I created The Craft Team in 2015 after establishing myself as a top producing realtor in the greater Houston area and achieving the level of broker. I saw an unaddressed need in the real estate community for a collegial team that would be client focused operating less like a hierarchy and more like a supportive unit. When you hire The Craft Team, you get an entire group of agents behind you, not just one. A well-crafted unit that allows for maximum responsiveness and the highest level of service. We work tirelessly to provide gold star service and meet clients’ needs before they are even aware they have a need.

Our team uses every tool at our disposal to help you market your home and find a new one. Today, social media and the internet are crucial tools for both, and we use cutting edge technology to give our clients an edge over others. While technology is the wave of the future, it does not eliminate good old-fashioned sales techniques such as open houses, print ads, and outreach. We do whatever is necessary to meet our clients’ needs starting with a thorough intake evaluation to identify exactly what those needs are. Sometimes it just takes the right questions to come up with amazing answers to give you the best experience.

As a native Houstonian, I’m familiar with the area and am proud to call this city home for me and my family. I enjoy the high energy atmosphere of residential real estate and love working with people of many different backgrounds. One thing is for certain, I take very seriously the responsibility of being part of my clients’ lives during one of the most important decisions they’ll ever make – buying or selling their home. You can rest assured that I will be by your side throughout the entire process and make every effort to streamline what can sometimes be a complicated process into a simpler, pleasant experience.

Give me a call today and let’s get started!

Tracey knows that buying or selling a home is one of the biggest decisions that most people will ever make and that the people inside the home are what matter most. She has represented both buyers and sellers throughout her ten years of experience and is committed to providing excellent service no matter what side of the transaction you are on. Tracey is a member of the Houston Association of Realtors. She enjoys traveling, volunteer work, outdoor activities, and spending time with friends and family.

Buying

Our team represents both buyers and sellers. However, buyer’s agents require a special skill set that set our agents apart from the rest.

In general, a buyer’s agent will guide the buyer in navigating the sometimes choppy seas of real estate through locating active listings and being on the look out for those coming. Since our buyers agents have a combined experience of over 40 years, they have well established connections in the marketplace and often know about listings before most agents even those in larger firms. As your representative, our agents have a fiduciary duty to place your needs above and beyond those of anyone else in the transaction … including their own.

While any agent CAN act as an intermediary for both sides, they probably should think very carefully about that. Intermediary basically means that agent cannot give advise nor opinion to either side … they simply push paper. It is one of the reasons I created a team – no agent on our team acts as an intermediary in a single transaction unless you the client insist upon it. You should never have to sacrifice that right to representation.

We see the job of the buyers agent as helping you find the best possible home to meet your needs at the best possible price, to then negotiate repairs, and alert you to any known issues with the home or the neighborhood. Our agents are required to be consistently educating themselves about local developments so they can best serve our clients. And while you may be just fine with a high speed railroad going in behind your home, you should have that information so you can make an informed decision. Our buyers agents work for YOU.

Selling

While I am predominantly the listing agent within the team, our agents are also gifted listing agents with a strong history of sales experience.

Our team has consistently been a top producer in Harris County since 2015 because we pour our energy and expertise into getting your home SOLD to meet your needs. We listen to what you have to say, what is important to you, and what your ultimate goals are. This can radically effect how a home is priced and how it is marketed. When it comes to listing properties, we set ourselves apart not just through state of the art marketing strategies, but also by helping our clients position their home for maximum return through smart pricing strategies, implementing potential updates, and staging – be that actual physical staging or high end virtual staging. We provide sophisticated photography and video along with options such as Matterport camera use where appropriate and virtually created floor plans.

We use a variety of marketing techniques including the use of open houses and good old fashioned networking. And that’s just where it STARTS! Once we find a buyer for your home, we are experts at negotiating the deal and working through repair requests. There are a number of issues that can come up as the sale heads to the closing table, and we will be on top of every detail, so while you will be aware of each step in the process, you can leave the worrying to us. Five star service means you sleep easy knowing you’re in great hands.
