Steven Galindo
Estates agentAstute at navigating the complexities of every type of real estate transaction, Steven Galindo is a reliable resource from start to finish—and especially during negotiations, when he taps into his more than 25 years of experience to get the most favorable outcome for his clients. A member of The Agency’s Pasadena office, Steven is equipped with in-depth community and market knowledge as well as a strong professional network, all of which help him achieve his clients’ real estate goals.
In addition to his own achievements and sterling reputation throughout the San Gabriel Valley and Northeastern L.A., Steven is continually guided by the advice he received from his grandfather, a real estate broker with more than 30 years of experience. “My grandfather sold properties to generations of families—they came back to him repeatedly because they knew he looked out for their best interest. He treated clients like friends and family members. When I started my career in real estate, he sat me down and gave me the best career advice any real estate professional can ever get. He said ‘Take the time to listen to people, look out for their best interest above your own and earn their trust.’”
“I love helping people with their home-related needs,” says Steven. “Home is where family and friends get together. That’s why I believe home is not a place, it’s a feeling.”
A self-described “foodie,” Steven enjoys exploring all the diverse culinary delights Southern California has to offer and recommending restaurants to my friends and family.

Steven Galindo has been in real estate for some time. I utilized his services to sell my personal home and my parent's home. Both transactions were completed on time and with no disruption whatsoever. Additionally, he found my current residence after countless emails, property listings and open houses. Steven has made himself available to provide his expert opinion on other properties I own and others I have inquired about. He is not concerned about whether or not he is going to be the listing or purchasing agent. He is just concerned about providing me information so I can make a sound decision. I highly recommend his real estate services.
Yvette Cordero
I have had the pleasure of working with Steven on several transactions over the last year and it's great work with such a professional and responsive agent.
The escrow process can be very stressful for a buyer or seller and it's always nice to work with agents that take such care.
Kristen Hartwick
"A real estate transaction is said to be one of the stressful experiences in a person’s life. Thanks to you the stress level was dialed down by 50%."
Louise and Randall Hendon
For almost 10 years I've known Steven as a friend, a confidant, a mentor, and a realtor. I can honestly say that I would be hard -pressed to find a better example of such a well-rounded support person.
Steve helped me with the short-sale of my family home. He knew it was difficult for me and was there when I was "all for moving on", as well as the "OMG! What am I doing?" phase. At every step of the way, his main concern was me and how I was feeling. He was ready to pull the plug at any time. My well-being came first to him. I would highly recommend Steven.
Steve will always put your needs first, and will always treat you with kindness and honesty. Steve is a gem!
Sonia Chernobieff
"If you're looking for a realtor that truly has your best interest in mind then Steve is the perfect agent for you. One of the biggest things that sets him apart from the myriad of realtors you can probably choose from is that he is empathetic and absolutely a professional. He actually listens to you and will guide you to success rather than pushing you into making regrettable decisions. On the flip side, he is great at negotiating and having a firm stance for his client's interests while trying to create a win win situation for all."
Gina Lee Wong
I am pleased to write a positive review of Steven Galindo's service as representing me on the sale of my condo. Steven handled my transaction from beginning to end with professionalism and aplomb. He took the time in the beginning to listen to what my needs and concerns were and then address them. I felt confident that my property was in good hands with him and John Aaroe Group. He did a great job of marketing my property to potential buyers so that offers came in quickly. His communication via phone and email were prompt and responsive. As noted by another reviewer, Steven is calm and cool and was able to handle some of my more anxious moments. I highly recommend Steven!
Richard Youngblood
Yes, this emotional and stressful event was thankfully handled by this professional. Mr. Galindo understood the Pasadena Market and priced the property properly and had multiple offers within the first 30 days. Moreover, with his experience he guided me on how to show the property, and although it was a great deal of work to prepare I am grateful he helped me prepare for and execute all the details one goes through when selling your biggest asset. I am so pleased I met Mr. Galindo, I will always be grateful of his help and patience, and multiple questions I had which he responded promptly. I am looking forward to doing more business with this realtor in the future and would highly recommend his services.
Steve Robinson
Steve was an incredibly valuable asset when it came time to finding a new home. As I was relatively new to the housing market in the LA area, I relied heavily on Steve's vast knowledge of the market to eventually help me make a fully informed decision.
Needless to say, it was his expertise, honesty, and patience throughout the entire process that led me to find exactly what I was looking for.

