Tracy McLaughlin has represented me when both buying and selling homes. I highly recommend her and her excellent team in both instances. She is the most knowledgeable, professional, and talented agent anywhere. She found me my dream house off-market, and then get my old house sold in less than two days. Her advice was spot-on, and both transactions were seamless. read more

Tracy represented us in the sale of our Kentfield property. We contacted her specifically due to some challenging aspects of properly marketing our home. She did not disappoint. She was up for doing the due diligence and guided us through the preparation, timing, and pricing. She was personally involved the whole way, willing to answer our calls and take meetings at almost any time. She has a wealth of connections to get work done, get questions answered, and to expose the property to a wide range of buyers. In the end she connected us with well-informed buyers and guided us through the sale process with confidence. Working with her was a pleasure and we would gladly recommend her to anyone buying or selling in Marin. read more

Tracy is a force. She came to our house and told me what I needed to do create maximum interest and a quick sale, She knows what she is doing. I was a little hesitant at first but she was right. She said she would sell the house in a week. Well that was not accurate. She sold it in six days. On yeah for $500,000.00 over asking ! Thank you Tracy. You are the best ! Jeremy read more

Tracy is a true professional. Her wisdom, energy and effectiveness are best in class. We had a very difficult and challenging situation with our sale, and I feel strongly that we were able to navigate so well to a successful close because we had Tracy. Thank you, Tracy! read more

Our experience with Tracy MacLaughlin was far beyond our expectation. Tracy and Grace were easy to work with, available when needed and proactive in communication. Our situation was somewhat complex with difficult decisions to make (should we redo this or that, to what extent and what Tracy thought a new owner would want for their family) Tracy gave us thoughtful relevant and seasoned advice. The net result was that we agreed on a price which satisfied us and gave the new owner an opening to create their dream home at a lower cost. The closing was as easy as I've ever been a part. Tracy and Grace and the crew they work with were as easy to work with as one could hope. There is a reason she's tops! All and all a very good experi read more

tracy is absolutely in a league of her own - i worked with her on 3 occasions over 8 years i simply cannot say enough good things about tracy who i believe is top 20 ranked in the entire country she and her team redefine entirely what it means to work with an agent - from strategy to bringing in an entire team to assist to remodeling for maximum value to even connecting me with contacts to sell my furniture and help me move - i have never seen anyone close in my experience responsive, personal, lives to work - i cant recommend her strongly enough do yourself a favor as well - listen to what she says and dont do what you think...thats why you hire her ps: my house got $500k over asking in an uncertain market read more

We recently decided to sell our home located in Ross. We had been there 21 years. Tracy was the sellers' agent when we bought the house. She has maintained a very visible presence in town so we thought she was a logical choice. We invited her over to discuss the sale. She laid out a very comprehensive process to maximize revenue, streamline the transaction, and avoid surprises once we were in contract. Her network includes staging expertise and folks who can make the landscape pop. Once we signed up, communication from Tracy and her team was timely and constant, keeping us informed of the process as we approached time to place the house on the market. Key to Tracy's approach (for our house) was getting all inspections done before we marketed the house, so both us and the sellers wouldn't be subject to surprises after we we were in contract. One open house generated multiple offers. After that, we let Tracy work her magic to create the strongest offer from the pool of potential buyers. Tracy made that a very quick and efficient process, and an accepted offer later, escrow was closed in under thirty days, with no surprises, hiccups, or stress. Tracy and her team's attention to communication during the entire process was key to easing our concerns in an inherently stressful situation. We feel we made the correct decision choosing Tracy and heartily recommend her. read more

Tracy's considerable experience helped us land a home in an area that's widely considered one of the premier locations to live in the Bay Area. Her guidance on doing proactive inspections, pricing strategies, and asking the right questions of the seller's agent were critical to our success in securing the home under competitive circumstances. Kelley and Hannah (who are part of Tracy's team), were also enormously helpful as they kept important information flowing after our offer was accepted, through weekends and well into the evenings. We never felt like we were in the dark or waiting on information as they all work closely as a team. Tracy has also developed extensive relationships with a myriad of home improvement companies, yard services, and independent contractors. She is very generous about sharing these resources, in addition to giving helpful guidance on when and at what stage to engage these craftspeople. From our first introduction call with Tracy, we were impressed with her genuine interest to get to know us beyond our budget or timing. She was sincerely interested in who we were as a family, and our goals for home ownership. We'd highly recommend Tracy to anyone! read more

