She loves houses and loves matching her clients with the place that is perfect for them. Ask her clients and they will tell you she is a whirlwind of energy, a juggler of projects, a creative force, a good listener, and a tireless advocate. She comes to the job with a vision for what is possible and the background to make that happen.
It is because she grew up in the breathtaking town of Juneau Alaska, where it rains 250 days a year. It is the kind of place where you either give into gloomy weather or dig deep and find the will to p. erve.
It is because her folks instilled in her the drive to succeed.
For the past sixteen years she has gutted and restored many houses, using any opportunity to work with her hands. Blending her formal training as a fine artist and designer with her experience as a builder, these old-house remodels have become her creative canvas. Her time as a product developer and architectural consultant at Rejuvenation House Parts introduced her to a community of like-minded folks who encouraged her to become a REALTOR®.
She is drawn to vintage homes. The artist in her is drawn to their detail, the builder in her to their quality. Their charm and imperfections make them more fascinating and soulful.
That is what drew her to her first home. Stripped of all her painted-lady features, she sat sadly on a corner lot in SE Portland waiting to be loved and cared for. She had a yard full of shopping carts, a tree that had grown through her facade, motor-oil-soaked mattresses, and a basement full of the neighbor’s missing car parts, and yet, despite this her husband Nate and Tracy bought and fixed her up. This renovation led to the next house-love-affair, followed by another and another. It only made sense to apply this knowledge and the valuable lessons learned along the way to help others looking to buy or improve their own homes.
Which brings me to why she became a REALTOR®.
Tracy chose this job because she is enthusiastic about houses and loves the chance to develop relationships with her clients. When you choose to work with Tracy, she will advocate for your best interests, guide you through the home buying process and protect you from the stressful moments as they inevitably arise. She will advise you every step of the way to enable you to make good decisions, stay centered and reach your goals. Even after your transaction has end, Tracy is still available to
answer your questions and help with your home projects.
When she is not working, she enjoys spending time with her family and being outdoors. Her hobbies include instructing her children, Lander, and Olivia, about nature, hunting for sea creatures, spotting birds, drinking bourbon in the winter and gin in the summer, eating chocolate and traveling to warm destinations.
