About Tracie 2
Tracie brings to her real estate career over 20 years of sales, marketing and customer service. She is known for selling some of the most prestigious properties in Rhode Island, however her expertise extends across all neighborhoods and property types, giving her a unique ability to present her clients with specific information as well as real time market overviews and analyzed data. She goes above the status quo to help her clients.
Tracie was instrumental in helping me buy my first home during a crazy seller's market. I know for a fact the reason my offer for my house was accepted was due to Tracie's professionalism and how she packaged and presented the offer to the seller's. She helped me navigate the twists and turns the of house buying experience with ease. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a realtor in Rhode Island. We were extremely pleased with Tracie, who was the realtor we selected to list and sell the Little Compton home of my elderly mother. Since no one from our family lives in Rhode Island full time, Tracie's local expertise and network proved to be invaluable in helping us get the house emptied out and staged for sale. We were particularly pleased that, with Tracie's help, almost all the furniture and other furnishings were able to be donated to.... and picked up by charitable organizations. Tracie's photographer took wonderful photos and a drone video for the listing that showcased the house beautifully. The house was sold on Day 1 for above asking price. She was highly responsive and a pleasure to deal with. Tracie did a fantastic job for us. We are absentee owners that were selling a long time rental property. It ended up that there was a fair amount of tenant damage to repair. Tracie stepped in and used her natural organizer skills to help us hire quality contractors. She also did a great job dealing with the buyers agents and legal representation. In all she really earned her commission on this one. 3 As I was living out of state while selling my mother’s house, Tracie was extremely helpful in all aspects of selling the home, including services to help with the clean out. I first spoke with her in August and settled in November and the entire process was very smooth.

If the appraisal comes in lower than our agreed sales price, we will negotiate the difference (solutions include a combination of a price reduction, or the buyer and seller bringing additional cash to closing). If the home doesn’t appraise, the buyer will have the option to walk away from the transaction and keep their earnest money.

We know you want to top dollar for your property. We also know how to identify your property’s value and position your home to fetch the highest offers. YOUR PROPERTY COMPETIVELY GENERATES MORE (AND BETTER) OFFERS 8 Value is not determined by what you paid or how much you would like to get for your home. Instead this is determined by how much a buyer is willing to pay in today’s market. The right price can bring in multiple offers that drive the price up. A property attracts the most activity in the first two weeks of the listing. After that point, newer listings start to overshadow it. We use real-time data from home area sales to identify the current market value. We price strategically in order to attract interest as soon as your listing hits the market, when it typically has the greatest exposure.

If you have pets, be sure to take them elsewhere during viewings. If that’s not possible, contain them in the backyard or crate. Always make arrangements to be out of your home during viewings. Having the sellers present makes the buyers feel uncomfortable, and they will focus more on the fact that you were there than on the home. We do not want “uncomfortable” to be their memory of your home! Lastly, please remove or conceal valuables including jewelry, prescription drugs, etc.
After we list your home, you will be contacted about viewings. Here are a few things to keep in mind… We will call or text you requesting a viewing at a specific time and day. Please note, while we can request a minimum requirement for showing notifies, there are agents that may not honor our request. This is out of our control, but we will do everything possible to avoid it.
