Get to Know Stacey Barton

Looking for a hip pad in the Atlas District? A sweet condo in Penn Quarter? An elegant Victorian on historic Capitol Hill? A big, back yard in the burbs? Need to sell any of the above? Give me a call! I love helping people buy and sell Real Estate! I want to be the best Real Estate agent I can be and I do that by making the home buying process fun and stress-free, and the homeselling process quick and profitable.

In order to keep up-to-date with what is happening with DC politics and real estate, I volunteer for the District of Columbia Association of REALTORS® Public Policy Committee and sit on the DC Association of Realtors® Board of Directors. 

Besides selling Real Estate, I'm very active in the animal rescue community. I volunteer with many local groups and focus on TNR - trap, neuter, return of community cats, and fostering cats and kittens that are pulled from the street life.

Stacey was the best find during our home search! She was so patient with us touring home after home as we figured out what we were looking for. She had a keen eye to flag issues with a potential home, and she was so quick to help us move on a bid when we were ready. She was savvy in helping us place a strong bid & negotiating with the seller. From the start we knew she was a skilled & experienced realtor that we could trust, but we were surprised by how personable and thoughtful she was. She was an incredibly calming presence during a very stressful process, and we could not be more happy to have found her--and our new home!

This is now the third real estate transaction that my wife and I have had with Stacey. I must say that each transaction was handled with top notch professionalism, transparency, with care, and honesty. We met Stacey almost 10 years ago as 1st time home buyers. The one thing that stood out about Stacey is that she takes pride in her sales, she makes sure the sale is right for her clients and not for herself, and she is very straightforward and honest. She never tries to pressure you into anything. And provides any and all the information you need to make an informed purchase. Fast forward to earlier this year we decided to sell our townhome and buy a new construction build. The transaction had a lot of moving pieces and parts. And the timing needed to be right the first time for this to work. Stacey helped lead us to the finish line flawlessly. We had to sell our townhome before we closed on our new home. We needed to do so in order to free up our VA loan on our first home to requalify and put it towards the purchase of our new build. We went under contract a few days after we listed our home. We even got to cancel our open house before it happened. We got above asking price for our home. Stacey also negotiated us to rent back, so we did not have to move into a temporary location until our new home was finished. The timing of everything could not have been any more perfect. We closed on the sale of our 1st home just about 2 weeks before we closed on our new home. She got all the documents over to our new mortgage lender to free up our VA Loan and we were able to close on time. We are now living in our new dream home. We appreciate the great work that she has done throughout all 3 transactions. As a 1st time home buyer, as a 1st time home seller, and as a 2nd time home buyer. My wife and I would not want to do these transactions with anyone else. Our real estate agent is better than yours, but yours could be just as good if you work with Stacey.

Stacey did an incredible job helping us sell our house in 4 days and buy another house with a 14 day contingency. She was patient, guided us, and gave us great direction on what to do to sell our home as well as gave us her expert opinion on what the best strategy would be to purchase a new one. After we moved into our new home and had a couple issues pop up, she stuck with us through everything to make sure the house was what was expected. Her follow through is unmatched and she genuinely cares. I would highly recommend Stacey! She knows DC inside and out.

Stacey helped my wife and I purchase our first home in Silver Spring and she was incredible. She made it easy to see some great houses and never pushed us toward something outside of our budget. When she saw something that raised a red flag, she was great at not only warning us, but helping us to understand her concerns. Ultimately, she helped us get our first offer accepted and guided us through a sort of complicated closing process (not her fault). She was immediately responsive, helpful even after closing, and overall helped make our first home purchase a great experience. We've already recommended her to friends.

As a first-time home buyer, my husband and I had tons of questions. Stacey took the time to explain everything, and even taught us what we should look for when buying a home. Little things I never would have even thought of--she was there every step of the way.

We were first time house buyers and Stacey was amazing. She had an in-depth knowledge of the whole DC, Maryland and Virginia metro area. She truly wanted to understand what we wanted and needed in a house (even though we weren't so sure ourselves at first). She was awesomely responsive to finding listings and getting out to see houses. Literally, we did a marathon Saturday seeing 11 houses. She was incredibly patient and helpful walking us through the house-buying process and helping us learn the market and the area. She's a straight shooter and honest, yet tactful. We put offers in on three houses, and Stacey was great letting us know what our offers should look like and why and finally negotiating the best deal for our first home. Because of Stacey's hard work we were able to see, put in an offer and have that offer accepted on July 4th!

I gave Stacey a run for her money right from the start. I randomly reached out to her late one night because we had a common interest. I told her I wanted to list my house immediately and have an open house by the weekend. She met with me the next day and was able to get everything prepared in time to have the house on the market and open in in just a few days. The sale was immediate an then the real work began. We had such a difficult buyer and Stacey kept the ball tolling forward with a calm, patient presence. Even thought I had thrown up my hands again and again and wanted out she made this sale happen despite myself and they buyer. She was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and just super fun to work with. I hope she will help me buy my next one! This one's a keeper. Thanks for everything. I'm really glad I got to know you!

