I'm committed to do the following to earn and keep your business:

Honest, straight-forward and simple answers
You can trust that I'll provide good information based on local expertise and a broad market awareness. You'll get my honest opinion, always with your best interests in mind. And if I don't know the answer to your question, I'll find it for you.

Quick response and availability
Market conditions can change rapidly (even on our casual Coast) and I'm here to help you take advantage of that. I'll always respond to calls, emails and text messages within 24 hours and usually within two hours. If I'm unavailable, I'll find someone from my office to help you.

Stay well-informed
I'm committed to continued education. Real estate is much more than just helping people buy and sell houses - I'll remain well-informed on important market trends and local events so that I can help you make good real estate decisions. I want to be a resource for you and your real estate needs, now and in the future.

Quick, organized escrows
Buying or selling a property is complicated, but I'll make it as simple as possible for you. I work only with escrow agents and coordinators who are top in their field. You can rest assured that you're covered throughout the escrow process and beyond. You'll have all the resources necessary for a smooth transaction.

About Steve Hecht
My family and I have made the Sonoma Coast our long-term home and we love it here. It's a much more relaxed style of living than in the bigger cities, but close enough to them that we have access to all of their amenities. And it's a perfect place to raise our son.

After earning a BS from UC Irvine and an MBA from Pepperdine, I eventually migrated from Southern California to the Bay Area and have nearly 20 years of sales, marketing and business development experience. With my diverse background, it's natural for me to think outside of the box, incorporate creative perspectives into real estate transactions and put my negotiation advantages on your side.

As a Sonoma Coast resident since 2002, as well as a former small business owner, I understand the challenges and benefits of the coastal area from a business perspective. This experience and knowledge has helped me become one of the top agents on the Sonoma Coast with over $37M in transactions and my clients have consistently rated my services with the highest marks since 2003.

I'm a Certified EcoGreen Agent with the mission to provide information about sustainable and healthy home and business environments through conservation of natural resources, improved quality of indoor air and water, and ecologically friendly techniques of building and land use.

I'm also a member of the North Bay Association of Realtors and the Bay Area Real Estate Information Services Inc., a volunteer firefighter and board member of the Valley Ford Fire Department, and am often found volunteering my spare time at events or fundraisers through the area.
