Tracy Butler's Recommendations
Steady, wise advocate for nervous first-time buyers
For such newbie nervous nellies trying to buy a house in the Bay Area, Tracy was the perfect combination of even-handed finesse and wisdom coupled with thoughtful and precise communication. I never thought we would get to the other side of the house hunting adventure but here we are. Thanks Tracy!
Trusted professional for both buying and selling
Tracy is a perfect professional who goes above and beyond to help you buy/sell your home. I've worked with her on buying and selling my home and she will always be my go to realtor. She's great!
Empathetic, expert advocate for first-time buyers
Tracy is the all time best. I am a single mom and first time home buyer and she explained things clearly, gave great advice, and advocated for me every step of the way. In fact, I had been working with another realtor before Tracy but had been recommended to Tracy and decided to contact her. I was so glad I did. It became clear what it was like to work with someone who knows their stuff and enjoys their job:) Thank you Tracy!
Exceptional realtor who truly cares and delivers
Everybody says they have the best doctor, the best dentist and the best realtor. Trust me on this. Tracy is definitely up there as the best. I can't believe anyone enlisting her services would think otherwise. It's impossible not to feel taken care of with her. Before Tracy we just picked a random realtor that seemed "nice". Heck, they all have to be nice. But unfortunately the one we picked at random let us down in the most critical moment of a transaction and we lost out on the house we wanted. I contacted an old retired realtor friend and he recommended Tracy. We went to visit her at her office and when we walked out of the doors of her office, we felt like a huge weight was lifted off of our shoulders. We had an extremely complicated process obtaining this house and Tracy was on top of it all the entire way. She would call or text us almost every day with reminders on things we had to take care of or look into or sign. The sale was over 6 months ago and she's still checking in with us!
Above-and-beyond service with honesty and care
Through out the years I have bought and sold several properties and this is the first time I am leaving a review for a broker. Tracy goes above and beyond to work aligned with her clients to meet their expectations. She is honest, thorough and doesn't put any pressure on the client. She did an amazing job for me, and I can't be happier with her performance. Thank you Tracy and I hope we can do more transactions in the future.
Patient, knowledgeable agent helps find perfect fit
My fiancée and I worked with Tracy to find a new home in the East Bay. Tracy was very patient and knowledgeable. She showed us a variety of different kinds of home in different neighborhoods, and helped us determine that Oakland would be the best fit. We found a lovely home in our price range, and Tracy worked with us to line up the financing, negotiate the sale, etc. she was also a great source for referrals to contractors and other vendors. I strongly recommend her.
Patient guidance through a long home search
It was a pleasure working with Tracy. It took us a long time to find a house and narrow down our desired location, but Tracy was with us each step of the way. She was very patient and we never felt pressured. The market is crazy and Tracy helped us navigate it. I highly recommend and we would love to work with Tracy again in the future.
Calm, knowledgeable agent who delivers dream homes
Tracy helped us with our Oakland home purchase. She is highly experienced and directed us in a direction that got us the home we wanted. Her demeanor is calming, and we never felt rushed or pressured. She communicated well with the seller's agent as well as made introductions to contractors who would help us with repairs. She was an absolute pleasure to work with, and we highly recommend her.
Oakland market expert who gets results fast
Tracy was wonderful to work with. She knows the Oakland market, handled all of the details, and happy to say she got our home sold! I highly recommend working with her!
Supportive expert for first-time East Bay buyers
Tracy was incredibly helpful in our long (and ultimately successful) house hunt. A pleasure to talk to, she explained everything there was to know about buying a home in the East Bay and answered the considerable questions we had as first-time homebuyers. We felt we were in good hands throughout the process, and would recommend her to anyone looking in this challenging market.
Flawless prep and stunning presentation for sale
Tracy was incredible: so helpful, efficient and absolutely spot on in all her recommendations. She came to our first meeting at my Oakmore home completely prepared and had excellent suggestions. Then she quickly put together a packet with her suggested preparations, including suggested people to work with and estimated costs. Everything went perfectly smoothly and the house was absolutely gorgeous when it was listed. We ended up selling over asking with multiple offers. I could not have had an easier experience! I highly recommend her!
