// ABOUT ME


I'm Stefanie Lugo, your real estate business coach!

I'm the OG Systems Gal, or rather, the real estate agent & founder behind the Market Authority. I've learned a bit after ten years in real estate—right in the action and guiding folks like you. My tried-and-tested methods have helped agents double their deals (or more!) and find that sweet spot of work-life balance they never thought possible.


This Academy is me handing over the keys to the kingdom, those same strategies that worked wonders for me and many others. It's about more than just getting by in real estate; it's about owning it. Ready to step up with the pros and make your mark?
