“I can't say enough wonderful things about working with Stacey. She listened closely to us, was thoughtful and thorough in her research, and always communicated promptly and professionally. As a family moving to Des Moines from a different state we need to learn the area, and make several trips to get familiar with the neighborhoods. She was extremely patient as we stacked and then recalibrated our expectations and priorities. Stacey was always considerate of our individual needs and gave us all the information we needed to not only be comfortable with this move, but to be excited about this change.”
-
“Stacey went above and beyond to sell our home and find us a new property. We experienced several obstacles, all of which Stacey and her team handled flawlessly with clear communication throughout. We also had several requests for the new property, and Stacey juggled and achieved these requests alongside the arduous workload of closing on two homes.”
-
“This is now my second time using Stacey to sell a property and she continues to impress. She is diligent and hard-working and always has her clients interests and well-being at the top of her list. She is always available and gets back with you right away. I will continue to use Stacey for all of my real estate needs.”
-
“Stacey was there for us at a moments notice to get the ball rolling on a house we randomly went to see. We weren't even looking to move, but found the house by accident and needed to get things moving quickly. Within six days we had sold out old home and had our offer accepted! Stacey does a fantastic job communicating with her clients and getting you the information you need promptly. We can't thank her enough for her work on getting us into our beautiful new home!”
-
“Stacey does such a great job being available for her clients and promptly responding to information when needed. She is professional and always goes the extra mile. We couldn't recommend her more if you're looking for a great realtor in the Des Moines area!”
-
“We highly recommend Stacey Smith for purchasing your dream home/property! We are so grateful for the patience, understanding and guidance Stacey Smith provided us over the 3 years of working together. We personally were undecided, due to life circumstances, on whether to remain in Iowa or having to relocate out of state. Each time we considered purchasing Stacey was right there with a smile on her face for the many many showings, always incredibly helpful and sharing her expertise. When the time was finally right, Stacey jumped right in and walked with us through another number of showings and our endless measuring, until we finally found our perfect home. She was incredibly communicative, set expectations, checked in on us to answer any questions and was with us to the end...or more so the beginning! So happy we were able to share our milestone moment with Stacey! We hope to share many more milestones with Stacey.”
-
“This was my first time buying, and it was definitely an experience. Through it all Stacey was an amazing help. She was very knowledgeable and was willing to answer all of my questions, no matter how dumb. She made this stressful process manageable, and has continued to be a great resource even after closing. I would use her again in a heartbeat, and have already given her contact information to friends who are considering buying in the next year.”
-
“A friend recommended Stacey very highly, and that was a critical factor in scheduling an introductory appointment with her. I couldn't be more enthusiastic in my recommendation of Stacey Smith! We started early, so we could get the value of her experience. She provided recommendations of what investments to make in upgrades, referrals for contractors, changes to make, and how best to stage the property, to get the purchase price we were asking. Once these investments were made, we were ready to list. Stacey had a photographer come in and take photos and a video walk-through of the property to include with the listing. The house was listed, and an offer was received in 2 days!!! Before we even had an open house! We accepted a cash offer for full price! We definitely had some hurdles, with final closing documents needing to be signed by power-of-attorney, but she handled everything that came up. She did the research so we were ready when the documents were ready to be signed. we highly recommend Stacey! You should definitely meet with her! You won't be disappointed!”
-
“I would not have changed a thing . Stacey could not have been better person to represent my home of 25 years. She understood my love for my home and always respected that special relationship.”
-
“We would highly recommend Stacey. She listened to what we wanted in a home and was able to show us many options until we found our new home. We lived a couple hours away from where we wanted to move. She was very flexible and worked with our schedule. Attention to detail is important to Stacey. Communication was excellent! While on a family vacation, Stacey continued to check in on us and kept us up to date on the purchase of our new home. Thank you so much Stacey! We love our new home!”
-
“Stacey Smith helped make my out-of-state purchase a breeze. She was responsive, helpful, and made a very complicated process seem very simple. She was always available to help answer questions, submit her advice or input, and be my eyes and ears on the ground. I would recommend her to friends and family and I will be using her for any and all purchases in Iowa moving forward. She is a real pro!”
