Stacey Tonyan
- Personality Trait – My strongest personality trait is Diligence. I have a very strong sense of right and wrong so I like to plan my steps carefully, mindful of the feelings and expectations of others. I rely heavily on intuitiveness and am most fulfilled when I can find a connection with people through shared experiences. I enjoy when someone feels comfortable enough to open up to me, reflecting, sharing and helping each other to see the big picture of the current situation.
- Definition of Home – Home is a feeling. I’ve seen signs “Home is where your heart is” or “Home is where your Mom is.” I believe Home is where you find comfort, it’s a safe place where you can live, laugh, love and be yourself. Going home is knowing “this is where I belong.”
- Where you go to get Inspired – Words, scripture and people inspire me. I am inspired by a good sermon, relatable story or experience that I can connect with. I use mantras and quotes as reminders or quick prayers. I find comfort in writing my thoughts in cards, letters or on post it notes. My most recent post it notes on my desk is “Live and Give Grace and Understanding, Beginning with Yourself.” I wrote this as a reminder to myself, as I learn and grow in my new career, to not be so hard on myself, rather to allow myself the grace and understanding needed to become my best self and real estate agent. I believe “what you go through, you grow through” and as Maya Angelou says, “When you know better, you do better.”
Stacey joined the Tiger Home Team in March of 2019 with over 30 years of administrative experience.

Stacey discovered her purpose for becoming a real estate agent through her own personal experiences. She understands there are many reasons a person may be buying or selling real estate and believes that every transaction is personal. She strives to make life easier for people as they navigate life’s changes (planned or unplanned). She finds value in being a knowledgeable and caring resource for her clients and loves to connect people to the Columbia community!
