​Got Real Estate questions? Want to know more about the process or your home value? I welcome your call. Tracy, phone: 510-517-6202/ email: tracy@tracymcbride.com.
Tracy is a consummate professional and in this tricky market, we would highly recommend having her by your side! She is very proactive, responsive, and an excellent communicator.
Tracy made everything go smoothly from beginning to end. By the time our home went on the market we were living out of state but we had complete confidence in Tracy. She kept us well-informed and handled every contingency. We would definitely recommend her!
My sister and I interviewed 5 different real estate agents. Tracy has a great head for details, and would remember the small things that needed done. She had good suggestions about price point, staging and pics, and got us a good buyer, within a short period of time, once the house went on the market. I would definitely use her again in a minute – she is great to work with.
Tracy knocked it out of park in representing us as buyers (in El Cerrito) and sellers (in Kensington). In buying our new house, Tracy helped us navigate and monetize quirks of the property. She helped us act nimbly during the offer process and I am confident that we got the most bang for the buck.
Tracy is: honest, a great communicator, a hard worker, never pushy, never condescending no matter how silly it gets, a great negotiator, and the person you want on your side when buying a house. She also has earned tremendous respect from the other realtors in the area, which is a huge plus. She has her pulse on the market as well. In what can be a stressful hunt and chase, Tracy's tempo is relaxing, competent, and encouraging. I can't recommend her enough.
Rarely do I meet someone that truly impresses me. Tracy is what a real estate agent should be. Tracy was a true partner every step of the way. I was particularly impressed with her marketing readout. Our home sale went incredibly smooth. I can tell her years of experience and industry relationships add incredible value. All in all, we highly recommend working with Tracy!
Tracy McBride immediately stood out above all others, bringing all the skills that one would hope to find in an agent. She displayed an exceptional combination of professionalism and depth of knowledge, along with strong inter-personal communication and coordination skills. Tracy immediately recognized the unique character of our property and developed an impressive marketing plan around it. She provided us with clear direction on how to maximize the value of our home and increase the likelihood of a quick sale. Tracy is pro-active and very steady; her initial guidance enabled us to avoid major surprises, and her outstanding problem-solving skills allowed us to quickly get past minor issues.
Each home seller and each buyer's needs are unique. However, there are customary market trends and local practices you need to know. I welcome an introductory meeting with you to discuss your questions and priorities.
