Tracy performs miracles when it comes to real estate! My husband and I have worked with Tracy for numerous years and each and every time we present her with these complicated real distaste scenarios and she makes it all happen! She has bought and sold several of our estates in San Francisco, Marin and St. Helena. Tracy is not only an outstanding real estate agent with a stellar team, she is a kind, honest and straightforward woman who we trust implicitly.

Tracy McLaughlin, the woman who was born and, I believe, continues to live in "a little town called Ross," was the representative I had hoped she would be--and more. Yes, it may be that she presents any offer that may be made at the asking price or even under--but she is duty-bound to do that, I would suggest. If the seller chooses to sell at a lower price, that is her/his choice.
Having respect for the standards of an agent is important to me; Tracy earned (and continues to earn) that honor. She is a lady, in every beautiful sense of the word. Her office staff respects her

Tracy is the worst real estate agent you can sign with. It appears she works better with men, but may heaven help you if you sign with her. After its little to NO communication, and lies, as she destroys your life or tries to. She can't be bothered to help you and that means with absolutely anything., Tracy belittles you after signing and with her homes she inhabits in Marin, Lake Tahoe, as well as Aspen Colorado you will have no help, guidance, as she will destroy you if she can. Do not sign with her if you care about your home selling, or even being honest with or about you. She will be
