Fantastic experience: Kathy and Graham were absolute gems when I was consulted about homes in Reston. If it wasn’t for me, they said so. They weren’t trying to fit a square peg in a round hole and I loved their perspective on things happening in town. I’m now a regular listener on their podcast!
Thank you for your kind words David and for following us along on Social Media. When it comes to homes in Reston there is a place for everyone and Graham and I are happy to help others find their place too.
Fantastic experience: As a mother, I completely appreciated Kathy’s guidance and support for my son and finding his condo in Arlington. Couldn’t have done it without her!
Fantastic experience: We had an excellent experience working with Kathy She helped us find a good home under a very tight timeline and made the entire process as smooth and stress-free as possible. She was always responsive, kind, and prompt, keeping us informed every step of the way. Even after we moved into our home, Kathy continued to go above and beyond by helping us with home-related questions and issues as they came up. She also communicated with us and all the other parties involved, making everything much easier to manage. Her professionalism, dedication, and genuine care made a huge difference, and we couldn't have asked for a better realtor. We highly recommend Kathy to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!
Fantastic experience: My husband and I were searching for our forever home while also preparing to sell our condo in Herndon, Virginia, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better team than Kathy and Graham. I’d been following Kathy on Instagram for quite a while, and her love for the Herndon and Reston communities is contagious. Seeing her highlight local businesses, events, and all the exciting growth in the area made us fall even more in love with where we wanted to put down roots. While Kathy and Graham serve clients all across Northern Virginia, having someone who truly knows the Reston and Herndon area inside and out was invaluable. Their local knowledge gave us so much confidence, from understanding neighborhoods and market trends to helping us find the right fit for our lifestyle. Throughout the home-buying process, Kathy was incredible. She got to know us so well that we completely trusted her to tour homes on our behalf when we couldn’t make it ourselves. She understood exactly what we were looking for…even before we did sometimes! Thanks to her, we found our dream home in Franklin Farm. Selling our condo was the part we were most nervous about, but Kathy and Graham made the entire process feel manageable. Kathy put together an amazing listing video that generated a ton of interest and engagement online, and we received an offer much faster than the average home in our neighborhood. More importantly, they helped ease our anxiety throughout the process. They were always available to answer questions, kept us informed every step of the way, and made what could have been a stressful experience feel exciting instead. Graham was equally amazing. He kept us organized through what felt like a million moving pieces, handled the paperwork with ease, and made sure we always understood what was happening next. Together, they make an outstanding team. One thing that really sets them apart is their network. From lenders to contractors and everyone in between, every recommendation they made was fantastic and made the entire process so much smoother. Buying and selling a home can be incredibly stressful, but Kathy and Graham made us feel supported every step of the way. Now that we’re settled into our new home, we honestly miss getting their calls and updates. They became so much more than our realtors, they felt like trusted friends. We can’t recommend them highly enough!
Fantastic experience: Kathy's an incredible realtor to work with. She helped me find a condo in Tyson's/McLean, making the process seamless and easy to understand as a first time homebuyer. I plan on working with Kathy again in the future and would definitely recommend her to anyone new to Northern VA or longtime residents looking to move around the area.
Fantastic experience: My wife and I recently worked with Kathy to purchase a single-family home in the Franklin Farm neighborhood of Herndon. What I really liked about her style was that she is super friendly, always available to answer any question and very knowledgeable of Herndon, Reston and the surrounding areas of Northern Virginia. When touring homes, she allowed us to form our own opinion, but also shared helpful feedback from her deep experience selling and buying homes. As someone who has a ton of questions when making big decisions, she was really on top of sharing information in a timely manner and guiding us through both the process of buying a home and selling our existing home, which was seamless thanks to her and the Greater Reston Living team. Kathy went above and beyond, and we'd recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat. Thank you, Kathy!
Fantastic experience: Kathy helped us with our purchase of a single-family home in Herndon as first-time home buyers and made it such an easy and straightforward process! We were initially overwhelmed with the different properties in the area, but she guided us in narrowing down areas, school districts, understanding HOAs etc. We are so thankful to have had her as our realtor! Our very first house offer got accepted in no less than 3 days. We are so thankful for her expertise. Look no further, she's the one!
