Stephanie has been helping over a year to find a place. She checked in with me even when I haven't responded to her. When we finally found a place she was very engaging and responded to us even after hours. Thank you Stephanie for being such a great agent,
we appreciate all the efforts and time you have put in!
My fiancé and I recently purchased our first home with the help of Stephanie and she was amazing! She was very patient with us (we asked a lot of questions) and walked us through every step of the process. She has years of experience and was so easy to
work with. She has also worked with other members of our family and we trusted her fully with this big decision. We highly recommend!
Stephanie was very helpful and kept me updated throughout the whole process of selling my house. Would definitely work with her again and recommend her.
Stephanie was very helpful. And very professional with the transaction.. thank you

Stephanie did a phenomenal job in helping our family find the most beautiful home suitable for our growing family. She wasted no time in finding all the requirements we really needed and helped guide us to finding our dream home. Stephanie not only helped

Stephanie was great. She was available when we needed her.
I'm really greatful for her understanding and patience in explaining things to us throughout the sales process. It was a very emotional process selling the home my wife and I lived in the past 31yrs, she was very understanding.
I prayed and ask God to send me someone who I could trust selling a home to me. God gave me Stephanie name. It was a joy working with her and her knowledge is at the highest level. Thank you again Stephanie!!

Thank you Stephanie,
Stephanie Velez has over 20 years of experience and this was very apparent when she helped me to buy a home. Being a first time buyer, Stephanie who is both a broker and a real estate agent, really educated me on the entire process of buying a home. This
alone removed all my fears about buying a house and making the biggest decision of my life. Also she showed me houses that were reflective of my specific needs and desires. This process help me to narrow down my search to exactly what I really wanted. Then
she worked with the seller and his son and got me the home I wanted even though it was an escrow with someone else! Please know that this is the truth! Also during the process of buying a home, she told me what could be expected during the different stages
of purchasing and escrow. In doing so, I was not only forewarned but prepared. She also helped me to avoid pitfalls. Stephany is not only the consummate negotiator but she is the consummate business woman who is strong, smart, and always a perfect lady. I
was very surprised at the amount of help I received from Stephanie so please consider her as your realestate agent and broker. Thank you Stephanie from Bridgitte Montgomery

Stephanie and her team were always staying on top of it and working closely and proactively with every party involved. We enjoyed the whole process, learning a lot and building up a deep trust and friendship with Stephanie. If you are looking for some reliable,
knowledgeable and productive realtor to work with in the area, no second look, Stephanie is the best choice!
