as well. He has my highest degree of recommendation.

A banker, and personal friend, gave my son-in-law the name of a real estate broker and agent to assist in the sale of our condo. The next step was to find a home near my daughter and her family who were expecting our fourth grandchild any day. With the name like Golden how could the transition be anything but smooth. Steve was the perfect choice. He listened to our needs and after selling our condo found a home within minutes of our precious grandchildren. We are now an intricate part of each other's lives. Thank you Steve Golden for living up to your name. If you want the best call Steve Golden

Steve helped us with the sale of our old home and purchase of our new townhome. He was very knowledgeable, honest and straight forward and helped guide us so that we were able to make our home look like a model and not a crazy house with 2 kids and a dog. There were quite a few hiccups from financing on our buyers side, which then led to problems on our side and as crazy as it got, Steve was on it for us. His experience showed and he didn't have us worrying about things that could be easily resolved. It was nice working with someone who knew the community well and was a professional in the whole process. He sold our home in 11 days and represented both sides.

I had the pleasure of working with Steven during a very difficult real estate period while we were living in San Elijo Hills. Steven's knowledge and trust- worthy connections helped us maneuver a potentially disastrous situation. I cannot say enough great things about his knowledge of the market, mortgages, etc.

Steve Golden has helped our family not only with his expertise in real estate but in many other areas of our lives. He is always there to lend a hand when needed. Steve helped sell our first house in Carlsbad in 2004 as well as found us a house to live in for the next 12 years. We have depended on him through the years for real estate information and updates. He is always readily available any time we have questions about market trends and updates. Steve in our opinion is an amazing negotiator and will always put the families best interest at heart. I highly recommend Steve for any real estate needs and advice. I will use Steve again as soon as we decide to make our next sale/purchase.

Living in Denver at the time, and looking for a home in San Marcos, was daunting to say the least. Fortunately, we were given Steve Golden's name by a former client and acquaintance. Steve's local knowledge and experience helped us find our home, at our price point, in our desired location. All within 3 days! But Steve's amazing skills didn't end there. He expeditiously arranged and coordinated all the legal and technical requirements and prepared the home prior to our move, including the removal and disposal of unwanted former owner furniture. Because the home was a resale, he also hired an outside cleaning service at his personal expense. If you are looking for the best for your real estate needs, go no further...Hire Steve Golden!

Steve was very responsive and professional. Highly recommend!

So glad we picked Steve to work with! He went above and beyond to help us get an amazing home that fits our needs and wants. Best realtor we have ever worked with by far!

Steve is a great person! He is a great realtor. He walked us through the process and gave us great advice. His recommendations and team made the process go very smooth!!!

Steve is more than an agent he is a friend. He went above and beyond every step of the way. He made the process so easy and I’ll be honest we required a lot of help. He answered his phone or returned calls almost immediately. Handled all of our questions. Even gave us referrals for A/C replacement paint and stucco guys, carpenters and an electrical. They all were the nicest friendly people who are now friends. Even Sally at escrow was Steve’s introduction. The entire experience was made so much better because Steve really cared. I highly recommend him.

We have purchased and sold 8 homes in 5 different states throughout the years so we know what a good realty agent can do for you. Of all the agents we have worked with in the past we found Steven Golden to be the very best and the standard by which all the others are compared. He was friendly, diligent, knowledgeable, considerate, and tirelessly worked for us to initially buy our home in Carlsbad and then years later helped us again sell our home for top market price. He maintained constant communication with us throughout the home purchase and sale process, escrow period, and even after the purchase and sale. He still stays in contact with us and we feel very blessed to have had him as our realtor. We believe there is no substitute for knowing and excelling in your business and Steven knows the California realty business better than anyone. Try him out - you'll be so very glad you did!!