Fantastic experience: We worked with Kathy to buy a townhouse in Reston. She was a dream to work with, picking up the phone whenever I called and helping navigate a very tough sale. Would 1000% recommend Kathy to all my family and friends!
Fantastic experience: Working with Kathy was an outstanding experience from start to finish. I was posted overseas while searching for a home in Reston, Virginia, and she made what could have been a stressful process feel seamless and enjoyable. I first discovered Kathy through her Instagram account, Greater Reston Living, and it immediately stood out because of her genuine passion for the community. As someone who was completely new to the area, I was looking for a realtor with deep local knowledge and enthusiasm for the neighborhoods, amenities, and lifestyle—and Kathy exceeded every expectation. Her expertise in the Reston area was invaluable. She took the time to understand my specific needs, priorities, and budget, and consistently presented options that were a great fit. Because I was overseas, I relied heavily on virtual tours, and Kathy went above and beyond to make me feel as though I was there in person. She was thorough, honest, and incredibly attentive, pointing out details I would have otherwise missed. Kathy was proactive throughout the entire process, keeping me informed, anticipating potential issues, and moving quickly whenever an opportunity arose. She was always professional, responsive, and organized, yet also genuinely fun to work with. Her positive attitude and sense of humor made a potentially complicated long-distance home search much easier and far more enjoyable. Thanks to Kathy’s dedication, expertise, and commitment, I found a home that was exactly right for me. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home in the Reston area, especially if you’re relocating from out of town or overseas. You won’t find a more knowledgeable, hardworking, and personable realtor.
Fantastic experience: I first met Kathy because of her IG and Reston reels, which is where I wanted to find my new home. Kathy never once gave up on me and my pickiness and explained everything I needed and helped me so much as I navigated the buying process!
Fantastic experience: Kathy from GreaterRestonLiving has been a fantastic realtor for us , we started following her on social media and one of her posts caught our eye. We met up and connected right away. She is professional, detailed , spunky , very knowledgeable about our area. She made time for us within 20 min of us having driven by a house we wanted to look further at. We highly recommend Kathy Tracy and her realtor team.
Fantastic experience: We worked with Kathy to buy our first single family house in Herndon! She’s very knowledgeable and helped to guide us every step of the way in the buying process. I’ve learned a lot from her and would recommend her to anyone that’s looking for a real estate agent!
Fantastic experience: Kathy was the best agent that I could’ve hoped for. My wife and I bought a single family house in Herndon and during the process, she has guided us thru all steps in detail, and took care of us. As a first time homebuyer, there’s a lot of uncertainty and unknowns, but she is very knowledgeable and taught us well. If I were to do it again I would work with Kathy again for the best services.
Fantastic experience: Kathy isn’t just a realtor, she will become a friend. She made my wife’s and my home buying journey so special in so many ways. She has an amazing ability to understand her clients and adjust to their needs. We knew the type of home we wanted, and in just 14 days she found it, connected us with a great local lender, guided us through the process, and handed us the keys to our dream home. She even saved us around $30,000 by advising us on the right offer. Kathy and her husband work as a great team and clearly know the business. But what really stood out was how much she cared. It felt like working with family because she was just as invested as we were. On top of all that, the whole process was fun. Touring houses and taking pictures with her turned what could have been stressful into something we deeply enjoyed.
Fantastic experience: Graham was our realtor for the sale of our Reston condo. He was fantastic! I can't say enough wonderful things! Our sale ended up being a little complicated, and Graham went above and beyond advocating for us during the sale! He was so communicative and checked in regularly with us. Kathy was wonderful too! I can't recommend these two enough. We moved out of state so we will miss Reston. It's a great place to live so if you're thinking about moving to Reston, and want to buy, definitely contact Graham and Kathy! They know Reston real estate and really support their clients. They also gave us a sweet gift after our condo sold, and it's now in the living room in our new house. Highly recommend Graham and Kathy!!!
