Jeff Stearman – Keller Williams OC Coastal Realty

Jeff Stearman and his staff was personable and knowledgeable. They were always available to answer any questions. They made purchasing a house less stressful. :)

My first review of Jeff got deleted by Unilocal for some unknown bs reason which shows that all comments good or bad should be taken with a grain of salt because they ( Unilocal) can alter what gets posted and what doesn’t. Now for my review, which will probably get deleted again.
I worked directly with Jeff, sat in his office, looked at him in the face when buying a home in San Clemente. Everything the first review of him says I agree with. Not trustworthy, does not care about you, only his commission. Fake niceness about him and can very easily get mad when you do not go along with what he wants. Overly cocky little man. Has a reputation with the other realtors in the area for being a pain in the butt.

Jeff and his team are very knowledgable and professional. Jeff is an expert in his market and gets the Job done!

Jeff Stearman and his team are amazing! Jeff and Geralyn found a wonderful house for me years ago. More recently they helped my husband and I buy a house for my mother, while advising us on how to sell her house in another state. Then, when my mother had to move to assisted living, they helped us find renters for her house, which was so important to help pay for her care! All of these transactions were so foreign to us! Jeff and Geralyn were there at every step and were so patient with ALL of our questions! I don’t know what we would have done without them! I can’t thank them enough!

Jeff and his team were proactive, professional and found the buyer, helped negotiate and close the deal. I am very happy and know that the property would have still been for sale if it had not been for Jeff and his team. Thank you

Jeff and his team was very supportive and helpful while selling our home. He communicated well and passed on information when he had it. He also helped us with a few problems that arose and went out of his way to fix them. We would highly recommend Jeff and his team to anyone selling or buying a home in San Clemente. Though we did not buy a home locally we can only assume that buyers would have the same experience with them.

Jeff and his team are great! We used Jeff for the sale and purchase of our home. Jeff and Geralyn were helpful every step of the way! I highly recommend Jeff’s team.

Jeff Stearman and his team are the best of the best! We found the house of our dreams and we met with Jeff late that evening to write out proposal, our offer was accepted the next day and escrow was closed, keys in hand on the 30^th day. :-) (No joke!) Jeff and his team were there every step of the way and made this process the easiest thing I’ve done in 53 years. And even since then, he has called to check in with my husband and myself to make sure everything is still going well. He definitely cared about my home and my satisfaction and I will definitely use his team again!

Jeff Stearman and his team are amazing. We tried a different realty team before we found Jeff and they were a nightmare. Someone from the Stearman team was always available for any questions and kept us completely updated through every step of Escrow. Our other husband and wife team blew it on 2 escrows. Jeff was the answer to all our problems. I give him the highest recommendation possible.

I cannot vouch for other client experiences, but my experience with Jeff Stearman and his service for the sale of my home was overall very positive. My transaction was challenging from the beginning, but he and Geralyn kept me informed every step of the way. They were always professional and courteous in their dealings with me. I really felt that they were working on my behalf. As with any other important transaction, do your homework and get to know the people you plan to do business with. I will work with Jeff again for real estate services.

Jeff Stearman is a monstrous weasel. Our agent, who works for him had us sit down with him to respond to a counter-​offer because he is supposed to be good at «getting deals to happen». Basically that means that he turns all of his sales evil on getting you to agree to whatever he thinks will make the sales happen so he can get his commission. He does a lot of fake smiles, laughing, and pretending to be your friend, but then gets kind of angry and shouty whenever you veer off the course he’s trying to lead you on. He said several things that ended up being blatantly false. He advised a path that may or may not have led to us having to pay taxes on a $ 720,000 gift, laughing it off with «well I’m not a CPA». (Translation: Whether or not you get hit with crippling tax consequences by following my advice, I’ll already have my commission.)
The whole experience was utterly insulting and manipulative. We made the counter offer that he had shouted at us for suggesting. Rather than causing the seller to never trust us again, as Jeff had insisted, the seller responded positively and we eventually got the house. Jeff also told us that it takes more than two days to get pre-​approved for a loan, also wrong. I got the strong impression that Jeff places little value in honesty, and will say whatever he thinks will make the sale happen.
I waited for a long time after the sale was completed before writing this review, since we wouldn’t want him to scuttle our house purchase, and every one of his actions suggests a complete lack of ethics.
Do what you can to avoid working with him and doubt the integrity of anyone who would suggest that you work with him.
