Vachon is a luxury real estate professional with more than 30 years of experience in luxury residential construction and real estate, serving buyers and sellers throughout Coeur d’Alene and North Idaho.

Combined with extensive market knowledge of North Idaho and a relationship-driven approach, Stephen helps his clients make informed decisions and achieve the strongest possible outcome.
A North Idaho resident for more than 20 years, Stephen has developed a deep connection to the communities and lifestyle that make the region so desirable. Originally from Michigan, he grew up along the shores of Lake Huron, where his appreciation for the water and natural beauty began. Today, he serves clients throughout Kootenai County and surrounding North Idaho communities, including Coeur d’Alene, Hayden, Hayden Lake, Dalton Gardens, Post Falls, Rathdrum, and Athol.
Stephen is proud to be part of Tomlinson Sotheby’s International Realty in Coeur d’Alene, where he combines his local expertise with the resources, technology, marketing capabilities, and global reach of the Sotheby’s International Realty brand. His experience representing higher-end properties, together with his construction background, allows him to recognize and communicate details that can set a property apart.
Stephen understands exceptional real estate service goes far beyond the transaction itself. He takes a concierge-level approach to client care, anticipating needs, solving problems, and helping manage the details that matter from start to finish. From coordinating inspectors, contractors, and service providers to navigating the many moving parts of a transaction, he remains focused on creating a seamless experience for his clients. Honesty, discretion, integrity, and attention to detail are central to the way he works.
Outside of real estate, Stephen and his wife, Amber, enjoy making the most of the North Idaho lifestyle with their two dogs, Thoren and Jetson. They spend their time enjoying the lake, paddleboarding, exploring the outdoors, and discovering great food and new restaurants together. Both self-professed foodies, they are always looking for their next favorite local spot.
Whether you're buying or selling a home in Coeur d’Alene or anywhere throughout North Idaho, Stephen brings decades of construction and real estate experience, deep local knowledge, and a level of personal service designed to make the process feel seamless from beginning to end.