Fast, strategic sale exceeding expectations under pressure
Tracy made our house-selling experience a lot less stressful. After making an offer on our new house, we had only 19 days to declutter, stage, list and get our house under contract. Tracy came in and helped us make tough decisions on pricing and staging and expertly helped us navigate the rules and restrictions under Covid as well as providing us with valuable insight on the market. We’re happy to say we had our house under contract within 7 days of listing it and she got us a price that exceeded our expectations. She handled the whole process with professionalism, integrity and patience. We would recommend her to anyone looking to sell or buy a new home.
Expert guidance in challenging Oakland Hills sale
We worked with Tracy in the selling of our friend with dementia's home in the Oakland hills earlier this year, in a challenging market. She is the best agent we have ever worked with. She is knowledgeable, detail oriented, handled everything and communicated professionally along the way. Her home received multiple offers and sold above the asking price.
Dedicated partner for multiple successful transactions
Tracy is a fantastic partner when it comes to both Buying and Selling real estate. We first met when she helped us buy a property on Skyline in 2016. She was very helpful and honest with advice when she represented both the buyer and seller for us. Recently she has helped us sell one of our other properties and went way over the top, assisting in the preparations to get the property ready before it went on the market. I hope to use her services again and again!
Made first-time Oakland home purchase stress-free
We used Tracy to purchase our first home in a crazy Oakland market in early 2021 and it made what could have been a very stressful process much smoother. Tracy was so knowledgeable and responsive; she offered realistic advice while being very respectful of our specific situation and needs. There were many times where her connections to other real estate agents and her deep knowledge of the market helped us make better decisions. She helped coordinate amongst the many different professionals (mortgage, title, etc.) involved and was an excellent and empathetic advocate throughout. Overall, Tracy is the consummate professional and someone you want to have on your side in a real estate deal. She helped us accomplish our goals, met our needs, and did it all in a time frame that exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend her for any real estate needs.
Deep East Bay expertise and reliable market insight
Tracy knows the East Bay market and competently guided us in all aspect of researching properties, making offers, and closing on a house. Her experience was evident in all kinds of ways, for example, assessing home values in a hot market and subtle price points in offers. She was always on top of everything. She even found us a mortgage broker when our big-name bank was getting too bureaucratic and unresponsive. We couldn’t imagine a better agent.
Hands-on marketing and seamless home sale experience
Paul and I are so grateful for the help Tracy gave us when selling his house in the Oakland Hills! Tracy was on the job before the house hit the market with her invaluable advice on how to prepare the house most effectively for sale. Tracy has a team of talented contractors and design personnel that stepped in to help us put the best face on our home. During the sales process, Tracy worked tirelessly to get the most eyeballs on our home. What impressed me in addition to her hands on marketing was her constant follow up with prospective buyers and their Agents. She remained available to them to answer questions and to keep our house in front of them with gentle reminders about its awesome-ness! We ended up getting a great price for our home, a smooth close and no drama! Thanks so much Tracy for a seamless process. We appreciate you very much!
Warm, supportive, and confident throughout tough market
I have dealt with several other realtors before. Tracy was knowledgeable, warm, and receptive to our needs. She was always available and able to answer any questions we had. Working with her was more like working with a close friend than a real estate broker. She was extremely supportive, comforting and reassuring throughout the entire process. When the Berkeley housing market started to drop, she stayed confident, calm and assured. I highly recommend Tracy as a realtor. I couldn't be happier. Thank you for all your hard work Tracy!
Patient, thorough agent who truly listens
We really enjoyed working with Tracy as our agent. Every time we viewed a new property Tracy would perform an inspection, looking for signs of problems and commenting on the quality of construction, finish, appliances, etc, prompting us to consider upcoming repairs or issues. She was patient and led us through multiple offers and rounds of negotiation to get to a price we were comfortable with. We never felt any pressure to change our prices or do anything we weren't comfortable with as she simply gave appropriate and knowledgeable advice when asked. She was always calm even when things got down to the final hours and was always working harder than we were aware in the background. We really appreciated how good she was at listening to what we were looking for and taking the time to understand our needs. After only a few viewings her suggestions were really on point and felt like part of our team. In the end she found a property that was perfect for us and are loving it so far.
