Testimonials

"Stephanie was absolutely wonderful as my agent for my first time purchasing a home. She was patient with my questions and always accessible. I truly felt that she cared most about making sure I was comfortable and happy with the process and my eventual purchase. She was great while showing me listings and giving her insight--including with things I never would have thought about, such as a low bathroom vanity! That level of care continued throughout the offer process up until closing and after, and she was absolutely critical with nego...

"Stephanie was absolutely wonderful as my agent for my first time purchasing a home. She was patient with my questions and always accessible. I truly felt that she cared most about making sure I was comfortable and happy with the process and my eventual purchase. She was great while showing me listings and giving her insight--including with things I never would have thought about, such as a low bathroom vanity! That level of care continued throughout the offer process up until closing and after, and she was absolutely critical with negotiating with the seller and working with my mortgage lender. I cannot imagine having done this without her and she helped make a stressful process so much easier. I cannot recommend her highly enough."

"Stephanie was referred to me by a colleague, and Stephanie walked me through every single step of buying my first home. What initially felt like an overwhelming obstacle was a smooth and mostly painless experience, thanks to Stephanie's guidance. After touring a few homes, she recognized my style and insisted on touring a building that wasn't even on my radar or list -- I immediately fell in love with the building and ultimately waited to buy a unit in that building. It was a co-op, so she talked me through my hesitations of investing ...

"Stephanie was referred to me by a colleague, and Stephanie walked me through every single step of buying my first home. What initially felt like an overwhelming obstacle was a smooth and mostly painless experience, thanks to Stephanie's guidance. After touring a few homes, she recognized my style and insisted on touring a building that wasn't even on my radar or list -- I immediately fell in love with the building and ultimately waited to buy a unit in that building. It was a co-op, so she talked me through my hesitations of investing in a co-op and explained the nuanced differences between a condo and a co-op building. Additionally, she helped me visualize the potential in the unit I eventually purchased. It was clear that it needed many renovations, and though it initially felt like too large of a task to take on for my first home, she helped me weigh out the pros and cons. Now, about half a year later, all the renovations are done, and I'm all moved and settled in. I love that I found a unit below-market in the building of my dreams in the best location in town. Best of all, I was able to customize my unit to my needs and style and stay within my budget. If I ever choose to sell my unit, I anticipate I'll even make a profit! I'm so glad I had Stephanie by my side for my first home purchase."

"We met Stephanie in 2010 when we contacted her after her flyer arrived in our mailbox announcing her recent sales in our neighborhood. We had no intention of selling our condo at the time but we wanted to be ready when the time came. Stephanie stayed in touch with us in the most patient and professional way (for seven years!) until we were ready to sell. Fast forward to 2017 when we finally committed to selling our condo, Stephanie stepped right in to get our condo sold, at a great price, in a timely manner, and find us a new home. Ste...

Fast forward to 2017 when we finally committed to selling our condo, Stephanie stepped right in to get our condo sold, at a great price, in a timely manner, and find us a new home. Stephanie was exceptionally responsive, organized, thorough, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. Stephanie was always a few steps ahead of the process and kept us informed every step of the way. She stepped beyond her role as realtor, becoming a mentor, advisor and friend to us. She wears many hats and wears them very well! At one showing she was even prepared with a game to entertain our children while my husband and I toured and discussed the home at our leisure. She was key to keeping the home-selling/buying process stress-free and enjoyable. What I appreciated most was her commitment to us and genuine interest towards finding us a home in a neighborhood we love. We're so grateful that flyer showed up in our mailbox seven years ago and brought us to Stephanie."

"We would not be homeowners without Stephanie’s help! Stephanie was patient, professional and compassionate throughout the entire process. As first-time homebuyers with significant student debt, Stephanie anticipated the unique challenges we faced, listened to us, understood what we needed in our first home, and help set realistic expectations. With more than 15 years' experience, Stephanie’s expert knowledge of the market, attention to detail, and timeliness, helped us navigate the highly competitive environment and frequent multiple-o...

"We would not be homeowners without Stephanie’s help! Stephanie was patient, professional and compassionate throughout the entire process. As first-time homebuyers with significant student debt, Stephanie anticipated the unique challenges we faced, listened to us, understood what we needed in our first home, and help set realistic expectations. With more than 15 years' experience, Stephanie’s expert knowledge of the market, attention to detail, and timeliness, helped us navigate the highly competitive environment and frequent multiple-offer situations in the DMV. Stephanie’s strategies and counsel helped us prepare the best offer possible to maximize the likelihood of success. Her advice was critical in deciding how much to offer, and she always placed good value above all else. From Day 1 through closing, Stephanie was our advocate and always put our interests as buyers first; she made sure we were fairly treated by the sellers, lender, appraiser, and co-op board. Now that we have moved in, we are confident we paid an extremely fair price and couldn’t be happier with our new home."

