I live in Northeast Philadelphia and I work at Keller Williams Real Estate in Langhorne with my husband, Joe who is also an agent. I have a 3 1/2-year old son, who is a real character and keeps me on my toes and laughing all the time.

Six years ago, I was finally smart enough to learn that owning real estate is not only good for a place to live, but also to build wealth. I feel like "if I knew then what I know now," I would have bought some real estate much earlier instead of renting and throwing my money away. For years I wanted to buy my own place, but was afraid. I would like the opportunity to help some smart women into real estate and not make the mistake I did.

I spent 12 years as a bartender before becoming a lead union negotiator and secretary-treasurer for the hotel and bartender's union for several years. In 2002 I bought my first property and finally left the union in 2005 to pursue a career in real estate. Recently, my husband got his real estate license and we have been working together. It works out well for us because we believe 2 heads are better than 1.

I am very dedicated and tackle each transaction, treat each home, as if it were my own. In addition, I have stepped it up a notch as a certified eAgent and have the tech savvy necessary for today's real estate market.

Testimonials

"Buying a house is a huge investment. Stacey understood how I felt and took her time with me even though I must of looked at 20 houses. She helped me with everything from where to look to how to get the mortgage. Stacey made buying a house a pleasure instead of a anxiety-ridden chore."

~ Shirley Schingen, Philadelphia

"I found myself selling my house under less than desirable circumstances, I was going through a divorce and needed to downsize. But my experience with Stacey was the best !! Throughout all my difficulties, having to make some repairs, and getting the paper work and legal materials together Stacey held my hand and helped me every step of the way. Even though it was not the best selling climate, she helped me arrange the best deal and gave me the greatest opportunities to show my house. And, when it was sold, she went out of her way to show me other homes so I could get settled in and start a whole new life. I can't say enough about how calming, supportive and helpful Stacey was. She made the whole process of selling and buying a home a wonderful experience."

~ Wendy Wolf, Montgomery County

Stacey was available morning, noon and night and never tired of our first time home buyer questions. I reccomended Stacey to my brother, Her ability to work with other realtors and to schedule showings on our schedule was important to us. Stacey went the extra mile in showing us only the listings which met our needs.

~ Ryan T. Mulvey, Philadelphia

Stacey was very patient, understanding, and flexible in finding a home that will meet the needs for a first time home buyer like myself. She was even so kind enough to recommend certain resources to make the home buying experience better. It was almost like having that crossing guard who guided you safely across the street when you were little, but instead she is someone who is safely guiding you in the whole home buying process. This results in a safe, reliable, and painless experience that any home buyer will appreciate and remember! Thanks Stacey!
