Buying a home can be overwhelming, especially managing the complexities of a 1031 exchange, but Traci and Evette made the entire experience feel manageable. Their professionalism, integrity, expertise, and kindness truly set them apart. I would not hesitate to recommend Traci Brown and Evette to anyone buying or selling a home. They make an exceptional team, and I am incredibly grateful for all of their hard work, guidance, and support throughout the process. read more

tl;dr traci and evette and team are superheroes who know how to navigate the roller coaster that is real estate with such grace and expertise. incredibly responsive, caring and friendly (totally felt like we were traci's only clients the entire time). 11/10 recommend. umm...a house and real estate agent who will vouch for you...in this market? yeah, even the thought is stress-inducing. in a market where the sale-to-pending window is in hours not days, you need an expert guide who can not only keep you posted about new listings, but also someone who is ready to jump on the accelerator when Zillow notifies you of the perfect listing on your lock screen. that's exactly who traci and evette are -- whenever we wanted to see a home that caught our attention, evette was somehow always one step ahead of us -- reaching out to the seller's real estate agent, having all the details, and squeezing us in for a private showing asap -- all in the blink of an eye. on site, evette was always so prepared, very knowledgeable both about the listing and areas in the home that were well done and what we should pay closer attention to, even keeping a flashlight and laser measuring tape, just in case. and, as it so typically happens, as our minds changed as we looked at homes, evette and traci were always patient and kept tabs of the little details we mentioned so that we could find the ideal home. we never felt pressured and always felt reassured! when the perfect opportunity did come up, traci stepped in so swiftly and immediately knew what to do and kept a close eye on pending offers: we were positioned for success (in our comfort zone while still being competitive!) when it came time to negotiation and honestly couldn't be more thrilled. traci was there every step of the way (literally just a text or call or email away!) and went above and beyond to make sure we were always in the loop, our best interests were represented, and our questions were answered so that we could find our new home. all in all, didn't even realize we were on the rollercoaster that is real estate :-) you're in good hands with traci and evette! they're rockstars! read more

WOW! Where do we even start?!? My fiance and I just sold both of our homes and purchased 1 home within a 3 month period and Traci was a rockstar for us during the entire process! She stayed on top of every little detail and her communication via text, email, phone, etc. was top notch (we felt like Traci's only clients the entire time with the attention she gave us! haha). Traci is ethical, kind, and professional to her clients and to the opposite side (buyers/sellers) and always stays true to what she represents :) Another thing that sets Traci apart as a real estate agent is her ability to educate buyers and sellers throughout the entire journey while not being afraid to give her honest, professional opinion if asked. She also helped me purchase my first home and was very knowledgeable on everything including structural engineers, warranties, title/loan process.... the list goes on & on! A sincere thank you to Traci and her team! We could not have done this without you and we are so happy in our new home! read more

Traci and Kristina are great! They were friendly, responsive, knowledgeable, professional, and organized. They had very open and direct communication with us throughout the process. They did a good job of really listening to our needs and finding/recommending homes that fit what we were looking for. We had shopped around for realtors, and Traci and Kristina are the only ones who asked us what we wanted and really listened to us. We felt like they had our back throughout the process. After each house we visited, they asked us what we liked and what we didn't like, so that they could refine their searching for us. We had a thoroughly positive experience working with them. :) read more

Traci helped me purchase my first home roughly 6-7 years ago. She made all the difference at the time given the extremely competitive market and I couldn't have been happier with the whole process. More recently, I was ready to purchase another property and reached out to Traci. Again I was blown away by the level of professionalism, attention to detail, and the help her and her team provided along the way. I would highly recommend her and her team to anyone looking to purchase or sell a home. read more

Traci and her colleague Kristina provided everything we could have asked for from buyer's agents. When we thought our purchase date was some ways away, they still found the time to have a thoughtful conversation with us and conduct a tour of some neighborhoods that fit our criteria. And when our circumstances suddenly changed, they jumped right into action and helped us make an offer earlier than expected. They were very conscious of our limited budget and carefully helped us find properties that fit, never trying to push us out of our budget range. During the offer and negotiation phase, Traci provided the calming, expert advice I needed as a first-time buyer. She also helped connect us with a great network of inspectors and contractors and worked hard to get everything done in our shortened inspection period. Overall, we're happy we got connected to Traci and Kristina, and I would absolutely recommend them to a friend. read more

Traci and team were fantastic to work with during both the home selling and buying process. We built new construction and over the last 8 months she went to bat for us whenever needed, making sure things were done right. Traci and her whole team were always focused on ensuring we were happy with our decisions each step of the way. Big shout out and thanks for all of their hard work. read more