"A five star rating is not enough for Stephanie. Her role as Realtor was executed with absolute professionalism, confidence, and tact. The most lasting impression I have, however, is how she performed with aplomb so many other intangible roles during a very complicated process - mentor, coach, therapist, negotiator, and all-around reliable friend. And all on her own volition. There are many easy boxes to check to qualify if a realtor is “good”. With Stephanie, it’s those boxes and the difficult boxes that get checked - most of which you...

The most lasting impression I have, however, is how she performed with aplomb so many other intangible roles during a very complicated process - mentor, coach, therapist, negotiator, and all-around reliable friend. And all on her own volition. There are many easy boxes to check to qualify if a realtor is “good”. With Stephanie, it’s those boxes and the difficult boxes that get checked - most of which you didn’t even know you valued until she had already taken care of them. The example stories I could share to prove this opinion - and there are countless ones - all conclude like this: trust Stephanie. I learned very quickly that having full trust in her was the best and easiest decision of the whole process. She was responsive, quick, and exact even during our complicated two-fold transaction with a hundred plot twists. We may not be moving again for a while but we’ll know that, when it’s time, our minds will be at ease knowing Stephanie is on our side."

"Stephanie's personality, knowledge, honesty, patience, professionlism, attention to detail and responsiveness is what sets her apart from every realtor. This is my husband and I second time working with Stephanie and again best decision made because she is the best.

"Stephanie recently helped my wife and me find and purchase our first home. She engaged with us during the earliest stages of our search and was patient and tireless to the end - through closing and our first months in the house. Stephanie was available whenever we needed her and responsive to all our needs and questions. She was attentive to details but also focused on our big picture objectives as well as the emotional side of the house search and the human elements that invariably factor into the process.

"Stephanie is the consummate, professional expert in real estate, facilitating relocation from a different region of the country to the Washington DC area. After carefully listening to and observing our preferences, she located the perfect residence to transition from a traditional home of 25 years to an elegant townhouse. Stephanie successfully negotiated a favorable contract and provided comprehensive resources to ensure a seamless, on-time closing.

"Stephanie helped me find my current home a few years ago. I began my search wanting to move into the District from outside the Beltway. She helped me do a good search and then to realize that I could get what I wanted in Old Town Alexandria and in the process, stretch my money a little bit to get more space. It was great advice! She helped me get new hardwood floors in the bedrooms thrown in by the builder and was an expert guide through the process with whatever questions I sent her way.

"Our house in D.C. sold within eight hours of listing. Stephanie was great to work with. We implemented all of her suggestions to include some home improvements, staging, listing price, and negotiating tactics which were definitely instrumental in getting a quick sale. She was hands on, very responsive and helpful every step of the way. I would definitely recommend her services. While selling a home can be very stressful, Stephanie made the process much easier and more pleasant than we had anticipated."

"Stephanie was our saving grace during our first home-buying process. From start to finish, she was incredibly attentive to our endless questions about real estate, walking us through every detail and explaining the ins and outs. Not only is she very knowledgeable about the local market, but she’s also extremely competitive, which helped us put forth a smart, reasonable, and attractive offer that beat out multiple others. Working with Stephanie was the best decision we made to find our first home."

"It was a pleasure partnering with Stephanie in selling my 1st home. Not only did Stephanie help me sell my 1st home, she helped my buy 1st home (almost 8 years ago). This goes to show how much confidence and trust I had in Stephanie to get the job done. Stephanie is very easy to work with, she listens, is aware of what is going in the market, and looks out for clients best interest! I would definitely recommend Stephanie to anyone who is looking to buy/sell a home!"

"Your guidance and recommendations were invaluable in preparing the house for sale. Your advice on what to do and not to do, connecting us with superb contractors and vendors to make the desired improvements, getting estimates, checking on the house, and keeping us up to date through the sales and closing process were all so greatly appreciated. That this whole process went so smoothly is a credit to your dedication and professionalism."

"Stephanie was a motivated agent when we met at an open house. Her follow-up was amazing. She found a lot of houses to show me and was very flexible on times to show them (even picked me up from a work event once). I couldn’t be happier with the house and neighborhood she helped me find and her services. I highly recommend Stephanie if you are looking for a go-getter - which is needed in the DC market!"

"I cannot recommend Stephanie enough! As a first-time home buyer, I had a lot of questions and found Stephanie to be very extremely knowledgeable and patient throughout the process. She worked with me to find the right home for my budget and was always incredibly responsive. I really appreciated her expert advice and positive attitude."

"Stephanie was great! We recently moved to Arlington from out of state and she was very thorough in explaining to us the whole process of home buying up here. She is very personable and has become a friend of ours through the process. She also recommended a contractor to do some projects on our house prior to moving in."

"We've purchased and sold several homes previously, and could not have been happier working with Stephanie Bredahl. She is very knowledgeable about the market, responsive, and extremely pleasant. We highly recommend her."

"Stephanie was great! She was very attentive during the selling process, had all the right resources and I didn’t have to worry about a thing! I would recommend her services to anyone!"

"Very professional, knowledgeable of the DC market, honest and diligent!"
