With over $1.5 Billion in sales, her results stand apart. Her rankings aren't titles; they're the result of more than two decades of disciplined work, strategic thinking, and client-centered advocacy that consistently outperform the market. In business, exceptional service isn't a tagline -- it's the standard Casey demands of herself and her team. The Sternsmith Group is known for sharp listening, unwavering integrity, and elite negotiation skills that protect clients' equity in every scenario. Casey leads with the philosophy: "Love what you do, or do something else." That passion is visible in every interaction and reflected in the team culture she built.

    Working with Casey was an absolute pleasure! Being first-time homebuyers, she always made sure my husband and I fully understood each step of the process. From day one, she answered every question we had, no matter how small or silly it may have sounded. She even took our calls and messages while she was on vacation, which speaks volumes about her dedication to her clients. What truly set Casey apart, though, was how thoughtful she was during our home search. She brought toy cars to keep our son entertained during showings, giving us the chance to really focus on each home. It was a small gesture, but it made a huge difference for us. We actually put in three separate offers on the same house, and each time, Casey helped us navigate the changing circumstances with patience, strategy, and unwavering support. She walked us through each offer, explained our options clearly, and helped us stay hopeful even when things felt uncertain. Thanks to her expertise and determination, we ultimately landed that very house aEUR" and we could not be more grateful! If you want a realtor who goes above and beyond in every possible way, Casey is the one. Were so thankful for all she did for our family!

    Tess was great. Always very responsive and patient with us. We had a lot to do before putting the house on the market and she was really helpful getting it all done. We couldn't have had our house show so well without her and Casey Sternsmith. They are a super team.

    When it came time to sell our home of 40 years, we were referred to Tess Salter of the Sternsmith Group through a friend. My wife and I have never sold a home so the process was a bit intimidating to say the least! Tess patiently walked us through the process from the initial consultation to closing of escrow. She is well connected to landscapers, painters and various other tradespeople and suggested improvements that would make our home stand out in a very crowded market. Tess took care of all of the scheduling and got improvements done at very competitive prices. After one open house weekend we received five offers. Tess thoroughly compared the offers and then presented them to us explaining the pros and cons of each. Due to her excellent negotiating skills, we ended up selling the house for close to 9% over asking price after a short eight days on the market! You need not look any further for a trusted realtor to make your selling process pain free! We highly recommend Tess Salter and the Sternsmith Group.