After doing our homework and asking top agents in our local area who they would recommend to list our family home in Marin, it was unanimous - Tracy. She came to see us and immediately put us at ease about the sale process. Tracy and her team were phenomenal in all aspects of our sale. We understood that our family home of 70 years needed to be updated but under Tracy's guidance along with her design team's expertise, it was transformed and at lightning pace. Tracy was the calming voice working with a large family with many opinions. Our home was built in the 50's with a kitchen that was 1950s and 1985 merged together and not in a good way! Within 10 days it was brought current and looking fabulous with freshly painted cabinets, new appliances, countertops and flooring. She was candid about what needed to be done and we listened having reading her book, Real Estate Rescue. Because we lived across the Bay, her staff organized and worked out all of the details to make our appointments as convenient as possible or handled them for us, if needed. She was hands on throughout the process and held our open house. I cannot believe the home we started with was the same home showing on the MLS. Not only did we sell above ask in less than a week in a tough market, we felt a huge sense of pride in having our family home shine again and Tracy recognized that and I know our parents would have felt that too. Would recommend her to anyone and our family is so grateful. read more

Tracy's reputation as a top real estate agent is well-earned. She represented me as the buyer looking for a house in the $2mil - $3mil range. I did not know what to expect in terms of how much time she would have for me, but she was all in from day one. Going to showings on her own, taking the initiative to follow up with me etc. My first offer ended up being accepted in a multiple offer situation. I would use her again in a heartbeat, either as a buyer or seller. read more

Tracy and her team were amazing. They did a fantastic job getting my mom's house cleaned up and listed for sale. All the upgrades were done in 2 weeks, and we had multiple offers on the house 3 days after it listed. I'd absolutely work with them again. read more

Over the last decade, I have worked with Tracy McLaughlin on many real property transactions. It is difficult to imagine any agent who works longer days, stays in communication and works the market to obtain the highest realistic price available. That is the reason she has been the top producing agent in Marin County for years. She also has very competent staff to support her and, if you need to undertake any renovations, she knows all the local contractors and subcontractors. read more

Whether on the buy or sell side and you want a total pro, look no further. There is clearly good reason why no one has a more impressive track record of success in Marin County real estate than Tracy. Her commitment to the job, attention to detail, vast knowledge of this highly competitive market and relationships with other agents are all A+. I know Im a relatively small fish in her pond but her responsiveness and attentiveness have made me feel like her biggest client. I would recommend her 1000%. read more

If we could give 10 stars we would! Tracy and her team is beyond professional and we would recommend her to anyone who even thinks about selling or buying real estate. We have both sold and purchased homes with her assistance, and from beginning to end the professionalism, the know how, the forward thinking and follow up have been top notch. There is obviously a reason she is ranked 24th in THE NATION. You will be in the best of hands if you choose to work with the McLaughlin Team and they will get the transaction completed beyond doubt. It really is a no brainer! read more

Tracy McLaughlin of The Agency in southern Marin is a gem. Tracy's prodigious skills, knowledge as well as her long and successful experience as a realtor together with her passion for bringing together homes, and their sellers and buyers, distinguished our recent transaction in Tiburon-Belvedere. Tracy's unwavering commitment to our home search was essential where inventory is low; her efforts were essential as we recently relocated to southern Marin from Europe and did not have extensive prior knowledge of the real estate market here. Tracy was a partner throughout the home-buying process always answering our many questions throughout. Tracy and her team were effective to ensure a hassle-free purchase. Today, we so enjoy our home in Tiburon-Belvedere and remain so grateful to Tracy to land us in an extraordinary property. read more

List is to long. My experience was awful. She is not trustworthy and aims to sell- one you sign- everything changes!

Can't recommend Tracy and her team highly enough!! Having worked with a number of agents over the years, three things set Tracy apart. First is the level of service. Tracy's commitment, attention to detail, responsiveness and willingness to go the extra mile for her clients is second to none and unflagging. It doesn't matter the time of day or if it's a holiday, Tracy and her team are by your side from search or listing prep to closing (and post-closing if needed!). It doesn't matter how thorny and unusual the issue, Tracy is running it to ground. She digs and investigates until all T's are crossed and I's dotted. Which brings me to point two. With Tracy, the client's interest comes first. This may sound obvious, but it's not. Tracy actually doesn't care about closing the deal if it's the wrong deal for her client. When Tracy uncovered a very unusual undisclosed and potentially uncurable diligence issue on a property I was under contingent contract for, she counseled walking away, which of course meant walking away from her commission. That kind of integrity and lack of self-interest is unusual in this business. This is why she has such a huge loyal and grateful group of clients. Her primary concern is the long-term happiness and satisfaction of her clients. Finally, point number three. You won't find anyone more knowledgeable in this industry. Tracy has literally seen it and done it all. Nothing will get by her and she knows everything there is to know about how to maximize value. Buying and selling your home is often the biggest financial decision of your life. You can rest easy knowing you did the absolute best possible deal you could with Tracy in your corner. Tracy's a hard worker and even more genuinely caring person. I'm a Tracy client for life!! read more

