Stephanie is my all-time favorite real estate person. What stands out for me in a top 10 list: 1) She knows the market 2) She has a host of connections for all the getting your home ready for sale and to getting your new home up to speed as you move in 3) She is proactive, responsive and follows up 4) She goes way over expectations on keeping ahead of the next steps 5) Great communication skills (Calls, Texts and Emails) 6) I think she is part Psychologist. There is a lot of emotion in selling and buying a house. She balanced my and my wife's expectations well. She was the calm port in the storm bringing up considerations from both the logical and emotional side of buying/selling. 7) She's honest and lets you know what she is thinking. (including about your decisions) 8) She has A lot of experience which resulted in looking at options I had not considered. Also, she was able to head off any risks or "got ya" through her experience with types of things to think about or do. 9) She is trustworthy. She proved to be my biggest source of information I needed to make a decision to make the biggest purchase of my life AND feel good about it as the right thing. I have NO buyer's remorse. I love my new house. 10) She's just good people. This process is stressful, can be scary has a lot of moving parts. We looked at houses for 3 years, in no rush, and she never pressured us and was always helpful. Then, when the ONE house we really wanted came up, boom she was there to make it happen in 4 days. (It went on market and was in a competitive best and final by day 3 on the market) Working with Stephanie hands down the bar could not be set any higher. Do yourself a favor and call her. You will not regret it. Best of luck on your home search.

We felt like we were treated with respect and taken care of. Honestly, we could have never asked for a better agent. If we need to buy/sell any properties in the future, Stephanie will be our only choice since no experience is going to top what she is offering. Let me tell you that Stephanie is, without a doubt, THE BEST agent I have ever worked with. We needed to relocate from MI to TX in a very short time while having two young kids. Throughout the process, we always felt like Stephanie was available, heard our concerns and gave straightforward, transparent feedback. She went above and beyond every step of the way to figure out any potential issues and dug out any information that we could have been interested in, from the seller/selling, agent criteria to city/HOA information, to make sure we wouldn't have any issues with getting a mortgage and the closing process coordinated and taken care of.

Before relocating, I asked my future employer for the best real estate agent to contact; she told me Ebby. When I called and shared my needs, I was magically partnered with Stephanie Fontenot. We hit it off right away. Because my relo involved a couple of different trips to DFW, I looked at houses a few different times. Because of the hot market, many of what I saw one time, were unavailable the next. Stephanie always maintained utmost patience and professionalism while working with me. I was searching for a family home while the family was across the country. She really helped to be that second set of critical eyes, noticing everything that would be important to me and my husband. As a fellow professional, I truly appreciated her communication, kindness and honestly efficiency. She worked hard on every detail and found me answers to all of my needs. Further, she regularly went above and beyond with the greatest customer service. If Stephanie (and Ebby) is your choice, you will be pleased with your decision. She took the stress out of moving.

From the moment we met with Stephanie her high energy and professionalism won us over. And what a terrific decision it was! Her ambition, focus and tremendous motivation to provide outstanding client satisfaction made her a wonderful partner to do business with. Stephanie has a deep knowledge of all aspects of the real estate industry which was clearly evident throughout our journey together. Her attention to detail, her quick response time, and her great communication and organizational skills made us feel calm and confident from the initial staging of our home through the final leg of negotiation. We have bought and sold many houses over the years, and we HIGHLY recommend Stephanie! We are grateful to have had the opportunity to work with her, and now to call her a family friend :)

Stephanie is simply the best. From getting our house staged and prepared for the market, through to the closing on our new home, Stephanie was there every step of the way. We greatly appreciated her rational approach to contract negotiations and she was a calming and guiding influence throughout the process. Detailed oriented and thorough, she didn't miss anything, which helped with two smooth stress-free closings. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

We purchased a new build and Stephanie was our agent. There were quite a few delays, and numerous issues. Stephanie was a great guide through the process. She supported us, fought for us and made us feel that someone was firmly on our side. Stephanie is intelligent, diligent and passionate about what she does. We could not have asked for a better advocate through this process.

Stephanie was instrumental in the sale of our previous house and purchase of our new house. She was hands on every step of the way, always providing great advice and counsel on all decisions small and big along the way. Stephanie demonstrated that this was not just a transaction, but one of the most important financial decisions and emotional decisions as you are selling and buying a family home. We would highly recommend Stephanie, she cares, will ensure you are in good shape for every step in the process, and always provides objective and thoughtful advice that is a reassuring.

I don't think it's possible to find a better realtor! As young, first-time home buyers in a new state, Stephanie walked us through the entire process while answering all of our questions, responding in a timely manner and ensuring all the details were taken care of. We purchased our home in 2020 when the market was crazy. If it weren't for Stephanie and her knowledge of the market, we would still be looking for a house. She gave great advice while we formulated our offer and helped us beat out 15+ other offers. When it came time to sell our home, Stephanie was, without a doubt, the one for the job. She took care of everything from the staging to the photos. We barely had to lift a finger. Thanks to her hard work, our home sold in the first week (well over asking price) after receiving multiple offers. Not only is she great at her job, but she's also very personable and makes you feel like a friend, not just a client.

This is our second time retaining Stephanie’s real estate services and, in our experience, she is one of the best agents out there. She is an extremely hard worker from start to finish. From staging to closing, she is knowledgeable and helpful and is able to do what is needed to get your home sold quickly. She also worked diligently to help us find our next home and was able to find something that fit within our very specific requirements. Not an easy task! We highly recommend Stephanie for all of your real estate needs!

