Working with Steve and Eric and their team was so easy and we trusted them which makes all the difference in the world.  Highly recommend them.  They were amenable to us developing our own strategy and working with two lawyers isn’t always easy!!

Cathey C.

I had a wonderful experience working with the Caniglia Group for the purchase of my first home! Steve listened carefully to what type of living space I wanted and delivered a great set of options to choose from. His expertise in managing the buying process made the experience less stressful. I would highly recommend him if you are looking for a new home in the Phoenix metro area.

Erik and Christian did a fantastic job during my homebuying process. As a first-time homebuyer, I was pretty nervous and confused by a lot of the procedures, timelines, and paperwork. They spent a lot of time helping me figure out what I actually wanted, explaining the details of the process, and answering my questions. Their flexibility was a huge plus in things like working around my schedule to set up tours last minute or even remotely made it feel like they were really working for me, and even when we ran into roadblocks in the plan, Erik and Christian put in a ton of time and energy to help find a solution or alternative arrangement that both protected me and that I was comfortable with. Having a ton of local knowledge and connections is a huge bonus as well, helping me find trustworthy and affordable experts to follow up on things like additional inspection or repair work. On top of that, both Erik and Christian are friendly and professional which made them a breeze to work with. I’d highly recommend both Erik and Christian and, by extension, the entire Caniglia Group team, who also helped me out along the road when it came to timing, negotiation, and paperwork.

After 11 months, late night texts, shifting timelines, and more curveballs than we expected, we finally crossed the finish line.

We truly could not have done this without **Steve Caniglia and his team**.

From the start, Steve carried more than the logistics. He carried the emotional weight of the process too. He stayed steady when things felt uncertain, patient when plans changed, and fully committed to helping us find the right home, not just any home.

What stood out most wasn’t only Steve’s expertise, though that’s clearly there. It was the care. Steve listened. Steve advocated. Steve kept us moving forward during moments when it would have been easy to stall or walk away.

If you’re looking for a team that will genuinely be in your corner and guide you through every step with clarity and care, **Steve Caniglia and his team** are exactly that.

We’re deeply grateful.

Steve, Erik, and Gwen are a fabulous team, and I would highly recommend them! The sales process can be daunting and it went completely smooth, from paperwork, showings, to the closing. Thanks for everything!

RY C

One of the best home buying/selling experiences I have ever had. Steve, and the whole Caniglia team, went above and beyond the call of duty to help get our house prepped and sold. I could not be more happier with the experience!

Phil Gyori

Erik is awesome!!! Worked very hard to find us houses that met our criteria and was instrumental in us getting the bid accepted. Ask him questions and get his insight as he was spot on every step of the process. Fantastic job!!!

Mark Duckworth

Erik Jensen was honestly the best realtor I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with. He was recommended to me by a lifelong childhood friend since I no longer lived in AZ. He helped me and my sister to get my father’s house ready to sell before we even were in the state or signed him as our realtor. That was above and beyond!! He knew every contact we needed for preparation. He got the house listed and closed within days!!! Seem less ! His team, especially Gwen was also immensely helpful with everything. Definitely need to give them more than a 5 star review!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💥

Nancy Hnizdil

Our family was blessed to have EriK handle the sale of our mother’s house. Communication was very good and mom treated with respect. Gwen did a great job on all the documents. Thank you.

Bart Cox

We’ve bought and sold countless properties over the years. The Caniglia Group is by far the best team we’ve ever work with. They were professional, knowledgeable and proficient. We very much appreciate their great attention and care to details when it came to selling our home.

Kelly Smith

I’d like to express my utmost satisfaction with The Caniglia Group. Over the years, I completed four transactions with them and each time felt like their only client, even though none of the sales and purchases were high-end. I can’t speak highly enough of Erik, my main contact, who was responsive, personable, professional, and supportive. But, the rest of the team including Steve, Gwen, and Samantha were equally impressive. From the great listing photography to their top-notch communication skills, they took care of every detail and always made the dealings as painless as possible. I can’t thank them enough for their help and encouragement. If you’re in need of a real estate group, I highly recommend these folks.

Thanks again, guys–Bill K

There are not enough positive words to describe our experience in working with The Caniglia Group. Erik and his team created a plan and executed it to perfection. The Caniglia Group was organized, thorough, professional, and most of all, friendly. I would absolutely recommend Erik to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home. We cannot thank The Caniglia Group enough — they were amazing!

