Stephany and Kim’s love story started with one simple rule: don’t fall for the boss. When Stephany walked into an interview at a smoothie and salad shop in South Florida, Kim was sitting across the table, helping his Swedish father, Raul, launch their American dream business. From the second they locked eyes, it was game over… they just didn’t know it yet. But one text about taking a walk on the beach changed everything, and after their very first date, they were inseparable, moving in together within weeks and never looking back. Now, ten years later, married with two young kids and still very much in their own lovey-dovey bubble, their connection is as strong as ever.
Life has taken them on a journey . After leaving Florida for Texas, they faced serious financial hardship, at one point downsizing to a one-bedroom apartment and wondering how they’d make it through. But Kim, a driven and disciplined “gentle giant” originally from Sweden, worked relentlessly to change their trajectory, rising through the ranks at Tesla where he helped manufacture components for the Model Y, Cybertruck, and Cybercab before earning an opportunity at SpaceX. Meanwhile, Stephany, a fiery, passionate, third-degree black belt and proud CEO of the home, runs the show raising their two kids and keeping their world together with equal parts strength and heart.
Now back in Florida, where their story first began, they’re finally ready to plant roots and buy their very first home. With a budget between $250,000 and $350,000, they’re hoping to find a three-bedroom near the water that fits their lifestyle and their story . Kim dreams of the perfect outdoor setup, space to build, tinker, and create, while Stephany is focused on the inside, wanting something beautiful, comfortable, and truly theirs. They’ve come too far to settle, and for this couple, it’s not about impressing anyone else, it’s about finding a home that feels right for them and the life they’ve fought so hard to build.
