Steve "Stathi" Manos
Dual-Licensed REALTOR® & Mortgage Loan Originator
NMLS# 1723104 | CA DRE# 01702884 | Serving California
Steve Manos — or Stathi, as he's known professionally — is a California native with 20 years of real estate experience and 7 years as a Mortgage Loan Originator. As a dual-licensed REALTOR® and MLO, Steve built his career around one simple promise: constant communication. You'll never be left in the dark about your transaction.
"Constant communication. — Even when there's nothing new to report, you'll hear from me. I'm here to best serve you."
MEET STEVE MANOS
A California native, Steve Manos is a husband, father of two, and proud owner of a wonderfully full house — three dogs and five cats round out the Manos family. When Steve isn't closing deals, you'll find him playing guitar or out on his mountain bike.
Before real estate, Steve built his career in auto sales — a foundation that taught him the value of asking the right questions, listening carefully, and always following up. He brought that mindset into real estate 20 years ago and added his Mortgage Loan Originator license 7 years ago, because he was tired of one thing in particular: poor communication from his referral partners. Too often, his clients were left in the dark about the status of their loans.
So Steve decided to handle both sides himself. As both REALTOR® and Mortgage Loan Originator, he delivers what most clients say matters most to them: constant communication. His promise is simple — you'll hear from him often. Even when there's nothing new to report, he'll call or text just to say, "All good."
That commitment to constant communication is the thread that runs through every transaction Steve handles. He believes the home-buying process should be one where clients are educated, informed, and never left guessing what comes next.
