Congratulations to first time home buyer Emily!!
Emily is the coolest! I met her through my assistant, Jasmine, who met her years and years ago while both of them were working hard to grow in their careers and bartending on the side. These days, both have hit their stride professionally and Emily is now an Environmental Engineer and killing it in her field!
Emily is a laid back person, an avid bicyclist and came to us looking for a sweet little house in N Portland. She lived with roommates and loves how financially beneficial that living arrangement can be. Her list of needs was very reasonable, said she could live with any kind of imperfection in a home as long as she had a great bike commute and the house was in move in ready. Easy enough! …And maybe too easy because low and behold the SECOND house we showed her was a true gem! The perfect size, in great condition, a garage for bike repairs and easy access to a bike path! We jumped on the opportunity and now Emily is the proud owner of a lovely home! She might even have enough space for puppy, yay!
Don’t be surprised if you see her cruising around St Johns on her bike with a huge grin on her face!

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.
