Broker / REALTOR®

About

Born in Nashville and raised in San Antonio, Tracy moved to Asheville in 1992 shortly after graduating from Baylor University. Before becoming a broker with Preferred Properties, she worked as a fund-raising and marketing professional for several large non-profits, including United Way and the YMCA -- experiences which helped her refine her customer service, sales and communication skills.   

Although she has changed professions, Tracy continues to be involved, and volunteers regularly at her children's school, where she enjoys reading with kids in the classroom and co-chairing the annual book fair. Prior to that, she volunteered for many years with the school's outreach program to low-income families. In addition to serving on the Claxton Elementary PTO, she has also been a board member of several community organizations, including the Junior League of Asheville and the Verner Center for Early Learning.  

Tracy and her husband reside in North Asheville with their two children. She has bought and sold several homes, including rentals, as well as gone through the building process on her current residence. Her years of living, working and volunteering in Asheville make her a great resource for those looking to buy and sell real estate in the area.

What Clients Are Saying

As an out of state investor looking for the highest cash flowing properties in Western NC, an experienced agent with local knowledge of the area (and its STR regulations) was a major concern. Tracy Dew delivered on all accounts and gave us the confidence to move quickly. She found the property, guided us during the negotiations and ultimately helped us submit the winning offer in a multiple offer situation. Tracy also went above and beyond during the various inspections as she was our eyes and ears on site while we were out of state.

We would not have found this gem if it wasn't for her. I recommend Tracy without reservation and will work with her again if another opportunity arises.

"Tracy was highly recommended for her knowledge of the market and honesty.

I felt very comfortable knowing Tracy was overseeing every aspect of the purchase process.

Every time I had a question or needed assistance, Tracy was responsive, timely, and patient with me.

Tracy Dew is awesome!! "

 

Mark Dickerson - Etowah, NC

Tracy Dew is an incredible real estate agent. She guided us expertly through buying a home from 2600 miles away in the middle of the pandemic. This was in the middle of the lockdown and we kind of had to reinvent the open house, pandemic style. All I can say is during the time it seemed like the whole world was falling apart, she found us our dream house.

I've bought and sold many houses over the years and Tracy Dew is in the top 1% of all realtors I have dealt with. She is knowledgeable, professional, friendly and patient. I'd work with her again in an instant.

Ricki Shine, Greenville, SC

Tracy was great to work with and extremely helpful and professional throughout. She was always willing to go the extra mile. Further she has provided us with many recommendations for people and services that have consistently been good. And it was always enjoyable to spend time with her.

Kristine Baltus Asheville

Tracy was very engaged in our property sale from consideration of initial options through the prep for sale and placing the property on the market. We asked many questions and had a lot of interaction with Tracy and she was always very responsive and helpful in guiding us. She had excellent contractor connections where we needed them. She made many suggestions that helped us be able to sell our property for more that we had targeted.Tracy is very professional and knows her business well. We were very pleased with every aspect of our experience. As stated, we were very pleased with our experience with Tracy. While we were concerned at times about not receiving offers early on, even though we had a number of showings. Tracy helped us put this in perspective due to placing the property on the market in late fall. Tracy was familiar with the market response in the Asheville area and put us at ease. Her projection of possible outcomes were actually realized in our case. We felt very supported and confident in depending on Tracy's skill and knowledge. Tracy is a hard working, knowledgeable and skilled real estate professional who is very pleasant to work with.

Bob Stancil, Raleigh, NC

What a great buying experience! Tracy listened to my top property desires and was really dogged in finding the perfect house. Buying from a distance, Tracy did video walk throughs when I couldn't be there in person, advised on pros and cons of the neighborhoods I was interested in, and was honest when a property might not be ideal for my needs. She even found a honest and talented electrician and plumber for the older 1920s bungalow we bought, and has continued to be incredibly helpful even after the purchase was completed. I would highly recommend Tracy for anyone considering a move to or within Asheville, it was a breeze with her guidance!

Elle Green Austin to Asheville

I can't think of a single thing Tracy Dew could have done to improve our home buying experience. She listened carefully to what we were looking for, worked diligently, to find it, and wrote a contract the seller would accept, all in the midst of a pandemic and an incredibly tight housing market.

We were out of town through the process, so it was wonderful to have her professional expertise handling inspections, repairs, closing.

We absolutely love the home she found for us. It is beyond what we were hoping for. I would highly recommend Tracy to anyone looking to buy a home in the Asheville area.

Thanks Tracy! You were one of the best parts of 2021.

Tracy is a true patient professional. Her attention to detail and local knowledge make her an outstanding advocate for someone purchasing from out of town. 5/5 stars!

Tracy was exceptional every step of the way

April Wikstrom. Franklin NC

Tracy Dew is what every broker should be: Knowledgable about residential real estate, has the unique ability to assess her clients "real" needs and desires, and a willingness to go way beyond the usual "drive through" behavior that afflicts many brokers. Tracy Dew has patience. Ms. Dew brokered our end of the transaction with a cash offer only slightly below the asking price FOUR DAYS, that's right 4 DAYS, after the home was put on the market. She's a FIVE STAR agent!

Elise McClintick, San Antonio, Texas

Tracy Dew has been wonderful to partner with in finding our dream home in Asheville. Making a move from out-of-state and knowing very little about the Asheville real estate market, we needed a knowledgeable local agent to guide us. Tracy was very accommodating in answering our myriad of questions about various Asheville neighborhoods. After several days of looking and realizing that we were going to have to build to satisfy our unusual requirements, Tracy switched gears and helped us find the ideal lot in our desired neighborhood and introduced us to a reputable builder and other professionals that will help us in the journey of making a permanent move to Asheville. My husband and I give Tracy 5 stars for her real estate knowledge and service to clients.

Sandy Cazemier, Houston, Texas

Tracy was extremely professional throughout the process and went above and beyond to make sure my home was ready for showings.
