Stephanie entered the job market during the mortgage crisis of 2006, and she took a job in the one sector that was hiring - Distressed Properties. She spent the next decade building a reputation in creditor-owed real estate by leading client acquisitions and strategic marketing.

After ten years, she became an equity stakeholder in United Claims Specialists. She was able to put her love of real estate and knowledge of marketing and branding to use for a proper cause with her Husband Joe Suskind, the founder. With this venture, she wants to help property owners keep money that is rightfully theirs, after spending many years in the banking and mortgage industry helping banks foreclose on property owners.

Her goal in life is to help people recoup their losses, restore their properties and protect their hard-earned assets.

In 2016 she launched a consulting firm applying her skills in brand storytelling for service-based businesses and began dabbling in social media marketing.

After 10 months of ditching the basic B2B perspective, she was named one of the nation's Top 10 Social Media Influencers of 2020 by Forbes Magazine.