We worked with Stephanie to buy a home in Lucas, TX. We were out of state buyers so we required more support and attention to detail than if we were local. Stephanie was by far the best real estate professional with whom we have ever worked. She not only provided really detailed market information but she then gave us honest pricing feedback that was well thought out based on that information. She also negotiated effectively on our behalf on not only price but but the process (options, inspections, etc.) and closing conditions. And then she continued to make sure those details were satisfied through closing. Even post-closing she has been a phenomenal resource on insurance, property service providers, etc. She is absolutely the best and we were very lucky to find her.

Stephanie helped us sell a home and buy a home, and made sure everything happened on time and made sure all of our questions were answered along the way. She could not have been more helpful in the process and her expertise and knowledge in the details made it very easy on us. I would recommend Stephanie to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the area!

Stephanie was like an extension of our family through every step of the purchasing process. We could not have executed a cross country move without her knowledge and expertise.

We moved here from out of state and were unfamiliar with the Dallas market. Stephanie did an outstanding job orienting us to Dallas, providing us with maps and literature about the area and its neighborhoods, and showing us a wide range of real estate to better narrow our search. She had some very insightful suggestions during the negotiation process, which were greatly appreciated. It was a delight to work with her and I would highly recommend her as a real estate agent.

Working with Stephanie Fontenot was a pleasure from start to finish. Stephanie is the ultimate professional, is very organized and a clear communicator. She responded to any questions in a timely manner. We took advantage of her expertise in the market, while she listened to us and incorporated our needs in her plan. We sold for well above asking price in the first weekend on the market. I highly recommend Stephanie for your real estate needs!

We first met with Stephanie on January 20th, and since then have seen at least 20 to 30 homes with her, in addition to going to other open houses over the past 3 months. She was so very helpful and flexible in being available to us when we found ones of interest. She set up MLS listings within our criteria to be sent to us daily. She was always prepared with documents on each home we visited with her and had great insight and advice. We couldn't have asked for a more knowledgeable and personable agent to work on our behalf....she even made the difference in encouraging the seller of the wonderful home we chose to sell to us over other buyers at the same offering price. We were so fortunate to have Stephanie on our side!

Stephanie was our buyer's agent 6 years ago when we moved from out-of-state and purchased our home in the Park Cities. It was a superb experience. So we knew when we became empty nesters and were ready to downsize exactly who to call. Stephanie has outstanding attention to detail, terrific responsiveness and amazing acumen for how to market a property to get it closed quickly at top-dollar. We worked with Stephanie and her stager to get our house looking it's best. The photographs Stephanie had made for the listing were spectacular and two weeks after listing: sold! We were so pleased with Stephanie's support through the inspection period, negotiation and close. We really just can't say enough about Stephanie except call her, listen to her and you will either find the perfect home, sell your home or both!

When we moved to Texas in 2015 the house we bought was listed by Stephanie. Our positive experience with her as the selling agent stuck with us for 5 years. So, when we decided to downsize she was the only realtor we wanted to sell our home and help us navigate through the building process. Stephanie far exceeded our expectations. Stephanie is a masterful realtor. From timing, pricing, staging, negotiating, build meetings, design appointments, walk throughs, all the way to closing, Stephanie was our champion. We truly feel like we were all a team working together. She would be a pit bull if we needed, and always kept that Southern charm and calm. We cannot tell you how many times she had to calmly and patiently guide us through the ups and downs of building a new home. But, those times did not compare to the outstanding job she does selling homes. Stephanie just has a 6th sense when comes to knowing what a buyer wants and how to make your home conform to that mold. Although we hope we don't have to use Stephanie's services again anytime soon, we do know that we have made a friend for life.

My wife and I recently sat down with Stephanie and asked her to do the impossible. We explained that over the next month we needed to stage and sell our home, pack it up, move to the East Coast and also find time to be with our daughter as she gave birth to our first grandchild in Arizona and attend a wedding in CA. We were also asking this to happen when the market was relatively soft. Exactly thirty- four days later, we remotely finalized the close of our home with a notary public in Annapolis, Maryland. During that time Stephanie helped to beautifully stage our home, had the most amazing and professional pictures taken, listed our home and managed all of the paperwork and documents, facilitated the showing of our home, collected feedback and information after each visit, walked us through the process of handling multiple offers above list price, navigated us through minor home repairs and orchestrated the final offer and closing documents. In one short month Stephanie became our realtor, then our advocate and champion and ultimately a very dear friend. This would have been impossible without her, but she made it all happen, exactly the way we needed it to happen for our family. Stephanie is incredible at what she does and we highly recommend her to anyone needing the perfect realtor.

