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! |

| 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. | ||

| 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! | ||

| 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! |

| 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! | ||

| 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. |

| 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. |

| 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. |
