Biography
Buying or selling property is stressful. One of the biggest complaints with realtors is that we fly by the seat of our pants. I can’t work that way. I’ve created repeatable systems that make your experience less stressful and more enjoyable so we all feel sane by the end.
When BUYING a home:
I help you quickly zero in on homes that meet your needs, and I get the answers you need. I connect you with vetted contractors, lenders, and other professionals throughout the home buying process.
I guide you step-by-step through writing your offer, and I manage and negotiate the ins and outs of the purchase from start to finish to get you the best and smoothest deal possible. I provide expertise, data and context to help you make informed decisions.
When LISTING a home:
I go the extra mile to help you sell your home. Everyone SHOULD be doing professional photography, staging, and marking, but I step it up. I present your home in the best light possible, getting you more offers, higher offers, and on to your next step faster.
I am respected among my colleagues. I’m low drama. Strong, but fair. I have a reputation for being easy to work with, so when an agent sees my name on a sign, they want to bring their buyers through.
I do all these things and more, but here’s where I differentiate myself: I am warm, calm, consistent, and steady. I will be honest and transparent. You will know whenever I see or learn something that’s important--good or bad--and we will be in regular communication so you never have to wonder.
I only take on a select number of clients because I want to offer my very best and I want it to be a good fit. My focus is on quality, not on quantity. I want this relationship to continue beyond the closing, so it matters to me who I work with.
I will walk you through this process with professionalism, hard work, compassion, a sense of humor, and a plan.

Testimonials
“Ms. Ritter is an excellent realtor. She is fa good listener and really understood our needs. She was quick to respond and answer our questions and is always very professional. We could not be more happy with the process of working with her to quickly sell our commercial building and buy another one. I highly recommend Stacey Ritter!”
“Absolutely fantastic, so knowledgeable, incredible guidance through every step of the process.”
“Stacey is the best realtor we have ever worked with. She was very knowledgeable about the properties we looked at. Stacey provided excellent guidance and gave us ideas to consider as we looked at homes. She has an amazing level of attention to detail regarding the purchase and selling process. The process can be very stressful but we felt like we were in excellent hands the whole way. Any time we look to invest in any property in the future, we will ONLY be calling Stacey.”
“Stacey has been a special friend to our family for many years. It started when she was our daughter's music teacher and followed through her college years and beyond. Knowing the type of person Stacey is, made our decision easy to choose her to represent the sale of our home. We know that she is honest, knowledgeable, hard working and a pleasure to be around. She did not disappoint us during any part of the process. It was a comfort knowing she was taking care of our property after we moved out. (We have circumstances that wouldn’t allow us to put our home on the market before moving.) You won’t be disappointed having Stacey as your realtor. She will always do her best when representing you and it will always be with a smile!”
“We would recommend Stacey as a 10 but did not put a 10 for Berkshire Hathaway and this is no reflection on Berkshire Hathaway but feel that the agent also impacts this. Stacey continue to work with us to find a home for our daughter over a year and a half during which we placed offers on two houses and finally closed on the third offer. She was always willing to be flexible and was always a joy”

“You know how they say Doctors make the worst Patients? Well I am a Realtor who found myself in need of a Realtor, and if I was ever a hassle for Stacey, I never once felt that way. I am licensed in a different state and needed to buy a home for my family near Edwardsville. What I was looking for was someone who could help me navigate this market and do for me what I've done for myself and my own clients many times previously. What I found in Stacey was a smart, professional Realtor who not only did everything I make sure I do for my clients (and train the agents in my office to do as well), but I'm even stealing one of her moves for my people going forward because of how much I appreciated being her client! Her communication, punctuality, professionalism and thoughtfulness all left a lasting impression that has me confident in sending my friends and family on that side of the river to her for expert assistance. If you need someone who will take the absolute best care of you throughout the often stressful real estate buying process, look no further and give Stacey Ritter a call!”

She treats every transaction as if its her most important task, because it it the most important thing to her clients. Stacey truly loves assisting people on their real estate journey and it shows in the level of service she provides. Thank you Stacey for being a Rock Star Realtor! You have secured your place in our family as our lifetime Real Estate Expert!”

“Stacey is an amazing realtor! She had our back from beginning to end. We moved across the country and knew we would likely never personally view homes.

Highly recommend working with her!!”

Throughout the process Stacey was happy to go above and beyond the call of duty, taking on way more that required to assist me and my family in selling my home while I was stationed thousands of miles away, even when things became complicated.

She made the process incredibly easy and was so easy to communicate with whenever we needed something.”
“Stacey made us feel like we were the only people selling a house in town. From the time we made our first walk thru and her giving us suggestions on making the house look more presentable, to taking care of the floors at the open house. We were extremely grateful when she took time to walk us thru the offers and explaining them. After an offer was made she kept in contact with us on how the inspections went. She was always there for us! I would highly recommend Stacey anytime you are buying or selling your home!”
