Biography

Buying or selling a home can feel overwhelming—but it doesn’t have to.

I’m Stacey Ritter, a REALTOR® with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Select Properties, serving Edwardsville and the Illinois Metro East. Clients often tell me the same thing: they felt peace, ease, and confidence throughout the process—and that’s my goal.

I don’t fly by the seat of my pants. I’ve built clear, repeatable systems that bring organization, transparency, and steady communication to every transaction. My clients always know what’s happening, why it matters, and what comes next.

When You’re Buying

I help buyers quickly narrow in on the right homes, understand pricing and market conditions, and feel confident in their decisions. From writing strong offers to inspections and negotiations, I guide you step by step and connect you with trusted local professionals along the way.

Clients appreciate that I’m honest, knowledgeable, responsive, and calm, especially when emotions or uncertainty come into play.

When You’re Selling

I help sellers position their homes strategically—through pricing expertise, professional marketing, and thoughtful preparation—so they attract strong offers and move forward with confidence.

I’m respected by other agents for being fair, professional, and easy to work with, which matters when negotiations are on the line.

What Sets Me Apart

Beyond strategy and experience, clients consistently say they felt taken care of—like family.

I’m warm, steady, and transparent. You’ll always get honest feedback, thoughtful guidance, and clear communication. I intentionally work with a select number of clients so I can provide a high level of personal service and attention to detail.

My role is to bring clarity and calm—so you can move forward with confidence. I will walk you through this process with professionalism, hard work, compassion, a sense of humor, and a plan.

Throughout our home buying process, Stacey made the process incredibly simple and allowed us to truly enjoy this new chapter in our lives.

I highly recommend Stacey Ritter in Glen Carbon, IL. After researching and interviewing multiple local Realtors, I selected Stacey to represent a fellow Marine, close friends and former clients of mine during a military relocation back to Chicago. From the start, Stacey demonstrated exceptional professionalism, strong local market knowledge, and clear communication. She understood the importance of the situation and treated my clients with care, respect, and urgency. Stacey was instrumental in selling the property in a timely manner while coordinating seamlessly with the purchase of their new home in the Chicagoland area. Both transactions aligned perfectly. My clients were extremely satisfied with her expertise and execution. Stacey is a Realtor buyers and sellers can trust—and just as importantly, a Realtor fellow agents can rely on knowing their clients are in excellent hands. Highly recommended.

Stacey was wonderful to work with. We were doing a relocation and knew we needed to find a partner who could handle as much as possible on our behalf while we were out of state. Stacey won us over as someone who would out-hustle the competition to make everything as smooth as possible for us. When our first deal fell through, she went above and beyond to get the house back in front of buyers as quickly as possible. All along she was a great communicator who never left us in the dark but also didn’t over communicate either. I highly recommend anyone to work with her.

- Terry J

Stacey was a wonderful partner in handling our relocation out of state. We highly recommend!

- Justin R

We cannot recommend Stacey enough! My partner and I were first time homebuyers and like many folks out there, we had no idea how to navigate the market and know how to find what we wanted. Stacey really listened to our wants and needs, and gave us a lot of options. She was realistic about what was doable and what we may need to compromise on. We also loved the smooth communication between her and our lender and it made such a difference. She worked with our budget and helped us make good offers that ultimately got us our dream home! We are so, so happy with our new home and felt like the entire process went as easily as it could go. I would recommend Stacey to anyone looking for a quality realtor! Thank you Stacey!!!

Stacey Ritter quickly sold our building after it had been on the market with another realtor for over a year without any offers. She gave us advice on how to make the building more sellable, which obviously helped. She also quickly helped us find another building and negotiated well on our behalf. I always felt that she had our backs and her professionalism was excellent. I highly recommend Stacey Ritter!

Stacey is the best realtor we have ever worked with. She was very knowledgeable about the properties we looked at. Stacey provided excellent guidance and gave us ideas to consider as we looked at homes. She has an amazing level of attention to detail regarding the purchase and selling process. The process can be very stressful but we felt like we were in excellent hands the whole way. Any time we look to invest in any property in the future, we will ONLY be calling Stacey.

- Jason B

Stacey has been a special friend to our family for many years. It started when she was our daughter's music teacher and followed through her college years and beyond. Knowing the type of person Stacey is, made our decision easy to choose her to represent the sale of our home. We know that she is honest, knowledgeable, hard working and a pleasure to be around. She did not disappoint us during any part of the process. It was a comfort knowing she was taking care of our property after we moved out. (We have circumstances that wouldn’t allow us to put our home on the market before moving.) You won’t be disappointed having Stacey as your realtor. She will always do her best when representing you and it will always be with a smile!

