What clients say about this agent....
Stephanie helped me on purchasing my condo. She was very responsive and did an excellent job of following up for any unanswered questions. She is also very good at researching for any things published regarding the property. I cannot be happier for her service. I certainly will recommend her to my friends who is in the real estate market for looking for a place to buy.
It was an absolute pleasure working with Michelle. Her local knowledge on the real estate market and broad experience, fixing, renting and selling houses was so helpful in getting a great deal on my house and also planning for the future.
After requesting a virtual tour, we were spontaneously matched with Stephanie on the Compass team. Almost immediately after the request, Stephanie set up a call to get to know us and what we were looking for. She shared about herself, her style, and the process during that initial call. From there we planned on working with Stephanie during our home buying journey and are so glad to have made that decision! Stephanie was amazing every step of the way! She organized multiple tours so we could see different types of properties and all parts of the Boulder area, since we were new to Colorado. She was attentive, responsive, straight-forward, and knowledgeable. If she didn't know something, she always figured it out and got the information we needed. Even as we found a home and closed, she continued to be right by our sides. She went above and beyond by reaching out to HOA organizations, city departments, and contractors. I appreciated how she always gave us honest responses and took a very straight-forward approach to the whole process. She was easy to work with and flexible with our not so flexible schedule. Now that we are sitting comfortable in our new home, we miss seeing Stephanie each week!
Michelle was stellar in every way, from start to finish! As fate would have it, just as the negotiations and contract were being created I started a new job and was working very long hours. Michele went over and above taking care of details with the HOA and city and working late hours to be sure and message reminders, updates and details continually. She is simply amazing! Michele has brought together a highly capable and professional team who were delightful to work with. I can't recommend Michele highly enough!
Our family had an exceptional experience with Stephanie as our selling agent. Her professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for clients impressed us. She had unmatched knowledge of the local market, listened to our needs, and provided valuable insight and direction. Communication was prompt, transparent, and personalized. She always went above and beyond advocating for our best interests. Working with Stephanie felt like collaborating with a trusted friend and advisor, and it really felt like she absolutely loves what she does. Highly recommended for a less-stress, highly successful real estate experience in Colorado!
Stephanie listened to my needs and wants in a home. She was patient and thorough. She took the time to answer my many questions and explain the process to me end to end. What she did not have answers for, she was honest about and came back after following up with experts. She gave me the pros and cons of each decision and I felt empowered and knowledgeable throughout the entire process because of her dedication and patience.
Stephanie was fantastic during our whole buying experience. She listened to our requests and showed us properties that met them. Stephanie responded to our questions promptly and went above and beyond by supplying us with information (i.e. market analysis, comps, etc.) that helped us feel confident about our decision to buy. On top of all of that, she drove miles in horrible weather to support us to support and celebrate with us on closing day. Stephanie a great realtor and delightful person to be around. We're happy we found her through Zillow!
I had an excellent experience working with David Mans to search for and buy our mountain home outside of Boulder. Originally, we came to him looking to make a land purchase for a new home build, which he also has extensive knowledge about. David was extremely helpful in identifying the best mountain communities for our lifestyle, which saved a lot of time. In an overwhelming and stressful market, David helped us feel confident and in control at all times. In the end, we got exactly what we were looking for. I am hoping that David will be our realtor for a very long time to come!
Amirah was amazingly patient and willing to work with us towards our goal of buying our house. Rather than rushing us into an offer and picking any old house, Amirah listened to what we were looking for to get us into the home that made us feel comfortable. Amirah has great energy and is an amazing agent!
Stephanie is extremely helpful and responsive. She is knowledgeable and quick to find out the answers to any questions you may have. Stephanie made us feel like we were her top priority at all times. She is flexible and honest. She helped us close on a home that was the perfect fit for us, and even gave us an extremely thoughtful housewarming gift.
