Meet Stephanie Sainz

Stephanie came to Franklin on vacation, kept coming back, and in 2011 stopped going home. Six kids later, she's still not over it.

She isn't selling you a place she read about. She's selling you the one she picked. REALTOR® of the Year, 2020. Two terms as president of the Carolina Smokies Association of REALTORS®. Ask her about the drive up 64 in October.
