Seamless. Stephanie made good on all promises! After interviewing a few realtors, my brother and I had differing opinions. He liked the personal care and knowledge a local realtor offered, specializing in our specific architecture and neighborhood, I agreed we needed someone approachable, but was concerned about a solo realtor with so many responsibilities per transaction being efficient, b/c selling a house in SoCal is so contractually perilous. From the start, we received excellent service from Stephanie and her team. She was personally available 97% of the time, and if not got back to me fairly quickly. (When hiring a good realtor, you need to understand that if you want personal service, they still have other clients. However, if they're on the phone giving them good service, when they call you back, you'll receive the same treatment!) The team was flexible and all very respectful of our preferences regarding communications, privacy and showings. I was impressed with her individual specialists overseeing each aspect of the transaction, including following the buyer's loan progress and double-checking their realtor's responsibilities too. They dotted all their i's and crossed their T's; I never felt I had to remind them of anything- they did as they said they would, and if I had a question someone responded immediately. Our escrow closed today, and the sale went so smoothly we're pinching ourselves! Many thanks to Chung Mi, Melissa, Adrian and the other team members. I think of Stephanie as a friend and will miss talking with her! read more

Stephanie and her entire team was a pleasure to work with. My husband had purchased his first home with Stephanie many years ago. This time we were selling his childhood home. Since we had not lived there, we had uncertainty about condition and features. Stephanie was proactive in having inspections done in advance so we knew what we were working with. The team expertly advised us on price negotiations to maximize our proceeds. The process was smooth and the team explained everything along the way. We would recommend the team to anyone looking to sell or buy a home. read more

There are a gazillion realtors out there, but our experience selling our first home while buying our second home (at the same time) with seasoned realtors Stephanie Vitacco, Dessie Vescio, and her team was nothing short of exceptional. If you need extreme attention to detail, someone who is looking out for you more than you are looking out for yourself, follow through, follow through, follow through, patient and comprehensive explanations, no short cuts, deeper understanding of real estate transactions from the buyer and seller perspective, look no further than Team Vitacco. They respond to inquiries via email, text, calls 24/7 including weekends. Everyone in her team (Chung, Sue, Jelly, etc) has also been exceptional in their duties and have years of expertise in the subject matter. To say that we are extremely happy and grateful to their services is an understatement. They will help you and your family to move on to the next phase of your life, stop dragging your feet and just give them a call even if you aren't sure. It could truly be transformational to your family's life. read more

When we went to sell our former family home, we interviewed a number of agents. Stephanie stood out with her preparedness, professionalism, and impressive sales record. Once we hired her, she and her team were so incredibly helpful every step of the way. She and her contractor carefully went with us through the old house, discussing where the best places were to invest money to improve the value of the house. The work was done quickly and well, and seriously improved the look and functionality of the house. She set up the pictures of the house and the listing so well that we received an offer right after the first open house. From there, she and her team worked with us every step of the way. From offers to counter-offers, inspections, and escrow her team including Chung Mi, Susan, Jelly, and Joey were incredibly helpful. Whenever we had questions or concerns, they responded quickly and thoroughly. If you're looking to sell a home, you absolutely will not do better than Stephanie Vitacco. read more

They didn't just treat us like clients--they treated us like family. Every question was answered quickly and thoroughly. Every concern was met with understanding and support. We never felt rushed or pressured; instead, we were guided with wisdom and kindness every step of the way. Stephanie and her team always gave us the right advice at the right time.

It's difficult to distill in a few words how extraordinary Stephanie is. She is without parallel. We had some unexpected, potentially derailing, events along the way that she calmly and compassionately moved us through to a successful sale. We will be forever grateful! Chung and her top notch team were so supportive and patient. Stephanie, Thank You all for being You!! read more

Stephanie Vitacco and her team were exceptional. We really appreciated how well they communicated with us every step of the way. The sale of our property was a bit complicated. We had a business with a long-term tenant. Stephanie informed us from the very beginning that this would be a more difficult property to sell. Stephanie and her team put a great deal of time and effort into marketing our property and despite the complications, she sold it for us for a price we were happy with. We would highly recommend Stephanie Vitacco for your real estate needs. Shiro T. Burbank, CA read more

