Brandon Fields

We had the pleasure of working with Stephanie Sills for both the sale of our property in Montara, CA, and the subsequent purchase of a new home in El Granada, CA. From the very first meeting, it was clear that Stephanie possesses an in-depth knowledge of the Half Moon Bay coastside real estate market. Her extensive experience was evident in every aspect of the process, and we felt confident that we were in the best possible hands.

Stephanie’s professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to her clients truly set her apart. She went above and beyond to ensure that we felt informed and comfortable at every step of both the selling and buying processes. Her expertise allowed us to seamlessly transition between transactions with minimal stress, which was no small feat given the complexities of coastal properties.

One of the standout qualities we appreciated was her exceptional communication. Stephanie was always quick to respond, whether it was answering our questions or providing updates on the progress of each deal. She kept us well-informed throughout, ensuring that there were no surprises along the way. Her transparency and honesty made us feel secure in every decision.

Moreover, Stephanie’s negotiation skills were invaluable. She advocated for our best interests at every turn, managing to secure excellent outcomes on both sides of the transaction. She understood the nuances of the market and used that insight to help us make strategic choices, both in terms of selling our old property and acquiring our new one.

We were particularly impressed with her ability to navigate tight timelines, especially during the home-buying process. Stephanie’s resourcefulness and network of contacts allowed us to complete both transactions efficiently, without sacrificing quality or attention to detail.

Stephanie exceeded our already high expectations, and we can confidently say that anyone looking to buy or sell property on the coastside will be in great hands with her.

We cannot recommend her highly enough!

We just worked with Stephanie to help sell our house on the coast. We have used many real estate agents over the years, and Stephanie is truly exceptional among them. When she first came to our house for the initial consultation, it was obvious how knowledgeable and experienced she is. She did a thorough walk-through of the house and gave us excellent suggestions on what should be repaired or updated in order to get the maximum selling price for our house. With her knowledge of the local market, she helped us optimize the timing on listing our house. When we decided to move up our timeline she kept us calm, focused and organized, keeping track of and checking up on the home's repairs and styling. With Stephanie's guidance, we were able to list our house on our target date.

As for the actual sale of our house, we could not have imagined a more excellent outcome. Because of Stephanie's intelligent advice, savvy business strategy, and sharp negotiation skills, our house sold in one day for well over the asking price.

It was truly a pleasure working with Stephanie. She is honest, very hard-working, and an excellent communicator. My husband and I highly recommend Stephanie!

Stephanie helped us with a sale in 2021, followed by a purchase in 2022 (including the rental we lived in between the two homes). We were very happy with our experience and thus it was a no-brainer to contact her when my family decided to sell my parents' home of 55+ years earlier this year. Stephanie handled all aspects of the process with professionalism, genuine care and true partnership with my family. She was always available for any questions, and she was especially patient and kind as we navigated the sale with my 86 year old mother who lives out of the area. The entire transaction was seamless and smooth. Our family is extremely grateful to Stephanie.

From start to finish, A-Z, Stephanie is the complete package!
We contacted her a year before placing our home on the market to consult about what improvements were worth making and what we should not bother with. Stephanie carefully evaluated the house and yard and offered very detailed and reasonable advice on what would best prepare the house for sale.
A year later we were planning our move and contacted her to help get the house ready and on the market. She helped with every aspect of the process, from recommendations for local contractors when requested, to decisions about staging and pricing. Stephanie helped us set a realistic timeline to get the many small details involved in preparing a house for sale scheduled. We did not always use contractors recommended by her, but when we did, they were very professional and did a good job. She has been working in real estate on the coast for many years and has solid, reliable contacts and a strong sense of what the market is doing on any given day.
No question or concern we posed was too small or too large for Stephanie. She always responded promptly with solid advice and recommendations and was always pleasant, patient and highly knowledgeable.
She helped us sell our house quickly, for a good price, in a tumultuous market. Her support kept us from getting overwhelmed or frustrated throughout what could have been a very confusing time. Stephanie did all she could to make the transition to our new home as smooth as possible.
If you are planning to buy or sell a property and you want the best possible experience, we highly recommend you make Stephanie part of your process!

Stephanie knows the real estate market extremely well and advised us to get our Palo Alto house on the market as quickly as possible during the slower season. She gave us great advice on preparing our house for sale, so good in fact fact that the listing created by her team was featured in a nationwide Compass newsletter.
We were ecstatic that house sold quickly for the desired price, largely due to her experience and expertise. We highly recommend Stephanie.

Thomas McBride

We had a great experience working with Stephanie to find our family home. Stephanie is friendly and responsive, and she really keyed into what was important to us. Her familiarity with the coastside neighborhoods and schools made her a helpful resource for understanding what our lives might be like in different properties. When it came time to make an offer, she was able to come up with a competitive bid and strategy. We’re very excited for our new house, thanks Stephanie!

I can't imagine a better home buying experience! Stephanie is exceptional. She was very patient and took the time to explain the process and copious amount of documentation. She also connected us with excellent specialists that helped us gage the work the house needed. She is a compelling communicator and strategic thinker - I can't imagine a more skillful negotiator. I truly felt that she was working really hard for us and I never felt pressure about any house she showed us. It is important to her that her clients find the right house for them. As first time buyers, there was a lot we didn't know. Stephanie looked out for our interests all the way through closing. She suggested ways we could save money during closing and worked with the seller's agent to have everything done. She not only did right by us at key milestones, but also when we weren't looking. She operates with integrity, skill, efficiency, strategy, and good humor. I really couldn't recommend her any more highly!
