I accidentally happened upon the best real estate agent/experience I could have imagined. I was living in Indiana, and looking to move to Pensacola, and rent a house. The clock was ticking and I was struggling to find a place for me and my 2 dogs. My mom made a suggestion to buy a house instead of rent, but I knew I didn't have the money, as I had only saved to make the move not to also buy. However I "browsed" and found a place I loved, and asked a question to what I thought was the listing agent, and Lara Audelo responded to answer my question. I told her my situation and decided to pivot back to rentals. She asked me to just give her a few minutes to talk and explore the possibility of buying, to just see what we could do. I spoke to her for 5 minutes, and the next thing you know I was qualified for far more than I imagined, and in less than 2 weeks I was in contract on my brand new home, and I closed 2 weeks after that. So in less than 1 month I was moving into my forever home. She made the process so incredibly easy, and even did my final walk through via video with me on face time. Then since having moved in, she has visited me with a house warming gift, and sent me a couple of beautiful and thoughtful notes wishing me well. I honestly could not have had dreamed up a more thoughtful, and diligent agent who truly cares about her buyers. THANK YOU LARA for being the most amazing person ever!

All-around excellence!
Stephanie kept in contact with new homes coming on the market, options we may not have considered before. She was an absolute gem to work with!
Because we were coming from out of state, her knowledge of insurance needs was crucial.

Stephanie East: Outstanding Agent
I cannot say enough great things about Ms. East’s effectiveness as our agent. She is very thorough, quick to respond, experienced and knowledgable, tactful, and was a terrific negotiator on our behalf. I have bought and sold about a dozen homes in my lifetime, and I’ve had some very good agents. She is the best of the bunch — I enthusiastically recommend her to you.

Wonderful agent who really goes above and beyond.
Stephanie worked with us for a long distance move, always accommodated our schedule, and helped us find the services we needed to get the property closed. No matter what the ask (some non-standard due to our long distance move) Stephanie was always will to help and reach out to contractors here in Pensacola. I'd recommend Stephanie to anyone looking to buy or sell in Northwest Florida.

From Hawaii to Pensacola – Stephanie Made It Happen
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Stephanie East to purchase a home in Pensacola, and I can't recommend her enough. My parents live in Hawaii, and I was helping them navigate the home-buying process from across the country. With the time difference and distance, we expected things to be difficult—but Stephanie made everything feel seamless.
She went above and beyond her role as a realtor. She took incredibly detailed videos of homes so we could get a true sense of each property. She also took the initiative to request quotes for various updates and repairs, which was a huge help since we couldn’t be there in person. Throughout the entire process, Stephanie was honest, reliable, and genuinely had our best interests at heart.
It’s rare to find someone you can trust so completely, especially in such a big decision like buying a home. Stephanie made us feel informed, supported, and at ease every step of the way. If you're buying in the Pensacola area, do yourself a favor and work with her!

Excellent fromThe start!
Stephanie was on a long journey with me to find the perfect home! She started showing me houses 2 years ago, and finally, after lots of changing of minds, my wife and I found our perfect home! She was with us through every step of the process and her knowledge made the stressful process so much easier. 10/10 recommend her for all your real estate needs!

Great help finding and transitioning into a new home from out of state
We moved from the Great Plains to Florida. We’ve never done an move to a different state. Stephanie was knowledgeable about the areas of
Florida that match us. She is very responsive to questions. We did virtual walk throughs and made a purchase based on her experience and the walk through. We are thrilled with our new home! Stephanie recommended a local lender who was also a great help, communicator and knowledgeable. They made the move smooth. She continues to help us as we transition things. Stephanie is highly recommended!

As first time home buyers we were completely new to this process. Stephanie met with us to understand our needs and worked hard to find us a house we love in our price range. She helped us through all of the unknown paperwork and what to expect. Would highly recommend.

Closed on a House in Just Two Weeks!
I have known Stephanie for 10 years and have worked with her professionally in the past. When she became a realtor, she was the obvious choice to help me find my first house. When the closing for that home suddenly fell through, she went above and beyond. She worked incredibly fast to help me find a second house and got us under contract within two weeks, saving me right before I had to move out of my rental and leave on vacation. She is a caring and dedicated realtor you can can trust to get you in your new home too!

She’s the best!
Stephanie was a huge help to me and my husband as we were buying our first home! She took time to understand our needs, put together lists of potential houses, and spent several days taking us around to view houses we were interested in. Her organization and thorough research made the house touring such a breeze! Her knowledge of the buying process put us at ease, and her quick responses to our questions ensured that we could stay on track with closing. Her good relationships with lenders and inspectors made the different aspects of home buying flow seamlessly! Thank you again for all your help, Stephanie!

I'm a retired military member moving to a region near a military installation
I'm a retired military member moving to a region near a military installation. Stephanie is a certified miitary move Realtor and knows the region because she grew up there. We had contact by email and cell phone prior to coming in and upon our arrival she dedicated multiple days to assist us in our search. We felt like we were her only client while we were there. When we found the home we wanted she gave us information about the comps and worked with us to make an offer below asking that was accepted with no counter. I have already recommended her to a friend and they will be working with her when they move to the area in the next year or two.

Best Realtor Ever!
Stephanie is a realtor you can trust to be honest and dependable throughout the home-buying journey. She was an incredible asset to me and my wife while we were still trying to find out what type of home we wanted to buy. She even went to bat for us with the builder and title companies to make sure we didn’t pay a penny more than we needed to. Thank you Stephanie! We wouldn’t even think of calling another realtor the next time we’re on the market!

Amazing Realtor so happy we had her.
Stephanie was an amazing realtor. She listened to what our needs were, location we wanted to be in, and our budget. We were moving from another state and had limited time to look when we came to Florida. She had numerous houses for us to see and had them arranged in a way as to maximize our time wisely. House hunting can be stressful, nerve racking, and tiring. Stephanie made it enjoyable, informative and as stress free as possible. With her help we were able to find our retirement home and are so happy that we had her as our realtor. We have told all our friends and family that if they ever need a realtor she is the one to see.