-
“Stacey spent a great deal of time with us developing our marketing strategy and making decisions. She welcomed our input on messaging and portraying the unique qualities of our house. She was always available to us. Her advice was always right including the use of a staging company, the timing of the market and the price negotiations. She took the time to understand our motivations and acted accordingly. She dealt with us and a family situation with compassion. I have already recommended her to others.”
-
“Stacey truly went above and beyond in every way possible when it came to selling our house. She was professional, insightful, dedicated, and incredibly kind throughout the process. From high quality photography and creative social media marketing, to answering all of our questions (even before we had them!) and guiding us through every phase - we are so glad we worked with Stacey! She got our house sold the first weekend it was on the market, with 8 offers, and a chosen offer well over asking. Seriously, what more could you dream of when selling your house?”
-
“My Fiancé and I couldn't be happier with Stacey. She was very knowledgeable, clear with expectations and was able to answer or get the answer to any questions we had all in a timely manner. Through her personal connections she was able to find us a home that she thought fit our needs and get us a showing before it hit the market. It turned out to be exactly what we wanted, we got an accepted offer and got my townhome on the market and sold within a couple weeks. We can't thank Stacey enough for her hard work and dedication to her clients. This is my second time working with Stacey and would definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone looking for an agent.”
-
“Stacey was amazing - she was always available and really helped us every step of the way - as a first time homebuyer, many things were very new, but Stacey helped us feel like we had done it all before, and made us feel confident and happy with every decision. Stacey was brilliant in every way, and there is t anything we could fault her on - in each step, she was very professional, but also made us feel Comfortable as buyers to have honest conversations and thoughtful discussion within the process - really made us feel like we were leading the process, rather than being guided through! Our entire process with Stacey could not have been made easier - first time home buying can be a scary new process, but Stacey made us feel confident, and in control of all decisions along the way. Stacey was very responsive and helpful through it all, and really made for a very positive experience for us!”
-
“Stacy Smith what is a breath of fresh air. She was always in command of the transaction, she never had to think about and/or get back to me with answers as she had them ostensibly I ready for immediate feedback. Stacy knew the market well, she had realistic expectations with regards to pricing and timing of the sale, and she had an extensive network of colleagues that she could interact with and utilize for additional exposure. Stacy's feedback was virtually always immediate but was certainly same day or within a couple of hours. She never created false hope but had great suggestions on what could be done to improve the value of the property. She understood the inspection process backwards and forwards and gave great guidance on how to interpret and react to things that the inspector brought up some of which were minor and some of which were slightly of greater concern. Having that expertise is invaluable. I would never hesitate to use Stacy Smith again I would recommend her to anybody and everybody that asked me including family. It turned what can be a very arduous and challenging experience into one that was actually enjoyable.”
-
“Stacey was fantastic to work with. We had used her to purchase our current home while we were out of the state. She was very easy to work with and always on top of the project to see it through. Stacey goes above-and-beyond throughout the whole process. Would highly recommend her and look forward to using her when we are ready for our next home!”
-
“This is our 3rd home with Stacey and her knowledge and familiarity with the area and our family was most important to us. Stacey is the best! She is very attentive, thorough, and honest. Her ability to take in information and present it to us in a manner that helps us make an informed decision made a very difficult process much easier. We are crazy and couldn't decide whether we were going to build or buy an existing home. Stacey was always ready to find a time to get us into another showing at a moment's notice. With dogs, a young child, and a million moving parts Stacey was incredible and patient with us!”
-
“Stacey did everything she could to find an amazing house in a really tough market. She expertly helped the owners sell their home and for us to sell ours seamlessly. She's tireless, a consummate professional, and the best realtor we've ever worked with. We can't recommend her highly enough.”
-
“We had made a subject to sale offer on a house. A buyer came and offered them cash for the house, so we needed to get mine sold in a hurry. Thanks to Stacey, we were able to get the house listed the same day and had showings right away. She reached out to people via phone and email, marketed the house online, and arranged a last minute open house. Thanks to Stacey hustling to get things done for us, we received two offers on the house and accepted one so were able to purchase the new home we had offered on. Top notch experience with Stacey Smith. If you need to sell or buy a home, or both, and you want it to be smooth and easy with all your questions answered quickly and someone to go above and beyond to take care of everything you want and need, I would recommend her 1000% percent. She even went so far as to take care of my dog when we weren't able to pick him up for showings/inspection. Amazing! We must have dragged Stacey to at least 15 different houses, some more than once, during our search. Every single house we sent her she arranged a showing, many for the same day we requested it. Stacey was always available to help and answer questions, and it seemed like no matter what time of day we needed her and no matter what the request was, she was always there.”
