This review will be a bit different from the others here. Just before Thanksgiving of 2024, my wife of 47 years suffered a massive and totally unexpected stroke and died three days later. I found myself suddenly living all by myself in a huge house in Castle Pines Village and engulfed in grief. My wife and I never had children and I had no family living in Colorado or anywhere nearby. Fortunately, my side of our family stepped up to encourage me to join them in Arizona so that "they could take care of me." I decided at that point to engage a realtor to sell our home. I had done some research ahead of this into who to select and Stacie had stood out from the other agents, so I called her. We spent thirty minutes on the phone and never once talked about real estate. Stacie's immediate concern was not about my home, but about me.

This review will be a bit different from the others here. Just before Thanksgiving of 2024, my wife of 47 years suffered a massive and totally unexpected stroke and died three days later. I found myself suddenly living all by myself in a huge house in Castle Pines Village and engulfed in grief. My wife and I never had children and I had no family living in Colorado or anywhere nearby. Fortunately, my side of our family stepped up to encourage me to join them in Arizona so that "they could take care of me." I decided at that point to engage a realtor to sell our home. I had done some research ahead of this into who to select and Stacie had stood out from the other agents, so I called her. We spent thirty minutes on the phone and never once talked about real estate. Stacie's immediate concern was not about my home, but about me. We talked about my life as it had suddenly ceased and the unescapable need for me to start the next volume of my life. She correctly observed that since it was December at that time, there was no need to rush into the real estate market and it was much more important for me to focus on myself and weather my winters (both climatic and emotional) first. As spring came, Stacie and her team developed a plan and timetable for the optimal time to list my home. In particular, she knew how much my wife's gardens in bloom and carefully curated landscaping would enhance our home's value and planned the timing of our listing accordingly. Stacie's biggest contribution was her honest assessment of the Castle Pines Village market in early 2025 and the benefits of right-pricing the home at its initial listing. She played up the strengths of the home in its marketing and advised me not to throw money at the outdated aspects of the home, but instead price the home as it would present itself to potential buyers, knowing that they would be updating the home to suit their preferences. We listed the house in June and had a contract six days later, in large part due to her team's very tasteful staging and thoughtful photographic and textual online presentation of our home. Stacie and her team held my hand through the inspection process and recommended contractors to deal with resolution of those issues. There was an unexpected new problem in the house that arose close to the original closing date that could have threatened the closing. Stacie and I were equally adamant about being fully transparent in disclosing the problem and addressing its resolution. She was a calming influence on her very anxious seller-client in solving the situation and getting to a successful closing. Stacie didn't disappear after the closing, but kept in touch during my move and after my arrival in Arizona. I am extremely grateful to Stacie and her team for all they did for me during an incredibly trying time in my life. I give my unqualified recommendation of Stacie as a Castle Pines Village realtor.