Joshua Belkin

Five+ stars to Erik, Gwen and Steve at The Caniglia Group for their professionalism and tireless work (and sense of humor) in getting our home sold. Communicative, coordinated, and detail-oriented, this triumvirate exemplifies “team,” giving us as clients 3x the attention and support—someone was ALWAYS available and quick to respond to our questions and needs. Because we’d already left the state, they went above-and-beyond in helping us manage the home long distance, always exuding positivity and a “service first” attitude. From having bought and sold multiple homes in our lives, we’ve learned that Erik, Gwen and Steve are as good as it gets in home buying and selling service!

Debbie W

A big kudos to the Caniglia Group and more specifically to Steve, Erik and Gwen. Working as a well coordinated team, they provided us with excellent service from start to closing. They kept us well informed the entire time, offered friendly advice, shared needed resources, all the while with the utmost degree of professionalism. We can’t say enough about the great level of service they provided. We highly recommend anyone looking for a realtor, to give them a call!

Jeff Jones

The team did a great job marketing and selling our home. We got great advice for making the home more desirable for sale, the pictures and floor plan were great additions to the marketing plan. Steve and Eric had special knowledge of the neighborhood which allowed them to sell the home quickly and effortlessly on our part! Thank you Eric, Steve and Gwen! we wholeheartedly recommend this professional team!

Jessica H

We cannot imagine you could find a better realty group. Having done multiple transactions with the Caniglia Group over the past 10+ years, we continue to be impressed by their professionalism, honesty, commitment and pleasantness. Whether you are a buyer or seller – and we’ve done both – you will feel like you are the only client they have. You will never be neglected or pushed into a transaction, and along the way you will feel like you are represented by friends. Everyone we have referred to them over the years has had the same positive experience.

Steve B

The Caniglia Group was fantastic to work with. Thank you for all your hard work your team put in to sell our home. The communication was Top Notch! Appreciate all of you!

Nancy Durkee

Steve and his team were great communicators throughout the sales process. I was selling a condominium on behalf of a friend who died recently. They stepped me through the process, gave frank and helpful advice, and connected me with contractors who quickly completed some last-minute repairs. Steve is a nice guy as well as a great realtor. And he really knows the market. I recommend him highly!

Vincent Waldron

It was a great experience working with Steve, Gwen and the rest of the Caniglia group. They had our best interests in mind throughout the process rather than trying to get a quick sale. Our questions were answered quickly, and even though our sale occurred over Thanksgiving and right before Christmas, a member of their team was always available for us. They had good recommendations for contractors to perform repairs when needed, and last minute recommendations for junk removal, etc. Selling a home is an emotional process, and they provided sage advice at every turn. If your looking for a great realtor, we highly recommend The Caniglia Group.

Tim R

We LOVE the Caniglia Group! Erik and Steve are knowledgeable, timely, honest, hardworking, and reliable. We primarily worked with Erik Jensen during our home buying process. He took time to get to know our family so he understood what we needed in a house and neighborhood. He looked endlessly to find something that was perfect. He was available to look at houses and submit offers when it worked for our busy schedule. He is well connected with the Central Phoenix community (it seems like he knows EVERYONE!). Once we found the perfect house, Erik worked tirelessly to move our unique deal to the finish line. We truly felt like we were his only clients. Erik greatly exceeded our expectations and provided us with a fun, smooth, and memorable buying experience. Thank you Erik and thank you Caniglia Group!

Rachel Modrell

Erik and his team have been my go to realtor in Phoenix! They helped me buy and sell my house and I couldn’t recommend a more knowledgeable and insightful team in central Phoenix. They went above and beyond and were supportive in ways I didn’t even know I needed when thinking about buying a house.

Katie Gentry

Steve and his team were invaluable in the process of preparing and selling a condominium for me. I was out of state during the process, and they helped arrange everything: cleaning, prepping, and of course, showing. They were thorough in developing the pricing strategy with me, and everything just made sense. Throughout I developed a genuine trust of The Caniglia Group, and I enjoyed working with them.

Jake Studebaker

Wonderful group who worked really hard to make the sale of our condominium. They are a great team who I now know as friends.

I most strongly and sincerely recommend them to anyone who has any real estate opportunities. Very professional, personable, and knowledgeable.

Diane

Erik Jensen was our realtor and walked us thru the process of buying a large and beautiful property. We hope to make it our forever home. Erik found this off market listing for us before anyone else did, helped us secure the deal and went above and beyond in every way. He’s an excellent communicator with great people skills. A consummate professional in every regard. I highly recommend him.