Tracy performs miracles when it comes to real estate! My husband and I have worked with Tracy for numerous years and each and every time we present her with these complicated real distaste scenarios and she makes it all happen! She has bought and sold several of our estates in San Francisco, Marin and St. Helena. Tracy is not only an outstanding real estate agent with a stellar team, she is a kind, honest and straightforward woman who we trust implicitly. read more

Tracy McLaughlin, the woman who was born and, I believe, continues to live in "a little town called Ross," was the representative I had hoped she would be--and more. Yes, it may be that she presents any offer that may be made at the asking price or even under--but she is duty-bound to do that, I would suggest. If the seller chooses to sell at a lower price, that is her/his choice. Having respect for the standards of an agent is important to me; Tracy earned (and continues to earn) that honor. She is a lady, in every beautiful sense of the word. Her office staff respects her, likes her. So do I. Not only do she and the people in her office respond immediately and produce good results when they are possible, efficient service also continues beyond the sale date. If there is a next time for me, the sale will be through Tracy McLaughlin and her staff; no doubt about it. You may trust the favorable statistics about Tracy McLaughlin are valid ones. If your association is long enough, you will see her qualities rise above those words of praise. read more

Tracy did a fantastic job selling my home. She knows the market inside out. She has an incredible vision for what a house can be - and a staging team to bring that vision to life. She's passionate about what she does and genuinely cares about her clients. Highly recommend. read more

I was looking at property in Mill Valley. I am an experienced real estate investor and developer but unfamiliar with Mill Valley real estate market. Thankfully I found Tracy and her agency. Her group were the most informed agency I have worked with around the US. They were able to not only provide comps for valuation but had great insight into understanding the nuances in the market. They answered every question I had and provided great guidance through their experience. Tracy was always available by phone and email. For sure the best service in any transaction I have contemplated. Highly recommend her if you want a straight honest answer and a market expert. read more

Highly recommended and here's why: Tracy recently helped me sell my home in Marin County. It was not an easy house to sell because it had a rather non-traditional layout. But after talking to a few agents, I decided to work with Tracy because of her impressive number of transactions, list-to-sale price records and her highly experienced team. I was initially concerned that a top agent would overlook my house but all worries were put to rest once I observed how much resources she allocates to my property and the amount of time she and her team devotes to making sure we closed the deal. Tracy suggested a few improvements to the house while making it abundantly clear that these were meant to increase my return on investment are were really up to me. The staging and photographs were done very professionally. She works with a great designer that creates an impressive style within a very reasonable budget. I certainly got my return on investment. I have bought and sold homes several times over the years and I know it can be overwhelming and even emotional sometimes. But bottom line is: if you need a hug and someone to hold your hands and tell you how amazing your home and furniture are, there are plenty of agents in Marin for you to choose from. But if you just want the best of the best with laser-focused eyes that will give you optimal return on your investment, call Tracy. read more

I can not recommend Tracy McLaughlin. Being a "top" selling agent does not mean that an individual is serving your best interest. They don't have the time as they are representing too many people at once. As exhibited in Tracy's case where she promised us before we signed with her that she was very hands on, but we mostly dealt with her two person staff. She talked about marketing parties and yoga instructor sessions down by the pool. She made lots of promises but they were just words. She held one open house where she had food and told us if we didn't sell our house in the first 10 days it wasn't going to sell. We forced her to do two more open houses and she complained that she had to do them for other clients and couldn't do another for us. Finally she sent an assistant to one and a friend who is an agent to another. We found out later that she is known for pricing property low so she can move them fast. This is to her interest not yours. She has very little people skills and actually yelled at my husband and I during the final negotiations for the sale of our house. She screamed that we were"lucky" to be offered the price we got. She intimidates the seller to take an offer. ...So being the top agent doesn't mean she gets you top dollar. She makes more money if she churns and burns. read more
