In real estate everyone has their own expectations, needs and wants in a house, and Stephany is here to help you find your detailed home.
During Stephany’s free time she enjoys making fashion videos, sitting outside on her laptop with a nice big mug of coffee (she’s addicted to coffee). If she’s out of town she is riding her ATV with her fiancé. Just as much as Stephany enjoys her feminine side, she is not afraid of taking the masculine in her and getting dirty and muddy.