Real Estate Magician! It is so easy to talk about the wonderful experience that we had with Stephanie. We have never met a more genuine, patient, and empathetic realtor. We find ourselves talking about her every chance we get! We hired Stephanie and immediately put the pressure on her. We had 30 days to sell our house and move to Colorado. Stephanie didn't miss a beat! She immediately directed us on what we needed to do in order to get what we were asking for our house. We followed her recommendations the whole way. While she was working furiously to sell our house, we found our dream house in Colorado. This put even more pressure on her. She still never wavered in her confidence. As life would have it, five days before we were scheduled to close on our house in Colorado, our move fell through. We were left with the question of whether or not to continue with selling our house. Stephanie, provided us the most unbiased advice any realtor could offer. Truth was, our house was in a neighborhood that was not where we wanted to be. We wanted to live in a family oriented neighborhood with more amenities for our kids. We made the decision to continue with our move but this time, we asked Stephanie to help us sell and buy a home. Our first home buying experience was with our previous realtor was truly awful. We were not provided any education on the area we were buying in or given any advice on how to manage issues in the buying process as they came up. The result left us in a home that had more issues than we could manage with our young family. We continually spent our time and money fixing the issues in the home. Stephanie was determined not to let this happen to us again. She was also adamant on getting us into a neighborhood where we could raise our children, be friends with our neighbors, and watch our home value steadily rise. Stephanie pulled off a real estate magic trick! She found us our dream home, with all of the upgrades and a perfect floor plan in our dream neighborhood. We found this home on a Friday but had no good offers on our home yet. So, that weekend she set to work and by the end of the weekend we had 3 offers! The last one that came in was a fabulous offer! This allowed us to put a good offer in on our dream home. She didn't stop there! We knew that the last offer on our home was high and we were worried our home would not appraise for this value. Of course we had found our dream home so again, the pressure was on. Stephanie went out of her way to meet the appraiser and provide comps. The appraisal came through! As I write this, I am filled with joy. It took me some time to figure out the right words to say about our experience with her. My family could not be happier where we are now. Stephanie helped us to provide a life for our children that we have dreamed of. She listened to us, learned about us, and befriended us. She is good at what she does because she truly cares.

Our family moved to Texas unexpectedly this past summer and we found ourselves facing not only the daunting task of finding a new home in an area we knew very little about but also a market with limited inventory. We met Stephanie at an Open House and, from our first encounter, were impressed by Stephanie’s professional and engaging demeanor and her obvious wealth of knowledge - so much so that we scheduled a meeting with her and then signed her on as our realtor. As Stephanie showed us homes, she was able to point out the pros and cons of different neighborhoods, as well as the unique attributes or possible concerns of the houses. Stephanie also arranged a rent-back agreement between our family and the sellers, and the whole closing process went smoothly as a result of her attention to detail. She was quick with communication and stayed a step ahead of the transaction process to ensure that all ducks were in a row. We are happy to highly recommend Stephanie!

Over the years, we’ve sold and purchased 2 primary residences and 2 investment properties with multiple agents. Stephanie is by far our favorite agent. She has our trust and confidence and we will not think twice working with anybody else. We are impressed with her initiative, professionalism and attention to detail. She goes above and beyond expectations and puts your personal interest first above all else. She is timely in her responses and is always available to assist in any way. Stephanie makes the transaction process smooth and effortless. She is truly a professional and has your interest at heart. We could not recommend a better real estate agent other than Stephanie.

Stephanie is the real deal. She was very communicative and detail oriented. Stephanie has a unique ability to help buyers see solutions instead of problems. I would list any house I own with her. She sold our house in a down market and was with us through the entire process.

When we relocated from Portland, Oregon to Dallas, Texas a friend referred us to Stephanie and we will be forever grateful. Stephanie was able to quickly take stock of our wants and needs and began sending us tons of options to consider. We flew in for a weekend and Stephanie took us to see 13 homes in two days and we landed on the perfect home. Stephanie was organized, knowledgeable and very professional. Even after our offer was accepted, Stephanie took great care to make our relocation as easy as possible. From meeting vendors at our house giving us great advice as we settled into our new neighborhood, Stephanie was there at every turn to make sure our relocation was as easy as possible. You will not find a better realtor that Stephanie. Buying or selling your home is a huge investment and you deserve to have Stephanie Fontenot in your corner.

We want to take this opportunity to discuss our experience working with Stephanie Fontenot of Ebby Halliday Realtors. Stephanie listed our house in Allen and provided exceptional service from our initial contact through closing. Her expertise in market research was evident from the beginning, and she did an outstanding job helping us negotiate a fair deal during a rather sudden period of instability in the Collin County real estate market. We were preoccupied with completing construction of a new house in another city, and Stephanie was extremely diligent in communicating with us and even arranging minor repairs and cleaning after we moved out. Moreover, Stephanie is kind and very pleasant to work with, and she made our selling experience, even in a slower market, very positive. Whether you are buying or selling a house, we highly recommend Stephanie Fontenot.

When my husband and I engaged Stephanie to sell our home for top dollar, we knew it would be a challenge. Although we are blessed to have several outstanding realtors as friends, we wanted a realtor who had actually sold a home in our neighborhood previously. (Our next door neighbor had to resort to renting their home after unsuccessfully listing it for sale the summer before. We didn't want that to be us.) Stephanie put me to work before we ever listed. I de-cluttered our home per her instructions and she staged our home at her expense beautifully. It looked incredible. How good did it look? Our neighbor two doors down who happened to have our same floor plan AND a pool, removed their listing from the market after our listing hit. Why? They saw how awesome our home looked in comparison. Not to brag but the difference between the two houses couldn't have been more dramatic. When our neighbor re-listed their house weeks later, they had also cut their price by $20,000. The difference is in the details. The staging was done at Stephanie's direction. She engages an architectural photographer to photograph the home. She prints the most gorgeous brochures. In fact, all the print materials are first class. Details matter especially in upper price point homes. I could go on but I don't want to give away her secret sauce. When our house didn't sell immediately, she got creative by offering different incentives and ideas to distinguish our home from the others for sale. What she didn't do is advise us to make drastic price drops. Ironically, there were 6 houses for sale in our small neighborhood at one point. The houses in our neighborhood who were the most aggressive in dropping their prices didn't sell and two are still listed as I type this. Our home which was priced higher than all but one of the 6 houses in the neighborhood and didn't have a swimming pool sold first. Stephanie is a pro and now she's also my friend. That's what happens when you have a realtor who stays in constant contact with you. She even earned my husband's utmost respect. (My husband is one of those "it's not personal, it's business" kinda guys.) He can be VERY tough on people but Stephanie took everything in stride and managed his expectations perfectly.