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, Kristin. It was a pleasure working with you guys on your Reston condo sale, and I’m glad we could navigate the complexities together. Kathy and I both appreciate your kind words—it means a lot to know the little closing gift has found a place in your new home. Wishing you all the best in your next chapter.
Fantastic experience: Kathy was super helpful in the home buying process, as this was the first time for my husband and I. She set a meeting just to go over the entire home buying process and even ask questions to a lender. We had a short turn around time to find a home, and she was very responsive when we requested tours, even during the week or next day. She is very communicative, supportive, and fun to work with. This process turned out to be way easier than expected, and I think it’s definitely from all the support from Kathy!
Fantastic experience: Luz was amazing to work with! She made our home-buying journey smooth and stress-free with her knowledge, patience, and professionalism. We always felt informed and supported every step of the way. We’re so grateful for all her help and highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home. – Gilly & Diane
Fantastic experience: Luz was up and beyond during our process to get our new house she is committed with her work, very good communication, so helpful and patient.
Fantastic experience: Kathy is amazing. We sold my condo for more than the comps and more than the asking price. Kathy knew just when to put the condo on the market—we were working around the winter holidays—and I had an offer the day it was listed. Kathy stayed in touch throughout the process. Kathy was fun to work with and always a calming presence. She seemed confident every step of the way, and I always felt like I was in good hands. I couldn’t be more pleased with Kathy’s handling of the sale and would definitely use her again.
Fantastic experience: December 12, 2024 Dear Kathy, Brenda and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your outstanding work helping us to find and purchase our new home in our old neighborhood. As you may know, we moved to Reston because of our experience visiting Lake Anne plaza one summer evening in 1970. The architecture, the siting of the structures, the fountain all created a space that the residents obviously were enjoying. We had two two young children at the time and envisioned our small family joining this community. We lived in the Crescent apartments while our house was being built in the Uplands area. Our children attended the Lake Anne Nursery School, and the tiny Safeway provided additional reasons to visit the plaza. A few years later Gulf Reston asked Brenda and Norman and Rebecca Krasnegor if we would like to use the Heron House art space to display and sell art. Our loud and immediate response was OF COURSE! I employed my rudimentary carpentry skills to fabricate a simple sign installed near the new gallery. Several years later Reverend Embry Rucker organized a group which became the Greater Reston Art Center and Brenda became the first director. GRACE soon became a significant organism in the larger Reston community. In the late 90’s we moved from Reston and over time discovered Florida. But nowhere in Florida did we experience the sense of community we had enjoyed in Reston, so we began to explore the idea of moving back to Reston, but this time to the very plaza we had enjoyed more than fifty years ago. A very close friend of ours in Florida used his contacts in the real estate community to put us in touch with you, and here we are! Your video visits to the options available to us were invaluable in helping us to decide on the perfect unit for us. Your careful attention to the details of the purchase made the operation as smooth as possible. Thank you Brenda and Stuart Belfield
Fantastic experience: Graham and Kathy were awesome to work with when it was time to sell my home. I interviewed many agents, and Graham and Kathy came out on top for their knowledge of the local market and their attention to my needs. Their process of getting my home on market ensure we came in at a great price point, which was reflected in how efficient the home was sold. They were also great at dealing with any of the small issues that can come up. I would easily work with them again!
Your trust meant the world to us! We are so happy to be part of your story and your journey. You did such an amazing job preparing your home. It's one of our favorite clusters in Reston. We can't wait to catch up when you visit, we need your brain for Team Amoebas at Lake Anne Brew House. Wishing you all the happiness in your next steps. It has truly been a pleasure!