- Judy M

We would recommend Stacey as a 10 but did not put a 10 for Berkshire Hathaway and this is no reflection on Berkshire Hathaway but feel that the agent also impacts this. Stacey continue to work with us to find a home for our daughter over a year and a half during which we placed offers on two houses and finally closed on the third offer. She was always willing to be flexible and was always a joy

- Charles M

You know how they say Doctors make the worst Patients? Well I am a Realtor who found myself in need of a Realtor, and if I was ever a hassle for Stacey, I never once felt that way. I am licensed in a different state and needed to buy a home for my family near Edwardsville. What I was looking for was someone who could help me navigate this market and do for me what I've done for myself and my own clients many times previously. What I found in Stacey was a smart, professional Realtor who not only did everything I make sure I do for my clients (and train the agents in my office to do as well), but I'm even stealing one of her moves for my people going forward because of how much I appreciated being her client! Her communication, punctuality, professionalism and thoughtfulness all left a lasting impression that has me confident in sending my friends and family on that side of the river to her for expert assistance. If you need someone who will take the absolute best care of you throughout the often stressful real estate buying process, look no further and give Stacey Ritter a call!

- Peter G

I had the pleasure of working in the same office as Stacey in the past. I witnessed her dedication and integrity every day. When I referred my adult children to Stacey to list their home, I had high expectations. Stacey did not disappoint! She went above and beyond my expectations. She was knowledgeable, responsive and thorough. She treated my precious loved ones as if they were her own. Stacey is not just in it for commission and awards. She treats every transaction as if its her most important task, because it it the most important thing to her clients. Stacey truly loves assisting people on their real estate journey and it shows in the level of service she provides. Thank you Stacey for being a Rock Star Realtor! You have secured your place in our family as our lifetime Real Estate Expert!

- Becky A

I recently had the pleasure of working with Stacey as my realtor to sell my home, and I couldn't be more delighted with the outstanding service she provided throughout the entire process. Stacey went above and beyond to ensure a smooth and successful home sale, and I can't speak highly enough of her expertise and dedication. From our very first meeting, it was evident that Stacey was committed to helping me achieve the best outcome in selling my home. Her knowledge of the local real estate market was truly impressive, and she took the time to thoroughly explain the entire selling process, putting my mind at ease and answering all of my questions. One of the standout qualities that I admired most about Stacey was her exceptional communication skills. She was incredibly responsive, always keeping me in the loop with updates, potential buyers' feedback, and any changes in the market. If you're looking for a realtor who will go above and beyond to help you sell your home, I wholeheartedly recommend Stacey. Her professionalism, market knowledge, and personal touch make her an outstanding choice for anyone in need of a real estate expert.

Stacey is an amazing realtor! She had our back from beginning to end. We moved across the country and knew we would likely never personally view homes. Stacey provided live FaceTime walk through showings of several homes and even stood in for our home inspection process. She is knowledgeable, personable, responsive and a wonderful person! Highly recommend working with her!!

- Mary M

Stacey was simply amazing to work with. She was knowledgeable, thoughtful, patient and paid close attention to the details.

- Sorah K

I would highly recommend Stacey Ritter to anyone looking for a realtor. She is knowledgeable on the market as well as on the process of what it takes to get a real estate transaction to closing. From the first meeting Stacey came prepared with research on our home, a comparative market analysis, and was able to provide a prioritized list of things we could do to help the home show better. Throughout the process Stacey was happy to go above and beyond the call of duty, taking on way more that required to assist me and my family in selling my home while I was stationed thousands of miles away, even when things became complicated. I am so grateful I had representation I could trust and would not hesitate to contact Stacey far any future real estate transaction!

- Zachary Z

We loved our experience with Stacey! She made us feel like her top priority. She was easy to get ahold of, quick with her responses, and went above and beyond to help us with every part of the process. We wish we could take her with us when we move! :)

- Kayla Z

If you are thinking of buying or selling a home anytime soon, I cannot say enough good things about our Realtor, Stacey Ritter. She has gone WAY above and beyond to help us in the process of selling our home. (This includes running around town looking for a notary in the middle of a snow/ice storm, and even coming to my workplace to help me with a mistake I made.) She made the process incredibly easy and was so easy to communicate with whenever we needed something.

- Kayla Z

Stacey made us feel like we were the only people selling a house in town. From the time we made our first walk thru and her giving us suggestions on making the house look more presentable, to taking care of the floors at the open house. We were extremely grateful when she took time to walk us thru the offers and explaining them. After an offer was made she kept in contact with us on how the inspections went. She was always there for us! I would highly recommend Stacey anytime you are buying or selling your home!

- Darrin B

It was the sale of my brother and I’s deceased father’s home and she was sensitive, caring and provided excellent advice through the process. I live out of town and she kept me informed with up to date information. She is Top Notch and I would recommend Stacey to anyone.

Super helpful (and put up with my rambling well) 💙
