    • We highly recommend Tracy. We have done 4 real estate transactions with her (between buying and selling homes/property). She is honest, hard working, great communicator, and has excellent knowledge of the local markets. If you are trying to find an agent that you can trust, look no further.

      - Robert Steffes, Oakland
    • Tracy is everything you want in a realtor: knowledgeable, professional, friendly, patient, detail oriented and very savvy about all things houses in the East Bay. She was able to help us find a great place for us in a great Oakland neighborhood in 2012 and then she helped us sell the place for a great price 7 years later! Weve sent several friends to work with Tracy over the years who have all had great experiences too! Shes the best!

      - Katie Sutherland, Oakland
    • Nine years ago, we met Tracy Butler when she was the sellers agent for the Oakland property we lived in and loved until two months ago, when Tracy sold it for us so we could move into our dream retirement home.She was so knowledgeable, so responsive, such a good communicator and so generous with her time when we first met her that there was no doubt in our minds who to contact when it was time to sell.Tracy doesnt just get the job done, she gets it done thoroughly, quickly, and with some real style! Her level of service is truly exceptional.

    • 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 what it was like to work with someone who knows their stuff and enjoys their job:) Thank you Tracy!

      - Regina Sorey, Oakland
    • 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.

      - John Chesterton, Oakland
    • 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!

      - Stefan P, Oakland
    • Tracy is very knowledgeable and 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.

      - Alisa Nadolishny, Oakland
    • 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.

      - Tatyana Mikhaylova, Pleasant Hill
    • 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. Were 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.

      - Jennifer Hines, Oakland
    • 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!

      - Adam Willis, Oakland
    • Tracy knows the East Bay market and competently guided us in all aspect of researching properties, making offers, and closing on a house in Walnut Creek. 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 couldnt imagine a better agent.

      - William Donnelly, Walnut Creek
    • We used Tracy to purchase our first home in a crazy market in early 2021 and it made what could have been a very stressful process much smoother. Tracy was knowledgeable and responsive to a fault; 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.
