Where do I even begin? Shortly after COVID locked us down in March 2020, it became apparent to me that I needed my own place and had to get out of renting in Montpelier. I called it my covid claustrophobia. I asked friends for realtor recommendations and after a few calls, it was an easy choice to work with Tracie Carlos. With it becoming clear that I would be able to work remotely indefinitely, my location options expanded beyond what I could have imagined considering. Tracie helped me navigate these options, recommending certain areas of Vermont, and was right there with me as I reviewed the listings that she had curated based on our many talks. We saw a lot of houses throughout Vermont and Tracie was super organized and helpful every day we scheduled showings. She paid attention to my feedback and continued to help me uncover ideas I didn't even know I had or should consider. As I was doing this on my own as a single Dad with my kids no longer living at home, her partnership was invaluable. Once I fell in love with a location and a prospective new home to be built, she jumped right in on being my ally in meetings with the builder and reviews of the specs, etc. If anyone has had a house built for them, you know there are a ton of details to work through. Tracie was there every single step of the way and we were in almost daily contact, helping me select carpeting, granite counters, cabinet colors, adding an extra window, negotiating add-on costs with the builder, and using the layout so I would have a beautiful home. Once construction started, Tracie would drive by and send me pictures. She would arrange times to meet me here so we could check out progress. She helped me navigate my mortgage process and the final details on the build. It was an intense few months and she was ALWAYS there for me, keeping my eyes on the prize with every step back the process tossed at me. Honestly, I wouldn't be sitting here in my home in Jeffersonville without her. Once I closed and we met here for the final walk-through and delivery of keys, she had am amazing gift basket waiting for me. Who does that?!? I was so touched that she was celebrating with me. And she hasn't lost touch. She left me a potted mum this past fall, some treats at Christmastime, and just sent me some goodies for Valentine's Day. Have I mentioned that she loves our state deeply and works tirelessly to build community? I can't recommend Tracie Carlos enough for your home selling/buying needs. Thank you, Tracie. I couldn't have done this without you.

Tracie is an amazing realtor and she was able to help our family navigate this tough buyers market. She goes above and beyond for her clients. She was always available and invested in helping our family find the right house. We can't thank her enough! I would recommend Tracie to anyone trying to buy a house in Vermont!
William
Tracie is awesome! She is the only one I would go to for assistance in the sale and or purchase of a home. Years ago we sold our old home and bought a townhome with Tracie. She recently helped me sell my townhome in Essex and we had three offers after 4 days. They were all above asking price and far beyond what I thought they would be. I have had experience with other real estate professionals and Tracie far out performs them all! She goes above and beyond for her clients, She makes you feel like you are the only one she is working for. She knows her profession and will make sure all of the details are taken care of. I have no worries when Tracie is on the job.
Jerry
We worked with her for the first time and she is the sweetest person we meet. She was always on put on explaining things to us about everything and she respond to our questions very clearly. She always reply really fast and she always had a positive attitude and vibe whenever we meet for an appointment. So I feel, for us like first time buyer, Tracie would be the perfect agent anyone could ask for. Me and my family always be thankful for that.
Tumsing
As first time home buyers, who weren't originally expecting to purchase a home anytime soon, Tracie has been extremely informative, accessible, and patient. With her overt and contagious energy she has helped us to feel motivated and confident during the process. She is an absolute delight to work with as a realtor and a person. From helping us negotiate the best deal, to walking us through each step of the process and answering our millions of questions, she has never failed to surpass any expectations we could possibly have had. We couldn't be happier to have Tracie, and all of Ridgeline Real Estate, on our team as we traverse the next step of becoming homeowners. It feels like family.
Ally and Jon
Tracie helped us sell our home within a week! from start to finish she was there to answer any of our questions, keep us informed and get us to a smooth closing! We could not have done it without her! Tracie's knowledge for the market and passion for what she does shines through her work! I wouldn't recommend anyone else
Taylor
Tracie was super helpful! She listened and understood what we were looking for and found us the perfect home for our family. She is very knowledgeable about the area and so fun and easy to work with.
Zach
My experience with Tracie was absolutely amazing. I could not have gone through this process without her. Tracie is there for her clients every step of the was. She helped me to know what areas in my home that needed updates before putting it on the market, what services to complete prior to listing, as in chimney inspection, septic inspection etc, and how much to declutter the home to let others see it as there own when they walked it. Tracie has an amazing eye for staging your home to bring its best features out. Selling and moving is a very stressful process and Tracie is more than willing to help make the process as smooth as possible and to help you to understand the process. I, again, could no have done this without her. I 100% recommend Tracie to anyone who is selling or buying a home or land, she will make you feel as if you are her only priority and work with you through the whole process in a professional, compassionate and courteous manner. Tracie is truly amazing a what she does.

