Moving closer to grandkids and family! Yay!

Congratulations to Mark and Mary Jo!!

I just had the privilege of helping Mark and Mary Jo buy a wonderful condo! I met them because their son, Chad, is one of my dearest clients and Mark and Mary Jo wanted to be closer to Chad, Libby and the Grandkids. This is truly one of the best parts of my job- helping families stay connected or become closer. 

We were able to find Mark and Mary Jo a wonderful single-level condo in a sweet Hillsboro location and it checks all the boxes! It was a great transaction and I would like to take this opportunity to point out that when we help clients buy condos we highly recommend they do a review of the HOA docs with an attorney. As real estate agents, we cannot give legal advice so an attorney is integral to deciphering all of the HOA documents, rules, budget etc. In this case, we used Janet Grayson from Grason Law because we have worked with her many times and we know that she is thorough. This was such a big help to Mark and Mary Jo, as it is for all of our clients buying a home within an HOA. Thank you to Janet!

Congratulations and Cheers to Mark and Mary Jo! Here’s to building new memories with your sweet grandkiddos!

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.
