Tracy and her team guided us through the challenging process of selling a beloved and unique family home of 65 years. Tracy has many years of experience and provides great expertise on strategy and approach to preparing the house for sale in a collaborative manner. She is an encyclopedia on real estate rules and provides excellent guidance on the many steps of compliance to make sure that a transaction will be absolutely solid from the seller’s position. Unique with Tracy is her love of design and appreciation of a home’s style and architecture. Once we agreed together on a plan, Tracy’s team executed the plan and coordinated the many contractors in a very compressed time frame. All along they regularly communicated on the status of the work and kept a detailed budget. When additional work was needed, we were promptly informed of the scope of the work and the costs. Tracy’s stable of contractors did good work and on time. We were truly amazed that the house was ready for showing according to the original calendar plan. Tracy and team also have some great ideas on marketing a home and presenting it to the market in pre-open house gatherings, and at the open houses. They put together a distinctive website and photo presentation of our home. All in all Tracy and her excellent team made a once in a lifetime experience selling a family home a very positive experience.

Tracy Sichterman had, on very short notice, done all the due diligence needed on our new house which allowed us to make a bid in full confidence that we knew what we were buying. She held our hands through all the paperwork-- disclosures, closing - and once we had bought the house put us in touch, through the sellers realtor, with workman who fixed various small problems at no cost to us. She also put us in touch with reliable craftsman to do other more substantial needed work. In addition to be extremely competent she and her team are endlessly friendly and helpful in every [ossible eway.

Tracy has deep knowledge of the East Bay real estate market. She does wonderful property preparation and marketing and I would highly recommend her. I am a professional Fiduciary and I rely on her to handle sales of trust and estate properties.

Our house was in pretty good shape when we interviewed three realtors. One said do nothing. One recommended a couple minor things like escrow flowers. Only Tracy had the vision to see what was missing to make it great, and gave me the confidence that she would take the process, not as a set of boxes to tick, but as a personal mission to achieve a successful outcome. In the end, a very small investment made our house amazing. In fact the buyer commented they specifically fell in love with the house because of the changes she made. Tracy also made the process incredibly comfortable, and respectful of both our budgets and our emotional processes of saying goodbye to a beloved home and also hoping to make good money off it. And her advice every step of the way was spot-on.

We cannot say enough about our amazing experience with Tracy. We knew her agency was incredibly profesional from our experience buying our first home with them 10 years ago, so we were keen to use them to sell our home this year. Bringing a home to market is so complicated and stressful, especially in these tumultuous times, but Tracy led us through every step of the process with skill, patience and the confidence that comes from many years of experience. Additionally, her philosophy is to keep the client at the center, making informed recommendations but always leaving final decisions up to you. She was available at all times for even the smallest questions, and has a wonderfully approachable communication style that my partner and I found very reassuring. Additionally, Tracy has built a very capable team around her, including stagers, contractors, landscapers, and a close network of many other agents whom she can tap for insider knowledge. Ultimately, the offer we received for our home was beyond our highest hopes, and we can say without question that it was down to Tracy’s exceptional skill and experience. We will be forever grateful.

Tracy and Mykah, Saw the huge potential in our parents run-down north Berkeley hills home, and worked with us to revitalize it for a new generation. There judgment (financial and esthetic) was impeccable; they were on budget and on-time, and, yes, joyous throughout. They made it a pleasure and adventure to let go of our childhood home (all four of us), and we did very nicely on the investment as well. I can't say enough wonderful things about this people.

We hired Tracy to sell the family home after my father in law passed away last year. The market was already starting to decline and we knew we had two choices, sell as is or fix the home. We consulted Tracy and she said we would get better offers for the home if we cleaned it up and added design elements to go with the modern architecture of the home. Tracy also called other agents in the region who had recently sold similar homes to get a true feeling for the market at that point. With solid market data in hand combined with utilizing her creative and design talent, the house showed so well, that we received above asking price. Tracy made the process of moving the things out of the house and getting us through escrow seamless. During a time of grief for the family, having Tracy's calm, professional and kind demeanor made the selling of the home one thing we didn't have to worry about. Thank you Tracy for all your hard AND creative work!

Tracy and Mykah helped us bring our childhood home back to life and got us on the market and under contract with amazing expertise. When our mother died, we were left with the task of cleaning out and revitalizing our classic Berkeley childhood home. Tracy and Mykah helped us at every step, finding us the resources we needed and supervising the process from start to finish. They were easy to work with, had an eye for design that matched what we were looking for and were incredibly professional. Couldn’t recommend them more highly.

Tracy and Romney did an exceptional job guiding us through the process of selling our property. They were extremely patient during the clean up and clearing out of the property and offered helpful suggestions; they had excellent vision for ways to upgrade and prepare the home to highlight it’s best features, and came in under budget to do so; their marketing approach was thorough, targeted and sophisticated. During the entire process they communicated with us frequently, were prompt in responding to calls and emails, and in general were reassuring, thoughtful, and knowledgeable.

Tracy made selling my aunties house remotely a complete breeze. She was communicative and attentive when I had questions or worries. The house ended up needed more work than we originally thought but Tracy managed the projects and I was never concerned being so far away. I would trust her completely to sell our house again.

My father had passed away recently and we needed to sell his house in the Berkeley Hills. They were already highly recommended by an associate. Tracy and Linda were able to handle everything from step 1 through to the final closing. They helped organize and oversee the movers, coordinated all the construction work, and made the sale as smooth as possible. The staging and updates were done so well that a very competitive offer came immediately before the house even officially hit the market!

Dear Prospective Buyers and Sellers, Tracy is so wonderful to work with! We have followed her magnificent work for years in the East Bay area, and couldn't be happier with the decision to connect with her for home purchases in Berkeley and Walnut Creek. Not only is she a pleasure to work with, but she is a true professional. She is incredibly knowledgeable and we have alot of respect for her as a closer. In such a trying market, it's easy to get rattled or be overly nervous. When we're with Tracy, we feel at ease because we know that she is on top of everything and pestering the other parties as much as possible to see how we can seal the deal. Even outside of her typical coverage area, we still like to reach out to Tracy and get her thoughts. She's much more than a realtor and we're proud to tell people we use Tracy Sichterman of Berkeley Hills Realty.