Stephanie and her team were the dream team for our sale. We had been thru a few other brokers and were living out of state when somehow ,thank goodness we were put in contact with Stephanie and her team. From the start we both felt than the expertise and professionalism were exactly what we needed. Stephanie was able to point out how to best prepare the house for a good response and she was correct. Our house went on the market and sold over list in no time. I will always be grateful for your guidance and kindness during this time. The entire team made this experience stress free. Thank you and we tell everyone to reach out to you so they can have a stress free experience as well! Evie read more

Stephanie treated this sale as if it were her own home she was selling. We felt completely confident in her and her teams ability to get the job done. we highly recommend the Vitacco team! well done! Brian & Cathy read more

Stephanie, a letter of gratitude. When the dearest person in my life passed, the only, and I mean ONLY positive aspect was meeting Stephanie. Exceptional is an extreme understatement. To define Stephanie and her team is difficult for me, but here is a shot at the best: Highest competency, professionalism, communication, flawless. Not to mention multiple offers, short escrow and ROI. Yeah, that too. She REALLY knows what she is talking about. When she makes a suggestion, take it. I had interviewed other agents and all had severely underestimated the property. Thank the Lord that she took care of me. Should this challenging time come in your life, just go to the experts to ease this obstacle. Stephanie, Chung Mi, Joey, and everyone who worked like pristine clockwork, thank you for holding my hand. Thank you for truly knowing your business inside out. Thank you for your availability. Thank you for answering my questions. Thank you for triple checking. Thank you for negotiating on my behalf. Thank you for taking this burden off my shoulders. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and for helping me. I appreciate you, too. read more

Stephanie and her team are not only excellent at what they do, but they are kind and caring during a very difficult situation. They approach the sell of your loved ones home as if it is the single most important property they have. They are incredibly professional, knowledgeable, thorough, and timely. And they do it with a great attitude and helpful service. It is hands down the single best realtor experience o have ever had (purchase 7 homes over the years). I can not thank them enough for handling this difficult time with sensitivity and expertise. read more

We purchased our starter home with Stephanie and Dessie back in 2015. Even though it was a lower priced home, we never felt that we were too small or less important than their other larger clients. In fact, the service was so incredible we felt like we were as important as anyone. It went so smoothly we didnt even think twice about contacting Team Vitacco again when we had outgrown our house. Prior to listing, we met with Stephanie and Dessie to discuss the current state of the real estate market and to review the best strategy for maximizing demand and value on the sale of our house. They were great! They presented all the comps in the area and explained the rationale behind the proposed listing price...this is where having seasoned professionals like Stephanie and Dessie is so critical. Sure enough, the house sold within weeks with multiple offers well above listing. We then had a very specific criteria when searching for our new potential forever home. We looked at houses for months (it felt like forever), and never heard one complaint from Dessie (who is such an unbelievably patient, caring and professional person). After searching high and low, we finally found the house we loved. Unfortunately, it was owned by a completely incompetent and unrealistic seller. Beyond the months it took to find the house, it took months of negotiating (and even falling out of escrow once) before the deal finally came together. The only reason this ended up working out was because of Dessie and her professionalism. Dessie is so top notch and such a perfect representation of what Stephanie and Team Vitacco stand for. The deal is now closed, but Dessie remains by our side, ensuring everything is handled and completed as promised while still coordinating different professionals and contractors to ensure we end up getting what we had envisioned. I could keep going, but I'm sure most have already tuned this whole thing out... For those of you who skipped to the bottom, my conclusion is simple...if you're looking to be represented by the best in the business. If you expect professionalism and expertise, there are few (if any) that can come close to what you will get with team Vitacco. There's a reason they have been so successful and constantly rank among the top in the Valley and the state. The choice is clear, and if we are ever in the market in the future, it won't be a question who we turn to yet again. Thank you Stephanie, Dessie and the entire team than made this transaction a reality! read more