Fantastic experience: Kathy and Graham Tracey helped sell my house in September 2021 in Great Falls. Kathy and Graham are fantastic to work with. Because of the wonderful experience I had with them initially I didn’t hesitate to reach out for their help in navigating an issue trying to sell my father’s house out of state. I knew they would help guide me in the right direction in putting me in touch with another helpful realtor. I appreciate all of their hard work and would highly recommend them to anyone for their real estate needs
Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: Kathy helped my husband and I find a beautiful townhouse to rent in the Reston community. She went above and beyond contacting the landlord's agent and scheduling us tours before rentals were available on the market. She was a pleasure to work with and is extremely knowledge about the area. I highly recommend Kathy.
Fantastic experience: Kathy went above and beyond during our recent housing search in Arlington VA!! The market here is wild and I don’t know how we would have navigated it without Kathy’s help. We just moved into our new condo and we are loving it (and so are my plants! So much light!).
Fantastic experience: Kathy helped us find a home in an extraordinarily quick and professional fashion. Highly recommend to anyone looking!
Fantastic experience: We have been living outside the US for over 20 years and were recently asked to move back to the Northeast US for work. I had no contacts and no way of starting a home search until I reached out to Kathy Tracey. I contacted Kathy in a “cold call” and started providing her some information about us and what we wanted to live in. After our initial call, Kathy did the rest, she set us up with a search for the houses we had described and helped us find a loan, Jeremy is also very helpful but that’s another story, and she kept in touch over the next 3 months as we organized our move back to the US. Once we found some potential homes, Kathy took her weekend for a video call walkthrough so we could virtually see, and smell, the homes we had an interest in. When my wife took a snap trip to see some homes in person, Kathy was there again to introduce her to the area and help us to ensure the home we had selected was the right one. Kathy helped us formulate a good, solid offer and helped facilitate the negotiations and she had the best inspectors who came out the next day and provided an excellent overview of the entire inspection which I was able to watch virtually. Finally came moving day and was so welcoming and friendly and took such great care of us to help us get settled quickly and easily into the new surroundings and new home. Kathy and her team were able to relieve much of the stress that comes from relocating and her willingness to listen and help helped us get the perfect home in the perfect place.
Thank you immensely for sharing your experience with us. We are thrilled to have played a role in assisting you with your relocation to the Northeast US. Our utmost priority is to ensure a seamless and stress-free transition for our clients, and we're delighted to hear that Kathy's dedication and expertise resonated with you. At Greater Reston Living, we strive to provide top-notch service, from home searches to negotiations, inspections, and settling in. We're grateful for the opportunity to have helped you find the perfect home in the perfect location. If you ever need further assistance or have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. Welcome back to the US!
Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of working with Luz as my realtor during my recent move from overseas to the area. I cannot express enough how grateful I am for her exceptional assistance throughout the entire process. Luz's ability to communicate fluently in Spanish was a tremendous asset for me. She not only helped me understand the local areas, schools, and communities, but she also made sure I felt comfortable and informed every step of the way. Her dedication to providing personalized service truly stood out. One of the most impressive aspects of working with Luz was her efficiency in finding a home for me. Despite the time constraints I faced due to my military assignment, she managed to locate and secure a suitable property in record time. Her attention to detail and thorough understanding of my requirements were evident in the options she presented. Luz's professionalism and empathy were remarkable. She went above and beyond to ensure that I had a smooth transition and that all my needs were met. Her ability to navigate the complexities of the real estate process with grace and expertise was truly commendable. I highly recommend Luz Blakney as a realtor to anyone in need of outstanding service. Her dedication, knowledge, and genuine care for her clients make her an exceptional professional in her field. I am grateful for her assistance and couldn't be happier with my new home.

Fantastic experience: Kathy Tracey and the team at Greater Reston Living are Rock Stars in my book! In 2020 Kathy helped me find my forever home. After a nearly year-long search, we found the elusive Unicorn, and I couldn’t be happier! Flash-forward to 2023 and I found myself needing to temporarily relocate cross-country on relatively short notice. Kathy and team came to my rescue and helped me secure a reliable tenant to rent and care for my property until I return. Whether you’re looking to own or rent, buy or sell, I would highly recommend Kathy Tracey and the team at Greater Reston Living to help you make your new home dreams a reality.
Thank you so much for your kind review!
