Real Estate Expertise
CLIENT TESTIMONIALS:"Stephanie helped us with a relocation from Brooklyn to Rowayton and helped us negotiate a great deal for a rental house during a highly competitive market. Because rental properties were moving so fast, she was able to give us a virtual tour of the property which lead to us signing a lease sight unseen. We were very happy when we finally saw the house in person. She was highly responsive and kept us updated throughout the process. We loved working with her and hope to be able to use her again when we're ready to buy a house.""Stephanie was truly a joy to work with this year as we both sold our first home, and bought our new forever house! She was consistently responsive, available to take us to last minute showings, and always had a positive attitude that helped us stay optimistic in a competitive housing market. I could not recommend Stephanie enough to prospective buyers or sellers in Fairfield County and beyond!""We had a great experience working with Stephanie to help us buy a new house and sell our old house this past year. She was knowledgeable, responsive and a pleasure to work with. I would definitely recommend Stephanie if you are looking for a realtor.""Stephanie helped us so much throughout the entire home buying experience and is still offering her expertise during our remodeling. It helped so much having a knowledgeable agent guide us (as we were living out of state). She did a wonderful job offering guidance without being pushy."
