Working with Stephanie will be the best real estate experience you will ever have!!! Stephanie helped us find our DREAM HOME and I can safely say, that if not for her, we would never have bought it!! Right from the very first call, we knew that she was the realtor we wanted to work with. She takes her time to get to know her clients, their expectations and what they’re looking for...She had the inside scoop on homes that weren’t even on the market yet, and understood exactly the style and price we were after. In short, Stephanie does not treat her clients as “transactions” but rather forges a relationship with her clients and helps them not just buy a home but also get set up in the new neighborhood. As you can probably tell, we thoroughly enjoyed working with Stephanie in our search for our home.

Thank you to Stephanie Cowan of Cowan Real Estate on the sale of my mother’s home! I am the executor for my mother’s estate. For the past ten years, I’ve been involved in protracted litigation on her behalf, that would eventually include the sale of her San Elijo Hills home. I met Stephanie in 2019 while I was in the beginning stage of repairing the house for sale. From the start, Stephanie was consistently available, and knowledgeable, providing contact information for original subcontractors, and other referrals in all areas of home maintenance and need in San Marcos. As I continued to make progress, Stephanie regularly checked back, keeping me updated about market conditions all the while. At a very difficult juncture in the history of the home, Stephanie jumped into the quagmire, taking on the job as my realtor. It wasn’t without much struggle, and extra pressure. It required becoming familiar with the highly complicated, unusual aspects of the sale and working through one buyer who withdrew his offer. It required interacting with attorneys and court personnel following multiple court hearings and delays, but Stephanie stayed on board without ever becoming distracted from the goal, and we finally got the house sold! The closing documents were described by a highly experienced managing escrow office as one of the two most complicated escrows she had prepared in thirty years. It wasn’t a quick sale, and it wasn’t an easy sale. It was probably not a sale that many realtors would want to take on. But this was a sale that helped me become extricated from a legal burden I had been carrying a very long time. My personal relief that Stephanie successfully sold this home for me can’t be adequately described. Thank you Stephanie, for getting the job done in very difficult and complicated circumstances.

Working with Stephanie will be the best real estate experience you will ever have!!! Stephanie helped us find our DREAM HOME and I can safely say, that if not for her, we would never have bought it!! Thank you Stephanie!! Right from the very first call, we knew that she was the realtor we wanted to work with. She takes her time to get to know her clients, their expectations and what they’re looking for - not just in terms of the home, but also the neighborhood, and the surrounding facilities that the clients might need. She had the inside scoop on homes that weren’t even on the market yet, and understood exactly the style and price we were after. We were looking for a home in a very specific neighborhood and we were new to that area. Even though there were no listings in that area, she offered to drive us around not just that neighborhood but all the surrounding neighborhoods. She educated us on the neighborhoods in that area so we can evaluate which ones might be a good fit for us. It took us almost a year to find our dream home as we were very particular on where it should be located, she never once pushed us in a different way to move us forward just so she can close on a transaction. Throughout the year, Stephanie kept us informed regarding what was coming to or on the market, and was always available to answer our questions. In short, Stephanie does not treat her clients as “transactions” but rather forges a relationship with her clients and helps them not just buy a home but also get set up in the new neighborhood. As you can probably tell, we thoroughly enjoyed working with Stephanie in our search for our home. We highly recommend Stephanie for all of your future real estate endeavors and could not have found a better fit!

Stephanie went above and beyond to make this experience as smooth as possible. Professional, kind and capable, no request was too much, response time was immediate. We would recommend her without reservation.

With no shortage of friends, neighbors and family members in the real estate field, there is no dearth of people who can simply buy or sell your home for you...fine if you want just an average ho-hum experience. If however you wish to be wowed by a person and team that not only supercede expectations, but also set a new bar for excellence in real estate; let me introduce you to Stephanie Cowan and her team. Stephanie recently represented our family as sellers during this very tumultuous time in the North County real estate market and in spite of, the process from our perspective could not have been any smoother or more delightful. You know why? Stephanie is an absolute pro. She not only addressed the pedantic and obvious steps that most can do (listing the home, planting a sign, etc) - but then anticipated and handled all the multitude of minutiae that cropped up along the way. It was evident from the word "go" she was not going to rest until the job was efficiently, seamlessly and professionally done; she wouldn't rest until we were 100% satisfied. From staging to final execution of a contract, she offered pragmatic tips, words of encouragement and absolutely crushed it- both serving as the gentle hand guiding the entire process but also focused on solving the details that can often derail things. Bonus was her talented internal team as well as the impressive array of genuinely talented/skilled and reasonable contractors (painters, electrician, handyman, etc) at the ready for the micro ordels that could have been major holdups had she not been there to handle. She did this with much aplomb and most importantly, without lobbing a heavy burden on us as sellers-super helpful if you have other responsibilities like kiddos or a full time job;-). If you are in the market either as buyer or seller, do yourself a favor and give Stephanie a call- you won't be disappointed!

Stephanie was such a pleasure to work with. I was, at times, high maintenance and challenging and Stephanie always shined and brought an energy and light to the issue. I value Stephanie as professional and a friend. Al Allen

Stephanie Cowan and her team are STARS of the real estate world!! As our family began our conversation with Stephanie (for our second transaction with her), she (correctly) suggested that the San Elijo Hills neighborhood maybe prepared for a contingent offer (to buy then sell), which was unheard of just three months prior.  But knowing the LOCAL market, Stephanie and her team worked tirelessly with escrow, and brokers, contractors and two sets of realtors, to make our perfect house a reality.  Her positive attitude, and friendly team is a driving force in closing deals.  There may not be a perfect time to buy or sell a house, but working with a professional like Stephanie will make a transaction as smooth as possible while optimizing your financial gain.

I had the privilege of working with Stephanie Cowan as my realtor when looking to sell my home in Vista,CA. Stephanies knowledge about real estate is multi-faceted and she is most certainly able to do more than the average agent. I appreciated her ability to advise me about al the phases and planning to bring the house market ready for listing. Stephanie is a real estate agent who kept me updated with every little detail during the whole selling process, it was really wonderful what she did. My house went on the market and was SOLD WITHIN A WEEK!!! Thanks Stephanie for the incredible hard working you did. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Stephanie Cowan to any person who is looking to buy or sell a home,as well as seek her service in any of my future real estate transactions.

Stephanie was recommended to me by a personal acquaintance as an excellent choice for a real estate agent. She did not disappoint. I found her pleasant, patient, proactive, and resourceful. she knew how to showcase the best features of my property to optimize the purchase price. She helped me navigate through a difficult time at the beginning of the change in the market. We had challenges during the sale as a result. She kept me well informed, which I found in valuable. I recommend her highly.
