From start to finish, A-Z, Stephanie is the complete package! We contacted her a year before placing our home on the market to consult about what improvements were worth making and what we should not bother with. Stephanie carefully evaluated the house and yard and offered very detailed and reasonable advice on what would best prepare the house for sale. A year later we were planning our move and contacted her to help get the house ready and on the market. She helped with every aspect of the process, from recommendations for local contractors when requested, to decisions about staging and pricing. Stephanie helped us set a realistic timeline to get the many small details involved in preparing a house for sale scheduled. We did not always use contractors recommended by her, but when we did, they were very professional and did a good job. She has been working in real estate on the coast for many years and has solid, reliable contacts and a strong sense of what the market is doing on any given day. No question or concern we posed was too small or too large for Stephanie. She always responded promptly with solid advice and recommendations and was always pleasant, patient and highly knowledgeable. She helped us sell our house quickly, for a good price, in a tumultuous market. Her support kept us from getting overwhelmed or frustrated throughout what could have been a very confusing time. Stephanie did all she could to make the transition to our new home as smooth as possible. If you are planning to buy or sell a property and you want the best possible experience, we highly recommend you make Stephanie part of your process!

Stephanie was instrumental in bringing our dream home to reality. Mitigating issues and finalizing escrow, going above and beyond for giving us discounted prices. She handled difficult situations with ease, was available at all times to answer questions and providing timely information that we required.

We met Stephanie as the listing agent on a house we bought Coastside. We were so impressed by her presentation and in-depth knowledge of the house and the local factors, that as experienced buyers we proceeded to use her services without the need for a buyers’ agent. We have not been disappointed. Whatever questions we had, whatever inquiries needed to be made, these were dealt with promptly and with maximum information content. She handled all the negotiations in a diplomatic and respectful manner. She was firm when necessary, and resourceful all the time. Stephanie used her considerable connections to find us an agent for a challenging homeowner’s policy and steer the escrow process smoothly and without drama. At the end, with minimal prompting, she made all the local introductions for us and connected us with trusted vendors for our new house needs. Should we ever need another house transaction on the Coastside or elsewhere in San Mateo county, we wouldn’t think too long about who to go to.

Stephanie expertly balances being calm, supportive, and understanding with having an exceptional attention to detail and executing tasks swiftly when the right house presents itself. We enjoyed the entire process of working with Stephanie from the first contact to closing on our new happy home. In addition, her specific knowledge of the coastal communities was particularly helpful. Highly recommended.

Stephanie came to us highly recommended and we are lucky that we had her guidance in the sale of our current home and purchase of our next home. Her keen knowledge of the market and the strong relationships she has built with partners in the area allowed the process of selling/buying to move with urgency, yet she did not miss a beat keeping us informed with precise details. She brought clear communication to the table and was available to answer (or find who has the answer) to any questions we had. Stephanie is transparent and a professional, demonstrates high integrity and gets things done. A perfect mix of qualities to have in an agent when so much is at stake. If you have a chance to work with her, do! — Maria J Duarte

I can't imagine a better home buying experience! Stephanie is exceptional. She was very patient and took the time to explain the process and copious amount of documentation. She also connected us with excellent specialists that helped us gage the work the house needed. She is a compelling communicator and strategic thinker - I can't imagine a more skillful negotiator. I truly felt that she was working really hard for us and I never felt pressure about any house she showed us. It is important to her that her clients find the right house for them. As first time buyers, there was a lot we didn't know. Stephanie looked out for our interests all the way through closing. She suggested ways we could save money during closing and worked with the seller's agent to have everything done. She not only did right by us at key milestones, but also when we weren't looking. She operates with integrity, skill, efficiency, strategy, and good humor. I really couldn't recommend her any more highly!

This summer, after we had a very quick close on a new house, we wanted to get our home on the market as quickly as possible. Because the real estate market was changing, we planned to interview 3-4 agents in order to find that right one to help us navigate the process quickly and keep us focused with all of the other things happening in our life at the time. A friend recommended Stephanie. Stephanie arrived for our appointment, and within 15 minutes we knew she was the agent we were looking for. She is knowledgeable, articulate, and very easy to talk to. We were very impressed with her background and focus on marketing. Within 8 weeks (and one of those was a delay on our part to pack for the move), Stephanie had prepared our home, marketed it, and found our buyer. She is a very thoughtful, intelligent, and responsive agent to work with, and we couldn’t have been more pleased with our decision.

Stephanie guided us thru all of the stages of listing, preparing, staging and selling of our home. She explained the recent changes in the market and the importance of presenting our home in the most favorable condition to attract buyers. Stephanie's use of technology mixed with her experience gave us a clear picture of the market trends which helped us come up with a listing price that attracted serious buyers. The result was that sold our home in less than two weeks. If you want an honest, fair and reliable real estate agent to represent you, I would highly recommend you call Stephanie

Stephanie helped us purchase our first California home! She was invaluable to us through this process. She is very knowledgable about the area and walked us through the entire process seamlessly. She was very responsive to questions/concerns and helped keep escrow on time. She was great to work with and would highly recommend her!
