“Stephanie and the NextDoor team helped us work through home search, offer, negotiations multiple times until we were able to find a home that suited our desired location, features, and price-value. We appreciate their patience as we were being introduced to the area which required a significant amount of investigation to understand the local options, price ranges, and limitations during a market of consistently increasing home prices. Their focus is on the buyer and their needs (spoken and unspoken)… keep it up. That will continue to propel you in the right direction. ”
“Very helpful and a pleasure to work with. ”
“Stephanie is AMAZING!! Best realtor in town I would recommend her to anyone! She is so professional and goes above and beyond!”
“Stephenie is the Real deal. She knows how to take care of her client. Her communication skills is top notch, she answers the phone if she is not with another client and returns ALL correspondence. She helped us ALL the way to get the home of our dreams. I will work with her OVER and OVER again. ”
“Stephanie was awesome selling our home, it’s sold in 6 days! She always knew how to handle the situation. I would highly recommend her to my family and friends! Thank you very much for everything!!!”
“Extremely knowledgeable, great communications and on top of everything. Great personality and easy to work with.”
“I warned Stephanie Ray when she took us on as clients that I was likely going to be one of her greatest challenges. We were currently living in a perfectly nice home with no real need to move, other than my long-held desire to live in a certain neighborhood and renovate a home from top to bottom. But it couldn’t be just any home. There was a long list of must-haves and have-nots, and I was quick to know whether a house was right or wrong based on feeling alone. Before meeting Stephanie, we had left one agent because she was not the right fit, and another because our needs were not being met. Needless to say, I came into our relationship with high standards. And immediately, Stephanie exceeded them and then some! Stephanie went toe-to-toe with me on the little details and the types of homes I was looking at. She truly listened to me and made sure that she didn’t waste my time with anything other than exactly what I was asking for. I am confident that her relationship-driven approach allowed her to understand me as both a person and a buyer, in a way that most agents rarely take the time to do. Her patience to stand by me as I turned down house after house—to no fault of Stephanie’s but because it was just not right—is a true testament to her character. She made herself available to me at a moment’s notice, always making sure that I would not miss out on an opportunity to view an in-demand home during a very hot seller’s market. Her love for people and what she does is evident and it shines through in the level of care you get when working with her. Stephanie’s responsibilities as an agent were to represent our best interests in a real estate transaction; however, I can honestly say that she went so far above and beyond that—countless times I witnessed her put the needs of others before her own—real estate or otherwise. When looking for an agent, it would be in your best interest to work with Stephanie, and that goes for more than just the house!”
“If I could have selected more stars to highlight just how incredible our experience with Stephanie Ray was, I most certainly would have. Stephanie goes above and beyond in her capacities as a realtor—not only to make sure that your home sells for top dollar, but also to ensure that you remain as stress-free as possible during what is undeniably one of the most trying life-events for anyone. Whether it is offering her own personal time to help you pack, or calmly talking you off the ledge when it all feels like too much, Stephanie makes herself available to you, day or night. It always surprised me when she casually mentioned another client, because honestly, I always felt like I was her only one! She truly made me feel like her number one priority. All that, while managing to be the successful owner/broker of her own firm, an incredible mother of three, and a loving wife! Can you say crushing it? My husband was formerly an Officer in the Air Force, so this was not our first, second or third move, so I can say with complete confidence and experience to back it up—there is no better agent out there than Stephanie! The level of service you get with Stephanie and Next Door Realty comes from the heart, and it is apparent that she cares about so much more than just your home. ”
“I am grateful for my experience with Stephanie Ray on my new home purchase. This was my first home purchase and she helped me through this process which would have been overwhelming if I had tried to navigate through this process on my own without her services. The step by step process was explained in a very clear and concise manner and she was always available to answer any questions about any concerns or anything I may have needed more information about. My work schedule can be hectic at times and having her represent me helped move things along when I may not have been available. During this current market, it would have been very difficult to work through the home buying process. She is also a wonderful person and a amazing wife and mother. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking to buy a new home.”
“Stephanie was very patient and hard working. She always responded quickly, answered all questions with knowledge and took a lot of time working with me. I highly recommend her and I will be sending referrals to her.”
“Stephanie is the absolute best! With my husband and I being first time homebuyers we were a bit nervous, but she guided us through the whole process seamlessly! ”
“Stephanie is the simply a dream come true. The amount of knowledge, dedication, patience, and passion she showed up with day after day, truly made for the most comfortable and confident experience we could have ever imagined in purchasing our first, DREAM home. We could not be more pleased! Thank you, Stephanie! ”
“Stephanie was awesome she understood my needs to help me find the perfect home in today’s crazy housing market! She was always there to meet me for last minute showings, and made sure I was well informed in every step of the way. ”