My wife and I were first time home buyers. Traci and Kristina were so helpful and answered all our questions. In such a tight market, they advised us to keep looking and be patient. We definitely weren't expecting to find a place within a month or two! Traci even helped us negotiate a better deal than we could have ever thought of. Without their help and guidance, we would not be living in our new home! I've already started referring them to people I know, so if you are reading this you should have Traci and Kristina find a wonderful home for you as well! read more

Traci, Kristina, and Amanda make an absolute all-star real estate team. From the first day we brought them on as our agency they provided helpful guidance and necessary resources to ensure we were making an informed decision about our home purchase. Whenever there was a property we wanted to view, they were back to us within 10 minutes with numerous options within the next 24 hours to view the property. When writing offers Traci and her team were able to come up with creative solutions to help us craft the most competitive offer possible without breaking the bank. When we got an accepted offer, her team guided us through every step of the process and gave us confidence that we were making the right decision for our family. As long as I remain in the Portland area, Traci Brown and her team will be our agency of choice. read more

We bought a house through Traci three years ago. We had such an easy a delightful experience we knew we could trust her to sell the same house when we needed to move out of state this past month. She was quick to respond to all of our questions and concerns as first time buyers and sellers. She was able to educate us on everything we needed to know about the process, and she was 100% on OUR side, not just in it for a commission. She treated us like we were her only clients when we knew she had many others. She truly cares about you and finding the right home and or buyer for you. She is also easy to get in contact with, and never leaves you second guessing any decision. I only wish she could be our realtor in California! read more

Traci was great to work with during my move to Portland! I was selling a house in Chicago and buying a house in Portland at the same time and needed to coordinate everything on a timely basis because I wanted to move in right away into a new house as soon as I got to Portland! There were a lot of logistics and things that needed to get done and Traci and her colleague Kristine did a magnificent job getting me into my new house! I would highly recommend Traci and Kristine! read more

Traci is a fantastic realtor! I have introduced several of my clients to Traci because she is knowledgeable, professional and caring! I look forward to transactions that include Traci and her clients and look forward to many more in the future! read more

Traci is a fantastic Real Estate Agent! She has helped my husband and I look at countless homes. We haven't found "The One" yet, but I think we're getting closer. Traci has shown so much patience with us as we've toured homes and critiqued them. My husband is very particular! She's always quick to respond to my calls/emails/text and is usually one step ahead of me. If you need a reliable agent who's willing to go above & beyond, look no further! read more

Wow..where to even begin. Traci is an absolute joy to work with, she is organized, on time, thorough, knowledgeable, and is willing to fight for her clients. As first time home buyers in the competitive Portland market, I was a little nervous with the whole process. Honestly, she made it a breeze. Everyone complains about the home buying process and ours was cake, and I know it is because of Traci! She stayed within our guidelines and budget and helped us find the perfect home. Again, as a first time buyer, I had about 1,000 questions. She never made me feel like I was bothering her and she always had answers and sent me additional information on top of it. When we finally found our home and signed, the same day she sent a list with contact numbers and names of who to reach out to in order to set up utilities and garbage..etc. Super organized and helpful Lastly, she helped us navigate to get our offer accepted on our current home. It is so scary at first, but she made us feel at ease and she knew what our limit was and what we were comfortable paying and she got us the house under our budget :) Essentially, she is the best around, You will not be disappointed if you use her as your realtor. I will be recommending her to anyone who asks and you will get top notch service if you go with her! You won't regret it! read more

My husband and I moved to Portland with an aggressive 3.5 month timeline to find, buy and close on our home in a hot sellers-market, with low inventory in the neighborhoods we wanted. We interviewed 3 agents looking for certain qualities. We needed someone who could identify and understand our home desires (aesthetic and knowledge of neighborhoods), be proactive with lining up relevant showings and chauffeur us all around Portland (as we were sans vehicle AND 6 months pregnant), and lastly, be our "prize-winning fighter" when an offer was made in this very competitive market. Traci met all of the above criteria and so much more! When interviewing Traci, she displayed confidence (and she could back it up), inteligence and proved herself as knowledgeable and connected. She has a ton of drive (self-motivator) and an engaging personality/energy that was positive and comforting. After our meeting, we nick-named her our "bull-dog." If we were in a situation bidding on a home with multiple offers, we would have our best chances of an accepted offer, with her on our side. Three months and 40+ house showings later, we were proven right! We are a very picky couple, but the perfect home came onto the market, we jumped and she closed the deal. We are so thankful we picked Traci to work with us to find our perfect home! read more

Traci was outstanding during our search for a home. My wife and I were "newcomers" to the Portland area. Traci showed us houses throughout the PDX area. She quickly understood what types of houses/features we were looking for and didn't waste our time with listings that didn't meet our requirements. She was ALWAYS available via text, phone, or email when we had questions or needed some quick action on an offer. She knows the local market and the process. She has a wonderful personality and was an absolute pleasure to work with! I would recommend her highly and use her again if we ever bought/sold in the Portland area. Thanks Traci!! read more
