Description:

WORKING WITH FIRST TIME BUYERS Stephanie gained a unique knowledge of first-time buyer financing and down payment assistance programs through her work with a local nonprofit housing developer at the peak of the foreclosure crisis in Minneapolis. Her knowledge base has not only allowed her to help buyers attain homeownership, but in many neighborhoods it has also helped her sellers achieve a sale. As Stephanie points out: "Buying your first house is not just about getting a place to live - it's about getting a base started for your financial future. Buying the right house the first time around means you may enjoy it more, stay in it longer, or see a better return when you eventually do decide to move. With interest rates at all-time lows, this is a fantastic market for buyers to achieve homeownership and hopefully start to build equity for the future. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to be a part of the process." THINKING OF SELLING YOUR HOME? Stephanie's knowledge of homes, staging, use of quality, wide-angle digital photography, and straight-forward approach to working with sellers has made Stephanie a favorite agent among sellers. She advocates for sellers to create a "plan" to effectively move forward. In her own words, Stephanie says: "Sellers need honesty in today's market. They need to have a realistic plan to prepare their home for sale, a realistic price, and an agent who enjoys being a salesperson. High-quality photos, complimentary staging and repair advice, and consistent marketing of the properties with broker opens, public open houses, reverse prospect searches, high-tech tools, and old-fashion networking are key to getting a home sold in any market. If a client's goal is to buy the next house, we also need to have a plan for how they will achieve their goals when there is often limited or no equity in their current home." In addition to being named Rookie of the Year and Listing Agent of the Year by her broker in 2010, Stephanie recently achieved her 2012 business plan goal of closing 50 real estate transactions in a single year. Her formula to success? "Keep your focus on what you want to achieve, and don't let what others are doing - or not doing - distract you from your goals. Just get the job done." EXPERIENCE AND EDUCATION Prior to becoming a Realtor, Stephanie had over 15 years of sales experience in the insurance industry and spent 2 years working with a nonprofit real estate developer, coordinating an effort to buy, renovate, and resell foreclosed homes in Minneapolis. Stephanie graduated Summa Cum Laude from St. Cloud State University with a degree in Business Management. She enjoys restoring old homes, collecting antiques, gardening, and long walks with her husband, Robert, and their dog Hudson Looking for more info?

About:

Stephanie gained a unique knowledge of first-time buyer financing and down payment assistance programs through her work with a local nonprofit housing developer. Her knowledge base not only allowed her to help buyers attain homeownership, but in many neighborhoods it has helped sellers she was working with obtain a sale. Her interest in learning the basics of commercial real estate transactions allowed her to cross-over to bank-owned listings. And her highly-regarded networking skills have helped many buyers obtain the property they desired without it even being on the market. Stephanie treats her real estate career as her own small business, despite being with a well-known brokerage. Like many small business owners, Stephanie writes a business plan each year and updates it in response to known and anticipated changes in the market. Since her start in 2009, Stephanie has gone on to closed over 100 real estate transactions. She has successfully represented both buyers and sellers in today's market, with an emphasis on listings. Stephanie says: "Sellers need honesty in today's market. They need to have a realistic plan to prepare their home for sale, and they need to know the true sale price of their home. High-quality photos, complimentary staging and repair advice, and consistent marketing of the properties with broker opens, public open houses, reverse prospect searches, high-tech tools, and old-fashion networking are key to getting a home sold in any market. If a client's goal is to buy the next house, we need to have a plan for how they will achieve their goals when there is often limited or no equity in their home." Stephanie graduated Summa Cum Laude from St. Cloud State University with a degree in Business Management. She spent her post-college years selling property and casualty insurance before going to work for a non-profit housing developer to assist with addressing foreclosures in her community. She became a full-time Realtor in 2009. Always interested in technology and digital photography, she converted to being a "Mac" person thanks to her husband, who is an Apple Certified systems administrator.
