Stephanie Ehman has performed a miracle for our family over the last two days. She has been the most patience and graceful agent I've ever had the chance to work with. This evening she spent her personal time helping me rush against a deadline. She is dedicated and patiently guided me through processes I've never had to deal with before. She is incredible and deserves to be recognized for her hard work. Thank you so much, Stephanie!
