Meet Casey Sternsmith, founding partner of the Sternsmith Group
In business, exceptional service is what matters most to Casey Sternsmith. With Casey at the helm of the Sternsmith Group, this level of commitment is shared by all members of the group who pride themselves on being excellent listeners with unwavering integrity, and for providing the best advocacy and negotiation skills for their buyers and sellers. Casey’s philosophy of “love what you do, or do something else” is at the forefront of the entire team, which is evident by their true passion for helping clients achieve their real estate goals.
As a leader in real estate marketing, Casey employs tried and true traditional marketing as well as cutting-edge strategies such as social media marketing and professional videos for every home – from small condos to luxury estate properties. Casey’s clients also benefit from her vast personal network as a lifelong resident of the area. As a result, she often achieves unprecedented outcomes for her sellers with quick sales and prices exceeding list price. To her buyers, Casey is known for excelling in competitive multiple-offer situations.
With more than 10 years of results that speak for themselves, Casey never looks at the process as a transaction, but rather as a personal decision and life choice that impact each and every day of their life. Because of this, a great deal of Casey’s personal business, and the Sternsmith Group’s as a whole, comes from repeat businesses and referrals.
Prior to her career in real estate, Casey owned and operated a personal training/Pilates studio in San Mateo where she honed her customer service, management, organization, and marketing skills. Combined with a bachelor’s degree from UC Santa Barbara, all of this proved to be the ideal foundation for her future success in real estate. Casey and her husband have two small children and reside in Hillsborough.

“SAN MATEO HOME BUYER: Working with Casey was a pleasure! I first began 'talking' about looking for a home in the Spring of 2009. Casey kept in touch, but was never 'pushy'. She helped me when my life plans finally came around and I was ready to buy. In just over 4 months I was in a home and I love it and it was virtually stress free thanks to Casey! ”
“BURLINGAME EASTON ADDITION SELLERS: I strongly, strongly recommend Casey Sternsmith and Monica Seeger of Cashin Co. for homes in San Mateo, Hillsborough and Burlingame. She is a native of Hillsborough and knows every inch of the aforementioned towns, plus the schools and their reputations, backward and forward. Plus, she just had an adorable baby boy and really gets the motherhood thing! Casey is hard-working, effective, has great relationships with other realtors (a plus when you need to get your foot in the door ahead of other offers) and is of impeccable integrity. ”
“THANK YOU FOR SELLING OUR HOME IN LESS THAN 3 WEEKS: Nancy and I wanted to thank you, Monica, and most particularly your team, Casey Sternsmith, Susan Michal, and Christine Kosturos for selling our home in less than 3 weeks. Having lived in this home for over 28 years, we were somewhat apprehensive about the process. The team provided support in all areas including packing, arranging, open houses, house inspections and work that needed to be done and most importantly support for Nancy and I making the process almost painless. As you know, we have been Real Estate Appraisers in this area since 1963 and know most agents in this market. We could not have been happier in having chosen your team to market and sell our home. We look forward to working with you again in the future as well as maintaining our friendship. ”
“CASEY IS AWESOME! WHERE DO I START? Awesome human being, she was very patient with us, came to our house because we have a baby and knew we couldn't make it to her office during business hours. Very knowledgeable about the areas and what we were looking for (good schools, with a limited budget for the Bay Area, etc) Helped us build our offer structure in a very very creative way to make it stand-out and competitive, we competed with 12 offers, and we won! After we closed the deal, she helped arrange a walk-through and even negotiated that we got some extra money from the owners based on a lower valuation, even though we didn't ask her to do that Referred us to the right people to get a better home loan than the one we had Ultimately, I would definitely recommend you working with Casey! Ultimately, I would definitely recommend you working with Casey! ”
“SOLD A TOWNHOUSE IN 2016 IN REDWOOD CITY: We had excellent experience working with Casey. She gave us great insight info on how much to list and how to prepare for selling our house. She is very knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient with answering questions in the Peninsula area. Simply the best in the business. Partnering up with Casey was the best decision we have made. ”
“I COULDN’T HAVE ASKED FOR BETTER LISTING AGENTS TO REPRESENT ME! I would like to express how pleased I was with my house sale experience, thanks to the team. The team guided me attentively through each of the processes with intelligence, boundless energy, great follow-thru, insight and integrity. They flawlessly orchestrated professionals to paint, refinish hardwood floors, refresh landscaping, clean, stage and photograph my home to showcase in its best light, all while staying within my budget. Their marketing plan and pricing advice were right on target and all negotiations and transactions were handled smoothly, from strategizing over the multiple bids, to the close of escrow. I would wholeheartedly recommend the Sternsmith Group to anyone looking for a Realtor on the Peninsula. Their professionalism, experience, work ethic and tenacity are exemplary, and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again for my real estate needs. ”
“HARDWORKING AND HONEST: We only have good things to say about Casey Sternsmith. She made buying our home a pleasure! She understood our goals and hopes for buying right away which meant we were seeing homes that interested us from the get-go. She was hardworking and honest throughout the whole process and never once did we feel like she wasn't working in our best interest. And on top of it all, she has an energy and love for her job that never wanes. She truly wants to see you in the house of your dreams. We will never hesitate to recommend Casey to anyone looking for real estate on the Peninsula as she won't let you down! ”
“MULTIPLE OFFERS AFTER ONE WEEKEND! Casey is an excellent realtor. She first helped me buy a house back in 2007 and just recently helped me sell that house and buy our new home. In three cycles she was very knowledgeable with the timing, processes and the neighborhoods we were working in. I want to highlight the sale in particular - we weren't sure how to prep for the sale so she offered some very specific recommendations on some of the touch-up work and brought in a wonderful stager. Long story short - we had multiple offers after one weekend! (and the Saturday of that weekend was raining hard). She always knew what needed to happen when and she would make sure they all did every step along the way, which made it a lot easier for us. She also is a hard negotiator and always made us feel good about our deals. I would highly recommend Casey for your RE needs. ”

The fact that our home sold so quickly is a real tribute to your expertise. Not to be ignored, was your consistent positive attitude and bright smile throughout. We are very pleased with your work and would be happy to recommend your services to others. ”
“ABLE TO GET US WELL ABOVE ASKING PRICE: Casey was extremely helpful during a stressful time. I had to sell my parents home quickly right after the holidays. Casey was extremely responsive, knowledgeable and helpful throughout the entire process. She was able to get us well above asking price, and was open and honest throughout the entire process. Casey was an amazing partner in this process and someone that I will work with again in the future. I can't thank her enough for the work and effort she put into the sale of my parents home, and making it as stress free as possible for me. ”
