Here was a challenging situation with a military redeployment and no room for second-guessing. It was good exercise for keeping my skills sharp, and I appreciate the acknowledgements from these professional clients in this testimonial.
At the time I met Stephanie, we were a military family living in Germany and my husband was scheduled to report to MacDill AFB in Tampa by August. We originally started our home search by using a relocation program through our bank. We found that the agent assigned to us was non-responsive and less than enthusiastic in assisting us in finding a new home here in St. Petersburg. While looking online, Stephanie responded to a property inquiry we made for more information. After speaking with her on the phone it became evident that Stephanie was very knowledgeable about the area, was experienced, honest and forthright. After a short discussion with my husband we decided to move forward using Stephanie as our agent.
Stephanie is extremely efficient. We had a very tight timeline we were trying to work within, but Stephanie never missed a step. She quickly set up our search with automated alerts and responded promptly to our many questions. It’s not easy moving to a new area and it can be a bit overwhelming when you know very little about the area. After choosing the homes that appealed to us she would go through our list and delete any properties that she felt were not a good fit. Within a week I flew to Florida to start viewing properties. I only had two days so I appreciated the fact that my time was spent efficiently.
Once the offer was made and accepted, Stephanie orchestrated and attended all the inspections, provided insurance contacts and even helped us change lenders.
We all know that communication is key. We never had to wonder where we were in the process. If she sent an email – we were copied. If there were communications outside of email – she would follow up with an email or a call.
I can say without hesitation her professionalism and level of commitment to her clients is top shelf. It’s comforting to know when buying a home hundreds or even thousands of miles away, that you can have a calm, friendly, professional voice—available at all hours of the day—taking care of details to get you to closing.
I highly recommend Stephanie Passman to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