When we made the choice to sell our home in Allen, we did not hesitate to use Stephanie Fontenot. Stephanie is a one-of-a-kind realtor. She is extremely diligent and really took a vested interest in our home. One of most impressive things Stephanie did was a market analysis presentation, which gave us an honest insight into what we could expect. You can tell she is passionate about her work and cares about providing exceptional service to her clients. The presentation, along with her analysis, was beyond top-notch. Beyond that, Stephanie has stellar communication and negotiation skills. She was consistent in her follow-ups and was masterful and mindful of all phases of the sale of our home. We enjoyed working with her and hopefully will have a chance to work with her again in the near future.

Stephanie is the BEST! We have worked with Stephanie numerous times and she is always so organized, knowledgeable and friendly. Stephanie knows the market and always offers sound advice. She makes the buying/selling process feel simple and stress-free. If you are buying or selling a home you will be in great hands with Stephanie!

Stephanie was incredible. She came highly recommended for her professionalism, honesty, organization and ability to prep and sell houses in a short period of time. Our expectations were very high given all of the feedback we’d gotten about her and she far exceeded all of them. From day one she gave us clear, honest and insightful guidance on how to best prepare & market our house. Once we got started her organization, frankness and compassion showed through in everything that we did together. This was our 6th move and Stephanie was by far the best and most helpful agent we’ve ever worked with. I would highly recommend working with her if you're contemplating moving.

We met Stephanie Fontenot when she was hosting an open house in our neighborhood. As we began conversing, we were immediately struck by Stephanie's friendly personality. It was also quite evident that Stephanie was a top-notch real estate professional with deep knowledge of the market and how to present a home for sale. Even though I know several real estate professionals, when it was time to list our home for sale, we didn't hesitate to call Stephanie. What Stephanie had shown to us in our first meeting proved to be only the tip of the iceberg. As someone who has worked in the real estate business before, I can honestly say that there isn't a better realtor than Stephanie in the DFW area. Not only did she research and provide a detailed report of comparable sales which helped us set our list price, but she also brought in an interior designer who collaborated with ??us as we decided how to best update our home in order to bring the most value. Stephanie was deeply involved in the process from start to finish, culminating in a final staging of the home and a professional photo shoot. Thanks to Stephanie's hard work, we had 6 offers in 2 days and settled at ?$?10K over list price. This would not have been possible if it had not been for everything Stephanie had done. But her hard work didn't stop there. She continued to be an advocate for us as we negotiated repairs during the option period and supported us all the way through closing. To say that working with Stephanie Fontenot has been a pleasure is an understatement. I would say to anyone looking for a real estate professional, even if you know other realtors, do not miss your chance to work with one of the best in the business. Give Stephanie a call and find out why we had so much success in the sale of our home.....it wasn't by accident. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Stephanie Fontenot!

Working with Stephanie to sell our home in Twin Creeks 3 was a godsend! Stephanie knew exactly where the market level was for the neighborhood and we priced the home accordingly. We received multiple offers and sold to a great family that transferred in from California with Toyota. Stephanie worked tirelessly selling our home and also helping us purchase our new home. Stephanie is very organized and goes above and beyond to ensure her clients are happy throughout the selling and buying process. Look no further than Stephanie with Ebby Halliday to take care of your real estate needs.

Stephanie was fabulous to work with while we sold our home. She went far above and beyond what other realtors have done for us in the past. She is highly professional and motivated to satisfy your needs. Her attention to details and organization made the process go smoothly. Stephanie was very quick to answer any of our questions and gave us such a great experience that we highly recommend her to anyone wanting to sell their home. We truly appreciate all the hard work she did for us!

1+ year later after purchasing our McKinney home with Stephanie's expert help, we're so happy to elaborate on our experience in this testimonial: My wife, Annie, and I are proud to say that Stephanie is the epitome of integrity and true professional in the North Texas real estate market. She was referred to us by a very trustworthy friend of 15 or so years and who'd just bought a north Texas home with her help as well, and they couldn't have been more happy. As a referred client, my wife and I met Stephanie and explored early conversations regarding our short/mid-term needs and MISD school requirements, etc. More importantly, we expressed that we had plenty of run-way and didn't need to rush so that we could enjoy the buying experience vs the normal high pressure buy-close scenarios that accompany home buying. We've multiple properties and absolutely understand the high pressure process and so does Stephanie. Single-handily, I think she's been the most professional, trustworthy and hard working agent that we've had the pleasure of working with. I love that she is so detailed-oriented and highly collaborative with us. Our home is beautiful. Our two boys enjoy playing their sports and swimming in the backyard. Plenty of awesome shade from the Texas summer. Annie got everything she'd wanted and more, etc. I wish there was a '10' star rating option as '5' star doesn't do this testimonial justice. To close with a solid testimonial of this real estate professional, one year after our close and all is said and done, we had an issue with Zillow regarding our personal online info disclosed and a year plus after the closing process and re-contacting Stephanie Fontenot for help, she shot back a reply within a day with "Done!". That's a year after the sale... She won us over for years to come and is a pleasure to do business with! Happy McKinney Homeowners

From the moment we met with Stephanie her high energy and professionalism won us over. And what a terrific decision it was! Her ambition, focus and tremendous motivation to provide outstanding client satisfaction made her a wonderful partner to do business with. Stephanie has a deep knowledge of all aspects of the real estate industry which was clearly evident throughout our journey together. Her attention to detail, her quick response time, and her great communication and organizational skills made us feel calm and confident from the initial staging of our home through the final leg of negotiation. We have bought and sold many houses over the years, and we HIGHLY recommend Stephanie! We are grateful to have had the opportunity to work with her, and now to call her a family friend.

