“Working with Stacey LaBarge and Jensen Lossing at Dwell Collective was a DREAM. A 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!”
M.T., home buyer
“Since purchasing our first home many years ago, real estate has become an extremely complicated and competitive industry. Now more than ever it is important to have a professional, experienced, and diligent Realtor® working with you. Like Stacey LaBarge. In our recent purchase, in Atascadero, which was part of a 1031 exchange, we were under very tight time constraints. Stacey was always available and responsive to our needs and requests.
With her local knowledge of San Luis Obispo County and analytical advice, she managed to negotiate and help us secure the right property. Helped us explore all our options and what was best suited for us and our circumstances.
Stacey was attentive and we felt very confident having her and her competent team working with us. We would highly recommend Stacey LaBarge and look forward to working with her on future real estate transactions.”

“Working with Jensen Lossing was a great experience. Not only was she extremely knowledgeable, responsive, and diligent, but she is also very personable. Jensen saved me hours of time and money and did a fantastic job of representing me throughout the process. I highly recommend her to anyone purchasing or selling a home.”

“Stacey helped us navigate the purchase of our home in San Luis Obispo from start to finish. We were one of 14 offers that were accepted within a few days of the home being on the market. She was extremely thorough when it came to reviewing documents and always made herself available. She went above and beyond to make our home buying as least stressful as possible in an absolutely insane market.”
T.C., home buyer
“After renting for many many years my husband and I finally decided to look for our first home to purchase. Jensen worked with us every step of the way and made the process so easy! She was there to answer every question we had and guide us in the right direction.
After looking at a few houses she found us the perfect home for our family in the location we wanted to be in! We couldn’t be happier with how smoothly everything went (even with a 15-day escrow)!”
S.J., home buyer
“Stacey helped me with a 1031 exchange, moving from the Bay Area to San Luis Obispo. Her understanding of both markets is unique and invaluable for this type of move. We found a property before I was able to put my Bay Area rental on the market. We explored a reverse 1031 exchange. Stacey has excellent financing connections in SLO. In the end, Stacey helped me put together a creative offer that met the seller’s needs and my need for an extended escrow. I was impressed by Stacey’s creativity, negotiating skills, and ability to quickly get a sense of a property’s potential.”
C.K., home buyer
“Our home purchase was more than a little crazy, with every complication you can imagine and a pandemic thrown in for good measure. Our bank turned out to be going through massive organizational changes because of Covid, and meanwhile, the sellers were eager to amidst the pandemic.
Through it all, Stacey was a remarkable person to have on our side. She was responsive, professional, knowledgeable, candid, and great at negotiation; she gave us excellent advice about the market and our bargaining position.
Moreover, she did all that while doing extra duty as a liaison with our bankers. At every stage of the process, Stacey was our most trusted advisor. We've never had such a good real estate agent before.”
H.M., home buyer
“I was a first-time homebuyer and I had a tight budget, I had a lot of questions and it was a long search. But Stacey was always patient with me, generous with her time, and gave me all the guidance I needed. There were times I thought I'd never find a place, but now I am extremely happy with my new home. And it's thanks to Stacey.”
V.S., home buyer
“Buying a home is hard. Buying a home in San Francisco is REALLY hard. As a first-time homebuyer and Stacey guided me through the process from beginning to end. She went above and beyond and I couldn't recommend her more.
Stacey has a strong background in sales and applies her grit, strength, and persistence to any negotiation. We faced a number of competitive situations and in the end, a very difficult seller.
Stacey always provided market comps, data, and insight to help me make an informed decision. If she doesn't know the answer to a question, Stacey will go back and thoroughly do the research. Her preparation is spot on. More importantly, I never felt pressured to make a purchase for its own sake and I appreciated that Stacey was always honest with me. She was truly on my side, being patient and guiding me on the emotional roller coaster of home buying.
I'm incredibly thankful to Stacey and her team that made it happen.”
