We are thrilled to introduce Samantha Stefanowicz, one of our dedicated real estate agents at MacDonald Realty Group. Sam received her real estate license in August of 2024. Lets read about where she started and how far she has come!

Some people know from an early age exactly what they want to do, but for Samantha, the path to real estate was anything but ordinary. With a background in veterinary medicine and a lifelong love for horses, she never imagined she’d find herself thriving in the world of real estate—yet here she is, making waves and helping families find their dream homes.


From Vet Med to Real Estate: A Leap of Faith

"Honestly, no," Samantha admits when asked if real estate had always been her passion. "My parents got into real estate later in life and became super successful at it! I have always had a passion for helping people and animals, but in my 20s, I spent my time in veterinary medicine, focusing on animals and going to college trying to figure out what I wanted my long-term career to be. Going into real estate was kind of a last-minute idea for me, and I figured that my work ethic, attention to detail, and willingness to learn were worth giving it a try. I'm so glad I did because I love the industry so far and I look forward to my growth in real estate."

That leap of faith turned into a career she now loves, and one transaction was all it took to confirm she was in the right place. "There was a thrill and a feeling of satisfaction knowing I helped a family find a home where they will share and create so many memories." That moment was when Samantha knew she had found something truly meaningful.



What Keeps Samantha Motivated?

Real estate isn’t always easy—especially when you’re working solely on commission. It takes dedication, perseverance, and a strong support system to stay motivated. Fortunately, Samantha has exactly that. "My husband has always supported me in every aspect of my life, and I want to be able to give back and do the same for him! Also, my horses. They keep me humble and motivated."

Her horses have been a lifelong passion—one that has shaped her discipline and drive. "I have been passionate about horses since I could talk. I grew up riding horses, and now as an adult, I own horses and compete in eventing when I have the time!" That same commitment to learning and growing in equestrian sports translates directly into her career as a real estate professional.

Words of Advice to Her Past Self

If she could go back to the day she received her real estate license in August 2024, Samantha knows exactly what she would say: "You're gonna do great! Just stay on the path and don't get defeated."

It’s advice she lives by every day. Real estate has its ups and downs, but with her dedication and unwavering work ethic, she’s proving that persistence pays off.