If I could give Steven a billion stars, I would, because he deserves the highest level of praise. Throughout the process of buying a home, I encountered so many different people, including our real estate agent, investors, contractors, appraisers, home inspectors, bankers, mortgage loan officers, and escrow agents. Without a doubt, our real estate agent played the most important role of all, and I couldn't be more grateful it was Steven. He was like the conductor of a beautiful and complex symphony, successfully coordinating the actions of various people to make our dream a reality. At different points in the process he was our advocate, analyst, consultant, confidante, marketer, negotiator, and business manager, and in the end he became our trusted friend and chosen family. Steven has so many wonderful qualities that make him an exceptional real estate agent and human being. First and foremost, he is extremely experienced and knowledgeable. Not only was he up-to-date on the latest topics and trends in real estate, but he also had invaluable insight about the specific community we were interested in. He values honesty and integrity, which are guiding principles in his life and work, and he expects others to adhere to the same standard. He has an interest in houses and architecture, and his background as a contractor allows him to survey and evaluate with specialized knowledge—on many occasions, I was incredibly impressed with his keen attention to detail. He has developed an incredible network of connections over the years, and can draw upon various resources for support if unique needs arise. He is also responsive, reliable, tenacious, innovative, a critical thinker, and a creative problem-solver. And last, but probably most important, Steven is authentic, genuine, and humble. He carries himself with a level of emotional-intelligence and self awareness that simply says, "I am the real deal." I trusted Steven immediately, and knew whole-heartedly that he would always act with my best interest in mind. To me Steven has set the standard for what makes a truly exceptional real estate agent!

Wow, you will never find a better Listing/Selling agent than Steven Golden. Steven is beyond professional. THANKS STEVEN.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Steve for several years and have used him both as a buyer’s agent as well as a listing agent. In my experience, Steve goes above and beyond in every way to ensure that all avenues are explored in order to get his clients the best price when selling or purchasing their home. His knowledge in the real estate industry as well as his expertise with creative financing and home loan options is nothing short of amazing. Steve used his professional expertise to educate me on a unique home financing plan which allowed me to be able to afford my very first home in 2011. He was also of great support and assistance to me recently with my latest home sale and new home purchase. Again, he worked diligently to find solutions and financing for a bridge loan on a new home that I had purchased prior to my the completion of the sale of my previous home. Steve Golden is a man of great integrity with a strong work ethic, strong communication and follow-through, and superior knowledge of, and connections within, the real estate community. I cannot thank him enough for all his assistance throughout the years! I highly recommend Steve and Gold Coast Real Estate to anyone who is looking for a top-notch broker and agent.

Steve was so knowledgeable and incredibly accommodating during the entire home-buying process. This was our first house purchase, and he walked us through the entire process and offered his expertise along the way. I dragged him everywhere around North County because I was so picky, and he had such a good attitude and was so supportive throughout. It is hard enough navigating a post-covid home buying adventure, and he made it so easy! We are so happy we went with Gold Coast Real Estate and would recommend them to anyone!

Steven went above and beyond to sell our house. He was very responsive to our questions, and his experience greatly contributed to the successful sale of our home.

Wow, you will never find a better listing/selling agent than Steven Golden. Not only did he help us to find a house when we first moved to California, but he also helped us to sell the same house at a later date. Steven is beyond professional. He makes sure to check all of the boxes, and he will take care of you no matter the challenges. Both of our transactions could not have gone smoother, thanks to the work ethic of Steven. If you want to have the most effortless transaction, he is your Agent. We will forever be thankful for finding Steven to help us with our purchasing and selling. SO THANKFUL TO STEVEN.

Steven Golden and Kyle Webb are truly the dream team for me in buying my first home! They helped me a lot in looking for the perfect place.

They work their hardest to make sure their client’s needs are satisfied. Excellent knowledge of real estate! I love my home. I'm so thankful to Steven and Kyle!

Steven and Kyle work their hardest to make sure that their client’s needs are satisfied. I love my home! Thanks a lot Steven and Kyle!

Steve Golden has been the best Realtor we have ever worked with. He understood what we were looking for and used his extensive real estate experience to help us find our new home. Steve managed to gracefully walk the line between guiding us to something he knew we would like and taking our requirements literally.

Steve did a GREAT job for me, selling my rental place in record time. He was very thoughtful of the tenants who had health issues, and they were very happy with the way he made sure to consider all their needs when showing the place. Steve's follow-through, market knowledge, technical expertise and experience in the field are exemplary, and his processing team is just as great! I won't work with any other Realtor anymore and am recommending him to all my friends and family.