Stephanie Vitacco - Real Estate Agents Near Me - Encino, California

Stephanie and her team did an AMAZING job! Not only were they able to help me find a home that was better than anything I thought I could afford but they were able to do it at the 11th hour when my finance person completely dropped the ball. They brought in their finance team and got me a WAY better deal than the person I was using over a weekend! Then when I had to sell they stuck with me when my property had some crazy and unforseen circumstances. The entire team pulled together and helped me deal with a very difficult sale while I was dealing with my Mom having a heart attack. This team is dedicated and they made it obvious that they care about their clients. I highly recommend Stephanie and her team they go above and beyond. read more

If you're buying a home, you should start here. For one thing, their coverage area is huge. For another, Dessie Vescio works here, and you'll have a quite a difficult time finding a more experienced realtor (please trust me, we met several). Dessie has an eagle eye, though it probably helps that's she seems to have seen every problem a house could have and knows what to look for. Top to bottom, from a misaligned roof to a crack in the foundation, she sees it ALL. She's also seen enough remodels that she can tell you what might be involved in fixing it. She's also very punctual, committed, and communicative. If there was an issue with the house, she'd really follow up on it. If there was a house we wanted to see that wasn't showing, she'd try to somehow get us in there. My husband and I dragged Dessie all over the map, often at a moment's notice. We were terrible, but she was always at the top of her game. read more

We are very grateful to have found Stephanie and her team to help us through the sale of our condo. Stephanie and Chung and the rest of the team are extremely knowledgeable about the industry, friendly, professional, and attentive to all of our questions. We knew we were in good hands the entire way. Stephanie stands out from her peers in her expertise, energy, and positivity. I highly recommend her! read more

Success defines Stephanie Vitacco and her team of real estate professionals. With over 30 years of experience and over 7,000 successful transactions, the proof is in the results. Her success is routed in her considerate, compassionate, empathic approach to the customer. She has outstanding listening skills , great detail, organization, high degree of follow through as well as superior knowledge and experience. Her approach to selling your home or finding the right home gives you that comfort and security in knowing that you are in great hands. We were overseas and so Stephanie's team (Chung Mi, Joey, Dessie, Sue etc...) handled all the specifics in such great detail that it made the entire experience so delightful. If you want an advocate, Stephanie will definitely make it happen for you. read more

Stephanie is an amazing realtor to work with. Professional and thorough, no detail will be overlooked when working with Stephanie. Her office is so helpful and is always willing to walk you through the steps. I highly recommend Stephanie and her exceptional team to anyone looking to buy or sell in the area. read more

Her team was very thorough, knowledgeable, efficient and communicative. They were there every step of the way to help insure our house was sold for the best price and answered every question with grace and ease. But what was truly exceptional was they got the deal closed during a pandemic and over the holidays before the new year, which saved us LOTS of money in taxes! We have worked with several agents over the course of our lives and found her team to be the most on top of the game so far. You can't go wrong with them! read more

P - professional and personable E - exceptional customer service R - responsible F - focused on the goal of selling and followed through until it happened E - ethical C - competence T - truthful. Also "told" us what to do (when I asked) and "took" pride in their work I highly recommend the Vitacco Group to anyone selling their home. Stephanie and her team (particularly Chung Mi who moved mountains to support escrow moving along) were exactly what I wanted. We have bought and sold several homes in our lives. I put the Vitacco group at the top of the list. Stephanie was direct, gave her opinions when asked, presented an optimistic, yet reasonable asking price. Even during Covid-19 we had offers quickly based upon great photos and video, the professionalism of her staff, and following her advice to a "T". The escrow took much longer than pre-COVID, but not due to a lack of trying on Chung Mi's (and others') parts. (There is much more employment checking and our buyers were apparently close to their limit for a loan.) This is a winning team. Competent. Professional. They get the job done! Message me on Yelp and I will tell you even more. read more

In helping me sell my house, Stephanie and her team were fantastic, from beginning to end. Everyone was professional, quick, and knew their stuff. Stephanie helped me set a listing price and created excitement in the market; and we sold for a lot more than I expected. The whole experience for me could now have been better. read more

Stephanie and her team are top notch! From top to bottom we were supported and always felt informed. Our case was particularly difficult and it was handled with care and professionalism. I recommend this team one hundred percent and will use them again. read more

Stephanie and her entire staff provide high quality service. My family was very happy with the results obtained on the sale of my mom's home. The transaction could not have gone any better. read more