He is so patient and his knowledge helped us so much throughout the process!! He does everything he can to make your experience easy & stress free.

Kathy Dominguez
My wife and I used Steven's expertise twice. About 7 years ago we purchased a home in the Los Feliz area. It was potentially a difficult purchase and Steven made the process so smooth. His knowledge, professionalism and genuine passion for real estate is something any potential buyer/seller would need in an agent. We kept In touch with Steven because he was not only a great agent but a decent person you can trust. Recently we used Steven to purchase a new home and again Steven brought his charm, magic and expertise to getting us our dream home. Steven is an agent that anyone would be glad to have on their side during the difficult process of purchasing a home. Hands down highly recommended.
Julio Cabral
On a scale of 1-10, Steven is an 11. We are very grateful to have been introduced to Steven while touring an open house. He was referred to us by the listing agent. Steven was not the first agent we hired to help us buy our current home. We originally used the same agent we used to buy and sell our first home. Our previous agent dropped the ball on several occasions during our home search and after 12 months we still did not have any accepted offers. We met Steven in the beginning of November and had an accepted offer by the beginning of December. It was that quick. There is no question that he is the top of the line when it comes to real estate negotiations. Chances are if you do not get what you want while working with Steven, it is because it is your decision, not because he couldn't make it happen. If you want a leg up on the competition, do not hesitate to hire Steven Galindo.
Thanks Steven!
Jennifer Baker
I give Steven Galindo my highest recommendation. My wife and I were looking for realtor who is an expert in the Northeast Los Angeles area and Steven surely is. I found Steven on Twitter (@StevenGalindo) and was impressed by his knowledgeable tweets about NELA and real estate in general. I reached out to him and told him we were not ready to look for a home yet, but would be soon. Steven was very patient with us leading up to the search for our home and during it as well. What I liked most about working with him was his patience during the search and his trustworthiness. I knew he had out best interests at heart and wanted to find us the right home for the best deal possible. We ended up buying in El Sereno and could not imagine ourselves anywhere else. If you are looking to buy or sell give Steven a call right away.
Brian Fritch
We can heartily recommend Steven. He is a very experienced, consummate real estate professional and an honest, trustworthy, intelligent, articulate and very interesting person with wide knowledge of architecture, history etc. Steven has extensive knowledge of every part of Pasadena (and beyond) and is very passionate about this elegant city. Steven's demeanor and personality is what we like most about him: he is quietly-spoken, a good listener, extremely respectful and not all all "pushy". We were extremely picky clients and Steven never lost his patience or energy during our long, seemingly endless search for the right property.
Lauren Witz
My husband and I bought our first and existing home from Steven. We are going on our 19th year of living in the home and have created some beautiful memories here. My in laws recently sold their home and I recommended Steven especially because I wanted my in laws to have a good experience. Their house sold in 3 weeks after being listed on the market. Initially Steven gave us his best estimate on how long house would sell. He hit it right on the nail. Steven knows his industry and is trustworthy and such an expert in real estate. We couldn't be happier with both of our experiences. Thank you Steven for such integrity.
Suzy Tanasi
I was fortunate enough to have Steve as my realtor when I purchased my first home. He took a very long and tedious process and helped me every step of the way. He is honest and knowledgable about real estate, and is two steps ahead of everyone else. I have referred multiple families to Steve to navigate the home buying process and they have all thanked me as Steve is an amazing realtor. He has a high level of integrity and is very sincere because he loves his job and he loves real estate. He has over 25 years of experience and it shows. He continues to be one of my closest friends and dear to my family. Buying a home is the most important purchase you will ever make, and because of that, it's important to have the best realtor helping you and that's Steven Galindo.

I needed an experienced, real estate professional to sell a challenging fixer upper, the family home. Steve Galindo is one of those real estate professionals. He is trustworthy, experienced, knowledgeable, and skillful. He understands the real estate market and sales and marketing of your property and he got full exposure on mine. I trusted him with his strategy and it worked out really well to get fair market value or what I believe, above. Selling or buying a home can be really stressful but Steve Galindo is cool under fire. He's a great negotiator on your behalf and his experience in the market shows as he has done this many times over many years. You would be lucky to have him represent you in the real estate market, if he has the time and is not already filled with other clients. I highly recommend him and he is worthy of your investment.
