Stephen did an outstanding job of making a difficult contingency situation work out smoothly. Stephen has a talent for getting offers accepted even in the face of multiple bids. Our last purchase had 14 other offers! He made our sale happen and lined up the money for our purchase. He makes it all seem easy. I have used Stephen's services on numerous sales and purchases. He is highly motivated by challenging situations and I have certainly given him some! He has never let me down and always comes through. He is my realtor...period.

Stephen was a wonderful realtor to work with, he was very knowledgeable about the market and worked dilligently to help me find my perfect home. He answered all my questions and responded quickly.he kept me informed of every detail in the process and worked well with the seller,s agent. Stephen has a lot of good resources for repairs and guided me in the right direction. I would definitely recommend him if you are in the market to buy or sell.

He’s the negotiator you want on your side, the guy who can close the deal and a pleasure to work with during the months yours looking for the perfect home. After working with half a dozen other agents, he’s the one who helped purchase my first home and the agent I went back to for my second.

Stephen is a force of nature, and was instrumental in helping my father and I sell our beloved condo at a very attractive price. He helped us navigate the selling process and could answer any question we threw at him. I'd recommend Stephen's services to anyone!

Stephen was very helpful and made the home buying process very easy and straight forward. He was also very well-versed with the local area and provided excellent advice in the negotiating process, which allowed us to put in a competitive offer for the home. Stephen was very responsive through all avenues of commutation and went above and beyond to make the whole experience as smooth as possible.

Steve was an amazing help in helping us find our dream home. He took me around the area and really helped me get to know it. Once the purchase was completed, he helped connect me to the local resources I needed to begin the renovations. We would highly recommend him.

Stephen was an answer to prayers - literally. When my husband and I learned the ocean front condo we rented would be put up for sale, we knew we needed an agent fast. An hour later I bumped into Stephen. He had just closed another unit in our complex and his buyer was very happy. Within days we were in contract, and 30 days later we closed. Amazing in crazy 2021. Stephen is professional, highly organized, has a great team, and takes great care of his clients. He also knows a lot about BBQ.

Stephen is an outstanding realtor! In an environment where it is difficult to buy a house, he is the guy you want to use. He is knowledgeable, tenacious and always on your side.

Stephen is an amazing agent especially in the current market. I have worked with him on 2 transactions in the last 90 days and he has exceeded my expectations in every way. I know and have worked with numerous other agents in the past and nothing has ever compared to the follow up, strategy, and property negotiation that Stephen provided. If your buying he will get you the best possible price based on the current crazy market. If your selling he will maximize the price and make sure it closes on time. He has a giant arsenal of tools at his disposal and is worth working with.

Stephen has helped us on eight purchases and sales. His superior knowledge of the entire real estate process is one of the reaons we keep coming back to him. The other is his excellent negotial skills...he is relentless in satisfying our needs in either the sale side, or purhcase side. And, finally, his integrity is unmatched.

Stephen is an excellent and professional agent. He went above and beyond to get us a fair price. He is a local agent and knows the area well. He impressed us with his knowledge and timely communication throughout the entire transaction. He put us in our "Dream Home"!!

It was a pleasure working with Stephen. He took me right under his wing. He knew what I was looking for before I even knew it myself! I truly appreciate all his efforts and support. I will be recommending him for years to come :)

Stephen went above and beyond to help my wife and I find a place in our desired neighborhood that fit our needs. He was very professional and we could always see that he was looking out for our best interest every step of the process. If your looking for a place in Port Hueneme, Oxnard, Ventura, or any other surrounding areas he is your best resource by far.

We were selling a second home --this one in Thousand Oaks--while remaining in the San Francisco Bay Area, and Stephen we met Stephen who was recommended by a fine realtor in this area. We were not disappointed. Stephen also had fine people working for him...cleaners, window washers, if needed. Almost immediately after it was listed, we had a serious buyer...and then the covid virus arrived, stocks went down, and the buyer withdrew. Stephen remained our eyes, ears, and hands on the property and sold our home despite the rollercoaster reactions to covid. If you are planning on selling a home, you would be well-pleased with Stephen as your realtor.

Stephen Placial is a five star realtor. He is very knowledgeable in his field. When looking for a realtor, years of experience is a big plus. Almost three decades of experience is impressive. He knows the ups and downs of the trade. But this pandemic tested his expertise. During this COVID 19 global pandemic crisis, he worked diligently to sell our house and successfully so. It was a very stressful time, but he remained professional and calm. His reassuring demeanor is a big comfort to us as a sellers during this unprecedented times. He is highly responsive to any of our queries either text or call. He constantly updated us about the state of our house on the market. More importantly, he has incredible integrity. We highly recommend Stephen to anyone looking to sell their house. He is everything you could ask for in a realtor and more.

Excellent in every aspect of the process. Goes above and beyond to meet the needs of his clients. Extremely knowledgeable of the local area and very responsive and timely in all his communications.

Steve is very professional and I would recommend and use him again. He showed us several properties and allowed us to make a good final decision on the property we purchased.

We have sold 6 properties in the past and Steven has been the easiest to work with and by far the best realtor to date. He worked hard marketing our property and kept us informed every step of the way. My 85 year mother was living with us and basically home bound and Steven was sensitive to her needs during open houses and private showings. He was always available if we had any questions or needed help with anything. I highly recommend him.

Stephen was great to work with. Being a local resident he was very knowledgeable of the local market and current inventory. He helped us price our unit right and was a savvy marketer. The fact that he has ties to the LA area also helped tremendously as our buyers ultimately came from there. He really covered all the bases. His experience and knowledge of the market meant that our unit brought a higher price than previous sales in our complex. Stephen was also great about keeping us up to date on the progress of our escrow. We were comfortable every step of the way. Stephen is our realtor from here on out.

Stephen is the most consummate real-estate agent. From start to finish he is there with you all the way, hiring the requisite people to make your house the most sale-able. He is very reassuring and supportive and I highly recommend him.

We had been looking for 2 years and Steve helped us find the house we were looking for. He made the escrow process go smoothly. I would recommend Steve to any my looking in the area.

Stephen made the experience stress free. He was instrumental with getting the home ready for market. He created a great online presentation - used Zillow and his realty site. We were under contract with a Zillow shopper within 3 days of listing. Settled on a price close to our asking, but gave a fair bit to the buyer. Absolutely would recommend.

Working with the Placial Group was a pleasant and positive experience. I’m accustomed to working with the best of the best; I’m very happy to have been represented by the team. With this team we sold at top dollar, and we bought the next home at a great price. High ethics, honesty and dependability are the key elements we experienced.

You want to sell, You need to look no further. Don’t hesitate, your pocketbook will benefit. Stephen experience, know how, and determination resulted in a quick sale for asking price. He also excelled advertising, open houses every weekend, showing the home and provided great insight to prospective buyers about Ventura and LA Counties housing markets.

Can’t say enough good things about Stephen! Helped successfully navigate a difficult transaction. I feel that he genuinely cared about us and did way more than was required.
