Stephen Ngo
One of the Treasure Coast's and Florida's proven top agents over the last decade, Stephen Ngo is the team lead of The Ngo Group at Illustrated Properties' Stuart East Office. Stephen's story is interesting: He had a successful career going as a trial attorney in Miami, but after the birth of his son, he knew it was time to come home to Martin County. The Palm City native stepped aside from a lucrative, decade-long career at a top national law firm in exchange for a higher quality of life for his family. As an attorney, Stephen aggressively defended the interests of physicians, business and property owners, contractors, celebrities and other high net worth individuals. He brings the same level or energy and high business acumen to his real estate customer base.
In short order, Stephen became one of the area’s top producing agents. He also received the recognition of his peers, being voted Martin County Realtors of the Treasure Coast’s “Realtor of the Year” in 2018. Stephen also served as President of the Martin County Realtors of the Treasure Coast from 2023-2024. He is versed in representing both high-value properties as a Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist, and has notched some of the County’s highest sales.
Through Stephen’s experience as a lawyer, he honed his keen evaluation and negotiating skills through mediation and settlement of hundreds of lawsuits. This high-pressure, high-stakes experience aids him in being able to understand people’s motivations and ultimate goals, while protecting his customers’ interests. Stephen understands what other professionals go through and the demands on their time. One hour saved in the search of a new home leads to one more hour to be spent with family or enjoying precious free time. These lessons have translated into hundreds of satisfied customers who have achieved their real estate goals. Stephen’s philosophy is to deliver a concierge-level of service: No request is too mundane, no request is too extravagant. This prime objective has translated to consistent satisfaction for his real estate customers.
Stephen’s roots in the Treasure Coast run deep and he is a rare true "Local". As a child, he attended Palm City Elementary School. He graduated from the St. Edwards School in Vero Beach in 1996. Stephen’s parents still reside in the same Martin Downs Crane Creek home they built in 1982. His father and brother are prominent physicians with the Cleveland Clinic - Martin Health System.
He experienced New England winters while completing his undergraduate work at Wesleyan University in Middletown, Conn. with a double major, where he rowed crew and played lacrosse as a midfielder on the NCAA nationally-ranked men’s team. He

Testimonials
“Love the collaboration of the team, always willing to help out. Like that we now have the ability to connect with others with the Jupiter location but hard to attend some of the trainings since they are farther away. Would like more opportunities to attend trainings farther north as well as a little more notice on some of the trainings.”
“Stephen Ngo is not only a professional, polished, a gentleman, and a really intelligent realtor, but he is a great human being, kind, sensitive and always willing to go the extra mile. I can't give him enough praise, other than to say that anyone who employs him will be shocked at his devotion to your needs”

“Great customer service!”
“Steve and his incredible team absolutely knocked it out of the park! Selling a home is truly a team effort, and Steve has built an all-star team that’s second to none. They guided us every step of the way with expertise and care—from in-depth market analysis and perfect listing timing to brilliant marketing, professional staging, stunning photos and video, and seamless coordination of showings. The buzz around our home started even before it officially hit the market, thanks to their strategic marketing. Showings filled up instantly, and just four days after listing, we received an offer (we even had to cancel our planned open house!). With Steve’s skillful negotiation, we secured an offer very close to full asking price. From start to closing, every detail was handled flawlessly. Thank you, Steve and team, for making the sale of our home smooth, fast, and successful beyond our expectations! Highly recommend—truly the best in the business! John & Yvonne”
