7 Steps To Raise The Value Of Your Home Before Selling!
What every homeowner must know before selling their home
Meet Lori McShane
Your Trusted San Diego Real Estate Agent
As a lifelong Pasadena local and caretaker of my family’s 125-year-old Craftsman home, I deeply understand what it means to live in, and eventually transition from, a property filled with history, personality, and decades of memories.
Homes like ours aren’t just structures; they carry stories, seasons of life, and the quiet details that make them irreplaceable.
Because of this, I’ve built my real estate practice around supporting homeowners who are preparing for meaningful transitions, especially those moving on from longtime or legacy homes.
My approach is steady, clear, and highly personalized, prioritizing your comfort, timing, and peace of mind.
To strengthen that support, I partner with Denise Marks, Broker Associate, Senior Advisor with 25+ years of Pasadena real estate experience and nationally recognized in the Top 1% of agents.
Together, we combine thoughtful guidance with deep market knowledge, strong negotiation skills, and the calm confidence that only comes from decades in the industry.
Our work is further supported by Equity Union’s HouseAmp program and a vetted team of reliable professionals, from stagers and contractors to estate sale specialists and senior-focused movers. Every part of the process is coordinated with care, respect, and attention to detail.
Our purpose is simple:
To help you protect your equity, honor your home’s story, and move into your next chapter with clarity and confidence, at your pace.

We were nervous about selling our house, but Stacy took all the stress away. She came in with a clear plan, amazing marketing, and got us multiple offers within days. We ended up selling above the asking price! Highly recommend.

What sets Stacy apart is how much she truly cares. She took the time to understand our needs, fought for us during negotiations, and celebrated with us when we closed. If you want an agent who’s all-in for you, they are the only team you need.
