“I live out of state; Linda was amazing at providing the expertise and dedication, without me having to be in town to manage the process. My home sold quickly, and negotiations were handled professionally. Linda was responsive to my calls and concerns and worked with me to insure I was satisfied and my goals were met." DAVID L.
“The Reece Nichols website was excellent for seeing a LOT of pertinent info regarding the sale." SEAN and JACQUELYN M.

Tracy's knowledge of the market, comparative homes, and caveats for buyers was invaluable to us. We had a wonderful experience with Tracy and are very happy with our home! She made the search process, the negotiation period, and the closing as stress-free and easy as possible. I highly recommend utilizing her knowledge and skills in your own home search!" ALLISON M. 8