This was our second time to sell a home and it was the best experience, thanks to Stephanie and her team! They make the process smooth and create calm in the midst of the storm of selling and moving...which for us, was out of state! Stephanie is very professional and is constantly in-tune with the market. From pricing, to staging your home, to providing in depth information to the appraiser, she is top notch! We highly recommend Stephanie!

I wanted to share with friends and Twin Creeks neighbors that we recently sold our home and had an exceptional experience with our realtor Stephanie Fontenot of Ebby Halliday Realtors. Stephanie’s attention to detail and commitment to excellence went beyond what we have experienced in our numerous real estate transactions through the years. From her market research and data collection, to marketing materials and staging of the home, all the way through closing, Stephanie never delivered anything other than top notch reporting presentation, materials and vendors. She goes above and beyond to help in every way she can, and she always keep the lines of communication open with regular dialogue, feedback and reminders of important deadlines and milestones. If you are looking for someone to represent you in your real estate transaction, I highly recommend Stephanie Fontenot.

In real estate, where it's key to be able to plan, organize, be committed and have good follow through on the customer's behalf, and where most have fallen short in our previous experience, Stephanie Fontenot demonstrated that she had the passion and abilities to meet and exceed all of our expectations. Efforts are always appreciated but it is results that really matter. She delivered! We highly recommend Stephanie and would not hesitate to give a strong referral to anyone with real estate needs.

It was a pleasure working with Stephanie. She was always very attentive to my home buying needs and gave highly educated feedback throughout the process. I always felt like Stephanie provided me with an unbiased opinion based on her expertise in the industry even when the outcome may not have been as profitable for her which allowed me to gain trust in her as my agent. I highly recommend Stephanie!!!!

Stephanie is awesome! She is everything you want in a realtor - proactive, very buttoned-up, aggressive in a positive way, and very professional. She provided great advice along the way, ensured that we had high-quality marketing materials, and negotiated every detail on our behalf. She got our house sold quickly and stayed on top of everything through closing. My wife and I highly recommend Stephanie.

Selling our home in Allen, Texas was by far the easiest home selling experience thanks to Stephanie Fontenot. (Our home sold within 2 days of listing, and we had multiple offers with the lowest being Full Price!) She took time to explain all the details in a way that we would understand and made sure we were comfortable throughout the entire process. She also created a timeline/spreadsheet for us so we all would stay on track! We have sold 4 homes within 15 years and working with Stephanie was the best experience we've had due to her commitment and high standards. I highly recommend Stephanie whether you are looking to purchase or sell a home in the Dallas area- she will make this overwhelming process much easier and stress free. Thank you Stephanie for all of your expert advice and for staying on top of every detail to completion. You are top notch and we were so blessed to have you as our agent!

Stephanie is a fantastic realtor, we could not have pulled off a cross country move without her assistance!

The thought process was, when we were trying to determine a realtor to best represent us was; what name comes to mind 1st and foremost? Ebby Halliday so I selected the Ebby Halliday office closest to our house. I then went on zillow to view competitive homes for sale in our neighborhood. I took a look and Stephanie Fontenot was suggested as Ebby Halliday Rep for this area. So, I checked on the Ebby Halliday site and sure enough gave her a call. So, glad I did! She listened to everything we thought we wanted to do, and let her drive the process, because we could tell that she had our backs. She took ownership, and gave us the best advice in hind sight. She provided a first class stager, they had the best painter and drywall team to match! All said and done - we had offers after our first weekend showing, and they were above asking price!

To start, this is the fourth home our family has purchased in the last six years... Stephanie Fontenot was the best realtor that my husband and I have ever had the pleasure of working with. She was extremely helpful and knowledgeable throughout the course of our home search. We always felt that she truly had our best interest at heart. Stephanie was organized and was quick to let us know what to expect through the process. We would highly recommend her to anyone relocating to the area or simply looking for a new place to call home! Thanks again Stephanie!

Stephanie Fontenot handled the purchase of our new home and the sale of our current home. She is an excellent negotiator! She really helped us on purchase of our new home by providing specific up to date market data. Regarding the sale of our home her marketing materials (especially the professional photos) were outstanding! She is very organized and most importantly she is always accessible! She always responds via text or telephone very quickly! Due to her help and expertise, we secured a "full-price" offer in only 2 days! Stephanie keeps you informed throughout the entire buy/sell process. Stephanie's number one concern is her clients' interest. I would highly recommend Stephanie Fontenot and Ebby Halliday to anyone looking to purchase or sell a home! She is friendly and professional. A true friend and asset.

We moved to Dallas from out-of-state and had limited visits to the city. Stephanie quickly helped us get familiar with several areas and based on our needs led us to a neighborhood we had not previously considered. It turned out to be just where we wanted to live! Stephanie showed us a number of houses until we found the perfect one for us. Stephanie gets to know you and was a great advocate for us during the buying process. She is a strong negotiator who made sure we were informed every step of the way. We highly recommend Stephanie she is very knowledgeable and terrific to work with.

