Buying the Right Home for Your Family | Stephanie K Real Estate

[Full] [Service] Support

My 360 degree approach to purchasing your next home is designed entirely around your current situation, future plans, and individual requirements.

Moving Up?

Your family dynamic is changing, and I’m here to help. I’ll support you on both sides of your transaction. You’ll be empowered through the sale of your current house and the purchase of your new home, so your entire experience is streamlined and stress-free.

I’ll help you determine the ideal functionality and location of your new property, and support you in deciding whether it makes more sense to buy or sell first.

First Time Buyer?

We’re in this together. I love sharing my market wisdom with new prospective homeowners, so you make the right move the first time. I’ll help you choose a community that fits your lifestyle now, and down the road, and educate you about the resale value so you understand the long term implications of your purchase.

I’ll also help you understand important unseen aspects of buying real estate, like zoning regulations or community development projects. You’ll also learn how to choose the right starter home, from convenient condo communities to cozy bungalows.

Major Life Change?

Buying a property in the midst of a major shift can feel daunting, but it can be simple and successful when we work together. I’ve dealt with the full range of real estate scenarios and have the technical understanding to ensure you are protected, fully informed to make confident decisions, and empathetically guided through your experience.

Transitioning to assisted living or a retirement home? Downsizing your space? Relocating to a new neighbourhood? Whatever your unique scenario, I’ll help you find the real estate opportunities that align with your next chapter.

“Outstanding experience working with Steph.

Her expertise, professionalism, & dedication made it seamless. She listened to our needs, provided valuable insights, and negotiated effectively. Steph went above and beyond to ensure we found the perfect home!”

Mahmoud El-Hennawey

“Stephanie is determined and driven.

She guided us, showing different options. Her expertise helped find the perfect home. Then, we were ready to rent out our first condo. Steph helped find the perfect tenants, securing a record-high price.”

Emma Valent

“As a first time buyer, we had a small budget, and big dreams:

A detached house, backyard, garage, finished basement, near transit, the works! We tried on our own, and were constantly outbid. We connected with Stephanie and she listened to our wants/needs, never deterring us from our dreams. She gave us a timeline; we thought she was crazy to think she could find us a home in 2 weeks... but she did, under budget!”