-
“Stacey was a delight to work with when my cousin was looking for a home and I really liked her positive attitude and great advice. When it came time to sell my home, as soon as we got into contact and after the first phone call, my husband and I knew she was the person to sell our home. She has been with us every step of the way, answering questions, and explaining the process so we understood every step. Even now, after the sale of the home, she is available to answer those "after sale" questions as well. I will be recommending Stacey to all my friends and already have!”
-
“Heading into the home buying journey, I assumed I would have to manage more of the task. After my first meeting with Stacey it was clear that she had the process and details handled. I trusted her lead and it freed me up to focus on the intangible and emotional aspects of home buying. It made the experience relaxed and fun!”
-
“Stacey is amazing to work with. She helped to guide us through the buying process for buying our first home. She communicated exactly what we needed to know when we needed to know it. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a house and we plan to give her a call if we ever plan to sell.”
-
“We had worked with Stacey Smith previously on the purchase of our first home. When it was time to sell, we didn't question working with her again and were not interested in working with any other broker. Stacey once again made us feel like we were her only clients and a top priority. The time, attention, kindness, and great communication skills she utilizes are unmatched. The sale of our home was quick and Stacey made it seamless for us, we truly felt taken care of through every step of the process. Stacey is a wonderful person and we will continue to recommend her to anyone in the market. We truly cannot thank her enough and look forward to our relationship continuing throughout the years.”
-
“Stacey was knowledgeable and helped us navigate a quickly changing real estate market with ease. We felt as if we were her only clients, she paid such close attention to every detail of our search. She was honest and professional in her recommendations and advice. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a smooth selling and/or buying experience.”
-
“Stacey Smith did an amazing job and helped me every step of the way. She made the process as enjoyable as possible and made everything easy. I highly recommend using Stacey as she cares so much about getting you the home you want and will work extremely hard for you in the home buying/selling process.”
-
“I can’t recommend Stacey enough! A few years ago she helped me purchase and sell a home. I knew when it was time to buy again that I would work with her again. She is kind but also straightforward, which is so helpful when making such a large and important purchase. Her communication skills are excellent and her knowledge about the process of buying a home is invaluable!”
-
“Stacey Smith took amazing care of my husband and I. She was friendly, helpful and eager to help us find our 1st home. She always made us feel important and like we were her only clients. Although I know she was busy with others as well. Stacey worked hard to keep in touch with the sellers agent and answering any questions we had. I can’t imagine having any other agent on our side. Thank You Stacey for making this experience so amazing.”
-
“Stacey was highly recommended by family. Stacey was responsive and supportive every step of the way throughout the entire process. She even provided a moving truck and gift basket at our closing. She truly made us feel valued. Stacey went above and beyond to meet our unique needs. This was our third home purchase. Stacey was a stand out from previous real estate agents with her personal connection to the clients needs. She was always available when needed in a timely and effective manner. Stacey is reliable and made the process feel seamless. Stacey made us feel like a priority at all times.”
-
“As first time home buyers, Stacey made the entire process extremely easy. I will definitely recommend her to family and friends.”

“Stacey was very understanding of our needs and budget. She answered fully answered our questions and looked out for our best interests. As new home buyers, the process was smooth because of Stacey Smith. We recommend her as a realtor because she is personable, knowledgeable of the Des Moines area real estate market and highly reliable.”
-
“Stacey was so great in helping my fiance and I find our home. We are first time home buyers and had no clue what we were doing. Stacey guided us through the whole process and made sure we knew what was going on every step of the way! She was so patient with us as we went to numerous showings and put up with our indecisiveness until we found the perfect house. Now that we have officially closed, she has still been there for us offering referrals for projects we need done. We can't wait to work with Stacey whenever we're ready for our next home!”
