About Stefanie Tolbert

Stefanie Tolbert knows what it feels like to arrive in a new city with a short timeline and a long list of questions. Over the years, she and her family bought and sold homes about ten times during her husband’s military career, bringing that firsthand experience to every client relocating to East Alabama. She listens closely, pays attention to the details, and keeps clients informed so they’re never left wondering what happens next.

Originally from Birmingham, Stefanie first came to Auburn as a student and fell in love with the town. After years of moving with her family through Enterprise, Washington, and North Carolina, she returned to Auburn in 2018 and has been happily settled ever since. She has lived in Opelika’s historic district, the Pepperell Mill area, and now Mimms Trail, so she can speak to the character of each neighborhood from experience.

Real estate has been part of Stefanie’s life for as long as she can remember. Her mother was a real estate agent, her father has spent his career in mortgage lending, and she worked in a real estate office in Birmingham right after high school. Her varied background includes photography, hairstyling, and working for a construction company that handled inspection repairs and historic home renovations. Together, this experience gives her an eye for presentation, an understanding of what’s behind the walls, and the ability to connect clients with the right professionals when questions arise.

Stefanie has a soft spot for historic homes, architecture, and Mid-Century Modern design. She has lived in two homes nearly a hundred years old, and she loves spotting the potential and character in a house, whether it’s a century-old bungalow or something newer with an interesting story. Outside of work, you’ll find her at an estate sale or antique shop, at a book event at Auburn Oil Booksellers or her book club at Whistle Stop Bottle & Brew, or grooming dogs at Woof Ave Rescue, where she’s volunteered for seven years. She and her husband have a teenage son at Auburn High School, two spoiled Shih Tzus, and four cats.