Fantastic experience: Thank you, Luz, for helping us get our dream home! We worked with Luz Blakney to purchase our home and couldn’t be happier! Luz's deep understanding of the market was invaluable. She was always available to answer questions and was on top of every detail from the moment we started searching for listings until the day we closed. We called her the day we saw our future home, and Luz scheduled the showing immediately. Luz and her team worked quickly to put an offer in the house, and we had a contract within a couple of days.

Fantastic experience: We couldn’t be happier with Kathy and Graham Tracey of Greater Reston Living at Keller Williams. They sold our house in Great Falls, VA in four days for 11% above asking price. We attribute this amazing accomplishment to the very professional pre-listing marketing of the property combined with their intimate knowledge of the local area market. They have a close working relationship with a videographer and stager who made the property stand out among the competition. (I think folks had made up their mind to bid on the property before ever seeing it in person.) It was also a pleasure working closely with Kathy and Graham as they actively listened to all of our needs and concerns in developing the perfect strategy for preparing and listing the property. Their pleasant personalities and ease of communication made the whole process easy. We highly recommend this outstanding team.
Thank you for your glowing review! We're thrilled to have exceeded your expectations in selling your property in Great Falls, VA.

Fantastic experience: Kathy and Graham were a delight to work within the sale of our home. There were a few things that stood out about them as we moved through the process: their patience, professionalism, and fun upbeat attitude. Selling our home turned into a 2 year process. When our plans changed to moving out of state we felt no pressure to make a quick turn around, and they were always available to answer questions and provide insight into the markets as we re-developed our timeline. Once we decided to list, Kathy and Graham made the process painless, seamless, and fun. We were impressed by the analytical power, strategy development, organization, and follow through they provided from setting the list price to analyzing offers, and finally closing on our sale. Kathy and Graham are a duo that are at the top of their craft and love what they do. It was a joy to work with them.

Fantastic experience: Had a great, personalized experience with Kathy! She was patient as I looked passively for two years until the right home became available and within our price range! Had great recommendations and always looked out for me throughout the very confusing and challenging process of purchasing a new home. I would HIGHLY recommend attending her seminars even if you are just passively looking.

Fantastic experience: Kathy Tracey has been a great help in finding tenants for our Reston condo; she has helped in multiple aspects of the process and with multiple clients. Kathy always responds promptly and has found us quality tenants while taking care of all the details. We have thoroughly enjoyed working with Kathy and recommend her highly. William Steele
Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: Kathy did a great job helping us relocate to our townhouse in Haymarket. My daughter is having a baby in January 2023 and we wanted to be closer to her and my grandson Kathy went out of her way to find the property that best fit our needs. Even after a bad experience with one landlord, Kathy kept working hard for us. We have had excellent agents through Keller Williams both in Buffalo, NY and Northern Virginia Everyone at Keller is pleasant, hard working, kept us informed and has worked with our schedule I was a sales/territory mgr for 45 years and my wife a first level manager for the phone company for 39 years. We both recognize the high value she brings to her industry. Many people are quick to complain but rarely take the time to praise a job well done. My wife and I give Kathy Tracey the highest of recommendations for job well done. Bob Valenti
Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: Kathy recently helped my girlfriend and I find a wonderful townhome to rent in the Merrifield area. She was absolutely wonderful! Responsive, flexible, and knowledgeable.
Thank you so much for the kind words! Wishing you guys the best moving forward
Fantastic experience: The best real estate company I have ever dealt with. Especially Luz Blakney Very professional, experienced and helpful agent. Highly recommend.
Thanks Isaac. Always a pleasure.
