ABOUT STEVE COOPER

La Costa’s Most Trusted Luxury Broker Associate · 21 Years · CLHMS Certified

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.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY ABOUT STEVE

Real Reviews. Real San Diego Moves.

Over 1,000 five-star reviews across Google and Yelp. Here's what a few clients had to say.

★★★★★
“Steve is by far the best realtor we’ve ever worked with and it’s not even close. His pre-listing marketing process was extremely effective, producing 12 offers after just 5 days on the market. We ended up accepting an offer $100K over asking price. Steve is extremely knowledgeable, detail-oriented and genuinely cares about his clients’ needs. We will not only be losing an exceptional realtor, but also a close friend.”
— Verified Seller · San Diego
Zillow Review
★★★★★
“Steven Cooper was absolutely fantastic. He never tried to pressure me to buy anything. He also did not try to ‘upsell’ me, and actually encouraged me to buy at the lower end of my range. Because I was purchasing from out of town, he went to check out houses when I wasn’t around. Once I found the right home, he handled the inspections and ensured ALL the details were taken care of.”
— Verified Buyer · La Jolla Alta, San Diego
Zillow Review
★★★★★
“My fiancé and I met Steven at an open house. We both immediately took to his low-key and professional demeanor. Steven sold my home in 12 days while shielding and guiding me through a very difficult buyer’s agent situation. After the sale, Steven helped us find our dream home in an area where homes rarely go up for sale, and he helped us avoid a bidding war. You will not find a more honest and knowledgeable agent either buying or selling — PERIOD!”

A Partnership Built on Standards

Why Steve Chose A SMART MOVE

Steve Cooper has spent 29+ years building his reputation on one principle: his clients deserve the absolute best. That same standard governs every vendor, every referral, and every partnership — including his mover of choice.

🌎

Whether you're moving across La Jolla, relocating to another state, or transitioning internationally, A SMART MOVE handles it — with the same seamless coordination no matter the distance.
📦
Professional Packing Services
Full-service packing by trained professionals who treat every item — art, heirlooms, custom furniture — with precision and care. Nothing is an afterthought.
🏠
Storage Solutions
Need flexibility between closing dates? A SMART MOVE offers secure, climate-controlled storage so your timeline is never held hostage by the calendar.
Vetted, W-2 Professional Crews
No subcontractors, no surprises. Every crew member is a trained A SMART MOVE employee — background-checked, uniformed, and accountable from start to finish.
🤝
Values That Align
Steve partners with businesses that put clients first. A SMART MOVE's commitment to honesty, responsiveness, and delivering on their promise is why they've earned a permanent place on Steve's approved vendor list.
"

I only refer vendors I would use myself. A SMART MOVE has earned that trust — move after move, client after client. They show up, they communicate, and they never cut corners. That’s the standard.

Common Questions

Got Questions?

Here's what Steve Cooper's clients typically ask before booking their move.

How do I get Steve's Moving Guide and Vendor List?

Both are included when you submit the form on this page. Your coordinator will send Steve's co-branded Moving Guide and Approved Vendor List shortly after you submit — at no cost, no strings attached.

How is the VIP pricing applied?

Because you're on Steve's dedicated partner page, the LOTZOF-VIP code is automatically identified and applied. No coupon codes to type, no back-and-forth — your coordinator confirms pricing in your agreement.

What if my closing date changes?

We're built for it. Your coordinator stays in sync with your escrow timeline and can flex your move date at no charge as availability allows. Book early to lock in the best slots.

Are your movers employees or contractors?

Every crew member is a W-2 employee — never a day-labor hire or contractor. All pass comprehensive background checks, substance screening, and identity verification. This is one of the reasons Steve chose to partner with us.

Do you handle luxury and high-value items?

Yes. We regularly handle custom furniture, fine art, antiques, wine collections, and full estate-level moves across La Jolla, Del Mar, and Rancho Santa Fe. Steve's clients expect nothing less — and neither do we.

Do you offer packing services?

Absolutely — full-service, partial, and white-glove packout. Many of Steve's clients opt for full packing so they can focus on the closing process. Mention your interest in the form and we'll include it in your agreement.
