Hello all, My wife and I were first time home buyers and decided to reach out to Stephanie. From the very start she wanted to know about us and the background we came from to develop a good working relationship. Everytime we had a question she had the answer and was always lighting fast with a response. We only had 2 days available for house hunting and she was able to show us about 20-25 homes in about a 7 hour time frame.
If you are a client of hers, you will definitely feel like her number one priority. When it came time to close out on the house we wanted, Stephanie was there for that portion as well and even gave us a little gift after it was all over. If you are looking for a realtor that has years of experience, great communication skills, knows the Tampa area, and a true professional that actually cares about you as a client, Stephanie LeFew is the right match for you. Can't recommend her enough, especially for first time home buyers!

Stephanie was very patient with us. We were completing a move from out of state and she had been assisting us with house searching for over 9 months. She let us see homes in many different areas before we finally found our ideal location.

I had the best experience ever looking for a new home. Making a big purchase can be very stressful when you are trying to stay in a price range. Stephanie was great at tailoring my search to my needs and wish list. She is very professional, flexible, and accommodated my schedule. My family is new to the area and had no knowledge of the area, therefore, we took the time to get to know the different areas. Stephanie was very patient and understanding of the time it took to make my decision. When we made our final decision Stephanie made sure everyone was on top of all the paperwork and keep things moving in a timely manner. I cannot say enough about her character and service.

Steph is one of the most thoughtful & caring human beings I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with. She made the entire home buying experience stress-free & fast. She's well-connected, knowledgable, & never hesitates to go the distance (literally)!

Stephanie was such a blessing to us! We had only a few days to find a house before we went back to NC. She worked day and night with us to find the perfect home, and was very kind, patient, professional, and diligent. She continued to help us with what we could not do from NC right up to closing. She truly went above and beyond for us and cared about us. We highly recommend her, and now consider her a dear friend.

Stephanie is a great person as well as a great realtor. She is fast and efficient. Responds quickly to any request. I have referred her to my friends and one of them sold their house immediately for more than they were asking!

Stephanie helped us sell our home and buy the perfect one for our growing family. She was very knowledgeable, prompt, friendly and communicated frequently via phone and text. She helped us through issues with the buyer and seller. She truly cares about you and not just the sale. That means a lot in our book and we would recommend her to anyone.
