All the Single Ladies, All the Single Ladies

By Tracey Henkels, July 9, 2020

Put your hands up for Jess!

She just bought the perfect townhouse in NE Portland for her and her dog Luigi.



Let’s take a minute to celebrate being single! There is so much strength in creating and appreciating your own space, and Jess is over the moon in this townhouse!

This year I have helped a lot of single ladies buy homes, condos, and townhouses.  It’s inspiring to see the commitment they have to themselves and creating their best life.

 I love helping all people buy homes and this feeling has amplified in the pandemic. So many people are realizing just how important their home is in relation to working from home, quarantining, homeschooling, etc.. 

It was an honor to help Jess and her dog Luigi buy a spacious townhouse with a huge garage for not only the car but a motorcycle and a home gym. May their new home be a foundation for love and contentment!

She/Her

Tracey grew up rooted in the rhythms of her family’s Iowa apple orchard, where rising with the sun instilled a deep work ethic and a grounded, thoughtful approach to life. That Midwestern foundation shapes the values that Tracey brings to her clients: compassionate guidance, perseverance and a commitment to making a difference for the people she serves.

With a degree in Architecture from Iowa State University and six years of experience in the architecture field, Tracey has a keen eye for design and a deep understanding of how homes are built—literally and metaphorically. In 2004, she transitioned into real estate, combining her technical expertise with a passion for helping people find a sense of sanctuary and belonging.

Tracey is known for her integrity, patience, and optimism, making her a trusted advisor and advocate for our clients. She thrives on helping people navigate important transitions, whether buying their first home, selling a cherished property or finding the perfect place to put down long-term roots.

Tracey is deeply connected to her community and is passionate about making a meaningful impact beyond real estate. She’s been a resident of the Hosford-Abernethy neighborhood in SE Portland since 2002; you’ll often find her in her garden nurturing vegetables and flowers, hosting neighbors and friends, exploring Oregon’s great outdoors, or planning her next travel adventure. Through every step of her clients’ journeys, Tracey embodies the grounded guidance and thoughtful care that define Rooted Realty.
