Stephanie was wonderful to work with and was so patient and helpful throughout the long and sometimes frustrating process of purchasing our first home. Finding the right property was not easy for us as my husband and I were extremely specific with what we wanted and needed and the real estate market in the Palo Alto/Menlo Park area is tough. We visited many places and did a lot of research before we finally found the perfect home. Stephanie always had a pleasant, personable and calm demeanor, and her communication and responsiveness was terrific (she was always available to help). She was with us and assisted us the entire step of the way, from the initial search through closing. We are so grateful that we got to know her and for all of her help!
Stephanie was amazing! We had relocated to the East Coast and she helped immensely in recommending and managing several updates to the sale property in preparation for listing. I think we took every recommendation she had (e.g. paint this, replace that, do staging, misc repairs) and are glad we did! Her prep, planning, and professional marketing resulted in an amazing offer that we accepted the first day the townhouse was on the market--for ~$130k OVER ASKING!!! Our place is off Willow Road adjacent to the Willows, and she was super knowledgeable about the neighborhood and the target audience. Really don't think it would have been possible to have had a better experience, so can't recommend her highly enough! Thank you Stephanie!
We actually happened to run into Stephanie at a showing of a house where we did not like the house but were really impressed with her knowledge of the Bay Area especially in the areas we were looking ( Los Altos, Menlo Park, Redwood City ). Our criteria when we started looking was to find a bigger house but in a good school district ( we live in San Jose ). Stephanie was fantastic in helping us figure that out where she would send us detailed emails / research articles to point out the different options we could explore in terms of schooling ( paired with the location ). I can’t stress how valuable this was for us since it would mean how the most important years of our Childs education would be shaped & making that decision after having looking at all facts with Stephanie made the process much more easier & satisfying. The other standout quality about Stephanie was her honesty, we must have looked for almost 6-7 months & we were difficult as a couple as both me & my wife wanted different things in a neighborhood ; so we always looked for someone who would provide a different perspective & we totally found that in her. There were times when we LOVED some houses & would want to put an offer ASAP but she would point out the pitfalls & steer us away from putting one. There were also instances where she would not know a few things mentioned in the inspection report, in those cases she was upfront about not knowing but she has an array of contacts with contractors & would immediately get a couple of different contractors to know more about those things BEFORE we made an offer. After our offer got accepted, before moving into the house, we had to do a bunch of work to make the house move in ready, she made that whole process so easy for us by helping us interview various contractors, she even picked the paint for us & gave tips on how to select the furniture as well. She did not really need to do this but it just goes to show her commitment towards her clients. All these things were very re-assuring for us & greatly appreciated. We not only found a great house in the end but also a friend for life ! I highly recommend Stephanie !!
Stephanie was instrumental in our purchase of our Menlo Park residence. She was everything you could hope for in a broker - Attentive, responsive, organized, and capable of handling multiple projects at once. I would recommend Stephanie to anybody looking for a first-rate advisor in their home buying or selling process
sold our house for well over asking. Stephanie had good contacts and worked hard to prep the house for the best showing. She and Michael Dreyfus coordinated the bidding and acceptance process well

Our family feels very fortunate to have worked with Stephanie when we relocated to the Bay Area. She was incredibly dedicated to helping us find a new home—exploring many different areas with us, introducing us to the region, and ultimately helping us identify the best schools for our children and community-fit for our unique family. All of that took several months of thoughtful determination on her part. She took a lot of time to learn about us and our needs before she found us the perfect home. Then, she expertly brokered our transaction, and we were able to simply focus on making the move. We will definitely work with her on our next move and highly recommend her, in all aspects!
I hired Stephanie to sell a condo (in the middle of Covid) and it was a great experience - she was very professional in her communications, took care of every little detail (including managing prospective buyers, but also managing staging, getting rid of existing furniture, fixing various things, etc.) and most importantly sold the unit in just over a month on the market. I would highly recommend Stephanie!
Stephanie is a wonderful person and an absolutely fantastic agent. We recently purchased a home that is perfect for the needs of our family, including our adult son with disabilities. We had a significant number of “needs” and almost as many “wants” and she helped us prioritize and see the possibilities in the houses we considered. She is an excellent communicator and always responded immediately to emails, texts and phone calls (and we asked a lot of questions). It’s an incredibly competitive market now and she stood by and with us throughout the process. She is kind, thoughtful, professional and incredibly patient. Highly recommend!
