Staircase Partners is a real estate team built around clear guidance, sharp marketing, and results you can measure — whether you're buying your next place or selling the one you're in.
Staircase Partners is a real estate sales team built around clear guidance and sharp marketing. We help buyers search smart, tour with purpose, and write offers that win, and we believe well-marketed homes attract more buyers, generate more offers, and net higher sale prices for our sellers — so professional photography, sharp positioning, and clear communication sit at the center of everything we do.
We keep our client list intentionally manageable so every buyer and seller gets direct, hands-on attention from someone on our team who knows their name and their story — because to us, this is more than a transaction.

"Ben was fantastic to work with. First, he listened. My sister and I so appreciated his listening and professionalism. He brought a steady hand to the whole process of selling our dad’s home. My sister and I are not local, and he handled everything seamlessly, which was an enormous help to us during a stressful time. He knows marketing. He physically and virtually staged, then photographed the home in a way that truly showed off its best features. Ben negotiated skillfully, communicated clearly throughout the process, and helped us navigate every step with confidence. We always felt like he had our best interests in mind. We are very grateful for his expertise, patience, and care, and would highly recommend him to anyone buying or selling a home."
"Having done multiple real estate deals with Ben Jones, as a buyer and a seller, I can confidently, highly recommend him. He has exceeded my expectations every time. He is extremely knowledgeable not only about the area, but the process as well. An adamant professional that takes a lot of pride in what he does, and is on top of things from time of offer all the way until closing and after, and treats every transaction like it's his own."
"I can't say enough good things about Laura Conklin! She was absolutely incredible throughout the entire process of selling our home in Lake Jackson in Manassas, VA. From the very beginning, she was hands-on in every aspect of preparing our home for sale. She helped us stage the property, suggested a few simple, cost-effective improvements, and even pitched in to help clean before the photography session and open house—talk about going above and beyond! The marketing she put together was great, including a stunning drone video that showcased the beauty of our lakeside property. Thanks to her efforts, we had great exposure and interest right from the start. We got multiple competitive offers (over asking) after a single open house and were able to close very quickly. Laura then also helped us quickly find a single family home to rent, including our large dog, even though there’s little to no compensation for realtors. She truly had our best interests in mind the whole way through. A few months later, we decided to buy a home, and she helped us secure a beautiful property in our ideal location and in a very competitive market, especially at our price point. She was even communicating and strategizing with us about properties while out of town on a birthday vacation! If you're looking for a dedicated, knowledgeable, and caring realtor, you won’t go wrong with Laura. She's truly exceptional!"
"As an out of town buyer I relied heavily on Laura’s expertise in my search for the perfect home. She knew my “must haves” and worked diligently to find it for me. She previewed homes for me and video called me if she thought it was a possibility. Many were very nice but still not quite right. She didn’t pressure me or try to get me to compromise on what I wanted just to make the sale. She encouraged me to be patient and assured me she’d find it for me and SHE DID! I received detailed photos and videos and purchased it before seeing it in person. I trusted her that much! I came in town for the closing and saw it for the first time. She was right! It was perfect! I didn’t have to compromise on anything on my checklist! If you are looking for a patient, thorough, receptive and professional realtor look no further! Laura Conklin is the perfect choice. I am 68 years old and have purchased a half dozen homes in my lifetime and never have I had such as great experience with a realtor. She made the transaction easy and stayed on top of it and communicated with me every step of the way. She kept it fun and exciting. Choose Laura with confidence! You won’t be disappointed!"
