    Bought a Single Family home in 2012 for approximately $150K in Pinson, AL.
    Stephanie was amazing! We originally met Stephanie back in 2008 thinking we were ready to buy. After some reconsideration we decided that then was not the right time for us. Fast-forward 4 years, almost to the date, and we are now home owners. Stephanie really impressed us by going over the bones and guts of purchasing. She sat us down and we compiled a list of what we wanted, needed, etc. She sent us some listings and we were able to pick out the ones we were interested in. Stephanie went way above and beyond and after only viewing 4 properties we made our decision. She made the process of purchasing our home an “experience” that we will never forget. I’ve heard horror stories of the home buying process but she made it less stressful than I anticipated. She answered all of my 1,000s of questions and was always available to me either via email, phone, or text. Stephanie’s knowledge and connections really made our experience one that we will remember forever. Every hurdle that was thrown at us, she helped us jump over and kept it moving. Not only did we purchase a home but we made a friend. I would recommend Stephanie Ford to anyone looking to purchase or sale. She was truly a blessing to us!More Less

    Stephanie Ford was great to work with .She saved me $6400.00 i was going to make my first offer at $74900.00 she Suggested $65000.00 .We got the house for $68500 .She then saved me $450.00 from closing . We had a small amount of damage to the house after the contract she recovered the repair cost for us also ! in all I would say she is the best agent I have worked with . She had a good knowledge of the area .she made the process as easy as possible we closed on time in 30 days .With several problems caused by the listing agent .She always called me back .Her Negotiation skills are excellent .I would have overpaid if she hadn’t done such a great job in the Negotiation .In all I would say she saved me $12000More Less
