This testimonial illustrates how important it can be to have an agent helping you remember your best interests in the heat of the moment. The home buying and selling process can get obscured by emotions very easily. It’s one of the agent’s biggest obligations, I think, to keep an objective view of the process for their clients.
My parents worked with Stephanie to find the perfect winter home in Indian Rocks Beach. Macaulay and I met Stephanie at the showing of my parent’s new home. Stephanie was nothing but professional and provided her honest opinion and options in regards to possible improvements. She made the home buying process smooth and seamless for my parents. Thus, there was no question my wife and I would work with anyone else but Stephanie.
When it came time to find a different home more suitable to our needs and desires, we followed Stephanie’s advice on things we needed to do to get our house market ready and get the highest dollar amount for our home. Within two weeks, we were on the market. Our house went under contract fairly quickly and now it was time to find a new home that checked off all our boxes.
Before we started our search, Stephanie wanted to know all of the things that were important to us in our next home. She kept us on track and focused on what was most important to us. There were a couple of homes shown to us that we liked but compromised some of our “boxes.” However, Stephanie was quick to remind Macaulay and I of our top “boxes’ we wanted to check off – pool, playroom for our daughter and a place to park our boat. It is amazing how easy it is to get caught up emotionally with a home that looks and feels appealing, while forgetting the things most important and needed to make a home a perfect fit. Stephanie was always the voice of reason. It is very rare to find someone willing to risk an easy sale and commission to stop you from moving forward and making a mistake you will regret in the future. We feel very blessed that Stephanie was there for us and always kept our best interest as priority.
Stephanie is honest, knowledgeable and always conducts herself professionally. If you are looking for someone that can guide you through the many facets of buying or selling a home, I highly recommend you seek her services. Stephanie is more than capable of maneuvering through the many obstacles in today’s market and is always readily available to answer any and all questions, no matter what time of day. Your needs will be met before her own. You can trust you will be in good hands!
