Steve Pike - Real Estate Agent

If there’s one thing Steve never wanted from a career in real estate it’s his picture on a bus bench ad. The investing side of real estate has always been something he has been passionate about. Steve knew that he didn’t ever want to be the typical Realtor® sales guy. Fortunately for Steve, there’s no such promotional piece in his future. Since starting his career in 2004, Steve has found success through his passion for learning, a desire to provide the best customer service and sales instincts learned from his father, a successful salesman himself. He took to real estate to learn everything he could about investing in it, not just selling it. Helping people with one of the biggest investments of their life while at the same time helping them toward a better future is extremely inspiring. Steve’s path to real estate was not a straight one. After earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Communications and working in commercial real estate, he a of Master of Business Administration coursework then gained five years of real estate marketing experience at the San Diego Union-Tribune, now the University of San Diego. But a sales career was always in the of his mind. In addition to the influence of his father, Steve had tasted success in a sales job he had as a teen, and the sales awards seemed to come easy. Before Steve launched his real estate career, he took a month-long training course then took more classes and accreditations, earning Short Sale and Foreclosure certification and becoming an Accredited Buyer Representative through the California Associations of Realtors®. Next, he learned about the business of investing how to buy low, negotiate, sell, deal with banks, investment strategies, appraisal, construction and even how much every repair and upgrade costs from a new sink to a full remodel. All of this has combined to help propel Steve into a highly respected place in the San Diego real estate industry. He attributes this to the knowledge and experience he has had, successfully going through the entire sales process himself on many properties. His clients speak highly of Steve’s professionalism and his ability to help them through the entire sales process. Steve also attributes his success to the way he views his role as more of a consultant and not just an agent or broker. Steve’s goal is to buy many more properties with a number of them as long-term rentals. Steve also prides himself in providing excellent customer service, something he expects when he buys properties, too. He doesn’t want to sell a product, he wants to enable a new lifestyle for his clients so that they think of him as their lifetime real estate consultant and have them so happy that they refer all their family and friends to him.
