HomeSmart names Stacey Onnen president

HomeSmart has announced its appointment of Stacey Onnen as president.

Onnen has more than 20 years of experience in real estate — most recently working in the legal technology sector and previously leading a national initiative at Keller Williams.

She also served as president of operations at eXp Realty from April 2019 to February 2022 and held prior leadership positions with Realty ONE Group.

In her new role, Onnen will work with HomeSmart’s executive team and market leaders to improve operational efficiency, develop revenue opportunities and support the company’s agent and franchise network.

“HomeSmart has built a strong reputation for innovation and for delivering value to its agents and franchise network,” Onnen said. “I am excited to join the leadership team and contribute to the company’s next phase of growth.”

Earlier in her career, Onnen worked as an agent, designated broker and brokerage owner — as well as operator a real estate school. She has also appeared on HousingWire’s annual Women of Influence list.

“We are pleased to welcome Stacey to HomeSmart at such an important time in our growth,” said Matt Widdows, founder and CEO of HomeSmart. “Her operational expertise and leadership experience at large, rapidly scaling organizations will be a tremendous asset as we continue to strengthen our platform, expand into new markets and support our agents and franchise partners.”
