From our Raving Fans

 We had an outstanding experience with Stefani selling our home. She is knowledgeable, responsive, and a true pleasure to work with. The sale was easy and flawless - not one problem, and we sold our home above the asking price in 2 days. She went way above and beyond on a number of other things - recommending a roofer, moving company and a number of other resources - all of which were fantastic referrals and saved us a lot of time and money. She is very well networked and resourceful. I just can’t speak highly enough about Stefani and her team - they are incredibly knowledgeable about the ABQ housing market. Very experienced Real Estate professionals - she gave great guidance at every step, including how to navigate a bidding war. She and her team are on top of EVERYTHING - every little detail. And just wonderful to interact with - she made the very stressful process of selling a home completely smooth sailing and easy. We had a perfect and flawless experience with Stefani and her team. It really doesn't get any better - amazing all around; we were very happy! And very important - she is particularly effective in helping elderly clients sell their homes and settle into their next chapter in life. She is incredibly patient and compassionate and understands the unique needs older clients have during a very stressful time in their lives. She has a whole crew of past clients/now friends at La Vida Llena (including my mother) that she stays in touch with.

I am pleased to give my personal and professional testimony about the work of Stefani Quintana of Coldwell Banker Legacy.  I had the opportunity to work with her on a quite difficult real estate transaction with a client and trust beneficiary.  The client was fairly difficult to work with and hard to please, but Stefani was a real professional throughout the entire process.  She was patient and always provided the very best service to the client.  She worked diligently and the end result was more than satisfactory to all concerned.

I recommend her without reservation.

Sincerely,

It is my pleasure to recommend Stefani Quintana as a real estate broker for any individual or family that is looking to sell or buy a home. Stefani had an initial meeting with me and took diligent notes regarding my specific needs necessary to sell my home in Albuquerque, NM. I am an 86 year old woman whose husband died 3 years ago, thus leading to my decision to sell and move close to my son in another state. 

Stefani and her partner Randy Arnn made excellent use of search engines and real estate databases to quickly find a variety of any new information about the area, best school districts, etc. with current information buyers would like to know.

Stefani is very charismatic, friendly, outgoing and honest. She came up with a deal that was good for us and made the seller happy as well. Throughout the home selling process, she also took over problems that needed care due to the fact that it was an older home, and I had moved out of state. Stefani handled these problems with patience, good decisions and an amazingly pleasant attitude.

I found Stefani and Randy to be highly attentive brokers, almost as if I were their only customer, although of course that was certainly not the case. She returned all phone calls and emails the same day and I never felt neglected or unimportant. Stefani was honest about some major changes that I needed to make in the house to attract buyers, and her advice worked like a charm.

I am pleased to recommend Stefani Quintana to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. In my opinion, she is hands down the best in the business and if you ever need to move, she would be my first choice in real estate brokers. 

Sincerely,

During a very stressful time when both of our parents were in assisted living facilities unable to care for themselves, and when all the children were out of state, we hired Stefani Quintana to help our parents sell their house, get it ready for showing and assist in organizing an auction for  the sale of their household goods.  And she did a fantastic job with respect to all of these matters.  Her communication was excellent and her efforts were always exceptionally timely and professional.  But her assistance went well beyond her contractual duties.  She was continuously and voluntarily taking on numerous other duties to assist us because  there were so many things that were almost impossible for us to do from a thousand miles away.   My parents considered her a Godsend and I could not recommend her more highly.   We could not have been happier with her service, her diligence, her results and maybe most importantly her exceptional caring and kindness.  If you find yourself in a similar situation, I could not imagine a better choice.

Dear Stefani,

When Hanna and I first contemplated selling our house we were overcome with dread at the thought of the size and complexity of the task. Downsizing, estate sale, repairs, house sale and attendant paperwork were daunting.

Good fortune led us to Loving Transitions and to you. What a change in our circumstances. You took over the responsibilities and together with your professional contacts the entire operation became a pleasant experience. Everything, and I mean “everything” was excellently taken care of. The whole sale and move was actually a calm and pleasant experience. We cannot thank you enough for your expert help and careful considerate treatment of us.

Stefani you were a pleasure to deal with and I would recommend you to anyone selling their home enthusiastically. Thank you warmly again.

Cordially,

Lawrence Lattman

I highly recommend Stefani and Randy and Loving Transitions for your transition needs and sale of your home!  My brother and I both live in Texas and after our fathers passing, we were faced with the daunting task of fixing his home which needed some major repairs.  We were concerned about managing this process remotely.  They were an absolute Godsend!  They managed everything from assessing the repairs, hiring the people for the job and ensuring it was done properly, within budget and on time.  

They communicated throughout the entire process and once the home was in great shape, they sold it in 24 HOURS!  Stefani and Randy are very honest in their advice and direction, both with the improvements necessary with today's housing market as well as the sale of the house.  The service they provided us allowed us to be able to focus on Dad's final needs without worrying about the estate sale, renovations or selling his house.   

If you are looking for someone who is honest, knowledgeable and will take care of everything – Stefani and Randy are the ONLY option for you!  I can't recommend them enough!

