Get to Know Tracy A Southerland - Lake Area Real Estate Concierge
Golden hour … that time of day when the sun begins to set into the horizon over the water and welcomes the end of another day. There is a peace that comes during this time. The only other experience that compares is enjoying your first glimpse of orange as the sun rises to greet you again the next morning. To some, I know that this intro may sound corny, but these small daily experiences mean so much to me. During a time in history that we have an app that reminds us to breathe, I feel like these simple daily luxuries need to be important to all of us.
In my 20s… I relocated from Massachusetts to Hilton Head Island, which is nestled along the banks of South Carolina. It was at this time that I developed my love for the golden hour. In 2004 I began my journey in real estate. As these 20 years have passed, it has become very apparent that we all have similar priorities. We may have different hobbies, different work schedules, different ideas of what family looks like to us; however, at the end of the day we all want to be able to live as peaceful an existence as possible.
My passions have always been traveling, and surrounding myself with great people, amazing food and memorable experiences. Whether it is a steaming cup of coffee at sunrise on Kings Beach, Lake Tahoe or a glass of wine on my friend’s porch during golden hour on Lake Oconee… those are the memories that I cherish the most. No matter where life takes me, real estate is always a focus. I have developed amazing relationships with agents from Hilton Head Island to Lake Tahoe and Rangeley, Maine to Seaside & Key West, Florida. So, I decided that my highest and best use in the industry that I enjoy so much is to help you find the location that speaks to you the most.
My home lake will always be Lake Oconee, GA. This is where I am raising my family. The sense of community surrounding us here is amazing! Plus, we are only a quick ride to the nation’s largest airport, so we can hop a flight to new experiences. I have been emersed in the real estate market here since 2012, so if this is your lake… I am the person to show you all that it has to offer! From the best pancakes at brunch to your golf and lake membership opportunities. When choosing your home, we need to learn what is most important to you and then we can find the home that best compliments those qualities.
As you consider your second home destination, or are looking to relocate full time, give me a call so we can discuss the best fit for you. Let me be your national real estate consultant.
Why Our Clients Love Working With Us...
Tracy was awesome to work with! She listed our old house on a Monday and we had a contract on it that Thursday!!! When we bought our new house she handled everything in a professional manner! Her knowledge of real estate and the Lake Country is second to none!
Tracy: Thanks so much for your hard work in helping us sell our home and purchase a new one. Working with you was such a pleasure. Throughout both transactions, we benefited from your knowledge of the market, lake area, and neighborhoods both in and out of the gates. Your availability was amazing and you made us feel as if we were your only client/priority. We appreciated your no-nonsense, get it done approach in giving us advice, dealing with the other parties, and managing the various vendors. (Your suggestions of vendors to use was great too.) You really made the entire process low/no stress and spending time with you was a joy.
We look forward to our next opportunity to work with you and will continue to enjoy our various opportunities to stay connected with you. If you ever have a client or prospect that would like a recommendation, you may always give them our name/number/email. We would be happy to sing your praises any time.
We recently listed our Lakefront home at Lake Oconee with Tracy. We were very impressed with her handling of everything from the beginning of our process to the end We felt confident in the advice that we received from her as we felt that she was looking out for us. She is in tune with the market, is a very hard worker and is very competent. From listing the home and being available for showings… all the way up to assisting with repair requests and even helping with packing and moving the furniture! This was the best experience that we have ever had with a real estate agent.
Tracy was highly recommended to us by a friend who has lived at Reynolds Lake Oconee for years. We’ve relocated nine times (all over the country) and have worked with many Realtors during all of those moves. Tracy, without a doubt, has surpassed our expectations in every way. Tracy is so friendly and knowledgeable that we immediately felt at ease working with her. She kept us well informed and always had our best interest as her priority. THANK YOU, Tracy for making our Midwest transition to Lake Oconee much easier than we anticipated. Your enthusiasm and dedication to your profession is evident and greatly appreciated!
I am very pleased to offer my highest recommendation for Tracy Southerland. Tracy assisted us in selling our second home on Lake Oconee in 2020. Tracy impressed us as sharp and genuine when we interviewed her, and that certainly turned out to be the case. She helped us arrive at an optimal list price and closed within 30 days. Throughout the process Tracy was proactive, responsive, and very buttoned up. The entire process was smooth, and Tracy stayed in constant communication with us. Best of all, she’s down-to-earth and a joy to work with. I would work with her again in a heartbeat, and would be happy to serve as a reference. You won’t find a better agent in the lake area.
Tracy is not only an amazing realtor but she’s so personable and we love her so much! She’s helped us buy and sell a home and the process was so much easier than we could have imagined! Can’t recommend enough!
