Captain Realty is Seth Captain. And to avoid any confusion that this is being written by a gnome in India, we will change the distant third-person into the intimate first-person. Seth is me. I am writing this.

I am a dedicated buyer’s agent. And I chose this route for a simple reason: It’s exciting and stimulating.

I pride myself on my knowledge of Chicago. Not who started the infamous fire or who was the last Cub to win a batting title, but rather knowledge that matters to a buyer. Blocks in Chicago have personality, just like the potential buyer. There are thousands of wonderful, architecturally rich blocks in this city, but like us humans, each one has a distinct personality. There is a reason you don’t have 492 close friends. You have a select group. Just a few. Because your uniqueness allows a very limited circle to connect with you. I apply this concept to homebuying. I am the ultimate matchmaker.

An interest in architecture since childhood (my pre-teen bedroom had copies of “100 Building Plans for your Dream Home” and “Great American Architecture…Jefferson to Wright”) combined with years of travel spent exploring over 80 countries, where I spent months at a time getting to know locals from every conceivable culture, which, in turn, gave me a more fundamental understanding of human nature along with the ability to seek out specific locales within a completely foreign environment, which…which, congealed with a two-year employment for an international beverage company where I had the mission of introducing their drink to all of Chicago’s 77+ diverse neighborhoods then eventually married to a brick, three-flat rehab project which created the superagent writing before you. Serving appreciative homebuyers since 2004.

When I want the freshest oysters, I don’t go to the fish counter at the grocery store—I go to John, the East Dennis oyster guy. When my husband wants a perfectly tailored suit, we don’t go to the mall; we go to Puritan Clothing in Hyannis. When I want the best chocolate this side of the Alps, I don’t go to the candy store, I go to The Hot Chocolate Sparrow in Orleans. When you want a home on Cape Cod, entrust your dream to me, Katie Clancy, and The Cape House team. 

In my previous life as a teacher, I helped found the Cape Cod Lighthouse Charter School in Orleans and later taught at The Laurel School in Brewster. Peak life experiences include singing Orff’s Carmina Burana with the Chatham Chorale and the Cape Symphony Orchestra, completing my first Hyannis Sprint Triathlon, and giving birth to my fourth daughter at Falmouth Hospital. A Cape Codder since I was a kid, I can find you the right house, bank, builder, school, auto mechanic, and yes, even the right oyster guy.

As a child of real estate investors, Stephanie has been excited about real estate since she was a kid but took the long route when turning her passion into her profession. Stephanie’s interest in advocating for clients initially led her to law school, after which she spent years as a litigator in New York City, working for firms both large and small.