Fantastic experience: Kathy and Graham Tracey are the perfect kind of Realtor: knowledgeable, professional, personable, and committed to taking care of you. We had the fortune of having the Tracey's for both a buying and selling experience. Our buying experience occurred in Summer 2020, when COVID was still new, travel was very limited, and in-person visits were a near-impossibility. As I was getting ready for a military move to the hot DC housing market area, my wife and I had no choice but to press through. The Traceys were ready for the challenge. With outstanding research and prompt and clear communication to both my wife and I, we were able to find a wonderful home that met our price and location parameters before it went on the market. As almost all sales were settled within a day or two, Kathy and Graham wisely recommended make an offer on the first day and write a letter to tell a little bit of our story as a military family. The combination of speed and personal touch worked and the seller went with us without forcing us to go into a bidding war, something very common that summer and now. When we decided this February to retire from the military this Summer (2022) and move to the Tampa area (The decision had nothing to do with our DC area home...We love that home and will miss it deeply!), we knew who to go to: Kathy and Graham. Again, we needed to move fast, as we have four school-aged kids and would need to sell a home, move, and get settled before the school year in Florida starts. The whole effort was very intimidating, but we knew we didn't have to worry with the Tracey's. After a meeting to game plan the next two months of home prepping/staging, online posting, home showing, and the sale/purchase process, they had us ready, and it went off without a hitch. We were able to align the home showing with a pre-planned vacation that started on a Thursday and have an offer that Saturday we closed on while on a cruise ship. Not only did we get the top of the price we were hoping for, all contingencies were waived! To celebrate Kathy visited us with a bag of baked goods and wine. The sale and the wine were wonderful. Kathy and Graham Tracey have our highest endorsement to help you buy or sell your next home.
Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: Realtor is not what I would use for Graham and Kathy .. The best way to describe them is FAMILY. They had to deal with a lot of moving pieces and they did it without flinching. In the process of showing us houses we felt completely comfortable… they do these showing as if they were the ones buying these homes, pointing out the little details you might miss, creating visions, really listening to all our needs. We didn’t just buy a house, they helped us find our HOME. Thank you for making a stressful process fun.
Thanks Loreth. Always a pleasure.
Fantastic experience: Me and my boyfriend were looking to rent for the first time and Kathy was such a big help throughout the entire process. I don’t know if we would have gotten a place as quickly if we didn’t have her help and expertise. She did her very best to move things along quickly and smoothly for us which is important in this business. She also made sure she reviewed the lease for us which is something we were unfamiliar with so it was good to have someone looking out for us. She also made sure to answer any questions we had about the entire process and listened to us when we told her what type of place we were looking for. Whether you’re renting or buying I think Kathy would be an amazing help to have on your side!
Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: It was a pleasure working with Kathy and Graham. Kathy is very enthusiastic about helping her clients find that next place we all want to call home. Outstanding communication, punctuality and great work ethics from her and her entire team are some of the things that have made the process of buying a property for the first time, not only smooth but a really joyful experience. I feel very lucky and thankful to have found a team with such level of commitment to the work they do.
Thank you so much for your kind review!
Fantastic experience: Upon my first meeting with Luz, about this condo in Reston I bought, her communication was top notch which to me is very important. When she said she was going to do do a particular task regarding the purchase or communicating with anyone involved it was done in a timely manner with success. She was very outgoing, friendly, and polite. She went out of her way to do things that needed to be done, during very trying weather conditions. She is highly motivated and very clear and concise with communication, she is a true asset to the real estate community here in Northern Va and I highly advise anyone seeking to buy or sell to find Luz, and put her to work for you as she will get the job done. We are happy.
Thank you so much for the kind words! Wishing you guys the best moving forward
Fantastic experience: My wife and I are so excited we just purchased our first home! This could not have been possible without the amazing team we had helping us along the way during our entire experience. We would like to give a huge thank you to Kathy and Graham of Greater Reston Living for answering all of our questions (and there were lots), taking us to look at at least a dozen homes, assisting us in putting together a competitive offer, so we could truly enjoy the home buying process and all the other things they both do behind the scenes! Not to mention they bought us a popcorn machine for our basement theater (keep swiping for a photo). We are so incredibly happy with the house and neighborhood we're moving into early next year and we're so excited for new adventures together in Haymarket, VA! We really appreciate and are grateful for Kathy and Graham's knowledge, expertise, and assistance in our journey.
Thank you so much for your review! It was a pleasure serving you.