To Current and Future Clients, I write this as a heartfelt gesture due to the excellent service I received by Stephanie Fontenot in selling my home. To say that Stephanie is a good realtor is a huge understatement she is a GREAT Realtor!!!! I sold my home on the first day of showings and it was driven by her expertise in representing my home well and making sure I priced it correctly to the market. That should be enough one might ask of a seasoned professional such as Stephanie Fontenot but it didn't end there, she also touched my family's heart and recognized how difficult it can be in relocating and all the stress associated with it. Her counsel and her caring will be what I remember the most!!!!! She was recommended to my family by friends and I will always recommend her as well.

Before relocating I asked my future employer for the best real estate agent to contact; she told me Ebby. When I called and shared my needs I was magically partnered with Stephanie Fontenot. We hit it off right away. Because my relo involved a couple of different trips to DFW I looked at houses a few different times. Because of the hot market many of what I saw one time were unavailable the next. Stephanie always maintained utmost patience and professionalism while working with me. I was searching for a family home while the family was across the country. She really helped to be that second set of critical eyes noticing everything that would be important to me and my husband. As a fellow professional I truly appreciated her communication kindness and honestly efficiency. She worked hard on every detail and found me answers to all of my needs. Further she regularly went above and beyond with the greatest customer service. If Stephanie (and Ebby) is your choice you will be pleased with your decision. She took the stress out of moving.

We could not ask for a more dedicated Realtor than Stephanie. She went above and beyond to help us sell our house. From the beginning of the sale with the staging and marketing to the end with walking you through the negotiation process she is more than just a Realtor. I could not recommend her enough.

Selling a home is one of the most stressful events in one's life. Stephanie Fontenot lessened this stress with her consultative approach to selling our home. She is more than just an agent; she is a sales and marketing professional. She was able to put together a marketing package that encompassed staging photography marketing plan and a seller's checklist that resulted in a quick and smooth sale. In turn we received top value for our home. Stephanie balanced our needs with the buyers' demands. She provided excellent customer service throughout the process. Stephanie exceeded our expectations and we HIGHLY recommend Stephanie for anyone who is looking to purchase or sell a home.

My Wife and I had the pleasure of working with Stephanie Fontenot on the recent sale of our home in Allen. We had been planning on interviewing at least 3 Realtors before listing our home however after meeting with Stephanie we cut the search short. From the initial consultation all the way through the closing Stephanie was a wealth of information and kept us fully in the loop regarding the process. Ours was one of a few homes in our neighborhood that went on the market at the same time. While everyone wants to consider their home superior to others in the neighborhood it was Stephanie's thorough description and excellent choice of a photographer that presented our home in the best possible light and led to 4 offers the next day two of them well over the asking price. We highly recommend Stephanie based upon her enthusiasm expertise and thoroughness.

Short intense and sweet... That's what I am calling my experience with Stephanie when she sold our house! Short: We got 3 offers and sold in 9 days! Intense: In order to get ready for showings she brought her best game in the remaining of the best season of the year. Stephanie has a network of trusted providers with more than reasonable prices that helped us to get our house beautiful to be sold in the target date. Sweet: Everything happened so fast and smooth that we were able to move on without delay to enjoy our new chapter! Always available prompt and responsive to our innumerable inquiries regarding every step of the process she made us feel we were her only customers. Her marketing material was a charm... Forever Stephanie will be the Realtor for our friends and family.

We were first time home-buyers and Stephanie was very helpful educating us on the market negotiation process with the seller and items to ask for in the negotiations. She was very patient in showing us potential properties that made sense for our budget. Particularly the original list price of the house we ended up buying was about 20% over our budget and she was able to identify the property as an opportunity and we were able to purchase the house in our budgeted range. Additionally she was very helpful in providing recommendations for service providers during and after the process. Not sure when the next house buying opportunity will come up for us again but if it is here in DFW we plan to use Stephanie.

It was a pleasure to work with Stephanie on the purchase of our new home. She is knowledgeable and thoroughly professional helping us understand and work through each step of the process. We are happy to recommend her.

My wife Tracy and I were referred to Stephanie Fontenot not only to sell our current home but to help us find and walk us through the process of purchasing a new home. We were very pleased with her demeanor in her initial presentation and her thoroughness in explaining what she would be doing for us and what we would be responsible for in the process. She did an excellent job in presenting our home to prospective buyers with photography and marketing and the use of emails and the Internet. I am confident that her ties to Ebby Halliday and her experience in Real Estate helped us not only get a great deal on both ends but helped us sell our home much faster than if we were to go another route. She seemed to think of everything along the way and often helped make difficult decisions very easy. I would no doubt refer Stephanie to friends and family who had a need for a Realtor in buying or selling a home. She was fantastic in all aspects of her job!

When it came time to sell our final home and downsize, we were advised if we wanted to go with the best and never question that agent's work, we should meet with Stephanie. Stephanie was everything every agent should strive to be: thorough, prepared, dedicated, caring, professional, always positive, and always acting in our best interest. She is the ultimate pro and a star as a real estate professional.

Stephanie was by far the best real estate professional with whom we have ever worked. She not only provided really detailed market information, but she also gave us honest pricing feedback that was well thought out based on that information. She also negotiated effectively on our behalf on not only the price but also the process (options, inspections, etc.) and closing conditions. She is absolutely the best, and we were very lucky to find her.

Stephanie is an extremely hard worker from start to finish. From staging to closing, she is knowledgeable and helpful and is able to do what is needed to get your home sold quickly. She also worked diligently to help us find our next home and was able to find something that fit within our very specific requirements. We highly recommend Stephanie for all of your real estate needs!

Stephanie is the ultimate professional, is very organized and a clear communicator. She responded to any questions in a timely manner. We took advantage of her expertise in the market, while she listened to us and incorporated our needs in her plan. We sold for well above the asking price on the first weekend on the market. I highly recommend Stephanie for your real estate needs!