Erik Curtis

I cannot recommend Steve enough. He and his team were effective, efficient and always great to deal with. His enthusiasm for our house stands out as one of the most striking features of our relationship. That is why we initially hired him and were extremely glad to have worked with him.

Steve helped in all areas of the endeavor from getting the house ready by giving us suggestions, names of wonderful people to help us and guided us through the negotiation process.

We interviewed only one other realtor, but it was clear that Steve was going to get the job from almost the minute we met him.

We’ve heard from plenty of people who were not satisfied with their chosen realtors, but I can honestly say that we never had one bit of hesitation About Steve’s effectiveness and his commitment to getting our house sold.

He had a marvelous brochure created. The video was striking in that it highlighted all of the best features of our house.

Many thanks to Steve and his staff.

Ken Winsberg

I had the pleasure of working with Erik to help some mutual buyers who were moving from Colorado to Arizona. Being that I was an out of state lender, Erik did his due diligence to make sure I knew what I was doing in AZ, all to make sure his clients had a great transaction. Erik was great to work with, and it was my pleasure to help him and the buyers have an on time, no surprise closing. Erik did a great job negotiating for the buyers, especially when the appraisal came in a bit low – he got the buyers everything they were hoping for. His communication lead to a great transaction all around.

Erik Jensen and The Caniglia Group are one of a kind. They are professional, punctual, detail-oriented, thoughtful, and kind. I had full confidence in them for the entire process of searching for and buying a house. Erik came highly recommended through a friend and he greatly exceeded very high expectations. I recommend Erik and The Caniglia Group without any reservations.

Kelly Scott

It was a pleasure working with Steve Caniglia and his team to successfully sell our home during a challenging year.
Appreciated their efforts to get the property listed and marketed near and far to get buyers and realtors in for a look.
Steve is a good communicator – easy to reach, quickly responds and clear about what comes next in the sales process.
Most valuable support Steve provided was during the contract negotiations with the buyers which got us to a successful sale!
Thank you, Steve and team.

Jackie Forbes

We vetted several agents to assist us in a buying and selling journey that began in 2024 and wrapped up nearly 9 months later. The Caniglia Group (Erik and Steve) were the standouts and turned out to be fantastic. We’d recommend them to anyone, but especially North Central Phoenix folks. In our situation, we were hyper-focused on finding a new-to-us home in this specific area of town, so their expertise in these neighborhoods really stood out both in our buying process and selling our starter home in the area. They know their stuff, are lovely, friendly and personable humans, and they never left us hanging when it came to super prompt help/answers to questions (of which we had about a million throughout the process). Several months after settling into our new home and closing on the sale of our old home, we have so much to be thankful for–namely to Erik, Steve and Gwen–for holding our hands through it all.

Jessica Johnson

The overall experience with the Caniglia Group was excellent. We engaged them to sell our home and also to buy a new home. Steve, Erik and Gwen were very professional and timely in their communications. As everyone knows selling your home is not easy. The entire team walked us through the process step by step and every decision that was made was based on them providing us with the right information to make those decisions. The team did a great job marketing the home across multiple media platforms ensuring we had maximum exposure. The value of the transaction landed right were we thought it would. Would we use them again? Absolutely!

Matt Ward

I had an exceptional experience from start to finish working with Erik Jensen with the Caniglia Group   From the very beginning, Erik truly listened to what I wanted and respected my vision for selling my home.  Erik understood that my property was unique and recognized its true value.   When I shared my thoughts on pricing, he listened and agreed that the home warranted even then a higher price then I—and he was absolutely right.

Smooth fast sale.

Peter Maughan

“I want to thank you for the excellent job you did marketing our house for sale. I must say that you two are the best residential brokers that I have dealt with in all my 38+ years in the real estate brokerage business. As you know, I own a commercial real estate brokerage company so I deal with a lot of brokers and can appreciate good ones when I see them. You two exemplify all the traits someone would want in a good broker. You have excellent people skills, work ethic, product & market knowledge, marketing savvy, negotiating skills, contract & legal knowledge and above all are easy and enjoyable to work with. You always kept me informed of what was going on so I always knew what the activity and feedback was and that you were always trying to make something happen.

