Selling our beloved BHI home was a bittersweet decision for us. We love BHI, and we treasure our home with countless fond memories there. When we reached the difficult decision that this chapter of our lives had come to a close, we knew our choice in a realtor was going to be important and personal. Stephanie was our first call and our ultimate choice. From the first conversation throughout the process, she was thoughtful, intentional, kind, responsive, hard-working, supportive, and an expert in every step of the process. She not only guided us through the process, but she was there for us personally at every step. We felt and were supported as a family; we were never just a client or a transaction. We can't endorse Stephanie strongly enough as a professional, a realtor, and a person.
We can not say enough about what a great experience we had working with Stephanie on the sale of our beloved home on BHI! We started working with Stephanie over a year before the actual sales process. She was very patient and thorough in outlining the market conditions and the relative merits of listing our home. She was always open and professional about what we could expect and kept us updated on the best timing and strategy for our listing. She was never pushy or used any hard sell tactics. We always felt like partners throughout the process. When we decided to put the house on the market, Stephanie ran the process extremely well. She got the house in great shape, she did a great job in the write-up of the home, and she kept us updated on a daily basis. Ultimately, she helped get a great deal for us and successfully got us to closing. We can not thank Stephanie enough for her personal…

We were looking for a vacation home for our 9-year-old twin boys and 3-year-old daughter to enjoy throughout the year. We needed room for the kids, but also guest space, to invite family and friends!? Additionally, our small children and a hundred-pound black lab need a safe outdoor space to play. We needed a larger home with a yard and fast! Stephanie had several initial meetings with us and took diligent notes regarding our specific needs in a Bald Head Island home as well as our budgetary limitations. She is highly talented technologically and made excellent use of the relevant search engines and real estate databases to quickly find us a variety of homes for sale in the best areas of the island. She did not waste our time with homes that were out of our price range or not in line with our needs. A master of contract negotiations, Stephanie came up with a deal that was good for us and made the seller happy as well. Throughout this home-buying process, she also managed to give us significant support working with local contractors, calling on her vast network to bring in experts quickly and to ensure the seller honored the maintenance commitments. She knows Bald Head Island like the back of her hand. There is nothing that escapes Stephanie's attention when it comes to property for sale in this area. We found Stephanie to be a highly attentive agent, almost as if we were her only customers, although we know that was not the case. She returned all phone calls, texts, and emails the same day and usually within minutes. We never felt neglected or unimportant. She is also highly personable with an engaging personality. Are we proud to consider her a friend and like family? Our daughter Mikaila is really taken with her. Stephanie was honest about some minor changes that the house needed and how to address these with the seller. She was also honest about fees and earnest money deposits. Her advice worked like a charm. We are pleased to recommend Stephanie Blake to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. She is hands down the best in the business in our opinion, and if we ever need to buy or sell again, she will be our first choice in real estate agents.

Simply put, Stephanie Blake is one of the finest real estate professionals I have ever worked with. Professional, hard-working, and always available for calls or questions, she far exceeded my expectations. From the first meetings to determine pricing, staging, and marketing right through to the final closing, Stephanie impressed me with her knowledge of the market and her ability to prioritize and anticipate next steps. No stone was left unturned to ensure that we were ready to go to market and maximize the value of our home. And on top of all that, she was an absolute pleasure to work with, with a positive attitude, can-do spirit, and always on top of things. I hope that we have an opportunity to work together again at some point in the future!
