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.

This is our second transaction with Stephanie which says a lot! She is an amazing realtor, great negotiator and knows this crazy market so well! She foresees problems before they become problems and guides you through the whole process with ease.

I have watched Stephanie grow her business from the very beginning to now. I always knew she was not just good at her job but uniquely good. I was so excited that Ryan and I were finally able to work with her. I have a new respect for her work ethic, difficulty of the actual job, and how dedicated Stephanie is to her clients. She genuinely cares and desires to deliver on every level. Trying to buy an “as is” house under massive contingencies, sell a house in perfect timing to line up with the contingency timeline, DURING a massive federal interest hike, was only the beginning of the hoops she jumped through with ease all while giving us peace of mind and explaining the process so we could understand. I have had the honor of calling Stephanie client and friend for 15 years, and now she can call me a forever client. We will never buy or sell another house without her.”
