More About Me

A little about Stacey...

Stacey Sandoe of Coldwell Banker Kappel Gateway Realty brings a rare combination of
deep market knowledge, real-world valuation expertise, and genuine care for her
clients. Her path to real estate is rooted in both life experience and professional
discipline, giving her clients a distinct advantage whether buying or selling.


Originally from Long Island, New York, Stacey grew up as an “Air Force Brat,” living
across the country and abroad before her family settled in Fairfield, California in 1985.
That upbringing shaped her adaptability, strong work ethic, and appreciation for helping
others navigate major life transitions—qualities that naturally carry into her work with
clients today. She now calls Napa home, where she lives on a vineyard in the Carneros
District with her longtime partner, Rick, and enjoys time with her two daughters, son-in-
law, and her tuxedo cat, Walter.


Before real estate, Stacey spent 15 years in retail management with brands such as
Macy’s, Victoria’s Secret, and Jones New York, where she developed exceptional client
service and leadership skills. She then transitioned into a career as a Residential Real
Estate Appraiser, covering the San Francisco Bay Area and Sacramento Valley. That
experience continues to set her apart providing her clients with a sharp understanding
of pricing, market value, and negotiation strategy that few agents can offer.


Recognized as one of the Top 3 Realtors in Solano County by the Daily Republic
Reader's Choice Awards in 2025, Stacey is known for her professionalism, attention to
detail, and commitment to delivering results. She approaches every transaction with
intention, clear communication, and a focus on protecting her clients’ best interests from
start to finish.


With extensive knowledge of Solano County, Napa County, and surrounding markets,
Stacey provides a level of guidance that is both strategic and personal. Her goal is
simple: to ensure every client feels confident, informed, and exceptionally well
represented throughout the entire process.
