★★★★★
"Stephanie is a very professional person, she identified our needs as a family and we did not waste time, in all the appointments that we went, all the houses complied with our requirements. She is very proactive, persistent and follows up on everything. We strongly recommend her." - Maria

★★★★★
"Stephanie was amazingly prompt, responsive and extremely knowledgeable. My husband and I recently relocated back to Seattle after a decade of being gone and she was able to help us identify the best neighborhood for all our needs. She also worked within our stated budget and wasn't ever pushy or aggressive on anything outside of that. Stephanie was a pleasure to work with and I plan to use her for all my real estate needs going forward." -Emily

★★★★★
"We got an amazing fixer Upper that's increased in value since we bought it 7 mos ago. Stephanie took us patiently thru many diverse options as we were not even sure what we wanted at the time-an investment property that our sons could live in while in University... from Condos to apartments to small lots, we saw the whole gamut. Then happened upon this sudden old style focer Upper that she helped us envision and understood immediately that we could do it. Stephanie is so approachable patient and fun to work with, and she has a solid background in family contracting which is a plus for anyone who wants to go a little deeper into renovation or additions. You'll be in good hands. She is true blue and spunky but not pushy, Actively patient and capeable of writing up a damned good contract." - Kayla

★★★★★
"Stephanie is persistent. We looked for 5 months in the Seattle market, bidding 6 times and almost bidding more. We felt like giving up, but Stephanie's positive attitude kept us looking. The house that we bought was our 4th and 6th bid. Stephanie put her negotiation skills to the test overcoming numerous obstacles through the bidding and closing process. We highly recommend Stephanie! "

★★★★★
"Stephanie was great through out our whole process. We were first time home buyers and she was very helpful in making sure we understood the process. She helped us find listings and also setup any showings we asked her to. She was very flexible with her schedule and extremely knowledgeable of neighborhoods and the ins and outs of houses. We had to do quite a bit of back and forth with the seller and she handled 90% of it without even need us to get involved and we always felt she was putting our interests ahead of her making a commission. We never felt pressured to skip a step or forward if we felt uncomfortable, she instead made herself more available to answer questions or talk scenarios through with us. We plan to recommend Stephanie to all of our friends!"

About Stephanie
I have been involved in numerous real estate transactions in the Greater Seattle area over the last 19 years. I take immense pride in guiding our clients through the process of buying or selling their home, always providing them with a comprehensive understanding of the local market while delivering a high level of service, and most importantly being their trusted advocate and negotiator. One of my greatest strengths is providing a calming presence to clients which is key when it comes to helping them navigate their sale or purchase.

Born and raised in the Seattle area, I am proud to call myself a true Seattleite! I have attended both public and private schools in and around Seattle and received a bachelor’s degree from Washington State University after spending three years at the University of San Francisco. Post-graduation, I returned to Seattle, working in both retail and technology honing my skills in delivering exceptional customer service and communication.

My initial interest in real estate started soon after I married my husband, Matt. Together we bought our first home in 1999 and spent whatever "free" time we had building sweat equity with the help of Matt's general contractor background. In a matter of five years, we had purchased and sold three homes, each time learning from the experiences, which developed into a calling for a career in real estate. In 2005, I obtained my broker license and I continue to love helping others realize their real estate dreams. In 2019, Matt and I combined our professional talents and created our own real estate team at Compass. Our breadth of knowledge and experience in both real estate and construction is incredibly unique in our industry and sets the stage for our clients’ successes.

I have watched Seattle grow from a small city to a now bustling, metropolitan, international community. This explosive growth has created a challenging market due to a large buyer pool and a lack of inventory, a forever constant in residential real estate in Seattle. This is why I believe that it is so important to work with an agent who knows local neighborhoods and schools, transportation, commute times, and current market trends. I have been complemented on out of box thinking and creativity, deftly navigating clients and providing options and solutions to even the most challenging scenarios. When it comes time to review contracts, I am a keen negotiator, advocate, and I understand everything that a real estate transaction entails.

When I am not helping others do the important work of selling or buying real estate, I enjoy time outside, exercising, trying to copy recipes I find on social media, and mostly I love spending time with my family and friends, and my French bulldog, Felix.
