"When I first moved to Cranford a few years ago, I met Steve through the Jaycees, an organization that specializes in volunteer work and fundraiser events. From day one, we always had a good rapport and I'd often chat with him at meetings, partys and other Jaycee related functions. One day, a chance encounter would lead me to run into him at an open house event. I was a little surprised at first to see him there but then I remembered that he just recently received his real estate license. Almost immediately we decided to go with him as our official realtor. His experience in real estate owning multiple properties along with his assertiveness and reliability was enough of a reason to work with him. His guidance through the entire process was very helpful and he presented every detail that went into buying a house with full transparency. There is no doubt in my mind that Steve is the ideal person to work with when looking for a home. I highly reccomend him!"

  -Eric, Friend

"A friend put me into contact with Steve because I had mentioned I wanted to begin searching for a home. Even though I am out of state Steve was willing to spend a significant amount of time educating me on the home buying process. Together we looked at multiple properties and he contextualized what homes would be in my range of affordability. As we spoke he ran numbers (going through examples of how the monthly principle, interest, etc. shift at different down payment amounts and mortgage interest rates) and helped me get a better understanding of how I might be able to enter the market. Steve genuinely seemed to be excited to help me and has given me more confidence to move forward. If you are at any stage of the home buying process I would absolutely recommend contacting Steve. He was easy to talk to, really cares, and his passion shows!"

"Steve helped me find an apartment for rental when I was looking to move to Millburn. His deep knowledge of real estate and passion to help clients left me very impressed. Over the years, Steve has also assisted me with questions that I’ve had about landlord-tenant relationships, and has guided me in the right direction. Now that I’m looking to buy a house, Steve is again the go-to person for me. His positive, can-do attitude is just cherry on top – I whole heartedly and without any reservations recommend Steve for your real estate needs."

  -Amit Virmani, Client

"I would highly recommend Steve to anyone looking to list their house for sale. He went above and beyond for us.

Thank you again!"

He also had contacts and references for every phase of the home buying process from home inspection to legal services."

  -Benjamin Gardner, Client

"As young professionals just graduated from school and starting our careers on the East coast, we were a bit hesitant on buying our single-family homes, especially during this special pandemic time. And as first time home buyers (what is even worse is our whole family do not have home purchasing experiences in US), we have always heard about bad experiences with irresponsible realtors. But fortunately, we met this gentleman, Mr. Steve Oliveira, at an open house. He is always willing to spend a lot of time with first-time home buyers, answer our questions with the fastest and most professional response you would ever imagine. He always makes sure that his client has the top priority and never forces or induces us to make some decisions that may make us regret later. WIth his help, we manage to find a house that fits both our requirements and our budget. It has been great working with this gentleman and I wish we can work together in the forseeable future. -- Your friends Josh and Huiran"

  -Josh Yan, Other

"After more than a decade of renting and interest rates at an all-time low, I decided to take the plunge and buy a home. Steve was recommended to me by a friend and I consider that a life-altering recommendation. Knowledgeable, not pushy with me but on point for finding what I needed, could afford and especially what I wanted. That is not an easy task on today’s seller’s market. He was additionally there for every step of the way and became my advocate even when his job was technically over. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND him. "

  -Anne Marie Calzolari , Client

"As first-time home buyers, we had a great experience working with Steve! He helped us navigate through the entire process by always being available to answer any and all questions, advocate for us when needed, and give recommendations. We couldn't have asked for a better realtor!"

"Steve was hands down the best Realtor I have ever had. His knowledge of the area and the current market made our purchase so easy. I’d recommend him over and over again. If you want someone who knows what he’s doing, knows how to speak to people, and knows how to make things so easy during such a stressful time... he’s your man! "

  -Nick, Client

"As a first time home buyer, the process can be overwhelming and scary especially when looking for a multi-family home like I was. From the minute I was introduced to Steve, my mind was put at ease and every question I had was answered. Unlike some other realtors that just want the sale, it was clear Steve wanted me to first and foremost, be happy with my decision. At times when frustrations got the best of me, he reminded me that the process can be stressful and always kept a positive outlook. It was important for me to have someone who cared about the home I was going to purchase as much as I cared. From loan approvals to the final closing, Steve and I were in contact everyday, even down to the most trivial detail. I knew I could call with any question or concern and I would get an answer or I would get the name of the person who could answer my question. Having a relator like Steve by my side made the process seamless and he will be my first call on my next purchase. "

"Having never sold a house before, we are beyond grateful a realtor who is so in touch with the neighborhood as well as a consummate professional like Steve Oliveira came into our lives. His communication was constantly keeping us up to speed on everything, he guided us in areas we knew nothing about; he recommended a top-notch contractor and attorney, and made sure the process was smooth and seamless. He went the extra hundred miles as well - he was there to monitor progress and even put his own elbow grease into certain aspects I would have never guessed a realtor would do. When it came time for inspections and closing, he was there 100%. We would highly recommend Steve Oliveira as a realtor - he is a one-of-a-kind rare professional. whose knowledge of the market, the buying/selling process as well as the personal touches you rarely encounter make a stressful situation absolutely seamless and calm."

Steve is always one call away. Can’t get any better than that. Highly recommended!"

  -Christina, Client

"Highly, highly recommend!! If you are looking for an honest, knowledgeable, intelligent real estate agent look no further. Steve was our landlord for a property he rented to us, and right from the start we knew we were in good hands. He went above and beyond in all areas. We would have stayed in the apartment forever but with our growing family it was time to buy a home of our own, which Steve helped us through and made the process smooth and stress-free. His knowledge about the area and surrounding towns is unmatched. He knew what we were looking for and found the perfect home for us. I truly believe that finding someone with such passion in what they do and such genuine care in their clients is crucial when making such a big purchase, and Steve was that and more. If you are looking for a realtor, call Steve today - you won’t be disappointed! "

I value his years of experience as a successful financier, an investor, and a landlord. With Steve as your agent, you will have someone who values open communication and is able to give honest guidance based on his own experiences. Personally, he was a great asset throughout the home buying process navigated us with patience and diligence to ensure all any challenges were overcome. Another strength Steve brings to the table is his strong personal ties to the people and businesses in the community. He has referred me to many professionals such as contractors, loan officers and mechanics. Real estate is Steve's calling and helping others is his passion.

Real estate is Steve's passion and it really shows."

  -Joseph P Minitelli, Client

"My wife and I were referred to Steve in early 2023 when we began looking for our first home. Steve was incredibly kind, authentic, and patient with us. I remember him walking us through our first showing, taking us carefully room-by-room to explain the things we should be paying attention to, and identifying red flags that we would never have known to look for. It was clear during that first visit that Steve saw his professional goal as being to educate and inform his clients – not simply to push us into making a hasty purchase. Throughout the process Steve consistently had our best interests at heart, and when we finally found the house that we loved, Steve worked tirelessly in a fiercely competitive market to successfully get us to closing. If you’re a first-time buyer who, like we were, is a little bit intimidated or overwhelmed, please reach out to Steve. In a chaotic market where it’s very easy to be taken advantage of, Steve is truly deserving of your time and your trust."

You’ll always be thankful for giving you the opportunity to do business with Steve and mainly to have the chance to meet a great and professional individual like him"