-
“Stacey was wonderful in helping us purchase our first home! She guided us through the buying process and was always willing to answer any questions we had a long the way. Stacey very helpful through the appraisal process, working with the sellers and our lender to make everything work out, she really took a lot of stress out of the home buying process! Highly recommend!”
-
“Stacey Smith knew what we needed and worked hard to find a house that fit our specific needs. She was accommodating and tried to arrange showings around different schedules. We were two states away. She let our son FaceTime while showing us the house. Answered all questions. Pleasant and friendly. I would gladly recommend her to anyt”
-
“We met Stacey Smith through a mutual friend that introduced us to her. We met up at a coffee shop and got to know each other a little bit and talked through what we were looking for in a home. In the car after that meeting I think we both said right then, well she's great and we definitely want to work with her. That sentiment rang true throughout our entire process with Stacey. Being first time homebuyer's and coming from living internationally, we truly had no idea what we were doing or what to expect in this process. Stacey always put us at ease, explained any questions we had (which were a lot) and was available and communicative always. She truly makes you feel like you are her only client and a top priority (even though she is working with so many other clients). Any bump along the way that came up as we searched for our home Stacey was ready with a thoughtful solution and helped us to find our first home. She literally worked around the clock and is one of the most professional, knowledgeable, communicative, and kind people we know. We truly cannot say enough positive things about Stacey and will continue to work with her exclusively in the future. Thank you Stacey for everything you did for us throughout this process, you are one of a kind. We can 100% recommend working with Stacey Smith to anyone.”
-
“Stacey Smith is the ideal real estate agent, she made the process much easier than we expected. Her communication with us was excellent and in good time, we were on a bit of a time crunch so that was crucial. She kept us in the loop with everything that was happening. The experience could not have been better or gone any smoother. Thank you Stacey!”
-
“Stacey Smith's candor, knowledge, and availability made an incredibly stressful process less stressful. I would recommend Ms. Smith because she is willing to put in the time and effort to find the right property and provide honest, useful feedback to make an informed decision.”
-
“Stacey handled our sale extremely professionally, provided great guidance throughout the process, was diligent in her work and represented us very well. We're quite pleased with Stacey's performance and have already recommended her to others.”
-
“We recently went through the process of purchasing and selling a home. Our realtor Stacey Smith did an amazing job of navigating a crazy market and making this process as smooth as possible. Her dedication to helping us made the process (seemingly scary roller coaster) fun and a breeze. Her knowledge of the housing market and the surrounding areas in which we wanted to buy really helped us feel comfortable in our decision to buy/sell.We not only found the Best Realtor in the area but we have a friend for life! We love our new home. Thank you Stacey. And thank you Century21.”
-
“We met Stacey Smith by accident and are very glad we did! We tried to go to an open house in the DSM area and the real estate app we were using did not update in time to let us know that the open house was cancelled. We drove around the area looking for a different open house and found one that Stacey happened to be hosting. After exchanging contact info we met up to discuss what we were looking for in a home. Stacey came prepared and walked us through the home buying process as this was our first time. She broke down the process in easy to understand steps and made it all seem a lot less daunting. After a few months we found a home that we loved and wanted to put an offer on and did. The offer was accepted but our landlord would not let us out of our apartment lease early. We had to wait another year before we could try again. Throughout that long waiting period Stacey stuck with us, checking in every once in awhile to see if we had questions, wanted to see a house, or just to see how things were going. Time passed and we were able to put together an offer for a home we loved even more and now it's ours! Stacey did such an amazing job for us and was truly by our side the whole time. We would absolutely recommend her to all of our family and friends and look forward to our next home when we can enlist her services again.”
-
“This was my first time purchasing a home, and Stacey Smith made it VERY easy. Right from the start, she explained everything clearly and was always on top of things, and making sure I was informed through every step of the process. I'm not really known for my patience, and Stacey was very accommodating and so easy to work with. She handled everything with finesse and professionalism, and working with her was just like hanging out with a friend--that friend that we all have who just happens to be great at everything they do. My house buying experience was 100% pleasant, and any stress I had was alleviated by Stacey, and the process was completely smooth with zero hiccups. If you want a great agent who is truly working for you, I'd highly recommend Stacey.”
