Ah, where to begin other than this is your gal if you are looking for a dependable, on the ball, superb with communication and very knowledgeable agent. My family and I just relocated to the Austin from, you guessed it, California, and started this process back in late February. Tracey had her work cut out for her because we had a pretty specific checklist and neighborhoods that we were interested in… Let me back up, when I first started I knew nothing about the Austin area and from the very start she took her time to show me around, and shared her extensive knowledge about all the different pockets surrounding Austin. In spite of being in another state during this process, she made it as painless as it could have been, and even skyped listings she previewed for us. She even saved us from buying a money pit which turned up all sorts of problems during the inspection and as per her advice, we backed out of the deal. At the time we were devastated, but as she kept reminding us, everything happens out for a reason. We know this was absolutely the right decision and we are so thankful for her willingness to give us her honest opinion which didn’t make her job any easier. I should also mention that we knew nothing about propane and septic systems so she guided us through all of that fun stuff, too. Tracey Guttes is an A+++ agent.
Tracey is THE ONE you want to be your agent. She is patient, positive, honest and sharp. As first time home buyers she encouraged us to look at as many houses as we could to get a feel for areas and what we liked/disliked. We saw a lot, and I never felt pressure from her to hurry up. She genuinely cared that we took our time and really got out there to see the market. She is so poised and gracious, we trusted her insight on all the properties. She guided us through the process and paperwork taking all of the anxiety and stress out of it. If you are looking for an organized, responsive, smart agent- Tracey is it!
After we decided to move to Texas from California, we needed a realtor we could rely on to understand our family’s needs and help us navigate a new area from a distance. We first met Tracey when visiting Austin and requested to see a home she was listing. She was immediately responsive and scheduled a showing around our scheduled while we were in town. While the house was not for us, we were so impressed by Tracey’s responsiveness, knowledge, and understanding of our circumstances that we asked her if she could be our realtor for our purchase. It was truly the best decision we ever could have made in this process, which took several months and had countless roadblocks along the way (such as our California home taking longer to sell than expected, inspection issues on the first house we made an offer on, etc.) She navigated each and every bump with poise and was instrumental in helping us keep our nerves and emotions in check through what turned out to be a much more challenging process than we ever imagined. At every step of the way, Tracey gave us her honest opinion, and never once tried to push us in any direction or try to “sell” us on a house. She truly understood our needs and made sure they were all met. We ended up in our dream home that we plan to live in for decades raising our three children. Without a doubt, we could not have done this without her, and she has made us into a forever client (and referral source). Seriously, if you are buying or selling a home, and you’re reading this review, you can look no further. Tracey is the best, period.
We were completely pleased with the service that Tracey provided. Tracey did everything she could think of to successfully market our property, even staging it a couple of different ways to get the right traffic. She helped every step of the way with any question we threw at her (and there were plenty!). She even repaired a leaky outside faucet while we were gone that she noticed on a showing, above and beyond the call of duty.
Tracey was a dream to work with! Very knowledgeable of our unique market and new how to negotiate on our behalf. She gave wise counsel throughout the entire process.
Tracey was excellent! She was always quick to respond and find answers for any questions that I had. I would recommend her to anyone in the Austin/ Lakeway area!
Tracey was great! She was very responsive, professional and thoughtful. She provided excellent guidance on multiple aspects of the process including pricing and negotiating. We will use Tracey again if we ever move and highly recommend her.
We bought our house with Tracey and sold it with her a few years later. Both times we were impressed with her knowledge, her communication, and her kindness. She made a huge process feel as easy as possible! We met other agents along the way and none compared to her- Tracey is truly the best!
Tracey is incredible! She helped us acquire our property in 2017 and just recently assisted us in selling. We currently reside out of Texas and she made this process so smooth (and dare I say enjoyable), even out of state. She truly went above and beyond to get our property sold. If you need a realtor in the Austin area she will NOT disappoint! 🙂
I cannot recommend Tracey Guttes highly enough! She has a broad and deep understanding of the local real estate market. She used her relationship with other realtors and builders to share properties that were coming soon to market. She gave me honest and insightful critiques of each property we looked at – and we looked at a lot of houses! She led me through the process with kindness and patience, expertly answering every one of my questions. After over five months of searching she helped me find the perfect home for my family, and then negotiated a final sales price below asking price. I believe it would be impossible to find a better, more qualified agent!
Elizabeth is an absolutely phenomenal realtor. She will make you feel like you are her only client. She’s also SUPER responsive by email/text. Go with her and you won’t regret it!!
Working with Meaghan Marks was a great experience! As a first time home buyer, I was oblivious to the process and she helped every step of the way. I would definitely use her again!