Fantastic experience: My roommates and I had the pleasure of working with Kathy Tracey. From beginning to end she was diligent, quick to help with anything we asked, and made the process of finding and moving into our new apartment easy.
Thank you so much for the kind words! Wishing you guys the best moving forward
Fantastic experience: Luz was our realtor, who helped us in all aspects of my home buying experience. I bought an old home and She looked all the details as if she was buying. And gave lot of input even before the inspection. And also at the end of the deal the home was not cleaned, so she worked very hard to get credits for the cleaning from the seller after the closing. I really recommend her for any one who is looking for a good realtor.
Thank you so much for the kind words! Wishing you guys the best moving forward
Fantastic experience: Luz represented us very well for our recent purchase. She comes across as a strong advocate for her clients. Important to us is someone who is available on a timely basis to recommend and view properties, answer questions, discuss strategies and fix problems. Luz was always available on short notice to meet with us and worked quickly to get information to us regarding seller responses and the details of closing. We shared a concern about an item on our settlement statement and she quickly addressed it. She also conveyed important information about the requirements of the condo building we were buying into. She is clearly dedicated to strong customer service and working in the best interests of her clients.
Thanks Charles. Always a pleasure.
Fantastic experience: "Best realtor you can get!! Kathy has been my realtor twice already. She helped me find a rental place a couple of years ago and a home to buy in the summer of 2021. Together, we went through an amazing journey of exploring NoVA neighborhoods. We’ve seen a lot – from cute, to odd, to amazing, to scary. But what a fun journey that was. Through that experience Kathy has helped me understand what is the home that would make me happy and what part of NoVA would be the best fit for me. But that was but a start. Finding the right home in the intense COVID market was more than a challenge. Kathy navigated the market with vigor and grace. She supported me in the days I got discouraged and demonstrated unbelievable investigatory skills while contacting listing agents. Now, that I am a happy new homeowner I want to praise Kathy for her dedication, professional understanding of the market, great communication skills, and a fantastic sense of humor. "
Thanks Marina. Always a pleasure.
Fantastic experience: Kathy Tracey was amazing to work with! She handled the selling our father’s house with respect, dignity, and was so incredibly helpful. I am in a different state and she worked around my schedule and always answered my questions promptly. If anyone is selling or buying a home I HIGHLY recommend working with Kathy. I could not be more thankful for how smoothly this whole process went with Kathy by our side!
Thank you so much for the kind words! Wishing you guys the best moving forward
Fantastic experience: I can’t imagine going through the home buying experience without Kathy and Graham. Kathy was everything you could ask for in a realtor – personable, flexible, and extremely responsive. As a first-time home buyer, she and Graham made sure I understood the ins and outs of the process. Their combined knowledge and insights were extremely valuable and put me at ease throughout what could have been a very stressful experience. I cannot recommend this duo enough! Thanks, Kathy and Graham, for helping me find my dream home!
Thank you so much for your review! It was a pleasure serving you.
Fantastic experience: From the very beginning, we knew Kathy and Graham would get the job done for us! They are knowledgeable, friendly, supportive, and most importantly flexible. They don't take a cookie cutter approach. They met us where we were and developed a customized solution to best fit our needs and goals. They were with us every step of the way. The marketing of our property was outstanding and led to a great offer on Day 1. We can't speak highly enough of the service Kathy and Graham provided and recommend them unreservedly!
Thank you so much for your kind review!
Fantastic experience: THANK YOU Luz for helping us get into our Reston dream house! As first time home buyers, especially in today’s highly competitive market, Luz’s knowledge and sense of urgency proved to be invaluable. She helped us navigate the whole process and understand what strategies we could take to get the house we wanted, even in a sellers’ market! Without a doubt, working with Luz (and the whole Greater Reston Living team) has made all the difference. I would highly recommend Luz to anyone serious about making a move.
Thank you so much for your kind review!
