Hi, I’m Tracy Butler—an Oakland-based real estate agent who’s been helping people buy and sell homes in the East Bay since 2002. I absolutely love what I do, and I’m here to make your home journey smooth, successful, and even fun.
If you’re looking to sell your home in Oakland, I’ll guide you through every step—from free home valuation to strategic pricing, professional staging, and marketing that gets homes sold fast and for top dollar. I specialize in neighborhoods like Montclair, Rockridge, Glenview, Oakmore, and the Oakland Hills, and I know how to position your home to stand out.
If you’re buying, I’ll help you compete with confidence in this fast-paced market. Whether it’s your first home or your dream home, I’m a strong negotiator and a patient guide who truly listens and cares.
I’ve lived in Oakland for over 20 years, and I love sharing all the local insight I’ve picked up—real estate and beyond (yes, I can recommend the best dog-friendly trails too!). Let’s talk about your goals—I’d be honored to help you move forward.
