"When I decided to sell my condo in downtown Boston, there were a few key criteria I was looking for in a realtor: high integrity and ethics, honesty, professionalism, effective salespersonship. I wanted someone who would represent me- and my space- in the same the manner I would. And I wanted someone whom I could trust implicitly to manage the entire process from start to finish. Stefanie has all of these qualities in spades, plus an incredibly positive attitude and demeanor, and a very strong work ethic. Not only is she extremely polished and professional, but she is a skilled and nuanced communicator and also highly relationship/client-centric. She was able to manage me (the client), potential buyers, other parties involved, and the process absolutely flawlessly. I knew that I could trust Stefanie to: aggressively market my unit, attract the appropriate buyers, and close the deal quickly and painlessly- without dropping a ball or leaving any "i" undotted or "t" uncrossed. In fact, she sold my condo in 46 days (from list to close) and for above asking price. And all the while, I enjoyed every single interaction and conversation with her. Stefanie was always at least two steps ahead of me, and she was always so responsive and accommodating. That said, she wasn't afraid to respectfully push back when appropriate- or present other perspectives based upon her experience, so we were able to work together in a successful partnership to get the transaction done, and in a way that exceeded my every expectation. I highly, highly recommend Stefanie for any real estate need, as I believe that she is truly in a category of her own."

Chantal H.

"Stefanie helped us sell our condo in Somerville. During the entire process, she demonstrated unequalled professionalism and responsiveness. She was always available, very fast and knew exactly how to manoeuver sometimes tricky situations. She is very experienced and makes intelligent decisions fast. Stefanie knows how to make the entire process go smoothly and properly, taking a lot of stress out of sellers and buyers. For anyone wanting to sell (or buy) a house, I would strongly recommend Stefanie, she is outstanding."

Jamie S.

"Stefanie is an asset to her profession. Her knowledge of the industry and superb customer service is unprecedented. Stefanie handled the sale of our condo and the purchase of our new home with skill and grace despite a crazy real estate market. She found us the perfect condo in our desired location although the inventory was non-existant. We recommend Stefanie to everyone we know who has friends, family, or colleagues in need of an agent. My husband and I were beyond impressed with Stefanie and look forward to working with her again soon."

Rob O.

"Stefanie assisted us in renting our South Boston condo. We were faced with challenging logistics and an uncertain timeline. Stefanie's expertise allowed us to overcome those challenges and find the right tenant for our condo in a timely fashion. Stefanie's positive energy and professionalism was greatly appreciated. She was a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy, sell, or lease property."

Erica O.

"After having a tough go at selling our condo last year, Stefanie brought her much-needed expertise to the situation and helped us sell our property in less than one week, with multiple offers -- and at $15k over our asking price. I'd recommend Stefanie to anyone since she had a vision in mind for our property, guided us through the entire process in a very hands-on way, and managed the entire process like a pro. I'll definitely be working with her again in the future!"

Leah P.

"Stefanie is extremely professional and knowledgeable about the Boston real estate market. As a first time home buyer, looking for a condo in a competitive market, Stefanie made sure I was comfortable with the entire process and stayed on top of the quickly moving market so I didn't miss out on any opportunities. She went above and beyond my expectations, not only while I looked at properties was she helpful and extremely responsive, but Stefanie was also organized through the entire closing process and stayed on top of every detail to ensure that things went smoothly. Stefanie was a huge part of my success in finding a great place. I would recommend her to anyone looking to sell or buy and I look forward to working with her again in the future."

Alison R.

"It was a pleasure it was working with Stefanie.  I know this rental market is very stressful and it is not easy accommodating the needs of your clients. Stefanie never let that show; she was always prompt in her response to my many emails and phone calls, while always keeping a positive outlook.  I know she genuinely wanted to find us the perfect apartment. Stefanie went above and beyond to be flexible around our schedule and was very intuitive to what we were looking for. I would refer anyone looking to rent an apartment in the Boston area to Stefanie, and hope to use her again when it comes time for me to purchase a home!"


Raquel R.

"I recently closed on my dream condo with the help of Stefanie! From our initial phone conversation to the closing, she was extremely proactive, supportive, and an all around pleasure to work with. Stefanie made it easy to find a place and handle that hassles that come with it even while I was living elsewhere and could not be in Boston often. I really appreciate how she was truly my advocate throughout the process, working with the listing agent and lawyers, and keeping me informed throughout. I was so impressed by her professionalism and attention to detail, especially in comparison to the listing agents. I really never would have found the amazing place I am in today without her hard work and research into my specific needs. Lastly, even after a few small problems arose after the closing on the the seller's side, Stefanie was still on top of the problems, even though it could have been my problem to handle on my own. I couldn't be happier with my new home, and doubt I could have gotten there without Stefanie."

Kim S.

"My husband and I used Stefanie from Keller Williams Realty to help assist us in renting out our 1 bedroom condo in Somerville, MA. We were nervous that we would not find anyone to rent out our condo given that it was December and my current tenants were moving out at the end of January. Winter and the holidays were working against us but Stefanie did everything she could to market our place and show it as much as possible. Stefanie made sure that we were always being updated on the status of the showings and was extremely professional to not only my husband and I but to our current tenants. We are out of state landlords so having Stefanie's help and guidance made the process easy and stress free. Stefanie's hard work pulled through and we found a wonderful tenant. We couldn't have done this without her!"

Heather A.

"I hired Stefanie to sell my condo in the South End of Boston in July, as of August it was sold. From our first meeting to the closing Stefanie was prepared, professional and hardworking. As a first time seller I had questions and concerns but working with Stefanie made the process seem easy. She truly went above and beyond. I cannot recommend her enough and would hire her again in a heartbeat. If you are looking for a dedicated, smart and honest agent you've found her!"

