Testimonials
Tracy delivers with style and substance!
“Tracy was amazing to work with on the sale of my townhome! She thoroughly studied the area and comps to confirm the upgrades we were doing would be covered by an increased sale price - which we indeed got. Offered a lot of wisdom to the process, handled the negotiations beautifully. I always felt she had my best interest in mind. She can sell the 'hard to sell'! I had previously listed my townhome with 2 different agents in 2 years and neither could get it sold. She was able to get it done in 3 months! Highly highly recommend working with Tracy!”
~ Tami S.
"It was a pleasure working with you on the sale of Festal in Farmington. It takes an agent such as yourself to help the transaction move along smoothly as this one and work together with the same goal in mind. We appreciate your professionalism and dedication towards both your client as well as ours. We hope to work with you again in the future!"
~ Gina, Realtor
"Tracy was absolutely a joy to work with and I would highly recommend her! As a first time home buyer she explained to me with ease anything I wanted to know and she always had my best intentions in mind. Tracy is extrememly knowledgeable and it's obvious from the moment you start talking to her that she's been in the industry for quite some time. She will stay up countless hours and search through hundreds of houses to find the perfect fit for you. You will feel extremely guided under her wing. Not to mention she is funny and a true social butterfly which made the whole process exciting and fun. If you're looking for an agent that is trustworthy, fun and truly knows what they're doing - Tracy is the one!”
~ Whitney G.
“We received exciting news that we would be relocating to Ireland and couldn’t have been more over the moon. Shortly after the excitement wore off, we realized that we would need to prep our house to sell rather quickly, if we were to make our move a success. We were referred to Tracy via the USAA Realtor service. Working in the customer service industry for over a decade, my husband and I have high expectations for service and are often cautious when choosing services such as realtors. Thus, we contacted Tracy with high expectations and those usual pesky client demands. Seemingly, with little effort, Tracy was able to exceed our expectations. She not only ensured that all our needs were met in terms of listing the house, but also provided us priceless guidance on the process, the best way to go about relocating and showing a house at the same time, and allowed us to feel confident through the closing of the sale. With her assistance, we were able to sell our home faster than we had imagined and were able to close on the house from abroad with ease. Tracy and her team are simply incredible!”
~ Robert & Katrina H.
"As transplants to Minnesota, we leaned heavily on Tracy to help us choose the best home and neighborhood for our lifestyle and interests. Despite us living halfway across the country (and two time zones away), Tracy always took the time to talk with us and really find out what neighborhood would be best for us, even if we didn't have time to talk until well into the evening. It was really unbelievable how much work she put into finding us the perfect home, and we will be forever grateful for the dedication she showed in making our move smooth. When it came time to see houses in person, we were in town for only a day and a half, and we wanted to find our home during that short window -- Tracy really went above and beyond by lining up 20 homes spread all around the area and pulling down lots of information on each home. It's a competitive and downright stressful market, made even more difficult because we were relocating and had a small window to make our decision, but somehow she made it easy!! After closing, we continued to rely on Tracy for a variety of things, including who to trust for lawn services, handymen, and even restaurant referrals. We can't recommend Tracy enough -- if you are looking to buy or sell a home in this area, you will be well taken care of by Tracy.
~ Aaron F. & Laura S.
"In an unprecedented housing market, my 3,500-SF home was sold by Tracy Smith after I had previously used three other agents. If you are planning to sell or purchase a home, your selection of an agent is critical, especially today. I never appreciated how important the agent was until I met her. Tracy is a consummate professional and pays attention to details. Her communication is always prompt and she is thorough. My home was sold and the closing went flawlessly all due to her preparation."
~ Tom K.
"My husband and I stumbled upon Tracy Smith at an open house in our neighborhood. Since our first encounter with her as a realtor, we have been highly pleased with her character and her level of competency, efficiency, and involvement.
We have found her to be a very knowledgeable and extremely hard working professional in assisting her clients to reach a positive conclusion. Her character and integrity have always been a hallmark in handling and completing real estate transactions. She was our realtor during tough economic times, with the housing market hitting record lows, and yet her nature was nothing but confident she could overcome the challenges of our complicated situation.
Tracy is not your typical realtor. From the moment we started working with her, she put us first. Whether this meant scheduling appointments until 3am to see homes the next day or showing a home 3 times over again, Tracy wasn't pleased until WE were. I have never met a realtor more ambitious, determined, and genuine in all of my real estate experiences."
~ Brad & Amanda K.
"Tracy -- I so much appreciate the extra effort you gave to take the time out of your schedule to go meet with that appraiser yesterday. That, and your excellent communication with me, shows me you are a professional who really represents their client and the industry well. It's refreshing to partner with a like-minded professional."
~ Doug O.
"I can't thank you enough for handling all of the last minute details on making the house and grounds at my home in Wayzata ready for your buyers. Handling all the details and splitting the cost with my Realtor was amazing. Thank you again for helping me and making the final push to close happen. Neighbors already have made fast friends."
~ Dawn D.
"Tracy - We would like to express our gratitude for all your help in the sale of our home and the purchase of our new home. Your expertise and understanding made an overwhelming process much easier. We both feel that you went over and above what we would have expected of a realtor and you became a friend in the meantime. We have and will continue to recommend you and your agency to our friends and family. We cannot thank you enough for all you've done for us! We love our new home."
~ Barb & Arley A.
"Thanks for all your help with this transaction, especially getting "your people" to respond to the urgent request for cleaning services – I couldn’t have done that! You must give them a lot of business! I hope to transact more business with you in the future with equally good results!"
~ Sandy S.
"Looking back on the first 6 months of this year, we sure had some good times. I know we were not your easiest clients to work with, but I can't thank you enough for your patience. As if finding the perfect home wasn't challenging enough, then add this dark cloud and constant worry of the "townhome". I am truly grateful for all you have done for us, especially having the determination to sell our townhome, because I know many Realtors would have recommended differently. Till this day, I still look at our new home in "awe" and wonder how we got so lucky to find everything we wanted. We owe this to you and your team. We love our new home!!"
