Stephanie Passman, GRI, SFR

Here’s a recent testimonial from a long-term property investor – my favorite kind of person to be judged by. Investment properties are very often fun for me, but also very exacting, with precise requirements that must be met. So far this client and I have had great success in the market.

This is my fourth transaction with Stephanie. I’m a snowbird from Pennsylvania and Stephanie helped me purchase my winter home in Cape Coral. I spent two seasons there and found that I actually spent more time in St Petersburg. It’s where my circle of friends and most of my activities are, including the boating that I enjoy.

So we went on the hunt for a St Pete home. I knew it had to be on the water and I had very specific requirements, so it took a while to find the exactly perfect place. Stephanie kept on the chase and eventually delivered the perfect home!

Stephanie handled all the details of the transaction in her usual efficient and capable manner. More than this, her negotiation acumen came into play as we discovered a hidden defect at the last minute and had to resolve this with the seller – which we did finally, to my satisfaction.

Stephanie is someone I trust with my investment planning in terms of real estate. She understands this aspect very well. She knows what makes a property a good buy and why a place may not be such a good buy. This knowledge and savvy are crucial.

I recommend Stephanie for all of your real estate needs.

This is a nice testimonial, from repeat clients who drew on their experience and helped make things go smoothly.

We used Stephanie for the second time when we sold our Tampa townhouse. We had first met her when we were looking for an interim beach home. That was an arduous process and we got to see firsthand how well Stephanie navigated through the ups and downs of real estate. We knew then she was our realtor forever.

It turns out that we love our beach home. We thought it would be a stepping stone on the way to our dream beach house, but actually, we’re already there. Long story short, we decided to sell our Tampa town house and of course we used Stephanie to get it done. We followed all her advice, and had the place well staged and priced exactly right. We received multiple offers, and Stephanie guided us to the most robust offer that could go the distance to successful closing. And everything went smoothly, just as we wanted, and as we expected with Stephanie in charge.

We recommend Stephanie wholeheartedly, in case you didn’t get that by now!

This is a delightful review from people who were easy to work with, because they didn’t have false hopes or any misreading of the situation – they’re both lawyers, and both accustomed to dealing with the facts at hand. I appreciate their confidence in my handling of the transaction on their behalf. We all made it work smoothly.

Stephanie represented my husband and I in the purchase of our first home. In the process of searching for our home we met with many realtors before selecting Stephanie. It was clear from the first time we spoke to her that she knew what she was doing and possessed the skills to not only guide us through the purchase process but also to make the transaction proceed as smoothly as possible. Like all home purchases, there were bumps in the road, but Stephanie worked tirelessly to get the deal done. I cannot recommend her services enough and will work with her again when the time comes.

This testimonial comes from an experienced investor in real estate who relies on my up-to-date knowledge of the St. Petersburg market, with its many variables. It’s good to be appreciated, and that works both ways!

I just concluded my 4th transaction with Stephanie. She is unfailingly the person I would recommend to be your agent. I was in the market to purchase a condo for my nephew, and Stephanie helped me find the perfect one. Subsequently, my nephew’s plans changed.

I would have considered keeping the condo in my portfolio, but this particular complex requires 2-year ownership prior to renting, and I didn’t want to hold it that long as a non-performing asset. It was a valuable investment and when we turned it back to the market it sold well. Stephanie handled everything with her usual competence and skill.

Stephanie has helped me to make the right decisions in the tricky market of St. Petersburg to add value to my investing. I wouldn’t dream of using anyone else as my real estate agent, and nor should you!

Here’s a testimonial from a repeat client – coming back for more is always the best recommendation. Short and to the point.

This is our second Transaction with ​Stephanie. She has been generous with her time and has made herself available to us on various other occasions. We choose to work with Stephanie because she is very personable, responsive and demonstrated excellent knowledge of the real estate market. Stephanie is always able to answer our questions, works well with other agents and looks out for our best interest.
​
I highly recommend Stephanie. I would readily use her again as well as refer her to friends and family.

This is a nice testimonial from repeat clients. I chuckle when they talk about “keeping expectations realistic”. After one situation when they were starting to get attached to homes that didn’t best suit what they really needed, and I reminded them what their true family requirements were, they fondly gave me the nickname of “dream crusher” 😉 So, dream crusher it is then. Their home plans have worked out for them along their path, and now they’re building their ultimate dream home.

We lucked into finding Stephanie when we were purchasing our first house in 2013. Since then, we have asked Stephanie to represent us every time we have been involved in a real estate transaction. Our most recent home sale in March 2018 marks the third time we have worked with Stephanie.

Stephanie truly cares about her clients. She does everything she can to get them whatever they are looking for while keeping their expectations realistic. While she is always looking out for her clients best interests, she is fair and honest with both parties. If a problem does arise, her knowledge and work ethic always reassures us that we are in good hands.

Simply put, Stephanie is the best choice you can make to represent you when buying or selling real estate.
