More About Me
Stefano is an energetic REALTOR® who draws upon his varied experience with residential sales, property management, multi-unit real estate investment, and single-family home development to assist clients in buying and selling property in San Francisco. As a San Francisco homeowner himself, he understands the opportunities and challenges of real estate in the city as well as how important each transaction is for everyone involved.
Stefano brings wide-ranging professional experience and extensive community involvement to his work in real estate. His past professional experiences have included:
* teaching social studies at a public high school
* directing a national non-profit organization
* guiding the formation of a charitable foundation
* performing as a professional musician
* researching and writing a book on international volunteerism.
As part of his commitment to building stronger communities, he makes a charitable donation at the close of every escrow to a community organization.
The son and grandson of San Franciscans, Stefano’s love of the city is in his blood. He has owned and lived in Bernal Heights, NOPA, and Noe Valley, and has a deep appreciation and extensive knowledge of the city’s diverse neighborhoods. He enjoys working closely with people and is just as comfortable helping a first-time homebuyer get a foothold in the market as he is facilitating an experienced buyer purchasing a dream home.
Stefano is a graduate of both Stanford University and the University of California at Santa Cruz. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in Politics and Community Studies as well as a Masters of Education and Single Subject Teaching Credential.
As his past experiences suggest, Stefano is a people-person who thrives in situations where he can facilitate and advocate for others. Whether working with buyers or sellers, Stefano’s top priority is listening to his clients, advocating on their behalf, and doing what it takes to meet their needs.
What His Clients Have to Say about Stefano …
"Stefano is an exceptional agent who embraced every aspect involving the sale of our home:
a complete market analysis at the outset; staying on top of sales in the area throughout the period before and during our home listing; providing sound advice and expertise with the piles of paperwork that accompany a home sale; and most importantly, making himself completely available during the entire process. The results of our sale with Stefano far exceeded our expectations.” — Carolyn Gencarella & Peter Brastow
