Mario Ponce

Let’s be honest—real estate today is flooded with agents who watched one too many HGTV episodes and decided they were born to sell homes. That’s not me. I’m part of Cantwell and Stein Realtors, a family brokerage with 35+ years of boots-on-the-ground experience helping families across the Bay Area buy, sell, and build real wealth.

I treat every transaction like the family’s future is on the line—because every family is unique, and so is every deal. Whether you're buying your first home or selling your fifth, this market requires more than charm and a lockbox—it takes strategy, negotiation, and real-time expertise. My background in hospitality, restoration, coaching, and high-stakes deal-making has made me a relentless advocate and a calm presence in chaotic moments.

I specialize in first-time buyers, upsizing sellers, and everyone ready to make real moves in this wild Bay Area market. Don’t just get a realtor—get a strategist, a teammate, and someone who actually answers the call for your family."
