It's Not About Downsizing.
It's About Getting Your Life Right.
Whatever brought you to this moment, an empty house, a life change, a dream you've been putting off, there's a smarter move waiting for you in Gig Harbor. Let's find it together.
The Empty Nester
The kids are gone. The house isn't. You've loved this home, but five bedrooms and a yard you no longer use isn't freedom, it's upkeep. Let's talk about what life looks like when your home actually fits your life again.

My Life Has Changed
Retirement. A loss. A health shift. A fresh start. Whatever changed, your home should reflect who you are now, not who you were then. There's no rush here. Just an honest conversation about what comes next.

What People Are Saying
"She waited 5 years for us to decide to sell and never pressured us but kept us informed every once in a while. She was very honest and forthright."
"Even after the sale, she has remained available to make sure that we got settled into our home and in our new community."
"We never felt out of the loop. We had a long closing period by choice and she never lost touch."
17 Years in Gig Harbor.
Still Here. Still Selling.
She started here. She led a top office. Then she chose to come back. That's a different thing than someone who just happens to work here.
I started my real estate career right here in Gig Harbor, learning every neighborhood, every price band, and every quirk of the Tacoma Narrows corridor that makes this place unlike anywhere else in the Pacific Northwest.
Then I spent two and a half years leading a large office managing 55+ brokers across the South Sound market. That means I've seen thousands of transactions from both sides of the table, not just as the agent in the room, but as the person training the agents in the room. I know what good looks like. I know what costly mistakes look like too.
In November 2024 I made a deliberate choice to come back to what I love most: working directly with clients, one at a time, right here in Gig Harbor.
When you're thinking about a move this significant, you want someone who knows this market deeply and chose to come back to it. That's a different thing than someone who just happens to work here.

My Approach. My Background. My Standard.
My Story
Great service has been my standard since I started working at 16 and never stopped. I built my career right here in Gig Harbor from the ground up, watching this market through booms, corrections, interest rate swings, a global pandemic, and everything in between. Every year I've spent here has made me a sharper advocate for the people who trust me with one of the biggest decisions of their lives.
I know which neighborhoods hold value. I know which streets have the best resale. I know the Tacoma Narrows Bridge traffic patterns, the school boundaries, the ferry commute math, and the seasonal rhythms that affect when and how you should list. That's not something you learn in a course. It's 17 years of showing up, paying attention, and genuinely caring about this community.
Marketing Expert
When you're selling a home you've lived in for years, you deserve more than a listing and a prayer. Marketing is where I earn my keep. From cinematic video tours and targeted social campaigns to SEO-optimized listings and strategic launch timing, I build demand before your home hits the market, not after.
Your home gets seen by the right buyers, presented at its best, and positioned to compete. That's not a promise. It's a system.
My Background
StaciaSellsHomes was founded in 2015 with one goal: to give every client a better experience than they expected. From 2022 to 2024 I served as Office Leader at John L. Scott Silverdale, overseeing 55+ brokers across the Gig Harbor market. That experience gave me a perspective most solo brokers simply don't have. I've seen what separates transactions that go smoothly from the ones that fall apart, and I bring that knowledge to every deal I touch.
In November 2024 I made a deliberate choice to step down and return to what I love most: working directly with clients, one move at a time. When you work with me, you get me. Every call, every showing, every negotiation, start to finish.
