Tracey Henkels attributes her disciplined nature and relentless work ethic to a childhood spent rising and retiring by the light of the sun on her family’s apple orchard in Iowa. Gratefully, that Midwestern mentality has served her well over the years as Tracey continues to deliver excellent customer service, superior technical skill, and a wide array of industry knowledge on behalf of her clients.

While Tracey wouldn’t trade her career as a Real Estate broker for any other, her first love was Architecture. After receiving her degree at Iowa State University, Tracey worked in the architecture world for over 6 years before deciding she wanted to forge a new professional path.

In 2004, Tracey jumped heart-first into the world of helping her people buy and sell houses. She’s never looked back.

When you meet Tracey, one of the first things you notice is her positive energy, and zest for life. One of her favorite things about being a broker is the ability to help people make powerful transitions. Tracey’s natural patience, unwavering professionalism, and optimistic attitude make her both a compassionate broker and tough negotiator.

Tracey is committed to serving others, making a difference in her community, and giving back. When she isn’t working hard to best serve her clients, you might find her tending to her garden, growing fresh vegetables and beautiful flowers, cross country skiing, or planning her next exciting adventure.

Tracey's Testimonials

Tracey is a passionate, committed and extremely knowledgeable REALTOR®. My husband and I had a blast working with her to find our perfect home. We were greatly impressed by her extensive knowledge of green building materials and sustainable practices which enabled her to deeply analyze each home we looked at. We felt confident throughout the process that she was always considering our needs and desires and guiding us toward a purchase that made sense: environmentally, financially and practically. Tracey could always be reached promptly for any kind of question and continued to support us long after the date of sale.  She continued to be involved with our process of setting up our new home in all kinds of ways from giving us locally made, environmentally friendly detergents and tips on making the house more energy efficient, to helping us to find and get in touch with the best contractors and repair people in town to continue to improve our home. We could not recommend Tracey more highly as a REALTOR® who works from a place of deep integrity and commitment to her clients and community.
