Stacey’s inspiration for starting The Key Real Estate Company in the summer of 2020 was to coach, encourage and motivate exceptional real estate agents so they can guide buyers and sellers through the crazy real estate world while building lasting and memorable relationships. Before real estate, Stacey worked with an international trade lobbyist in Washington, D.C., was a mortgage originator and bank officer, worked with a commercial developer in Auburn then moved into mainly residential real estate in 2000 serving as a qualifying broker for the past 22 years. Stacey served as the Alabama Association of Realtors President in 2019 and the Lee County Association of Realtors (LCAR) President in 2006. She is most proud and honored to have received the Alabama Association of Realtors 2002 Realtor of the Year award, the Realtor of the Year from LCAR in 2007, 2015 and 2020, as well as the distinguished Jack M Dunlop Service Award in 2019. She is extremely involved in the Auburn community serving in organizations such as Auburn Chamber of Commerce, Opelika Chamber of Commerce, Women’s Hope, The Exceptional Foundation and the BPPAC (Ball Players Playing Against Cancer). Stacey is a graduate of the 2004 AAR Leadership class and the Lee County Leadership class of 1997. She is a graduate of Central Michigan University and is originally from Troy, Michigan. Yes, real estate is a love and passion but her true happiness is time with her husband Shane enjoying living life with their four sons Charlie, Seth, Caleb and Slade.
