With sellers, I specialize in helping them prepare the home to maximize their return, selecting low-cost projects that will make a big impact. With buyers, when you can take part in finding a new home for someone, that is incredibly special.” Lauren has in-depth knowledge of the neighborhoods in Contra Costa County and is able to provide clients with an invaluable perspective on the local market.

Stella Tsakonas and Stephanie Hauser are a dynamic real estate team unlike any other. Their coordination on behalf of clients is uncanny. You’d think they were related –– and they are! Stella moved years ago from San Francisco to the East Bay when Stephanie was born. Since then they’ve lived in Oakland, Orinda and Lafayette, their current home. Sharing a close bond and a passion for helping others make sound real estate decisions, they provide unparalleled concierge service to both buyers and sellers. Stella earned her BA in Marketing and Strategic Planning from the University of Washington and then jumped right into real estate. Extensive construction and renovation experience lets her quickly spot true potential, as well as recognize problems. A certified Relocation Specialist and an astute negotiator, Stella has completed coursework in real estate law and contracts, home appraisal and finance, and risk management. (She often acts as a project manager for homes they prepare to bring to market.) She holds a special fondness for sellers. Stephanie’s BA in Psychology from UCSB emphasized Applied Psychology. Like her mom, she is a natural people person: a good listener, a good communicator and quick to make friends with loyal clients. Stephanie also brings serious tech smarts to the team and naturally employs multiple online platforms in her marketing efforts. As a team, Stella and Stephanie work seamlessly to deliver flawless customer service. It goes without saying they always have their clients’ best interests at heart. And they can be in two places at once, which is crucial in real estate, a profession that often demands time travel. More importantly, their combined skillsets and upbeat attitude ensure clients never leave money on the table, or spend needlessly. The results speak for themselves.
