We couldn't be happier with our experience. Stace helped us prepare and renovate our home to…read moremaximize its value, ultimately selling it for top dollar. At the same time, he expertly managed the purchase of our next home and coordinated the timing so we could use the proceeds from the sale.

We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor who truly goes above and beyond.

would be extremely cautious hiring Stace Valnes to manage work on an occupied rental property…read more We are tenants of our home for eight years. During that entire time, we paid rent on time every month, maintained the property as if it were our own, even handled minor repairs ourselves, and never caused any issues. Unfortunately, our experience with Stace during a renovation project was the complete opposite of what we expected. On two separate occasions, contractors working under his direction entered our home without the legally required notice or our permission. As tenants, that was an unacceptable violation of our privacy and our living space. The project itself took significantly longer than anticipated, and communication was consistently poor. We were given little to no information about timelines or when areas of the property that had become unusable would be restored. The most frustrating incident occurred when my $700 jogging stroller and my husband's specialized engineering tools disappeared. The contractors had moved them from the side of our home to the neighboring property while they painted. We later learned from the contractors that Stace instructed them to throw everything away because he believed it was "trash." Those items were our personal property, and it was never his decision to make. When confronted, he showed no accountability, offered no meaningful apology, and made little to replace what was lost. Throughout the process, I found Stace to be evasive, condescending, and dismissive of legitimate concerns. I gave him multiple opportunities to acknowledge what happened and make it right, but he chose not to. The situation ultimately became serious enough that I filed a complaint with the City Attorney regarding his handling of an occupied tenancy. If you own rental property with tenants in place, I would strongly recommend asking detailed questions about how occupied renovations will be managed before hiring him. Respectful, law-abiding communication with tenants is essential, and based on our experience, that standard was not met.

Not only was she knowledgeable and accommodating but extremely efficient and responsive whether it's a daytime or weekend evenings. She made a whole process like a walk in the park. We originally haven't been picked from a pool of offers but she structured the offer the way that put us in a first backup position which ended up happening as the escrow with original buyer fell through. We are so grateful that we were able to work with her on it because no matter the question, Sarrah knew the answers, gave extremely valuable tips that worked, and hooked us up with best inspectors and lender possible. Thank you Sarrah for making our dream home become a reality we live in. We are your clients forever now!

Shout out to Elizabeth Marquart our outstanding real estate agent for selling our property in just…read morea few days at $30K over appraised value. After interviewing a number of potential agents...it was clear that Elizabeth was the most competent. Her encyclopedic knowledge of the selling process was a great asset as our property was a probate sale which required coordination among the attorneys, escrow, and the probate referee. Additionally, she had a team who resolved the myriad demands of preparing the property for sale, e.g., installing approved smoke alarms, meeting plumbing standards, and arranging the removal of all the excess items left on the property. It is of no surprise that I give Elizabeth Marquart my highest recommendation to be your listing real estate agent.
