Stephanie is no stranger to the Real Estate Industry. She started in 2006 where she opened a successful title company in Plano and Carrollton. She gained the knowledge to not only close transactions, but to create strong relationships with lenders, buying and selling agents. Her Title Company was acquired by an Underwriter and they promoted her to run their Foreclosure Division in California and Texas. She admired the industry so much that she decided to become a Real Estate agent. Stephanie prides herself on creating a safe environment for feedback and suggestions. She is sympathetic to the fact that the sale her client’s home may very well be the biggest financial transaction they have ever taken part in. Her tough negotiating skills allow sellers to get the absolute most for your property under any circumstance. She is extremely passionate about marketing properties. She personally builds websites to drive traffic to her client’s homes and owns over 100 domain names. Before her real estate career, she was a Garland Police Officer. She hosted a local television show, “Crime Watch Live” and “Police Beat”. During her law enforcement career, she specialized in targeting neighborhood crimes as a licensed crime prevention expert. Her top priority is to take care of her client's needs by building relationships through trust and with integrity, one house at a time.
