Steven Dou – Marcus & Millichap

I’ve been house hunting for over a year, and now I can finally say that I am a proud homeowner!
Originally, I used a realtor who was referred by my co-​worker. After a couple of showings, I realized that this realtor didn’t really know what type of house I was looking for. You know your realtor is not on your team when he tries to convince you that the home in a not-​so-​great neighborhood, and also needs a lot repairs seemed like the perfect fit for a single woman. After the 3^rd showing, I decided not to waste each others time and stopped looking all together.
Fast forward several months. I started house hunting with Steven. We searched almost every Sunday for several months. Steven did not rush me through the process at all. Instead, he listened to my needs and effectively helped me get what I was looking for. He helped me focus down my search to 2 cities. He pointed out the good in each house along with the bad. I really felt like he was trying to help me and not trying to sell me.
In the end, we found the right house in a great neighborhood. I have been living in my new house for almost 3 months now. I love it so much. I will definitely be referring friends to Steven in the future.