Selling with Stacey made the entire process very easy. I live out of town and had to rely on her to assess the place, find the people to fix some major aspects of my condo. She got the best people who charged a fair price and they made my condo look as good as new. I even staged it after she consulted 3 different companies and they did a terrific job. Stacey got all the people I needed to get the condo to sell, emailed me all the documents that needed signatures and even sold it before the first advertised Sunday opening. I highly recommend anyone looking in the DC area and suburbs who are looking to buy or sell a home to consider using her.

Stacey was fantastic! We were first time home buyers and Stacey (magically) made the process fun. She walked us through everything but in a way where nothing ever felt overwhelming. She worked behind the scenes to make sure everything in the home buying process worked as it should and her familiarity with the area and other professionals helped tremendously. We will absolutely work with Stacey again and highly recommend her.

As a first time home buyer working with Ms. Barton made the process as stress free as possible. She took the time to explain each important step in the process and was incredibly patient. While we were looking for homes she worked with our different schedules; taking each of us to see properties at different times. Having worked in the DC real estate market for an extended period of time Ms. Barton was very knowledgeable about home buyer programs available in DC, lenders, title agencies and had great advice regarding the overall market. Additionally, Ms. Barton was very responsive to all emails, phone calls and text messages keeping us informed in a timely manner throughout the entire process. We would highly recommend Ms. Barton if you are looking for a home in the area (or looking to sell your home).

Stacey was a great agent from start to finish. Her expertise in helping us to prepare our house to list was excellent. That expertise allowed us to receive an offer and close all in less than six weeks. She would be a great agent whether helping a seller or buyer.

Stacey is one of those people who is immediately friendly AND professional. She went out of her way to help me, explain things to me, and was always patient! I brought with me a very difficult and quite uncomfortable situation and she took the high road with another professional who did NOT take the high road. Stacey has an incredibly high level of integrity, knows the DC area as well as the marketplace very well and went out of her way to make my home buying process as smooth and as simple as a home buying process could be. I would and always will HIGHLY recommend Stacey. The was an absolute pleasure to work with!

"When purchasing a home, you need a real estate agent who at least possesses the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate the process effectively. Many agents, including Stacey, offer these traits. When your goal, however, is to purchase a home with confidence that you got a fair deal and are protected from unreasonable risk (even after closing), you need to select an agent more carefully. In my experience, Stacey is one of relatively few agents who also offers this additional level of service."

"Stacey was a very attentive and knowledgable agent. She listened to all my wants and desires and delivered on those. When problems occurred at my closing she jumped into action and got the job done. She went above and beyond for me as a first time home buyer. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs reliable, honest service with a smile."

"Stacey was my Real Estate agent during my search for houses on two separate occasions. She was excellent! She is very knowledgeable and most importantly she listened to my my needs and constraints and helped me understand the process and find the right place for me. In fact, we had a contract signed and submitted 2 hours after seeing my current home. Stacey interacts extremely well with other agents and her clients (based on my experience). I recommend her with my highest level of enthusiasm!"

"Stacey is very prompt, knowledgeable and assertive. Her business acumen coupled with her passion for real estate makes her a strong asset to have in your corner when buying or selling real estate. Stacey helped me get a contract on my sale within one month and closed within 3-weeks after ratified contract. If you want an agent that get results, get Stacey!"

I had a great experience with Stacey. I showed up in Washington DC and only had 2 days before I had to fly home to find a place. I initially showed up looking for places in one part of DC and abruptly changed my mind halfway through the process. Stacey had no qualms acting on the fly and setting up a new list of potential apartments during lunch. The second day, she had created an even more refined list based on my demanding criteria: 2 bedroom, small condo fees, close proximity to a grocery store, near a metro, and only in certain neighborhoods. I ended up finding the perfect place and a year later I am completely happy with it. I would recommend Stacey to any new homebuyer without hesitation.

My wife and I used Stacey as a buyer's and seller's agent. We first bought a new home in the ultra-competitive Capitol Hill area. Stacey took the time to understand our interests, our must-haves, and gave us a list of homes to tour. She also was receptive to our comments and adding homes that we had found on our own. Time is of the essence in this market, and she often contacted us first to arrange times to see the homes which sparked our interest. When buying and selling, we appreciated her thorough research, sage advice, and knowledge of the market. Stacey provided counsel but ultimately gave us the freedom to make the final choice. I would say she seeks to give her clients as much information as possible while providing them the space to make the final decisions. In addition, Stacey is funny and very personable. These attributes came in handy while waiting for the seller to respond to our offer, when interacting with the other party's agent, etc.

"I met Stacey Barton over the telephone when I was living in Belgium about to relocate to Maryland and looking to buy my first home. I was impressed immediately by her commitment to work with me, considering I was so far away. When I did arrive in the area, I had many questions as a first time homeowner and Stacey did an excellent job at guiding me through the process. It was an easy decision to have Stacey represent me again, when I had to sell my house. During this difficult market, Stacey provided me with detailed information to help me in determining price and properly staging my home. As a buyer and a seller, I felt confident that Stacey was doing everything to support me and educate me during the process and I trusted her advice completely."

"I want you to know that you are the very best Realtor I have ever worked with. I have moved many times, bought and sold a variety of homes with many different Realtors over the years... you went above and beyond, really listened, took on the added burden of a long distance closing and handled it all with grace, good humor and above all professionalism."
