Tracey showed her expertise and her warmth from the moment we first met with her. Personal considerations were causing us some concern, but Tracey asked us questions that clarified our needs, and provided us assurance and comfort that she had the skills and sensitivity to deliver strong results. The outcome - high showing traffic, a clean offer on Day 2 of the listing, and rapid closing at an excellent price - speak for themselves. I recommend Tracey without any hesitation.

Tracey Barrett provided service leading to the successful sale of my father's house, which he and our family lived in for 53 years. She provided key insights on the condition of the home and what repairs would prove helpful in marketing it to buyers. She also knew the prospective market buyers very well and what kind of buyer would be most interested in bidding. Her analysis proved correct as we evaluated, with her help, the best offer among several generated from her marketing efforts. I would certainly recommend Tracey for any home sale in the Northern Virginia area.

In late July 2021 my husband and I talked about downsizing early, before retiring or moving out of the area, to best take advantage of the hot housing market. We reached out to Tracey Barrett to discuss the possibility of selling, what the current market value of our home was, and what we would need to update/repair to make our home offering competitive. We chose Tracey knowing her reputation to be professional, informed and candid. We were initially reluctant to consider listing the house, expecting we would need to invest a lot to bring our 26-year-old home up to date. We also wrestled with the possibility of deciding to sell our home aEURoeas-isaEUR?, but with a lower initial listing price. Tracey offered thoughtful, expert advice on what to focus on regarding fixing and updating, as well as reassuring us what was not needed. We were pleasantly surprised at the affordability of the projects. She gave us the names of contractors with great reputations who did an amazing job updating our kitchen cabinets and countertops, resurfacing the deck, painting, and other minor repairs. Tracey, Ingrid, Lynn and her team worked tirelessly to help us with every detail from paint colors to light fixtures to staging our home to look its best. They were responsive and answered our many texts and calls quickly. Tracey even offered empathy and encouragement during the downsizing process while we purged 20+ years of aEURoestuffaEUR? from our home. Traceys thorough market research on comparable properties and amenities was exemplary. She put together a strategic marketing plan and a listing price that we were very comfortable with. We truly felt like our hands were being held through the entire process. With Traceys expertise, we were able to put our house on the market only 6 weeks after we decided to sell. Within 48 hours we had multiple offers that were significantly above the asking price. Tracey was meticulous in every detail from the moment we discussed selling to the final closing. Our experience with selling our home was perfect. We would highly recommend Tracey Barrett and the Focus on NoVA team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

In the Fall of 2020 we were faced with selling our family home after the death of our father. One of his wishes before he died was to use Tracey Barrett to sell his home after his death. We contacted Tracey and could not be more pleased with the level of service she provided. She did a market analysis to determine what improvements we could make to increase our bottom line. All of which, btw, were definitely worth it. The comparable analysis, incredible advertising, follow-up with contractors, dealing with the settlement company, and continued reassurance we were in good hands made the whole process stress free. We definitely recommend Tracey.... we never like we were just another listing.

We found Tracey Barrett in an online article listing the best real estate agents in the DC area. She truly exceeded our expectations when she helped us list, market, and sell our house in 2020 in a record time and still achieve a fantastic sales price which is substantially higher than the listing price. She gave us great advice on how to renovate our house at the least expense and yet bring the highest return on investment. It was very reassuring that Tracey always responded to our emails and text messages within the hour and quite often within 15 minutes. It shows she was very caring and on top of every issue concerning the renovation project and the listing process. Moreover, she always followed up on all issues and brought them to a satisfactory conclusion. The result is that we never had to worry about any loose ends that may make keep us awake at night. From our experience, we must say that Tracey is a very professional and very knowledgeable real estate agent that will provide excellent services to any homeowner. I firmly believe you will greatly enjoy working with her if you need to buy or sell your house.