"When your parents who had always been capable, knowledgeable, and able to handle anything, start to become people whose mental and physical needs now need that extra help, and it now becomes your responsibility to change places with them; where do you start? Where is the best place they can get help in this transition? How do you handle everything?  

My dad and I found all the answers in Loving Transitions.  They knew exactly where to start.  They knew the places where the best care was given and experts who were able to professionally access and give the kind of care that was needed.  

Loving Transitions gave me the support and help I needed to go through this as well as being there to help my dad ease into the dramatic changes in his life.  

They even knew movers who would help pack, label, move, unpack and arrange the new place if needed. 

They have gone to his new place for meals and introduced him to people who also live there.  They did not just forget us when then job was done. 

Loving Transitions really live up to their name."

 “I work at a senior living community, and I have referred several residents to Stefani and her team.  Quite commonly, we have folks that are concerned about selling their home.  Stefani is who I refer people to right away!  Every time I’ve had an interaction with Stefani, it’s a positive experience.  She is so prompt, so professional, and communicative.  I love hearing from our residents how helpful Stefani has been and how happy they are that she helped them.  She takes care of every step – beginning to end! I only have positive feedback on working with Loving Transitions.  They truly live up to their name.  I have enjoyed working with Stefani, and I will continue to happily refer people to her.” 

Anna Herrera, Sales Counselor

I never thought that I would be in a position to need the experience of someone with Sefani’s capabilities and knowledge. She came with excellent recommendations and a willingness to help me make difficult decisions. Living across the country and having a full time job, I realized it was going to be difficult, but Stefani did all the foot work, got the needed paperwork, and kept in communication with me. The timing of selling a home, the contents, and coordinating the needed repairs is very time consuming but Stefani and her team made it happen. Truly, I will never be able to put into words how she helped me and my family through this difficult time. Stefani and her team went Above and Beyond. Thank You!

Hi my name is Cathy and I am an out-of-state caregiver for my mom who is diabetic and has dementia. My mom is a highly intelligent woman, who raised three daughters with minimal support from my father who left us when we were young. My mom was successful on so many levels and was able to retire with a pension at the age of 60. Within the last year and a half, I found that my mom’s diabetes and memory was declining which her CNP, Clinical Pharmacist, and Neuropsychologists/Clinical Psychologists’ validated. I developed a Case Management Care Plan with the help of highly trained professionals to assist her and initially provided her with in-home care several times a week. Her latest surgery exasperated her dementia, which made it imperative that we find a new home, an Assisted Living Memory Care Facility.

I was referred to Stefani Quintana with Coldwell Banker Legacy and owner of Loving Transitions. In review of her website, I knew that she was exactly what I needed and I made a quick call. She visited me at my mom’s house within a few days of my phone call. This visit was not about selling my mom’s house, Stefani made sure that my needs were met during a very stressful, heart wrenching time where I needed to find a way to pay for my mom’s new home which is costly. I remember vividly she told me “I’ve got this, I’m bringing in the Cavalry”. She wasn’t kidding. I was able to meet her husband Randy Arnn who is not only a phenomenal husband but also a great business partner. Both Stefani and Randy are true professionals who believe in transparency. Through their network base we were able to host an estate sale, sell her home in a reliable, safe, and timely manner. All of this was conducted within a three-month period just in time so that I would not have to pay her next month’s rent out of my personal savings. The estate sale hosted by Treadstone/Sunrise Estate sales, was a life saver. What you see is, is what you get. The home repairs and inspections were performed within a timely, professional manner without breaking the bank. All real estate and title company transactions were performed through timely, secure means. I never had to fly to Albuquerque to sign a document or to close on the house. All of this was performed remotely and funds transferred directly into my mom’s account. I never had to worry about a thing. Stefani and Randy had my back the entire way.

Visiting my mom over Mother’s Day weekend, my husband and I have found that mom is safe, happy and calls her new home her “home”. The last time I visited my mom while physicians were working with her meds and stabilizing her outbursts, cycling, and sun downing in February, I was disowned and accused of many things. This is part of the day in the life of a caregiver of a parent who has dementia. My mom now tells me once again that she loves me and tells me thank you for taking care of her. I’m not sure I would have ever heard those words again without my two angels Stefani and Randy. What you see and what you read on this website is true, it’s up to you to make the connection that is right for you. My experience has led me to new friends who are Christians, loving parents, phenomenal team who respects each other as a couple. That speaks volumes in my book.

We want to thank Stefani Quintana, and Randy Arnn from Loving Transitions and Coldwell Banker Legacy.  Stefani  took care of everything we needed. She even helped us find a wonderful assisted living facility for our family member. We are from out of town and live in Roswell, NM. She was our bright star to get it all accomplished. She kept us updated along the way and our family member loved her and felt safe with her selling her home. We are very blessed to have her in our lives. A friend forever.

Stefani Quintana and her husband Randy Arnn of Loving Transitions made our move from 2100 sq. ft. to 1100 fq. ft a very smooth transition.  She arranged for the Estate Sale and recommended a Moving Company that she had worked with for years.  Since our friends had used her and her recommendations, we were very comfortable using her people.  Everyone we worked with was so professional.  We felt we hit the jackpot when we found Stefani, Randy and Loving Transitions!
