“I had the pleasure of working with Tracy Thomas on the acquisition of my latest group of homes—eight properties involving negotiations with 21 different sellers—and I can say without hesitation that she was exceptional from start to finish. Tracy navigated a complex transaction with confidence, precision, and a level of professionalism that is hard to find. Her ability to manage multiple parties, keep everyone aligned, and still drive the deal forward without losing momentum was impressive. What sets Tracy apart is her trustworthiness and transparency. She is upfront, communicates clearly, and anticipates challenges before they ever become problems. In an industry where details matter and timing is everything, she stays one step ahead. Simply put—phenomenal individual, outstanding realtor, and someone you absolutely want in your corner when the stakes are high.”

Negotiations still favor sellers, as roughly 21% of recent sales closed above asking and the average sale-to-list ratio sits near 0.91 in this seller's market.

Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.

“Melissa is an excellent realtor! This was our first time selling a home along while having to move out of state in the middle of the process, but Melissa was there for us every step of the way. Her professionalism, knowledge, and experience eased our concerns and secured us a full price offer!”
“Agent Pronto got me in touch with Patricia Halley Conaghan. She is, hands down, one of the best real estate agents around. I am in Oregon so it was long distance relationship. The property was no where ready to sell when I first listed. Many e-mails, phone calls, texts, and photos later we were able to get this property ready to sell. She lined up contractors and oversaw the work. It did not take long to sell with some creative financing. I couldn't be happier than I am with Patricia's work and support. She is AWESOME!!”
“Melanie Cook was very responsive and also answer any questions you may ask..She will walk you through every step of the way”
“Very easy to use. The agent selected was Anna Dunn. She was perfect. She was helpful and helped me the entire way.”
“Selecting our realtor, Mr. Joseph Dupard, through Agent Pronto was a blessing. I needed to list some estate property and being out of state made this difficult....Mr. Joseph Dupard was the best decision. Mr. Dupard is very knowledgeable about the area, professional, prompt, provided information to help me make the best decisions, explained information in layman's terms, and was assessable. I highly recommend him because he cares about his clients and their needs. ”
“Jen Burns was the only realtor that reached out to me. She was great to work with. We inherited this house and live out of state. Jen was so helpful and patient with all of our questions. She always answered her phone or texted right back. We highly recommend Jen Burns. She made the process so easy!”
“Gina was very helpful throughout the process of preparing and selling my home. She provided honest and constructive advice and feedback with a great eye for detail. Her experience and knowledge of the current market was very helpful in pricing and negotiating during the initial phases and during offer negotiations. Even during the unknown expectations of the COVID 19 pandemic, Gina was very reassuring yet realistic. I would recommend Gina as a reliable, responsive agent.”
“Scott Delhom took great care of us both with the sale of our old home & the purchase of our new home. Our experience with Scott was so wonderful that I referred my parents to him & he helped them find a new home also. I would highly recommend Scott Delhom for all of anyone’s realtor needs.”
