Give back
Our team donates 10% of each transaction to support the mission at New Story. New Story is building homes for those in need and we love helping them unlock the dream of homeownership for others.
“The thing we loved about working with Stacey and Jensen was their integrity and transparency. We ended up in contract on a house off-market based on the established relationships Stacey and Jensen have in the community. The efforts of Dwell Collective were truly life-changing and will forever be part of our story.
If you are in the market to buy a house to RUN toward Jensen and Stacey; you will be met with authenticity, thoughtfulness, good humor, and a white-glove experience. We absolutely love Dwell Collective and our experience has been nothing short of amazing. Our dream of moving to SLO wouldn't be a reality without them.”

Meet the team
Dwell Collective was started by founding real estate agents, Stacey LaBarge and Jensen Lossing in 2021. We have over 10 years of combined experience in real estate, both personally as investors and professionally as Realtors®. We work collaboratively as your strategic advisors, leveraging our expertise and Compass’ extensive platform to provide you with support throughout your home ownership journey.
“Working with Stacey LaBarge and Jensen Lossing at Dwell Collective was a DREAM. 10/10. When we decided to sell our home in San Luis Obispo we had no idea where to start and they made the process so easy and simple. They were so professional, thoughtful, and over-the-top accommodating.
We appreciated the strategy and attention to detail they put into every aspect of selling our home in a way that was personalized just for us. We got exactly what we wanted and it made moving our family of six way easier than it should have been!
They are the BEST Realtors® and if we could hire them again we would!”

Working with us
We know that buying or selling a home is one of the largest investment decisions of your life. You don’t do this every day, but we do.
Strategic Advisors
We simplify the process and make it as low-stress as possible. Our well-defined process and high attention to detail ensure that nothing is missed. Years of experience and top-notch negotiation skills consistently create win-win solutions for our clients.
We are data-driven and start with educating you about current market conditions. When you are buying a home, we look at what has recently sold so that you can get a handle on the market. We help you begin your search, curating access to those homes that are a right fit both on and off the market. We teach you how to write a successful offer and negotiate the best terms.
When selling your home we’ll advise you what to do to prepare it and use market data to inform our pricing strategy.
Lifetime Support
After your home purchase, we are still invested! Throughout your homeownership, we will provide annual home value reviews, advice on home improvements to increase the value of your home, recommendations for home maintenance, connections to local community activities and events, and introductions to vetted vendors for anything that might come up.
Compass Advantage
