We looked for a house in Ontario for 2 years with a different realtor. 35 houses later, we decided to move to Alberta. Stacey took on the responsibility of helping us find a house.. She was the perfect fit to fill the role.. She was quite helpful and quickly figured out what we were looking for. Luckily it didn't take too many houses to find our purchase.

Stacey Kelley was and remains a perfect fit for us as a realtor who fulfilled our specific needs and wishes both for our new home and move back to Alberta.
Without her expertise, patience, integrity, caring attitude and as important, her honesty in guiding us to the offer to purchase phase - there is no doubt that we would not have ended up with the home we now call home.
Given the housing market in and around the Calgary area, we were grateful for Stacey, a professional who knew exactly what we wanted in a home and knew how to negotiate and navigate our search in a quick manner.
Stacey has become someone who will remain our realtor for Alberta (but we don’t plan on moving) and has also become someone we consider a friend, who is always invited to drop by anytime.
Thank you Stacey, we love our new home, thanks to your efforts! The stress is finally over. Your friends and clients, christine and sherm

Stacey Kelley has my full appreciation and my highest recommendation for anyone seeking a professional real estate agent. From start to finish, she was the definition of professionalism. Stacey offered a clear, honest market evaluation right from the beginning—no sugarcoating, just upfront insight that helped set realistic expectations. She truly listened to my concerns, especially knowing I was working with limited resources.
What stood out most was her compassion and understanding. I was trying to purchase my late mother’s home, and Stacey handled the situation with incredible understanding and care. She was patient with me during the probate process and the inevitable bank complications that come with inheritance matters, always providing clarity and support when I needed it most.
Every home she showed me was thoughtfully selected with my situation in mind—never a waste of time, always with purpose. Her communication was timely and professional, and her presentations were clear, complete, and always well-prepared.
Stacey made an emotional and complicated process so much more manageable. I’m truly grateful for her support and cannot imagine having gone through this without her.

Stacey is a spectacular Real Estate Agent. We moved from Ontario to Calgary and were looking for a very specific home at a time when very few houses were available (February 2022). Stacey, through hard work and long days was able to find the perfect house and helped us through some tough negotiations. I would recommend Stacey to be your Real Estate Agent.

Stacey went above and beyond to make our first home buying experience as easy and stress-free as possible. Any time a new property within our parameters was listed, she contacted us to set up a viewing before we could even shoot her a text. This level of being "on-the-ball" was crucial for us to not miss any properties of interest during the cutthroat real estate market of 2022. She was integral in the negotiation process, and with her expertise and knowledge we were able to purchase our home for BELOW the listing price. We were resigned to the fact that we would be stuck in multiple bidding wars to get the home we wanted, but were relieved to find that was not an inevitability with Stacey in our corner. If we could give her 6 stars, we would!

I worked with Stacey for selling a condo, and I could not recommend her enough. She is very attentive and trustworthy, and makes the process smooth for her clients. She helped me navigate any complications that arose during the sale which made the process much less stressful than it could have been otherwise. I was also outside the country during the sale and she went the extra mile in ensuring the condo was ready for viewings, and to reach out to different people during the showing and sale process, which was above and beyond what I had hoped for.
On a personal level she is also extremely positive and wonderful to work with. I would highly recommend her as a real estate agent to anyone.

Stacey is the realtor you can count on! She kept us updated EVERY step of the way in the purchase of our condo. Her attention to detail made our transition from house to condo very rewarding and as stressless as one could hope.

Stacey helped our family sell our mother's home recently when she decided to move to a retirement home. Stacey was lovely to work with and could not have been more helpful. She was available as needed for meetings, she answered our questions and handled any concerns immediately, plus she gave us great advice when requested. I would not hesitate at all to give Stacey a call the next time I require a Real Estate Agent.

Stacey went above and beyond as a realtor. She spent time shopping for my new home , negotiated a good price for my new home and assisted on many questions on my home I sold in addition to the house I purchased. Would recommend Stacey as a realtor to all my family and friends.

I work with a lot of realtors. What I've learnt is there are the ones who really know what they are doing and the ones that don't understand the process as well as they should for clients' best outcome. Stacey is certainly a realtor I'd be glad had my back if I was buying or selling a property. You should give her a call.

We would definitely recommend Stacey , she is an amazing realtor ! This was not our first selling of a home however, it was the first time we really felt the agent knew her business. Stacey had a complete understanding of our needs she came to initial meeting with very helpful information and explained her process in a way that definitely showed her expertise . She was always very responsive to all of our questions and concerns throughout the process as if we were her only client! Friendly and professional. Jaz and I can’t thank you enough for all the hard work, dedication and the time you spent in selling our home quickly !

Stacey worked closely with us in our condo purchase. We were kept informed on “every aspect” of what to expect - NO SURPRISES and this took so much of the stress away. I would definitely recommend Stacey to friends wanting to make the “plunge” to purchase a home or condo

Stacey was very helpful and professional during the sales cycle of my property. She gave advice on presentation and at a fair price. She worked hard to market it. The house sold in 5 days! Couldn't have worked out better for me. Thanks Stacey!
