About Me
A North Carolina native, my family has had a home in Blowing Rock since 1970. Quite simply, it's my favorite place to be, and where I've always felt most at home, no matter how far I've ventured.
After the University of South Carolina, I moved to New York City, working in Institutional Marketing for one of the oldest investment firms in the city. In 1999, while living in London with my English husband, I helped launch the international art fair, Art London. Ten years on, with two young children and two golden retrievers in tow, we moved to Toronto, where I worked as a marketing consultant for an international food broker.
A top producing, multi-million dollar agent and proud member of Leading Real Estate Companies of the World® & Luxury Portfolio International®, my experience allows me to understand the market, and advise clients when buying or selling one of their largest investments.

Traci went above and beyond for us in every step of finding, inspecting, and purchasing our townhouse. We will definitely use Traci for any future real estate needs we have in the future.
Courtney N
Traci was a great realtor in our quest for a second home in Boone. She went above and beyond in helping us navigate trying to find a home from out of town. From giving us FaceTime tours to researching issues with potential homes, Traci was diligent and really understood what we were looking for and kept at it for months! We ended up with the perfect house and that was definitely Traci's doing! Thanks for being such a great partner!
Jason Krieg
I'll keep it short and sweet. I've purchased quite a few homes over the years and Traci is BY FAR the best realtor I've ever worked with, HANDS DOWN. Just a great person and someone you can trust. Traci will have my business as long as she is in the business. If you need a realtor in the High Country, call everyone else first, then call Traci. You'll see what I mean. Thanks for all your help, Traci.

Traci is a true asset to her profession, Allen Tate, and the community she serves. Our interaction with her has been nothing but exemplary. She is very knowledgeable in her field and has gone above and beyond in addressing our questions and concerns. I highly recommend Traci for your future real estate needs.
Carol Lawrence
Traci was recommended to me by a friend who valued her knowledge and professionalism. She definitely has those qualities in addition to a pleasant demeanor and great sense of humor. She’s fun to spend time with which is a great bonus when you’re on an important mission together. Traci communicates well and she listens even better. I highly recommend her as a realtor.

We have had the pleasure of working with Traci this summer while shopping for a home in Boone area. I had been a part of dozens of real estate transactions and worked with dozens of agent and none were ever as diligent, as helpful or as accommodating as Traci! We could not have done it without her. Thank you for everything:)

Wow - Traci and I met on a Monday and on Wednesday I had the high mountain cabin of my dreams. Traci listened to my desires and focused on them and here I am. Happy and grateful for her professionalism, knowledge of the area and her wonderful personality. We will be friends 💜 going forward. Thank you Traci. Couldn't ask for anything more. I would very highly recommend her if you are buying or selling.
E Vestal
When buying your first home, there’s a lot of anxiety surrounding your decision, finances, etc. Traci helped keep us calm, helped us put things in perspective, and found us an amazing deal on a house that we will be happy in for a very long time! I couldn’t recommend her enough, and we are so incredibly grateful for her help. Thanks, Traci!
Madi Simpson
Traci was extremely helpful and insightful through the entire experience, often going over and above expectations to make sure everything was settled. She would often offer us advice and tips to help us through the process. She was very communicative and easy to get in touch with. I would absolutely recommend her to my friends who I would want to be properly assisted through the home-buying process! She’s awesome!

Andrew Contafio
I recommend using Traci as an agent in purchasing property in the mountains. She is very knowledgeable and exhibited professionalism and understanding throughout the entire process.
Russell Patterson
We entered the market to find a investment property that our family could enjoy on occasions. Traci was straight forward and honest about the state of the real estate market and what to expect. She worked tirelessly in helping us to navigate the market, and find the perfect fit for us. I would not hesitate to use her as our agent again.
Mark T. Wright AIA, Ph.D.
I am an architect and developer and work in the industry. More times than not, it seems over the last few years, there is a lack of knowledge and dedication to perform above mediocrity. With Traci this is was not the case! -- she represents the best of her profession and the best of 'people' in general. I am a complete pain in the a** with real estate and she was more than patient with my eccentricities and her knowledge helped me to make educated decisions on an investment. As long as she will work with me, there is no other realtor in my book. I will recommend her to all persons looking for a realtor.
Traci went above and beyond for us in every step of finding, inspecting, and purchasing our townhouse. We will definitely use Traci for any future real estate needs we have in the future.
