Steven Gothelf

My heartfelt condolences to Donna, Adam and family. I was saddened to hear that Steve had passed away. I had the pleasure of knowing Steve and his family for almost 40 years. I met Steve when I first started cutting hair on Union Street and he loyally followed me around the city. He had to stop coming to me when he was going through his cancer treatment and then Covid happened. I was thinking about him yesterday and discovered he had passed. Steve was a wonderful, kind and empathetic person....

Steve and I met about 40 years ago.We had a few things in common;both of us spent our teenage years on Long Island, arrived in San Francisco about the same time and choose real estate as our profession. He was a true gentleman and we shared many laughs together. Steve will be greatly missed. David Furman friend

Steve was simply the best at what he did. He always greeted me with a smile and friendly handshake. He had an incredible memory and always asked specific questions about my family. Steve was incredibly patient and was kind to all. I even remember how he would wave to other drivers - I've adopted his hand signals. He always made time to pet a dog or share a laugh. I'm excited to know that Adam will be moving the business forward and keep it a truly family affair.

Condolences to the Gothelf family. We were clients of Steven´s. He was a gentleman, an effective and intellegent broker and so wonderful to work with. We never considered working with anyone else after working with Steven. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. I´m sure he will be missed Kim and Stephen Bachmann

Steves death comes as a major shock as we had very recently completed a sale of our home and the purchase of co-op apartment with him. He handled every aspect of the transactions as an expert and a truly professional. In his quiet way he guided us through every aspect of the transactions. We have had other involvement with him over the years, both personal and professional, and it was always a pleasure to be in his company. We will truly miss him.

Steve was a guiding light when I started my real estate career. Honest, Humble and Supportive, he shared a foundation that I still follow today. With Steve's passing, there will be a huge void in many lives non more so than Donna and Adam. Huge hugs to both of you and the entire family. He was a great man!!

Steven was always one of the kindest and most caring people I knew in the real estate community. He will be very much missed by his colleagues, clients and everyone who came in contact with him. RIP Steve. You are missed!

Steve was one of the kindest and smartest people I ever knew in real estate. I don't remember ever seeing him angry or upset. His calm demeanor was soothing and reassuring to his clients and to those of us fortunate enough to be on the other side of a transaction with him. He was a true Gentleman in every sense of the word. I hope he is resting peacefully and satisfied with a life well lived!

We were blessed to have worked with Steve since 2007 handling all of his marketing. He was an absolute jewel to work with, so respectful, so kind, so caring. Really one of the best in the industry. We miss him dearly and know that Adam will carry on his legacy, as he is as kind and caring as Steve was.
