About Stacy Cate

Stacy Cate is a licensed REALTOR® and luxury home specialist with Compass, based in Frisco, Texas, and deeply rooted in the North DFW communities she’s called home for more than 30 years. 

 

Her 15 years in real estate include a decade as a licensed Realtor and five years leading new construction sales, which means when a client is building from the ground up or navigating a luxury resale, she’s not guessing. She knows how this market works because she’s been in it, through every shift and season.

 

Stacy averages 18–20 transactions per year across Frisco, Prosper, Celina, and McKinney.

She’s ranked among the region’s top 1,000 agents out of more than 15,000 MLS-active agents in North DFW and her production is independently verified through RealTrends. She holds four professional designations: Certified Negotiation Expert (CNE), Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist (CLHMS), Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES), and New Home Sales Agent Certification (NHSAC).

Get To Know Us More

Stacy works with both buyers and sellers across four core specialties: luxury home sales, new construction, corporate relocation, and senior downsizing. Her approach has always been more advisor than salesperson… she listens first, explains everything, and stays two steps ahead so her clients don’t have to stress the details. That’s the teacher in her, she spent years in the classroom before real estate, and that instinct to educate and advocate never left. Every review she’s earned on Google, Zillow, and Realtor.com is five stars, and that consistency isn’t an accident. It’s what happens when you actually show up for people.

What makes Stacy different isn’t just the production numbers. It’s the fact that she’s served on multiple community boards across both education and city sectors, and has helped raise over $5 million for North DFW area schools over the last eight years. Her work and expertise have been recognized by the Dallas Morning News, Candy’s Dirt, Voyage Dallas, Shoutout DFW, Haven Lifestyles, Life & Luxury: Prosper and Celina, and Frisco Life & Luxury magazine.

 

She knows these cities, not just the zip codes and price points, but the neighborhoods, the schools, the builders, the hidden gems, and the people who make this place worth living in. If you’re buying, selling, relocating, or figuring out your next chapter in North DFW, Stacy’s the kind of agent you want in your corner.