-
“As first time home buyers we were nervous it was going to be a difficult and complicated process. Stacey Smith at century 21 was a pleasure to work with and kept us informed at every step. She was knowledge, responsive and encouraging even when I thought we would never find the perfect house for us. I could not be happier with our home or overall experience. Thank you Stacey!”
-
“I met Stacey on a whim at an open house when I first started thinking about buying a house. After the open house we sat down and talked through what the process for buying my first home would be, and I decided I wasn't quite ready. For almost a full year Stacey stayed available, but I never felt pressured to restart my search. When I was finally ready, Stacey jumped right in, even while just days away from her due date of her first child, and she handled it wonderfully. Buying a home is overwhelming, but especially for a first time homebuyer. Stacey helped me navigate through the process, made sure she looked out for my best interest, and kept track of things I never even thought of. She has also made sure I've stayed on top of things after closing! I look forward to working with Stacey again in the future, and have already recommended her to a family member.”
-
“Buying or selling a home is not an easy task...and Stacey Smith has helped us do both now and with Stacey here to assist it made everything go so smoothly. We thank you so much for the hardwork and quick marketing tools that you used for this sale. Stacey you are so wonderful to work with from day one to the closing day you were spot on with help . Until the next adventure.. Much appreciated ..”
-
“As first time home buyers, my fiancé and I appreciated that no question seemed to be too basic for her to answer – and we had a lot of them! Stacey is very friendly and was always prompt in her communication. She was kind and straightforward at once. We would definitely recommend her to someone looking to buy a home! Stacey reached out to us via Facebook. She saw that I showed interest in a house, and left a comment saying she could show us the house if we were interested. We met shortly after that at Grounds for Celebration and discussed our needs, later seeing the house. I love how she took the initiative to find us! It was a good partnership 🙂 We also appreciated the use of the moving truck! We were able to move all of our furniture in one trip! Stacey is extremely knowledgeable about Des Moines. We even used the mortgage lender that she suggested, and it could not have been easier! All in all, we are very satisifed about working with Stacey Smith, and we would gladly work with her again. (Though we intend to stick around at this house for a while!) We never thought we would have a personal relationship with our realtor, but we look forward to one day having Stacey into our home now that we're getting settled in.”
-
“Stacey was such an awesome realtor to work with! She sat down with my husband & I at a local coffee shop, and explained all things we needed to know as first time home buyers. We really appreciated the time she took to do that. She prepped us by describing the home-buying process in a way that we could understand, truly wanted to know what we were looking for in a home, explained how she felt she was the perfect fit in helping us find a dream house, and also wanting to know what we expected from her. She has been so sincere & approachable, always answering all our questions and communicating in a very timely manner. She did a fantastic job of making sure we got showings of homes we were interested in, sometimes even just minutes after we asked! We are so happy we chose to work with Stacey- she helped us seal the deal on our dream first home, and I know she truly cares about her clients, striving to develop genuine relationships to help get things accomplished...which is so much better than just treating this like a business. Thanks for everything, Stacey!”
-
“I wouldn't be able to thank Stacey enough for making my first time home buying so easy! She is very knowledgeable and if she doesn't know the answer she goes out of her way to find out the answer for you. She always keeps in contact, even if it's just to check in when there is no news to tell. Stacey is sweet, friendly and genuinely cares about you. You can tell it's more than "just a job" for her. I would definitely use her again. :)”
-
“She did a really good job helping match my needs and bein. Able to answer all of my questions. Really easy to get a hold of too.”
-
“Stacey Smith took the extra time and care to communicate both with my dad and myself making the sales process go smoothly. We always knew exactly when things were going to happen and what was next. With me living out of state and coming home every couple weeks to get the home ready for sale, having someone as dedicated to the effort as Stacey made it so much easier! We couldn't have done it without her.”
-
“I knew from the beginning that I wanted Stacey to be my agent, but I had no idea she would be so thorough and efficient at her job. She is like having your own personal helper for everything. I couldn't imagine doing all of this without her. She is professional, kind, knowledgeable, and in touch with you through everything. My own little cheerleader.”
