If you’re buying your first home in Mercer County, you need more than just an agent—you need someone who understands the stress, excitement, and big questions that come with being a first-time buyer.
I’m Stefanie Prettyman, and I specialize in helping first-time homebuyers confidently navigate the process in Hamilton, Ewing, Lawrence Township, Princeton, Pennington, Hopewell Township, and West Windsor.

I’ve guided dozens of buyers through their very first purchase—making sure they understand every step, avoid costly mistakes, and feel confident from offer to closing.


Why First-Time Buyers Choose Me

Buying your first home is a big financial and emotional decision. From loan options and inspections to negotiations and closing costs, it can feel overwhelming—especially in a competitive market like Mercer County.

That’s where I come in.

Here’s how I help first-time homebuyers succeed:

  • Proven experience with first-time buyers
    I’ve successfully closed numerous first-time buyer transactions across Mercer County, helping clients move from renting to owning with clarity and confidence.

  • A clear, step-by-step buying roadmap
    You’ll always know what comes next—from pre-approval, to showings, to inspections, to closing day. No guessing. No surprises.

  • Trusted local lender connections
    I connect buyers with reputable lenders who specialize in first-time homebuyer programs, including FHA, NJHMFA assistance, low-down-payment options, and Police & Fire loans when applicable.

  • Deep local knowledge
    I know which neighborhoods in Hamilton, Ewing, Lawrence, Pennington, Hopewell, Princeton, and West Windsor offer the best value, school districts, commute options, and long-term appreciation for first-time buyers.

  • Education-first approach
    My clients never feel rushed or pressured. Every question is answered, every option is explained, and every decision is made with confidence—not confusion.
