You can’t rush something you want to last forever

Congratulations to Jason & Tonia!!

Jason and Tonia are two of the sweetest repeat clients I have! We have bought and sold and bought again and each time we work together I am reminded what smart and kind-hearted people they are.

Jason and Tonia worked hard to turn their little bungalow into a little gem and enjoyed a smooth sale. After selling their house, they made the really smart decision to rent until they found their next dream home. I know this isn’t an option for everyone for various reasons, but it really helps if it’s possible. Jason and Tonia could take their time and didn’t feel as much pressure to over-bid or succumb to some of the craziness buyers are feeling in this market. They lost out on a few houses but in the end, being able to wait for this perfect house was totally worth it! They sailed through inspections and are so excited for their next chapter!

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.
