Steve Cooper — Broker Associate, CLHMS-certified luxury specialist, and one of La Costa’s most trusted REALTOR®s — has hand-selected A SMART MOVE as the exclusive moving partner he trusts with his clients. From La Costa estates to Pacific Beach homes, Steve delivers top dollar and a seamless experience every time.
Steve Cooper is the go-to real estate professional in La Costa, Carlsbad, Encinitas, Rancho Santa Fe, and Del Mar. As a Broker Associate with the Dean Aguilar Group at Real Broker, Steve brings 21 years of deep market expertise, a Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist (CLHMS) designation, and a track record that spans $30 million in closed sales across some of San Diego’s most desirable neighborhoods.
Steve is renowned for two things: helping sellers get top dollar — with a proven pre-listing marketing process that generates market feedback before a home goes live — and helping buyers get their offers accepted in their first or second try, even in the most competitive markets in history. Modern negotiation tactics, relentless preparation, and a client satisfaction-first philosophy are at the core of everything he does.
A graduate of the University of Akron, Steve’s real estate experience spans California, Illinois, and Washington D.C., giving him a rare multi-market perspective that he brings to every transaction. He’s a proud La Costa resident, father to Atticus and Charley Grace at La Costa Meadows Elementary, and deeply embedded in the community he serves.
His referral to A SMART MOVE reflects the standard he holds every vendor to: exceptional service, clear communication, and a genuine commitment to making every client’s experience feel seamless from first showing to final box placed.
From La Costa luxury estates to Little Italy high-rises and Del Mar coastal homes, Steve’s confirmed transactions reflect the full range of San Diego’s most coveted real estate — with an average sale price of $1.5M and a top sale of $2.96M.