Tracie is amazing to work with she is honest, caring, professional, and very responsive. We had several issues arise with our home and Tracie was able to help us find a solution to each one in a timely and cost effective fashion. Her experience and knowledge paired with her amazing personality made the sale of our home a wonderful experience. She gets the job done and truly cares about her clients. I am so Thankful that we were lucky enough to find Tracie to sell our house.

We loved working with Tracie! She was very professional and knowledgeable about the house we went to look at with her. With her help we were able to purchase our first home!
Meg
Tracie was excellent all around. She helped me and my husband find and purchase our first home! We looked through many other options, and throughout the entire process, she was always extremely informative, readily available, and, most importantly, she was kind and honest. We knew that she genuinely cared about our family and finding the home that we had worked so hard to be able to buy. She was also very knowledgeable about everything we asked, and, if she didn't know, she would quickly find out. She went above and beyond to help us accomplish our goal, and we highly recommend her to everyone we know is looking to buy or sell a home.
Brittany
I was selling my house of over 20 years that I had shared with my husband who had passed away. She was mindful of all of the feelings that I would have going through this process and was wonderful to work with. I found that she communicated with me throughout the process on where things stood, and what I needed to do. I would not hesitate to work with Tracie again in the future.
Jill
As buyers new to the area, we really benefitted from the personal and personable assistance Tracie provided to ease our path through the purchase process complicated with Covid restrictions. We could always count on her for a quick response or a thoughtful recommendation. We appreciate how involved she is in the local community and volunteer projects. She really applies her extensive experience in real estate and Vermont to the task.
Gwenn
Tracie is the most knowledgable, kind, tenacious, realtor I have ever met! Her expertise was beyond valuable as we navigated the process of both selling and purchasing a home earlier this year. I would recommend her over and over!
Zach
We loved working with Tracie! Very knowledgeable and super responsive. Follows through with every aspect of home buying and selling. We have used her twice now and would continue to recommend her in the future to friends and family.
Megan
Our experience with Tracie was outstanding from the time we first saw the listing for our property to the closing (and even afterwards!) She was knowledgeable, responsive, kind, level-headed, thorough, and patient. Our entire transaction went smoothly as she anticipated any potential curveballs in advance and addressed them. We've purchased several pieces of property in different states but Tracie made sure that this sale was smoother and easier than any other transaction that we've ever done.
Willow Realty
Oh my goodness...I can't believe #1, how generous you are & #2, how talented you are!! Thank you for the upcoming "date nite" at Leunig's...that will be very special & I'll make a toast to you. Kudos Tracie, you are the the "gold standard" of realtors & one of the genuinely nicest people we've ever met
Richard and Mary
We relocated from Florida to Vermont to find our forever home. Thanks to Tracie we truly believe we found that home. I can't say enough how amazing she was to work with. Communication, dedication, and her local knowledge was all beyond our expectations. She was there with us throughout every step, including a warm welcome to our new home and wonderful community. We're so happy where we've landed. It would not have been possible without Tracie by our side!
Eugene
Tracie is truly one of a kind! Her passion for reality truly shined when we met and throughout the process of selling our home. Her keen eye for detail, wonderful description of our property, and open communication made our sale seamless. She’s an expert in her field and honestly in the top 1% of all realtors, without hesitation. Highly recommend to any buyer or seller out there!
Justin
Tracie Carlos was great to work with! She is very experienced and knowledgeable about the entire home-selling process. She was always available to take our calls and quickly responded to our texts. She set up an online scheduling system for showings that worked great! We had over 17 showings in 4 days, and our house was under contract in 5 days with 2 offers, both over ask.
Michele
Tracie Carlos came extremely highly recommended and we will now do the same for others. Incredible knowledge of everything you need to buy in this market with amazing attention to detail, and a lovely person.
Leslie
So we did it! We bought our first and forever home! A huge Thank you to Tracie L Carlos, who did a wonderful and exceptional job finding this home for us. Spending endless amounts of time unwrapping red tape. She did all the work but made it painless and stress free for us. We would recommend her to anyone!
Linda
We are so incredibly grateful to be settled in our new dream "forever home" in Pinewood Manor. We're certain the process to get here would have been much more difficult without the many ways the seller's realtor, Tracie Carlos, went above and beyond -- from always being responsive to our many questions all the way to shoveling and snow blowing the driveway before move-in day herself ! If you're looking for someone who is passionate, personable and can make magic happen, Tracie is your person.
Nicole
Tracie is on top of all aspects of the real estate market in Essex. She was very helpful from the beginning with negotiations and triple checking that every step was completed properly and on time. She even attended our closing and gave us a very warm welcome to the neighborhood. Thanks Tracie!
Cortlandt
Tracie was very helpful in getting us a house quickly in a tough buyers market. She brought a good depth of knowledge on work arounds to make our offers as attractive as possible. She is very responsive to help answer any questions. I highly recommend using her to buy or sell a house.
James
After meeting with several potential real estate professionals, we selected Tracie to help us sell our home because of her experience, success in selling homes in our neighborhood, and the passion and energy she brings to every aspect of real estate. Tracie worked tirelessly for us and provided guidance at every step in the process. Even in a seller's market, we relied heavily on her expertise and she really came through for us--we recommend Tracie without reservation--she's wonderful in every way!
Sara
You won’t find someone who is as intuitive, knowledgeable or works harder than Tracie. She is quick to respond and on top of every step along the way. No one I would recommend more than her!
Taylor
Tracie Carlos is so much more than your average Real Estate Agent! She helped me every step of the way, educated me about the processes and stepped up to ensure I was able to purchase my home. Tracie has an incredible network of realtors, homeowners and other community members. I could not have asked for a better realtor!
Lauren
Throughout our home selling and buying experience Tracie was incredibly thorough, thoughtful and knowledgeable. We had full confidence in her and knew she’d have our back if anything came up! She covers all of her bases and genuinely cares about her clients in both the sale and purchasing of a home.
Mary
Tracie helped me sell my house and she helped me buy my condo. She is helpful, kind, professional, knowledgeable, and quick to respond to any questions you may have. She goes above and beyond and I highly recommend her!
Lily
Tracie was a blessing to have as our partner in selling our home. She was very informative, clearly explaining every thing we needed to do, and then supporting us completely. We had lived in our home for 31 years, and it was very emotional to sell our home and move to a new phase in our lives, but Tracie was exceptionally supportive, and seemed to always check in on us when we needed some extra support. She made the entire process go smoothly, and we greatly appreciate her support as both a real estate agent, and as a friend for life. We would highly recommend Tracie to help with your real estate needs, as we are sure she will be as amazing for you as she was for us!
David
We worked with Tracie Carlos at Ridgeline, and Tracie was 100% amazing! She was so flexible and worked with us and our wants/preferences, and she is SUCH a great communicator. If we needed anything, day or night, she was on it. She gave us unbiased, unfiltered information about the properties we looked at and gave clear recommendations given our preferences, all while being respectful of our autonomy and decisions. She has great experience and had great recommendations/connections with people in the area. During the process of putting in offers, she knew every single detail and knew how to walk us through the process so that we were fully informed but we didn't feel overwhelmed. During the process of closing, she was just as knowledgeable and communicative. Each step was clear and easy for us, and she found us a GREAT deal with exactly what we needed! And even more impressive, she was able to do so in an extremely competitive seller's market. On top of it all, she's such a great person and such a pleasure to talk to. All of her assistants and support staff at the office were also amazing :) I'd recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat.
Ethan
We were very blessed to have found Tracie when we decided to sell our home of 36 years. She was able to share her expertise with us so we could clearly understand what to expect and she listened to understand our needs. When the time came to list our house, Tracie's pulled out all the stops with helping us set up the home to show its best features and leverage the latest technologies to reach the widest audience. After a successful open house we closed on an offer with her help and Tracie continued to guide us through the closing. We would recommend Tracie to anyone as her professional expertise, ability to listen and genuine concern for people is invaluable in the process of selling a home. God clearly gave us the best realtor in giving us Tracie Carlos.