Megan B.

"We own a 100 year old multi-family house with almost all of its original detail in Davis Sq. which we have poured love, thought, resources and care into restoring, and maintaining. We panicked a bit when deciding to rent it out in order to move out of state until we met Stefanie. Our experiences completely echo that of Andrew G. and Jodi K. but from a landlords' perspective. Her vast knowledge of the area, attention to detail and dedication to all parties involved in the transaction really set her apart. She has found two tenants for us, each of whom have commented that the house is the favorite place they've lived thus far. Stefanie is a gifted matchmaker and we highly recommend her!"

Jodi K.

"A year ago we decided to sell our house in Seattle and move to Boston. We'd spent time in Boston before, but not enough to know the nuances of the various neighborhoods. We needed an agent who could do a whole lot more than just help us negotiate on price, and all from 3,000 miles away.

A real estate agent friend of ours pre-screened agents for us, and recommended Stefanie and a few others. I called her and we spent an hour on the phone going over the types of neighborhood we were interested in and the types of things that we were and were not looking for in our next home. Stefanie was not critical of my advanced planning (we were planning on moving in 6-9 months), and at that point, I decided that I had found my agent.

Over the next few weeks, Stefanie compiled lists of towns for us to consider, based on schools, distance to the city center, and the types and prices of housing. She answered countless questions for us, and even drove up to a town and made a video of the area so we could see it for ourselves.

During our visits to Boston, Stefanie arranged house tours for us so we could get out and look at neighborhoods and houses, even though we were not yet ready to buy. She always asked us what we did and didn't like and why so she could fine-tune her understanding of what we were looking for.

After many months, the time was here. Our house in Seattle sold, and we were ready to buy. We toured several houses in several neighborhoods, then we began to narrow our search until we found a house that we loved. Stefanie explained the process in great detail to us (the process of buying a house in Massachusetts is really different than what we did to buy a house in Washington). She answered every question patiently, and she always made sure we knew what was coming next so we were never surprised.

Stefanie helped us negotiate with our sellers, and we were happy with our final price. She'd given us good data to use for comps and other sales in the area (we liked to see the data ourselves), and she gave us her professional opinion of the market. There were some inspection issues, and Stefanie stayed on top of them (even through the horrible winter we're having) to make sure things were done as they should be.

Moving long-distance is extremely stressful, but having an agent as professional, competent, and hard-working as Stefanie helped make it easier. At every step, she went above and beyond what we were expecting. She knew what we wanted almost as well as we did, and she made it all come together in the end. She was an invaluable resource from start to finish, and we were exceedingly pleased with her efforts to help us achieve our goal and settle in to our new house."

Andrew G.

"I recently moved to Boston and was looking for a good real estate agent to show me rental apartments in several neighborhoods. A friend highly recommended Stefanie, and Stefanie did not disappoint. I sent Stefanie a detailed email outlining what I was looking for in an apartment and she clearly did her homework and had a great sense of exactly what I was looking for. Not only did she show me a great selection of apartments in various neighborhoods, all within my price range and with the amenities I wanted, but she provided helpful insight on each neighborhood and living in Boston generally. I never would have found the gorgeous North End apartment where I am now living had it not been for Stefanie's help.

When it came time to submit a rental application, Stefanie helped me negotiate with the landlord and advised me on how to successfully outbid another prospective tenant.

In addition to helping me find an apartment, Stefanie recommended a local moving company that did a fantastic job moving my furniture half way up the East Coast. They even delivered during an epic snowstorm without scratching or breaking a single item.

In sum: if you're looking for a diligent, hardworking, and knowledgeable real estate agent to help you find the perfect Boston apartment, give Stefanie a call."

Alex R.

"It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that we recommend Stefanie. We have had the undue pleasure of getting to know Stefanie as our realtor in buying our first home. To begin, she has a pleasant disposition and sense of humor making it very easy to work with her especially when doing something as stressful as buying your first home. She knows when to be aggressive and tenacious or patient and calm (we were so thankful for the latter).

Stefanie is also highly knowledgeable of the latest trends (which seem to be changing every day) with the macro real estate market as a whole and that within Massachusetts, especially Boston. It was great to have someone who could act as a tremendous resource to two people with little or no frame of reference. She guided us completely through every step of the buying process and went well ahove and beyond what she probably does for a typical buyer to assuage our sellers' agent and secure the home of our dreams. For this, we will always be eternally grateful. It is safe to say that we would not be owning the home in which we live if not for her efforts.
 
Stefanie was also so wonderful about listening to our needs, concerns, and worries as we moved forward with purchasing a home. She was highly professional and respectful of our time. We would recommend her to anybody looking to buy a home, especially a first-time buyer due to her plethora of knowledge of the industry. Stefanie was a hard and effective worker and a tireless advocate on our  behalf. The two of us plan on approaching her the next time we are looking to make a residential real estate transaction."

Andrea J.

"Stefanie was so wonderful to work with and made the stressful task of finding an apartment seem like a breeze.  I had two short days to find a place in Boston and she smoothed every single bump in the road.  I would not be in the fabulous apartment I have now without her!  If and when I move again she is the first person I will go to."

Michael B.

"My two roommates and I were having some trouble finding a new apartment for when our current lease was ending at the end of January. Finding a new place around this time can be pretty difficult but Stefanie made the whole process stress free. She made us feel as though we were the only ones that she was working with and went out of her way to find us the perfect place. She made sure to be on top of things so that we did not miss any opportunities. We recommend Stefanie to anyone who is looking for an apartment in the Boston area at any time of the year. She will make sure that you find just the place that you are looking for. We will be sure to return to her the next time we are looking for an apartment."
