A big Congratulations to our buyer Ben Bogard, he bought a super cute house in SE! Also this is a great opportunity to introduce my team member, Jasmine Deatherage!!

Ben and Jasmine are good buddies and recently she invited him to work with us! Ben was interested in a great house in SE for he and his young son to call home. He really liked the idea of finding a diamond in the rough; something with good bones that needed some TLC and lucky for us, Ben was a very researched and savvy buyer. We were able to find him a sweet, move in ready home for the right price. I’m looking forward to seeing what he does with it over the years!

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.