Stephanie Vitacco's incredible sales (well over 100 homes per year) is the simple result of her incredibly high personal and professional standards... It is that simple. While you may know Stephanie as an incredibly hard working professional that the National Association of Realtors recognizes year after year for her production, knowledge and professionalism, what you may not know about Stephanie is her singular focus, fierce determination and sense of humor! If she needs to walk a dog on the beach wearing 4 inch heels for a client, she will do it... with a smile on her face! Her integrity is beyond reproach and she tells more clients NOT to sell their homes than any agent I know. Despite her incredible production, she puts her client's need to make a sound financial decision first! From the outside looking in, none of us know which of her listings are mind numbingly difficult and which are easy "no brainers".... Stephanie has forged a team that makes them all look easy. No matter which members of her team you deal with, you know everything is exactly as it would be if Stephanie was in the room. read more

Team Vitacco was great to work with throughout the process of selling my childhood home that my parents had lived in for over 50 years. Stephanie, Will and the rest of the team really helped guide us through the entire process. They even were able to recommend someone to help clean out all the entire house after it sold. You won't go wrong with them. read more

Stephanie Vitacco was recommended to me by Dave Ramsey as a Endorsed Local Provider and it was the best advise I ever got! Stephanie and Team Vitacco (Chung Mi, Joey, & Dessie) were truly fantastic! I had never sold a home before, so their knowledge was key for me! They made what I had always heard was a nerve wracking process, selling a home, smooth sailing instead. Did COVID-19 stop Team Vitacco? Nope! Stephanie explained the process to me so I would know what to expect from the very beginning and every step of the way, she and her team kept me updated. They were so helpful, so courteous, and fun to work with too. This team knows their business and will steer you right. The process was simple and Stephanie was honest and straightforward. I would 100% recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. They are awesome and trustworthy. If I was buying or selling a home in their area, I would use them again. Thanks a bunch for making my life easier! read more

This is the second time I've used Stephanie and her team's services and I'd never consider going with anyone else. They go above and beyond in service , knowledge, professionalism and compassion . A special shout out to Chung Mi and Joey and the scheduler. Communication was outstanding . I always knew they had my best interests at heart. read more

There's not a better real estate agent in the San Fernando Valley, as far as I'm concerned. I've bought and sold with Stephanie and she makes the process seamless. read more

Dear Stephanie, I just wanted to take the opportunity to express our gratitude for all your assistance and guidance selling my late brothers' condo in Northridge. During an incredibly stressful time for me, your professionalism in carrying out your responsibilities as my agent were beyond reproach. . . Your attention to all the details, responding to phone calls and keeping me abreast of everything that was happening certainly took a lot of the pressure off me. In an ever-changing local real estate environment, I found that having you 'on my side' was a tremendous advantage and am thankful to have worked with you." Thanks again, Sincerely, Jason Weiss. read more

Me and the wifey decided to buy after renting for way too long. Stephanie's team came highly recommended and we gave them a call - and we are so, so glad we did! We mostly worked with Matt Himmelrick and by the end of the journey to find a perfect spot - I can say we felt Matt was more of a friend than an agent. He was with us every step of the way - and not once did he not answer or return a phone call. I swear, that guy never sleeps! Obviously, the whole Covid situation made things a bit trickier than it would have been regularly - but Matt did everything in his power to make it a non-issue. We thank everyone from team Vitacco from the bottom of our hearts! And when the time eventually comes to move on to the next spot - we have you guys on speed dial! :) read more

