Stacy Stoltz, Stewart Title-Shawn P. Black and Associates
Serving others is at the heart of what Stacy does. It is the common thread running through her long and varied career path: from flight attendant to showroom manager to Special Ed teacher. Taking the time to understand the needs of others, treating them as she would want to be treated and maintaining a poised, professional demeanor - this is Stacy's formula for success in the world.
She was raised in Arkansas and graduated from the University of North Texas with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, and a minor in Marketing. Stacy has been the Business Development Director for Stewart Title- Shawn P. Black and Associates for the past two years. She initially worked for Shawn as an Escrow Assistant, which gave her an in-depth look at title transactions. “As the face for our title company, I’m immersed in marketing, networking, customer relations, advertising, event planning and community involvement, and I love it!" Stacy says. With fine-tuned people skills, she enjoys connecting lenders, mortgage loan officers and REALTORS with the experienced staff of Escrow Officers, so they can provide top-notch service for their clients. Stacy says about her position. “One of the best things about my job is being able to plug into our community and give back through organizations such as GLAR, Flower Mound Chamber of Commerce, Rotary Club and various women’s groups.”
Thank you for bringing your "A" game to everything you're involved in, Stacy Stoltz!!

Remember, those joining in the last quarter will pay the amount due until the end of the year when membership is set up and ALSO be billed for 2020 separately until December, when 2020 dues will be payable at the time of application.
MLS Tip for October:
Did you know that all the documents I have written for MLS classes are available 24/7 on our website? Put together the individual PDF files to create your own MLS "How To" book. Additionally there are several videos through your YouTube channel with help for using the MLS.