Fantastic experience: Kathy is great! She is one of the most responsive realtors I've ever worked with. She is super responsive and willing to do virtual sessions on new homes and make sure we get the first look... Time is of the essence in this market and she really understands that. She definitely goes the extra mile to keep everything moving. She has a great time around her to help with settlement and also, financing. Most agents drag their feet, she does not...Really helpful and knowledgeable about the market. I would recommend her for my friends.
Thank you so much for your review! It was a pleasure serving you.
Fantastic experience: Kathy helped my fiancé and I find our first place together. Right off the bat, Kathy was super easy to talk to and we knew she had our best interests in mind. She always kept us in the loop and was very reliable through phone and email. She knows what’s important to you in finding your home and it shows through her hard work. My fiancé and I now feel more than comfortable with our move and are so thankful Kathy helped make the process easy for our first time.
Thank you so much for your kind review!
Fantastic experience: I feel so fortunate to have discovered Kathy Tracey during my search for an effective realtor for my condo rental. Given the timing and ramifications today’s of COVID-19 climate, it has not been easy to rent my condo but Kathy made it happen! Her positive and people friendly attitude matched with her realtor expertise is a winning combination. Kathy has mastered social media and can get eyes on your property immediately. There were several nuisances and tasks needed to bring my last rental home and Kathy handled it all with flair. I would work with her again for any sale or rental, she is a closer! I highly recommend Kathy.
Thank you so much for your review! It was a pleasure serving you.
Fantastic experience: Provided great care for touring even during the pandemic and would definitely recommend people if they are thinking to move to Reston to talk to them first!
Thank you so much for the kind words! Wishing you guys the best moving forward
Fantastic experience: Kathy was fantastic! She was always available to help, full of good advice, and is super personable. We look forward to working with her in the future and highly recommend her to anyone in need of an amazing realtor!
Thank you so much for your review! It was a pleasure serving you.
Fantastic experience: Kathy Tracey, our realtor, is a GEM!! We met her and knew immediately that we were in good hands for our home search and buying process. Within four days of beginning our search, we had a contract on the home of our dreams. She quickly facilitated a few obstacles, mostly because of the crazy seller's market, and kept us informed of all developments. She communicated everything in a manner that kept us knowledgeable about the process until and through our closing. Now we don't just call her our realtor, we call her our friend. Thank you Kathy, and we're so happy you came into our lives at exactly the right time!
Thank you Roxy!!! That house was meant for you and Bruce!!! I'll never forget that crazy 4 days and then you walked into the house of your dreams. And...that was the one! When I saw that Peach Tree, your name was written all over it! I'm happy to call you my friend. I know you are enjoying your deck, that view, those hummingbirds, your flowers and your privacy. Looking forward to celebrating with some cab on your deck very soon! I'm so happy we met at exactly the right time. :)
Fantastic experience: Kathy did an amazing and thorough job! Can’t recommend her enough! Just when you’re feeling overwhelmed with ALL those documents and signatures, she makes you feel at ease. Professional and extremely knowledgeable! She was there for us during the entire process.
Thank you Emily for your very kind words. Home buying can be overwhelming, I'm so happy that you felt at ease during the process. I'm thrilled that you got the house, the neighborhood, the schools and the outdoor space that you wanted for you family. Can't wait for the party in the tub! :)
Fantastic experience: Our Realtor, Kathy played such a significant role in our first-time home buying experience and was truly able to capture what we were looking for in a new home for our growing family. She is very detailed oriented, professional and super flexible. We certainly appreciate working with her and her team!
Hey Berenice...it was such a pleasure to have been a part of your journey in finding a new home. I'm so excited for you and your growing family. :-) - Kathy
Fantastic experience: Best realtor ever! We were just looking for a new rental with no thoughts of buying when Kathy took us on as clients. She diligently looked for us, rental after rental with no luck. She suggested we buy and literally a week later we were under contract and 21 days later we were moving in. If you want an agent who will listen to you and work for you there is no better agent! Thank you Kathy!
This just warms my heart, Tina. Thank you so much! I'm so glad that we persevered and made it happen for your family - and your golf course view is amazing! - Kathy