This review is for "Team Vitacco," meaning Stephanie Vitacco, Dessie Vescio, and Chung Mi Ferraro. I consider Dessie to be my primary real estate agent so I will refer to "she" as opposed to "them," but they work together and all three of the women deserve grades of A++. Approximately 10 years ago my very good friends (Mr. and Mrs. G.) insisted that their real estate agent was "the best in the world" and that as good as my agent was, he just couldn't be as good as Dessie. As reluctant as I was, I trusted these good friends of mine and gave Dessie a try. It was love at first deal and I never looked back. Dessie and her team have been my real estate agents for about ten years now and she is simply outstanding, the very best. I trust her completely and so when my daughter decided to sell her house and buy another, she agreed to go with Dessie for the sale and the purchase, and she agreed that Dessie and team are the most wonderful real estate agents ever. Dessie knows the geographical areas. She knows the prices for sales and rentals, condos and houses, and has always been wonderful at saving me money and helping me get the best deal, whether buying or selling or renting out a property. She's very thorough and she knows the minute details that are critical in any real estate transaction. She's been so helpful when I needed to clean, paint, make repairs, etc., referring me to excellent people and companies with whom she's done business for many years. She's young at heart despite her years of experience. Dessie is definitely and completely professional. And then there's the personal side. I like to joke with Dessie: "I LOVE YOU, DESSIE!" and it's okay with my wife who's usually right there with me and who loves Dessie as I do, and as our daughter and friends do. Since the time I got seriously ill, Dessie has kept in touch with me as a caring friend. Professionally and personally, she has always gone the extra mile. Whether a big transaction or a small transaction, I've always been treated as if my transaction was huge. With Dessie I feel like a star client despite her working with so many other clients. I imagine they love her as I do and as my wife, daughter, and friends do. Other than Dessie, Stephanie, and Chung Mi, I've had only limited contact with others in their office so I can't say too much about them other than that they too have always been professional and wonderful to me. Mr. and Mrs. G. were absolutely right: No one compares to Dessie. She loves her work and the people with whom she works. I'm happy to say that she is nowhere near retirement age (but not a kid). Please remember that everything I've written about Dessie applies to Stephanie and Chung Mi as well. Dessie is, they are, THE BEST. read more

I just got recorded! My first house I feel so lucky to know this gorgeous team. We had a long search according to my special need... but Dessie; my agent, was there for me more like a sister... she cared and walk me through all the things I didn't know. As a first time house buyer; and as a single mom I had so much fear and stress during the search. As we go further, I learned a lot about what to look for . With this team I felt like having my family with me. This was one of my best life experiences. I will never forget and will be always thankful read more

I couldn't be happier with Stephanie Vitacco and the team at Equity Union. They came highly recommended to me, and I can see why. They helped me through the very emotional time of selling my mom's house. It was in a trust and Stephanie is very knowledgeable about this type of sale. She advised me on what was needed to spruce the house up and stage it. Her team made sure to verify that the buyer actually had the funds and loan qualification before accepting an offer. They also did their own inspections before selling, to make sure there were no surprises. They kept me informed of every step of the process. They professionally photographed the house, made beautiful brochures, listed the house on multiple internet sites and did broadcast emails to other agents. An open house was held within a few days of listing. I had multiple offers in less than a week. Listed and through escrow in less than a month. Highly recommended! read more

When it came time to sell a long-held investment property, we wanted to be sure we picked a realtor who could handle every element of the sale with the greatest expertise, someone who could maximize the value of the transaction for us. We researched realtors very carefully, and settled on Stephanie due to her stellar reputation. At the time we sold, the LA market was murky, yet Stephanie handled everything brilliantly, and most important of all, we strongly felt she was representing our interests every step of the way. She is a class act through and through. Her team is also outstanding - communication was excellent throughout all the ups and downs of escrow. We highly recommend Team Vitacco without reservation. read more

We interviewed 5 well-qualified brokers and we chose Team Vitacco. Stephanie, Joey, Dessie, and Chung Mi were amazing. We couldn't have picked a better group. They were professional and extremely kind throughout this process, and they brought an invaluable network to get our home fully prepared and marketed in a world-class way. Furthermore, Stephanie referred me to a phenomenal broker to help me buy a home in another market. Team Vitacco truly saw this process through for us, from beginning to end! Thank you Stephanie for your invaluable advice and your guidance on this deal. Your consistent demeanor was critically important to me and my family for this emotional process. Your contract knowledge, and your willingness to have the tough conversations with both me and the counter party helped me get to get this deal done at the price that I wanted. For all the things I'm truly grateful to you and your amazing team. read more

Within 2 weeks of putting the property on the market, Stephanie was able to find a buyer for me. The property got recorded today without any issues. Stephanie and her team were very responsive, communicative, and hard-working. Thank you, Chung Mi, Sue, Sarah, and Dessie for helping me to sell my condo. read more
