  • Tracy helped us move from Texas to Ohio. Her team went over and above not only in helping us find a home, but working out any issues that came up with the transition. She even fixed issues that came up with the Texas team that were NOT as seasoned as she was. I will NEVER move without her again!

  • Tracy was very professional, but still personable. She was a pleasure to work with. She found us a house and sold our home very quickly. I am so glad we used her.
