Stefani and her team worked tirelessly, for two years, to find us our dream home. My husband and I are exceedingly picky and specific, often questioning whether that dream home even existed. Stefani insisted that it did, making sure to show us every property that came close to what we wanted, without ever pushing us to take anything that was less than perfect. Her hard work, patience, and perseverance paid off immeasurably; she not only secured our dream home for us, she did so while significantly lowering its price (though we were so in love with it, we’d have gladly paid the asking price). If we ever decide to move, Stefani will be our first call (however, seeing that she did such a fantastic job the first time around, we highly doubt we’ll need her services again). If you are looking for a real estate agent who genuinely cares about your wants, needs, and wishes and is ready, willing, and able to dedicate the heart and hard work necessary to make your dream a reality, Stefani Berkin is the only call you’ll ever have to make. We could not give a higher recommendation.
