Elite Realtors
from December 2022
Your house is the largest investment you will likely ever make in your lifetime. Whether buying or selling, there’s no need to make this decision bigger or more difficult than it has to be. You shouldn’t have to worry about big things—like whether or not you can negotiate the right price—or small things—like washing the windows one final time. With the help of Elite Realtors, you won’t have to worry at all.
Tracy Lee opened Elite Realtors in March of 2020, servicing all of North Georgia and most areas within a 50-mile radius of Chattanooga. Since then, the business has taken off on its own, an explosion of sorts, as more and more homeowners discover how easy and enjoyable it is to buy or sell a house with Elite Realtors! “I established [the business] because I got tired of franchises taking over what real estate is all about, and that to me is service,” said Lee, who emphasized the focus she puts on her clients. “Commissions are negotiable, my client comes first, and if, at the end of the deal, the only way to close is to reduce our commission as realtors, we should be able to do it. I do it because I love it, not because I’m trying to make a ton of money off of it. It’s a passion.”

If you’re looking to move, you can call (706) 937-4663 to get in touch with Tracy Lee and her team and start the buying or selling process. Remember, buying or selling a house is an investment!
