Bio

Buying your dream home or selling your current can be a very exciting but stressful time in one's life. Stephanie knows what it’s like as she personally purchased three homes and sold two. Journeying through the experience of homeownership has made Stephanie very sensitive to what her clients are feeling. She knows how to be there for them in the way that her Realtor® was there for her. She will listen to what you are looking for, but through the lens of an experienced home buyer, seller, and agent. Knowledge of the current real estate market, communication, and persistence is key in a successful real estate transaction. Stephanie has received countless awards over the past several years; someone who understands the market receives such distinctions. She is extremely responsive and will stay on top of your file. Throughout the process, Stephanie will regularly check-in with the attorneys and agents involved with your transaction to make sure there are no surprises. Before becoming a Realtor®, Stephanie was part of corporate America, working as a Derivatives Document Specialist and a Lead OCIP Administrator. These experiences gave her a strong business sense combined with the know-how to best serve her clients. Stephanie was born and raised in Fairfield, Connecticut, and knows the entire area of Fairfield County intimately.
