My Profile
Steve Cochran is owner of California's premier short sale team, Steve's Team. He began his real estate career 8 years ago working with Century 21. Before getting into real estate Steve worked as a musician. He working for some of country's biggest stars of the time as well as writing for the TV series WKRP in Cincinnati. Working with such notables as Juice Newton and Dolly Parton Steve learned the importance of “a high level of performance in any endeavor you pursue”. While at Century 21, in his first year, he won the prestigious Centurion Award placing him in the top 3% of Century 21 agents nationally. At the beginning of the mortgage crisis he began selling foreclosed properties for many of the larger banks (i.e. Chase, Wells Fargo, Washington Mutual, Deutsche Bank, Bank of New York and many others). The years he spent working with lenders, selling their foreclosed properties, Steve learned a lot about how banks work when dealing with “distress properties”. After doing this for 3 years he decided he would rather work with homeowners before their homes became foreclosures. With the experience he gained working with banks Steve began helping homeowners avoid foreclosure. After negotiating 100s of sales with banks he understands the large and, more importantly, the small things that can make a difference between being foreclosed on or not. Steve now hangs his license with Village Properties Realtors in Santa Barbara helping homeowners throughout the central & southern coastal regions avoid foreclosure.