We first met with Stephanie on January 20th, and since then have seen at least 20 to 30 homes with her, in addition to going to other open houses over the past 3 months. She was always prepared with documents on each home we visited with her and had great insight and advice. We couldn't have asked for a more knowledgeable and personable agent to work on our behalf... she even made the difference in encouraging the seller of the wonderful home we chose to sell to us over other buyers at the same offering price!

We purchased a new build, and Stephanie was our agent. Stephanie was a great guide through the process. She supported us, fought for us and made us feel that someone was firmly on our side. Stephanie is intelligent, diligent and passionate about what she does; we could not have asked for a better advocate through this process.

Stephanie has outstanding attention to detail, terrific responsiveness, and amazing acumen in marketing a property to get it closed quickly at top dollar. We worked with Stephanie and her stager to get our house looking it's best. The photographs Stephanie had made for the listing were spectacular and two weeks after listing: sold! We really just can't say enough about Stephanie except to tell you to call her and listen to her; you will either find the perfect home, sell your home, or both!

Stephanie far exceeded our expectations. Stephanie is a masterful realtor. From timing, pricing, staging, negotiating, build meetings, design appointments, and walk-throughs all the way to closing, Stephanie was our champion. But those times did not compare to the outstanding job she does selling homes. Stephanie just has a 6th sense when it comes to knowing what a buyer wants and how to make your home conform to that mold.

My wife and I recently sat down with Stephanie and asked her to do the impossible. Exactly 34 days later, we remotely finalized the close of our home with a notary public in Annapolis, Maryland. During that time, Stephanie helped to beautifully stage our home, had the most amazing and professional pictures taken, listed our home and managed all of the paperwork and documents, facilitated the showing of our home, collected feedback and information after each visit, walked us through the process of handling multiple offers above list price, navigated us through minor home repairs and orchestrated the final offer and closing documents. In one short month, Stephanie became our realtor, then our advocate and champion and ultimately a very dear friend.

We have never met a more genuine, patient, and empathetic realtor. We had 30 days to sell our house and move to Colorado. She immediately directed us on what we needed to do in order to get what we were asking for our house. She also found us our dream home, with all of the upgrades and a perfect floor plan in our dream neighborhood. Stephanie listened to us, learned about us, and befriended us; she is good at what she does because she truly cares.

Our family moved to Texas unexpectedly this past summer, and we found ourselves facing not only the daunting task of finding a new home in an area we knew very little about but also a market with limited inventory. As Stephanie showed us homes, she was able to point out the pros and cons of different neighborhoods, as well as the unique attributes or possible concerns of the houses. Stephanie also arranged a rent-back agreement between our family and the sellers, and the whole closing process went smoothly as a result of her attention to detail. She was quick with communication and stayed a step ahead of the transaction process to ensure that all ducks were in a row.

Stephanie has our trust and confidence, and we will not think twice about working with anybody else. We are impressed with her initiative, professionalism and attention to detail. She goes above and beyond expectations and puts your personal interest first above all else. She responds in a timely manner and is always available to assist in any way.

Stephanie was very communicative and detail-oriented. Stephanie has a unique ability to help buyers see solutions instead of problems. I would list any house I own with her. She sold our house in a down market and was with us through the entire process.

Stephanie was able to quickly take stock of our wants and needs and began sending us tons of options to consider. We flew in for a weekend, and Stephanie took us to see 13 homes in two days, and we landed on the perfect home. Stephanie was organized, knowledgeable and very professional. Even after our offer was accepted, Stephanie took great care to make our relocation as easy as possible, from meeting vendors at our house to giving us great advice as we settled into our new neighborhood.

Stephanie listed our house in Allen and provided exceptional service from our initial contact through closing. Her expertise in market research was evident from the beginning, and she did an outstanding job helping us negotiate a fair deal during a rather sudden period of instability in the Collin County real estate market. Stephanie was extremely diligent in communicating with us and even arranging minor repairs and cleaning after we moved out. Moreover, Stephanie is kind and very pleasant to work with, and she made our selling experience, even in a slower market, very positive.

Stephanie put me to work before we ever listed, de-cluttering our home per her instructions, and she beautifully staged our home at her expense. Details matter, especially in upper-priced homes. Our home, which was priced higher than all but one of the 6 houses listed in the neighborhood and didn't have a swimming pool sold first. Stephanie is a pro, and now she's also my friend—that's what happens when you have a realtor who stays in constant contact with you.

Stephanie is the BEST! We have worked with Stephanie numerous times, and she is always so organized, knowledgeable and friendly. Stephanie knows the market and always offers sound advice. She makes the buying/selling process feel simple and stress-free.

Stephanie is a one-of-a-kind realtor. One of the most impressive things Stephanie did was a market analysis presentation, which gave us an honest insight into what we could expect. You can tell she is passionate about her work and cares about providing exceptional service to her clients. She was consistent in her follow-ups and was masterful and mindful of all phases of the sale of our home.

Stephanie came highly recommended for her professionalism, honesty, organization and ability to prep and sell houses in a short period of time. Our expectations were very high, given all of the feedback we’d gotten about her, and she far exceeded all of them. From day one, she gave us clear, honest and insightful guidance on how to best prepare and market our house. Once we got started, her organization, frankness and compassion showed through in everything that we did together.

