Tracy Benton

Tracy worked tirelessly from the moment we first discussed listing our home all the way through closing day. Even though our house didn’t sell as quickly as we hoped, she stayed positive, persistent, and always ready to try new strategies to get buyers through the door. When things became challenging, Tracy didn’t hesitate to bring in other professionals for fresh, constructive feedback on how to boost curb appeal — and those improvements truly made a difference. We were especially impressed by the videos Tracy created to showcase all the wonderful features of our home. Since we weren’t living in the house during the sale, we often had to drive into town to take care of things. Tracy consistently checked on the property while we were away, frequently stopping by before showings to make sure everything looked perfect. My family and I couldn’t be more pleased with everything Tracy did to help us cross the finish line. All the behind‑the‑scenes work she put in reassured us that we had chosen the right person to guide us through the process. If you want someone who goes above and beyond — even when the road gets tough — Tracy Benton and Community First Realty are an easy choice. She worked her magic for us, and she’ll do the same for you.

Tracy is the agent you want working for you. She not only prepped us and our house for sale she promoted and pushed our house into the limelight. Sold in 8 days for a great price then she helped us find our new home. She was juggling multiple deals, lawyers, agents and us.... Two very vocal and demanding customers. Tracy was ontop of everything! She is super sweet but can be aggressive as a bull shark if she needs to. Her walk thru quick cut video of our home got thousands of views and hit all the highlights. She referred us to movers and repair people, had our backs the whole time and when offers came in that were borderline, she was adamant that we could get more and we did! If you want your house sold call Tracy. If you've hired someone else then fire them and call Tracy. She will work her tail end off for her clients, handles all the minutiae that comes with buying or selling a house and she is always pleasant is cheerful. Do yourself a favor and make your best decision of the year and get Tracy to represent you.

Tracy is very knowledgable about the real estate business and market in the Raleigh area and was very helpful in guiding us through a process that neither my wife or I were familiar. She was always available to answer any questions (and we had a lot of them) and accommodated our time-frame in every way possible (we only had a few days to look for houses in the Cary area). Additionally, Tracy always maintained a positive attitude when any 'bumps' occurred with the process.

From the beginning of selling our historic home, I had high expectations for the selling realtor. They needed to understand the unique nature and the unique type of buyer needed. I also expected them to manage all aspects including evaluations, inspections, estimates, repairs and maintenance while on the market. I also had financial goals, what was needed to recover and even profit from the large investments made in the historic home over the years we owned and maintained it. Tracy stepped up with full understanding of these expectations. She exceeded everything we expected and sold the home very quickly, even with holidays and a generally slow winter season. Highly recommended.

This is the second home that Tracy has sold for us. However, this time was a little different as we no longer lived in North Carolina and the home belonged to our parents who had passed away. Tracy did a wonderful job of stopping by and checking on the house, keeping us updated with all pertinent information and walking us through all of the legal issues that come from a trustee sale. I can honestly say Tracy was a "calm in the storm" for us. If we ever moved back to North Carolina, Tracy will definitely be our go to Agent.

Selling this property came with a lot of unexpected challenges, and the closing process was far from easy. Despite that, she handled every obstacle as it came up—professionally, calmly, and effectively. There were many moving parts, and she consistently found solutions that kept everything moving forward. She also showed exceptional composure and professionalism when dealing with a very difficult co-owner situation, never losing focus on the end goal. Thanks to her persistence, attention to detail, and steady guidance, we successfully made it to closing. I’m very grateful for her hard work and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor who can handle even the toughest situations.