Every time when we need her for advice or suggestion , she was always right there for us. I would highly recommend to have her as an agent. She is the best real estate agent in this area. As I said she is a wonderful human being also and she cares about people.

Deborah
Tracie was a tremendous advantage for us to have on our team as first-time homebuyers! In the seller’s market of 2022 … We can honestly say we would never have done as well through our buying process without her. Her years of expertise guided us every step of the way. She was consistently available for questions, advice, and encouragement from the moment we started working with her, and even after we closed on our home. Tracie is a seasoned negotiator and was able to work out incredible arrangements for us in our contract with the seller. Her enthusiasm does help you through the hard parts of the process. She went above and beyond for us, is a pleasure to work with, and we would choose her again in an instant! We have already have and will highly recommend her to anyone needing an excellent real estate professional.
Devra
Tracie met with and I felt comfortable right off the bat s she put me at ease. She walked us the process of her listing our home and advised us what to expect, she then stated our home for potential buyers could see the potential of our home. Tracie did a absolutely stunning job with the staging as you would thought it was performed by a professional interior designer, again I can’t say enough as she had our sold with three weeks after my wife and I tried for two months.
Buzz
Tracie was representing the sellers of the property we purchased. We didn't have our own representation and Tracie was very helpful and kind throughout the process. She is a great communicator and she went the extra yard to make closing day special for all of us.