As someone who has worked in the real estate business before, I can honestly say that there isn't a better realtor than Stephanie in the DFW area. Not only did she research and provide a detailed report of comparable sales, which helped us set our list price, but she also brought in an interior designer who collaborated with us as we decided how to best update our home in order to bring the most value. Thanks to Stephanie's hard work, we had 6 offers in 2 days and settled at $10K over the list price. She continued to be an advocate for us as we negotiated repairs during the option period and supported us all the way through closing.

Working with Stephanie to sell our home in Twin Creeks 3 was a godsend! Stephanie knew exactly where the market level was for the neighborhood, and we priced the home accordingly. Stephanie worked tirelessly selling our home and also helping us purchase our new home. Stephanie is very organized and goes above and beyond to ensure her clients are happy throughout the selling and buying process.

Stephanie was fabulous to work with while we sold our home. She went far above and beyond what other realtors have done for us in the past. She is highly professional and motivated to satisfy your needs. Stephanie was very quick to answer any of our questions and gave us such a great experience that we highly recommend her to anyone wanting to sell their home.

My wife, Annie, and I are proud to say that Stephanie is the epitome of integrity and a true professional in the North Texas real estate market. Single-handedly, I think she's been the most professional, trustworthy, and hard-working agent with whom we've had the pleasure of working. I love that she is so detail-oriented and highly collaborative with us. Our home is beautiful, our two boys enjoy playing their sports and swimming in the backyard, and there is plenty of awesome shade from the Texas summer—we got everything we wanted and more.

Stephanie's ambition, focus and tremendous motivation to provide outstanding client satisfaction made her a wonderful partner to do business with. Stephanie has a deep knowledge of all aspects of the real estate industry, which is clearly evident throughout our journey together. Her attention to detail, her quick response time, and her great communication and organizational skills made us feel calm and confident from the initial staging of our home through the final leg of negotiations. We are grateful to have had the opportunity to work with her and to call her a family friend.

This was our second time selling a home, and it was the best experience, thanks to Stephanie and her team! They make the process smooth and create calm amid the storm of selling and moving, which, for us, was out of state! Stephanie is very professional and is constantly in tune with the market. From pricing and staging your home to providing in-depth information to the appraiser, she is top-notch!

Stephanie’s attention to detail and commitment to excellence went beyond what we have experienced in our numerous real estate transactions through the years. From her market research and data collection to marketing materials and staging of the home, all the way through closing, Stephanie never delivered anything other than top-notch reporting, presentations, materials and vendors. If you are looking for someone to represent you in your real estate transaction, I highly recommend Stephanie Fontenot.

In real estate, where it's key to be able to plan, organize, be committed and have good follow through on the customer's behalf, and where most have fallen short in our previous experience, Stephanie Fontenot demonstrated that she had the passion and abilities to meet and exceed all of our expectations. Efforts are always appreciated, but it is the results that really matter. She delivered! We highly recommend Stephanie and would not hesitate to give a strong referral to anyone with real estate needs.

It was a pleasure working with Stephanie. She was always very attentive to my home buying needs and gave highly educated feedback throughout the process. I always felt like Stephanie provided me with an unbiased opinion based on her expertise in the industry even when the outcome may not have been as profitable for her which allowed me to gain trust in her as my agent. I highly recommend Stephanie!!!!

Stephanie is awesome! She is everything you want in a realtor—proactive, very buttoned up, aggressive in a positive way, and very professional. She provided great advice along the way, ensured that we had high-quality marketing materials, and negotiated every detail on our behalf. She got our house sold quickly and stayed on top of everything through closing.

Selling our home in Allen, Texas, was by far the easiest home-selling experience, thanks to Stephanie Fontenot. Our home sold within 2 days of listing, and we had multiple offers with the lowest being full price! She took time to explain all the details in a way that we would understand and made sure we were comfortable throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Stephanie, whether you are looking to purchase or sell a home in the Dallas area, as she will make this overwhelming process much easier and stress-free.

Stephanie is a fantastic realtor, we could not have pulled off a cross country move without her assistance!

She listened to everything we thought we wanted to do, and we let her drive the process because we could tell that she had our backs. She took ownership and gave us the best advice in hindsight. She provided a first-class stager; they had the best painter and drywall team to match! All said and done—we had offers after our first weekend showing, and they were above asking price!

Stephanie Fontenot was the best realtor that my husband and I have ever had the pleasure of working with. She was extremely helpful and knowledgeable throughout the course of our home search. We always felt that she truly had our best interest at heart. We would highly recommend her to anyone relocating to the area or simply looking for a new place to call home!

Stephanie Fontenot handled the purchase of our new home and the sale of our current home. She is an excellent negotiator! She really helped us with the purchase of our new home by providing specific, up-to-date market data. Regarding the sale of our home, her marketing materials (especially the professional photos) were outstanding! Due to her help and expertise, we secured a full-price offer in only 2 days!

We moved to Dallas from out-of-state and had limited visits to the city. Stephanie quickly helped us get familiar with several areas and based on our needs led us to a neighborhood we had not previously considered. It turned out to be just where we wanted to live! Stephanie got to know us and was a great advocate for us during the buying process.

To say that Stephanie is a good realtor is a huge understatement; she is a GREAT Realtor!!!! I sold my home on the first day of showings and it was driven by her expertise in representing my home well and making sure I priced it correctly to the market. Her counsel and her caring will be what I remember the most!!!!! She was recommended to my family by friends, and I will always recommend her as well.

Stephanie always maintained the utmost patience and professionalism while working with me. I was searching for a family home while the family was across the country.

We moved here from out of state and were unfamiliar with the Dallas market.

She had some very insightful suggestions during the negotiation process, which were greatly appreciated. It was a delight to work with her and I would highly recommend her as a real estate agent.
