Experience, without the theater

Contractor by trade. Engineer by training. Broker by license.

Steve Thielsen is a Petaluma-based Broker Associate with Century 21 Epic, licensed since 2007 and practicing full time in Sonoma and Marin counties ever since.

Before real estate, Steve worked in construction and earned a B.S. in electrical engineering. That background shows up in the work: he reads a property’s structure, systems, and condition firsthand, and he approaches pricing, preparation, and disclosure with an engineer’s discipline rather than a sales script.

In 2016 he earned his broker license—a step beyond the salesperson license most agents hold—and he has built a practice on repeat clients and referrals: sellers of older homes and country property, buyers navigating wells, septic systems, and easements, families handling trust and estate sales, and investors working through 1031 exchanges.

Steve is a true straight shooter with a deep understanding of the local market, and his guidance on pricing was spot-on. He was always accessible, consistently kept us informed throughout the entire process, and made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and straightforward. We trusted his advice every step of the way.

Brooks & Alexis Seller · Santa Rosa · December 2025

Steve went above and beyond for us during an off-market transaction that was far from straightforward. The negotiations were complicated, but they stayed patient, proactive, and solution-focused throughout the entire process. We always felt informed and supported, and their ability to manage sensitive details and advocate for us was invaluable.

Kyle & Joce Muelrath Buyer · Petaluma · January 2026

We have used Steve 7 times now, we absolutely love and trust him. We recommend using him to all of our friends and family because of how great he is. This last transaction we had with him was a difficult one due to the position we were in; he got us over all the obstacles we were facing and now we have our dream home.

Thomas Harris & Sarah Hallas Repeat clients · Santa Rosa · 2016

An older rural property like ours can have many potential issues that need to be identified and assessed. He quickly outlined the steps we’d need to take in advance of the sale and offered a realistic timeline for getting it on the market. After the property was listed he helped us evaluate the offers, choose which to accept, and navigate the sale process through completion.

D.M. O’Shea Seller · Petaluma · August 2024

He approached the sellers’ realtor before the home even hit the open market, which resulted in the sellers accepting our offer. His background in engineering allowed him to point out what would appear to be small flaws to the common eye, but would in fact turn out to create huge issues for us as buyers down the line. We feel that we owe finding our “forever home” to him.

Aly & Adam Buyer · Santa Rosa · November 2020

Being that it’s kind of a country property there were some things I’d never dealt with before—100 year old water rights agreements, private road maintenance agreements, well water and septic. He knew all about the things that are common for country properties, and did a lot of research on the old permits and agreements, to make sure I really knew what I was getting into.

Dustin Buyer · Penngrove · June 2019

It’s just crazy how responsive and communicative he is. There were even times when he answered his phone while out in the country in rubber boots inspecting ranch property, and while up on top of his own house working on his roof! Contact Steve — you will be so happy you did.

Kelly Guns Seller · Petaluma · February 2019

If you’re selling a home in a trust, Steve Thielsen is the broker. Steve has the knowledge and experience with estate sales to spot potential roadblocks and relay possible solutions. During escrow Steve kept us informed and updated on not just our deliverables but the buyers too.

Leimominani Bailey Trust sale · August 2023

From our first conversation to closing, Steve was incredibly helpful, communicative, and demonstrated exceptional knowledge of the local market. He made an effort to show us a wide variety of properties within our price range which helped us clarify exactly what we were looking for. We ended up buying a fantastic home in a neighborhood we didn’t think we’d be able to afford.

Taylor & Nick Cheatham Buyer · Petaluma · September 2025

Steve designed and negotiated the deal in a way that protected my interests and managed every step of the process in a kind and thoughtful manner. I gained valuable lessons from Steve about what great communication, high ethical standards and exceptional service quality really look like. Don’t leave your dreams to chance. Just call Steve Thielsen.
