Stephanie Lanier is the founder of Lanier Property Group at Intracoastal Realty, one of the top-producing real estate teams in Southeastern North Carolina, and a founding partner in several real estate development projects across North Carolina.

But long before any awards, titles, or development deals, Stephanie was a social worker — and at her core, she still is one.

Stephanie is also the founder of The Inspiration Lab, a women’s community that recently celebrated its 10th anniversary by raising money and awareness for Children's Cancer Partners, an organization that is deeply personal to her family.

Her greatest and most important role is being the mother of her son Oliver, who has profound special needs, autism, epilepsy, and survived childhood kidney cancer. Walking through Oliver’s medical journey transformed the way Stephanie thinks about leadership, caregiving, advocacy, and community.

When she isn’t working or volunteering, Stephanie can usually be found hosting Sunday supper for her family, enjoying life at the coast, or enthusiastically participating in golf despite being objectively terrible at it.

Katey helps experienced agents create an intentional shift out of full-time real estate while protecting the relationships, legacy, and future income connected to the business they’ve built. She will share practical strategies for creating a smooth transition that serves the transitioning agent, the receiving agent or team, and the clients who have trusted them for years.
