We worked with Stephaine Ziemann when we recently sold our home. She was always available for a quick question and solid advice. Very knowledgeable about the real estate business. We trusted her input and expertise. The buyers also did not use an agent so with neither side represented in the traditional sense, partnering with Stephanie helped us navigate the process, stay on track with our timelines and get to the closing table effectively. Stephanie also gave us names of companies for estimates on repairs needed. I would recommend Stephanie. Flat fee brokers are the way to go. Very fair fees and it allows for competitive pricing of homes without having to take into account a potential 6% extra costs to selling a home.

Stephanie was easy to work with and ended up making me $28,000 more than I thought I would. "Thank You", Stephanie!

We chose Stephanie because she has a discounted price for selling a home and my wife and I thought giving up a standard 6% ownership stake in our hard earned equity was a rip-off. Other brokers charging this promised more and said "You Get What You Pay For". That is nothing but a pile of hogwash because with Stephanie we got more than we paid for. I have owned far too much real estate in my life and used countless brokers charging me the full rate. Not one of them performed and went out of their way to get things done the way Stephanie did for us, including repairs and actually paying for one while we were traveling. Plus I used to be a licensed agent in Hawaii for 7 years, and know first hand that sellers get nothing more for their money using a broker charging 6%. If you can get a huge discount (in our case $8000) and superior service 2nd to none, it makes no sense to use anyone else. Unless you just don't like saving a pile of money!

Stephanie Ziemann of Simply Smart Realty was a pleasure to work with when selling my Colleyville, Texas home. While I've owned homes for the last 30 years, I have never sold one. I highly recommend her "full service" package. It is very reasonably priced and Ms. Ziemann provided all the same service as a traditional real estate agent. She was extremely responsive to all my questions and we sold the house in 17 days! I have already recommended her to friends in the area who are selling their home and will continue to do so in future. Thank you, Ms. Ziemann.

Utilizing the flat fee model offered by Stephanie Ziemann and Simply Smart Realty saved us thousands of dollars in the recent sale of our home. Even though they provide a "discount" rate, Stephanie was fully engaged and provided excellent service and representation throughout the process as you would expect from a traditional higher cost listing. Would recommend to others.

We recently used Stephanie to help us purchase a home in Flower Mound, and couldn't be more pleased with her service. We originally planned on being unrepresented, hoping to capture some of the commission savings, but we found the selling Realtors were not eager to work with unrepresented out of state buyers. Stephanie's buyer rebate program ended up being exactly what we needed, allowing us to save a substantial amount of money on the purchase, but still offering full service support. I went into the deal expecting minimal service since she was rebating 1/3rd of the commission, but that couldn't have been further from reality. In fact, prior to working with Stephanie we submitted an offer through another "full service" broker in the area, and the level of real estate knowledge was abysmal at best. Needless to say, we were thrilled with the change in representation and transparency. I will recommend Stephanie and Simply Smart Realty to my friends and family without hesitation, and that is not something I take lightly.

Stephanie was recommended to us and we are so thankful! We were more than willing to give her a try if it meant saving $27,000! If it didn’t work, we could always go the ‘traditional’ route. We feel we got full-service representation for a low flat rate! She was professional, knew her stuff, and got it done! From the keybox, signage, showing service, photographer, and the listing presence all over the web, no one could tell we paid less to market it with Stephanie – different can be very good for the bottom line! We knew we could count on her every step of the way in the not-so-fun world of selling your home. She was a wealth of information, helpful, and has a great ‘contact list’. Thanks, Stephanie…in all of this, you were a bright spot for us!

WOW, what a great experience. We have bought and sold 7 homes in over 30 years, and this was probably the smoothest sales transaction we have had. Stephanie knew the market well and kept us informed on all aspects of our listing and sale. We sold for very close to our asking price (~98%) and saved thousands in commissions, even while using Stephanie's "Full Representation Listing" service. We would highly recommend her for your real estate needs.