Steve was a dream to work with! He was knowledgeable about all facets of the real estate market and its processes. He showed resilience, trustworthiness, and humor through our 8-month journey, and did a fair amount of handholding too. Plus, he’s a great, fun guy! We’re so glad we worked with him and, yes, we truly found our dream home.

With Steven as our Realtor, it was more like going on an adventurous journey with a friend who happened to be our guide. Steven is a heart-based Realtor. He listened and cared about what was important to us in buying our first home. I would say Steven's top priority is one of connection, heart to heart. He knows this is not only a huge investment but also can be an emotional roller coaster ride. He brought ease, care, and even fun on this journey. Steven is an expert in his field as well as passionate, which is a great combination. Because of Steven's longevity in real estate, he has created many trusted connections in the business. He connected us with a wonderful loan officer and when we found the home we fell in love with and now own, he knew the right person that allowed our offer to be accepted over a higher offer and a cash offer. As we now sit in our new home revisiting the journey to get here, I can honestly say it didn't feel like a homebuying experience. It truly was a delightful journey with a friend. Thank you, Steven.

Steven is the most caring, helpful, and understanding person. It transcends from his personal being to his professional approach within the real estate industry. I highly, highly recommend Steven to be the caregiver of your home manifesting journey!

Steve Golden is very professional and goes that extra step to help you with the closure of your home. He has sold two homes for me and I highly recommend him.

My name is Jeff Phair. I am founder and president of The Phair Company. Over the past 40 years, I have been involved in the planning, development, and sale/purchase of over 6,000 residential units and 1.5 million square feet of commercial properties. You can view my background at www.thephaircompany.com. I am writing this letter of recommendation for realtor Steve Golden. Steve has been providing brokerage services on a complicated multi-million-dollar transaction. The escrow has had many moving parts, requiring the coordination of several business entities and governmental agencies. Steve has done an excellent job of guiding the transaction. I give a positive recommendation to anyone considering a business relationship with Steve. He is very professional.

Steve helped me buy an amazing home and I can't imagine working with any other agent. In every step of the process Steve knocked it out of the park. Finding and viewing listings early? Check. Locking in any paperwork and making it easy for me? Done. The thing that Steve does best in my opinion is price. Buyer or seller, doesn't matter, Steve has years of real estate, construction, and plumbing experience and he will get you to the right price or find a new listing with you, no pressure ever. Also don't forget to ask Steve about his referrals. I have literally saved thousands on everything from home/auto bundles to renovation costs from Steve's excellent referrals- it says a lot about an agent when they surround themselves with quality. I should also mention that Steve helped with the sale of my girlfriend's parents' house and they are very happy as well. We are an aggressive buying environment and you can't afford to leave money on the table. Do yourself a favor and choose Steve. Best decision I've made buying a home :)

FIVE STAR SERVICE! Expect the best from Steven. He helped sell my condo during the pandemic and used his negotiation skills to get me a great price! He continually kept me updated throughout the process from listing to closing. Steven advised on what I needed to do to get my condo ready, and it later proved fruitful when the buyer was wowed. I would definitely use Steven again and highly recommend him as one of San Diego's finest agents!

Steven worked diligently to quickly sell a property that we needed to liquidate due to a family member’s illness. He even got the deal done during the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, a miracle! He regularly provided us with updates, and I’d highly recommend him as an A+ realtor.

"Steve Golden is the man! Period, exclamation point, drop the microphone. I was in a predicament with a sixty day notice from my landlord and Steve totally came to my rescue. Not only was he able to help me find my new home in San Marcos, but his team was able to close escrow in an unheard of amount of time. So many times during the entire process, Steve was able to negotiate on my behalf to make this deal happen and get me concessions that made this dream come true. Steve is genuinely interested in the welfare of his clients and his level of service is off the charts. I am a former realtor myself, and Steve greatly impressed me. I recommend him highly to anyone looking for a realtor in San Diego."

"Yes.we had a great experience with steve as a realtor from the very get go.professional all the way and personal we had a very tight budget to work with and he didn't give up on us. We found the home we were looking for and the transition was smooth as can be. Looking forward on doing this again in the near future with steve golden. Thank you so much for what you have done for us. You truly changed our lives. I wish that all realtors were like you. Look up this man if you are serious on byeing a home .it will be the best thing you ever did regarding the purchase of your home."
