Stephanie Pascal (Realtor®, Green, e-Pro®) entered real estate with a head for numbers; adoration of architecture, older buildings, and loft conversions; and strong knowledge of the local real estate markets where she lives, works, and plays. Since 1994 Stephanie has resided in San Francisco or Oakland (at times both!), so she is uniquely positioned to help undecided cross-bay buyers identify where they will land, as well as sort and prioritize their reasons.
Stephanie belongs to both professional associations (SFAR, OBAR/Bridge) and both MLSs, and she navigates the bridge in a zero-emissions EV, one of many green commitments Stephanie honors in her professional and personal life.
As an experienced remodeler and thorough house nerd, Stephanie is a great asset to have for buyers and sellers alike, and she recognizes value at all ends of the real estate spectrum, from multimillion-dollar luxury homes to modest starter TICs. Not all windows, flooring types, and even marble countertops are created equally; Stephanie knows the difference!
People who work with Stephanie find her warm and empathic; resourceful and intelligent; ethical and transparent; value oriented and “non-salesy”; curious and deeply listening. Above all, Stephanie’s creativity and attention to detail set her apart. Prior to real estate, Stephanie spent most of her life professionally writing, copy editing, and proofreading, so she brings her eagle eyes to both contracts and structures, topped off with a marketing, publishing, and arts background. Additionally, her professional training in feng shui (three-year BTB school), NLP (certified practitioner), and ICON negotiation, as well as experience with rehab, investment property, and landlording, round out her real estate toolkit.
All of the above led to Stephanie’s instant success in the business of being an agent, but specific and measurable results have included these: More than 70% of buyers got their first or second offer accepted—without overpaying. Approximately one-quarter of these received price negotiations or other concessions after acceptance in a sellers’ market. A Bernal Heights listing set the local record high for price per square foot at the time of the sale; a Potrero Hill/Showplace Square listing set the record high price and price per square foot in its building and against all local comps. East Bay sellers enjoyed Stephanie’s unparalleled access to San Francisco buyers and their agents through her San Francisco network.
Also setting Stephanie apart are her green and safe container commitments: Stephanie has been sought after in the LGBTQIAPK+ community and by people with multiple chemical sensitivities (MCS/EI). Her fragrance-free vehicles/personage and support of all identities and alternative lifestyles have made her the clear choice for some clients, in addition to her keen abilities.
Stephanie is also quick to identify where analysis ends and emotions begin, and vice versa. In other words, there are endless spreadsheets, charts, and figures that can prove or disprove value, but emotions are factors in residential sales. Understanding where the rubber of emotion meets the road of logic and when brakes should be applied has been a cornerstone of Stephanie’s value, and she is never afraid to tell a buyer, “I don’t think this is the house for you.” Every transaction has ended with happy clients. Could you be next? They all start with simply opening a conversation and feeling out the fit, so call or write Stephanie if you are compelled.
Outside of real estate, Stephanie is an Argentine tango dancer, avid gardener, plant-based foodie, supporter of the arts, and sustainability advocate with particular interests in equitable housing opportunities, social justice, and food justice. She’s also an animal lover who is owned by Kazoo the rescue eclectus parrot.
