Someday is not a day of the week

Congratulations to Julian and his family!!

They say: kind people are the best kind of people to know and and that quote reminds me of Julian. He was referred to me by my fantastic preferred lender and I’m so glad I met him! He was great to work with and I’m thrilled we could get him into the house he had his eye on. 

Julians home buying story is a simple one really… Julian saw a house for sale down the street from where he was living and he took a shot at making it his own! First things first, he went out and got pre-approved (everyone should be taking notes here! Ha!) The house was well loved although it had a few quirks. He was a very diligent buyer, kept an open mind through inspections and in the end both sides were able to see eye to eye in order to seal the deal!  

The house is super cute, the yard is completely dialed in with lovely landscaping and he will be enjoying blueberries, raspberries and flowers from his garden. I hope Julian and his family have a great summer hanging out in the amazing yard and patio!

She/Her

Tracey Henkels attributes her disciplined nature and relentless work ethic to a childhood spent rising and retiring by the light of the sun on her family's apple orchard in Iowa. Gratefully, that Midwestern mentality has served her well over the years as Tracey continues to deliver excellent customer service, superior technical skill, and a wide array of industry knowledge on behalf of her clients. While Tracey wouldn't trade her career as a Real Estate broker for any other, her first love was Architecture. After receiving her degree at Iowa State University, Tracey worked in the architecture world for over 6 years before deciding she wanted to forge a new professional path. In 2004, Tracey jumped heart-first into the world of helping her people buy and sell houses. She's never looked back. When you meet Tracey, one of the first things you notice is her positive energy, and zest for life. One of her favorite things about being a broker is the ability to help people make powerful transitions. Tracey's natural patience, unwavering professionalism, and optimistic attitude make her both a compassionate broker and tough negotiator. Tracey is committed to serving others, making a difference in her community, and giving back. When she isn't working hard to best serve her clients, you might find her tending to her garden, growing fresh vegetables and beautiful flowers, cross country skiing, or planning her next exciting adventure.   Tracey works as a team, alongside Kelsey Burkett, Broker Licensed in OR.
