"Deserves 10 stars! Stephanie is an exceptional real estate agent. She is a friendly, kind and patient person with integrity. I never felt pressured during the process and sensed she really wanted to help me find what was best for ME. She understands the nuances of the business and helped me with small and big details that came up along the way. She was on top of all the moving parts of the process and was in touch regularly and promptly by phone, text and email. What impressed me the most were two things: one she really cared about me the buyer, and two, she really advocated hard for the seller to choose me as I was not their strongest offer - mine was a contingency that hadn't even listed yet. But the seller did choose me, all because of Stephanie going to bat for me. I will be forever grateful. I can’t say enough good things about Stephanie and I highly recommend her."  Mary - Buyer

"Stephanie Cowan is the Superwoman of real estate!   Stephanie has been my realtor for over 12 years and has helped me buy, sell and even rent property. Her intelligence around timing of the market, correct pricing and negotiation is incredible. When you couple that with the genuine care that she displays for the people that she works with, you have one of the most amazing human beings that you will ever have the pleasure of interacting with." Warren - Seller

"With no shortage of friends, neighbors and family members in the real estate field, there is no dearth of people who can simply buy or sell your home for you...fine if you want just an average ho-hum experience. If however you wish to be wowed by a person and team that not only supercede expectations, but set a new bar for excellence in real estate; let me introduce you to Stephanie Cowan and her team. Stephanie recently represented our family as sellers during this very tumultuous time in the North County real estate market and in spite of, the process from our perspective could not have been any smoother or more delightful. You know why? Stephanie is an absolute pro. She not only addressed the pedantic and obvious steps that most can do (listing the home, planting a sign, etc) - but then anticipated and handled all the multitude of minutiae that cropped up along the way. It was evident from the word "go" she was not going to rest until the job was efficiently, seamlessly and professionally done; she wouldn't rest until we were 100% satisfied. From staging to final execution of a contract, she offered pragmatic tips, words of encouragement and absolutely crushed it- both serving as the gentle hand guiding the entire process but also focused on solving the details that can often derail things. Bonus was her talented internal team as well as the impressive array of genuinely talented/skilled and reasonable contractors (painters, electrician, handyman, etc) at the ready for the micro ordels that could have been major holdups had she not been there to handle. She did this with much aplomb and most importantly, without lobbing a heavy burden on us as sellers-super helpful if you have other responsibilities like kiddos or a full time job;-). If you are in the market either as buyer or seller, do yourself a favor and give Stephanie a call- you won't be disappointed! - Mike - Seller

★★★★★
"Stephanie is the best! She was thorough and professional and great to work with. She expertly helped us navigate a competitive bidding process for our dream home. In the end our offer was selected and when we met the sellers, they told us that Stephanie’s persistence and communication put our offer in the lead. She was honest, forthright, and very responsive throughout the entire process. Once we were in escrow, Stephanie was always available and happy to meet us at the house the multiple times that my family wanted to go to see it again. And once we moved in, she continued to stay in touch to make sure that we had everything that we needed. I highly recommend Stephanie Cowan. - landaheis

★★★★★
"I can’t begin to explain how far above and beyond Stephanie goes for her clients.Having worked w another agent first I was shocked when I began working with Stephanie at the complete upgrade in service and knowledge. She guided us in purchasing our first home and managed to advise us of the perfect time to buy- purchasing a home for the lowest Per sq ft price anyone had heard of in our neighborhood. We closed with tons of equity and within a month the house had appreciated outside of our budget. When we sold she once again got the timing just right and sold our house for a 50% PROFIT after only 4 yrs!!! She took care of everything- smoothly turning my mess of a child filled home into a perfectly curated and beautiful turn key property. The sale had many bumps (not due to her) and she diligently worked every day to make sure it went thru. This is a woman who k ones how to get things done and is well respected in her field. I would recommend her to anyone. Best of all she is a joy to work with. I would hate to ever work w another agent given the top shelf service she provides and the true love and care she puts into her work.


★★★★★
"My husband and I were looking to buy and sell a home in this crazy market and knew we needed an area specialist who could craft an individualized strategy to guide us through this transition - and boy did we find her! Stephanie was so thoughtful to give us a personal guided tour of the San Elijo Hills showing us the different pockets that would meet our family’s needs. She knew the various floor plans, trails, schools, and so much more - we knew we were in good hands. Stephanie is very connected in all aspects of the real estate arena that made us feel so comfortable each step of the way. She is very patient, professional, responsive, and truly authentic. With all of her personal touches throughout both transactions, we felt her genuine connection to our family’s journey. Stephanie ultimately scored us an unforgettable off market deal and sold our home over list price! My husband and I are so grateful for all her hard work, dedication, knowledge and humor - it makes for a more pleasurable experience when we all can share a few laughs along the way. ;) We could not have found our dream home in the Hills without her and would absolutely recommend Stephanie - she rocks!


★★★★★
"We worked with Stephanie to sell our first house and we are SO glad we did! She sold our house for much higher than asking, so much so that we were elated with how incredible the deal turned out. In addition, we were out of town on the East Coast during the entire process and she took care of every detail, which we really appreciated. Stephanie is a hard worker, an expert on the market and has a great attitude. We were lucky we found her and will certainly use her on our future transactions!"

★★★★★
"Stephanie is excellent! She helped us both buy and sell our home in an extremely hot market with success on both sides. We received significantly over what anyone in our area has received on the sale and were very happy with her guidance throughout the process. What I like most about Stephanie is her patience. We had a ton of questions and she showed us a lot of houses before we were ready to make an offer. We never felt pressured and always felt like she had our best interests in mind. Once we got to the offer stage, she provided excellent advice on current market conditions and how to write a competitive offer. That coupled with her deep network of referrals (lender, landscaping, etc.) make Stephanie an excellent asset. Stephanie knows San Elijo like the back of her hand and I'd highly recommend anyone looking there (or north county) to give Stephanie a call!" - Josh

★★★★★
"My wife and I have worked with Stephanie Cowan for several years having purchased and sold multiple homes with her. Stephanie is a pleasure to work with as she knows the local market, is current with buying and selling strategies and makes the real estate transaction experience simple. She is well organized, responsive, provides timely information, skillful in negotiations and is professional. In short, we highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate in the local market." - Brent

★★★★★
"Stephanie Cowan listed and Sold my house. I always felt as she is like a friend rather than my agent, just because the way she cared about my house and the look of it. Stephanie has the knowledge of the area and the expertise that guided me through the process. her little touches made a big difference in the appearance of my house. Stephanie is smart, friendly and most important is her honesty. I recommend Stephanie to any one who is serious about selling their homes." - Abe

★★★★★
"My husband and I cannot put into words how thankful we were to work with Stephanie. Her professionalism and communication is unparalleled. She truly took the time to listen, provide valuable insight, and help us sort through each decision. As a local agent, she is highly knowledgeable and is a true expert in her field. To top it all off, she is kind, sensitive, and extremely accommodating to our family. We would work with her again and again." - Maureen

★★★★★
"This is the second time we've worked with Stephanie and both times she's been a great help and someone we could lean on throughout the process. Being English, we had a lot of questions around the US buying and selling process, as it's different, and Stephanie was a great help with this." - James