Admittedly, I was a tough seller with top of the market price expectations. You never got frustrated with me and aggressively and creatively marketed our house. In the end, you were able to differentiate our house from the competition and really attack when the right buyer came along. You did a great job of partnering with the buyer’s agent and never stopped marketing until we were sure the deal was going to close. You even increased our negotiation leverage by bringing in a second offer right as we were negotiating with the first buyer. This resulted in the first buyer increasing their offer to a level that I know they would not have been willing to go to otherwise. Your tenacity clearly got us a better price, in fact, the highest price to date in the subdivision by over $70,000.

You guys (and Cindy) truly did an amazing job and went beyond the call of duty on many occasions to prepare the house for showings and make sure everything was perfect. In a world full of people that like to take shortcuts, you never took the easy and lazy path. You guys were all over this deal from start to finish. From the very first day, I could tell you guys were “on it”.

Whenever I run across someone looking for a Realtor, I will be sure to tell them about you. If you ever need a reference for a new prospect, just have them call me and will tell them that they would be crazy to hire anyone else.

You did a truly outstanding job selling our house. Thank you very much!”

“As a first time home buyer, I needed an agent who would not only take the time to understand what I was looking for in a home, but also guide me through the entire process. Erik earned my trust in our first meeting and managed to exceed my expectations with his knowledge of the market and commitment to finding me not just any home, but the right home. His initiative, efficiency, diligence and follow through make Erik an outstanding agent. He is incredibly organized, informative, flexible and experienced in his trade. I also learned firsthand that his reputation in his industry – including lenders and brokers – is unparalleled. It’s been one year since I closed on my home and I look back on my experience with joy as Erik made buying a home a wonderful one, rather than a stressful one.”

“Erik: I just wanted to thank you for everything you have done to help us sell our house. I know it was a pretty emotional process for me, and you definitely earned your commission. I honestly don’t know if it would have sold if it weren’t for you. We for sure chose the perfect realtor to help us with our sale. You deserve an award for “Best Realtor”. Thank you again so much. My family is all together again, and you helped with that process.”

“Steve is an excellent agent. He was friendly, courteous, professional, always on time and always responded to us in a prompt manner. Steve went above and beyond what we expected. Steve helped us purchase a house for $622,500 in Central Phoenix. Steve has an excellent knowledge of the homes/neighborhoods in Central Phoenix and has great relationships with many of the Central Phoenix agents. We found our home the day it went on the market, walked through it the next day and immediately put in an offer along with other potential buyers. We followed Steve’s lead on the negotiation and as a result, our offer was accepted over all other offers. Steve then patiently assisted us through the remainder of the process, inspections, appraisal, mortgage closing, etc. Steve did an outstanding job. We have asked him to list our current house, which we will now put on the market and I would recommend Steve without hesitation.”

“Steve was extremely patient with me as I bounced around from one neighborhood to the next. He brought honest opinions and helped me find a fantastic home. The process was smooth and I was kept informed throughout every step of the process. I would highly recommend Steve to all my family and friends.”

“Steve is the best Realtor in town! He is a pleasure to work with, he made finding our first house such a wonderful and pain free process! I would work with Steve on any real estate transaction in the future with great confidence.”

“Originally I was mistakenly given Steve’s name as someone who could help me RENT my property. Even though that was not something he did, he still was so helpful that I filed his number away for the time when I would be ready to sell. A few years later when I was ready to sell, I called Steve and I can’t say enough great things about him. Knowledgeable, truthful, down to earth…and my interests were clearly the priority. My only regret is that I couldn’t use Steve to help me buy my home in Colorado!”

“Steve has also helped my wife and I to sell two homes in the last three years. I can not say enough about how thorough and accommodating he was, I was kept up to date all throughout the process, although I know he was also very busy with other clients as well.”

“My husband and I were moving to Phoenix from out of state. Shelley & Steve Caniglia worked hard to set up a full day of viewings during the break between Christmas and NYE. They were professional and quick to respond to all of our needs during the closing process. All in all they were great to work with and I would recommend them to anyone.”

“I knew when Shelley and I got together for the sale of this unit, it would go fast, smoothly and with no hiccups — and it did. The attention she gave me on a small $100K condo is the same she’d give to someone selling a million-dollar property. She treats everyone the same with every detail of the process. No one is better than Shelley and her great team.”

“Thank you so very much to you, Steve and Cindy for all that you did to sell our house! We enjoyed working with you so much. You made the whole process easy. New we can focus on our transition to Salt Lake City. Best wishes to all of you.”
