Extremely knowledgeable and willing to share this knowledge
The thought of purchasing our first home was overwhelming and daunting! We were so excited to finally take the plunge, but we didn't know where to start or what to look for. After meeting with Ed Tracy we started to feel more comfortable knowing that we had someone like Ed looking out for us! He was extremely knowledgeable and willing to share this knowledge with us. We really enjoyed viewing the homes with Ed because he pointed out things that we didn't think of ourselves, and was sure to keep us on track! Ed Tracy acted in a professional, prompt and honest manner during our business with him and he really helped alleviate our stress about purchasing our first home. We are now proud new home owners of the perfect home for us! Thank you so much Ed! We appreciate all that you did for us during our journey to buy our first home!
Sincerely,
Natasha & Ryan Marchant
My home was sold in a very short period of time!
Considering the large number of very positive testimonials on Ed Tracy's real estate web site, it might seem superfluous to add yet another. However, a wise friend once told me that to get through life successfully and happily, it would be a good thing to always try and catch someone doing something right. In this case, it wasn't difficult. Ed Tracy's team, from the beginning of our professional relationship was supportive, helpful, and most importantly...effective. My home was sold in a very short period of time for a satisfactory price and with very little disruption of my time and schedule. Ed Tracy's team did everything right to effect fulfilment of a reasonable list of expectations. Well done.
Sincerely,
Cliff Cassidy
Would highly recommend Ed
We would like to thank Ed Tracy and his team for their hard work, support and advice during both the sale of one home and the purchase of another. We bought a new home on the conditional sale of our current home. Ed and his team had our house sold in two weeks which was a great relief to us. It is easy to tell that Ed has a thorough understanding of the real estate market and what must be done in order to sell your home. Both Ed and his team were always very quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had and updated us regularly on the progress of our listing. Ed was very open to our suggestions and was willing to offer his advice to make sure we were happy with both our home purchase and home sale. We would definitely use Ed and his team again in the future and would highly recommend them to

Smooth selling experience
My husband and I were taking a military posting back east, and upon the recommendation of a fellow military co-worker decided to interview Ed Tracy as a potential realtor for the sale of our home. From the moment Ed entered our home, to the moment we signed the purchase agreement, everything was above our expectations. Whenever we called Ed, he was prompt in returning our calls and always had an answer for us. His entire team was very organized courteous and professional. His home feedback internet tool was exactly what we were looking for in a communications plan. His comprehensive statistical analysis allowed us to always know what the potential buyers were commenting on and it provided valuable feedback as a seller. To put the period on this sentence... Our home sold for OVER ASKING! Need I say more? Thank you Ed and for a job well done and an exceptionally smooth selling experience.
Many thanks.
Flo & Mark Wilson
The house was sold before my expectation!
Whenever I want to sell or buy a house and wherever I am I always contact Ed Tracy because I know I can count on him to make it happen according to plans. When I came back from an overseas trip in March I wanted to sell the house recently vacated by the tenants. I wanted to have the house sold before the start of summer so that I could move on. Based on my previous experience with Ed Tracy I just called him because I knew he will have the plan for me. And the house is sold before my expectation. This is all due to Ed's professional expertise, objective approach, and comprehensive study of the real estate market.
Many thanks for the job well done.

I would certainly recommend Ed
Ed Tracy provides very professional and courteous service. He was very knowledgeable about the market in my neighbourhood. I received feedback after every showing, so I knew what potential buyers thought of my home. Ed and his team were prompt in responding to any of my questions or concerns. I would certainly recommend Ed Tracy when you want to list sell your home.
Tricia Connor and A.J. Connor
The best choice
When we first decided to put our house on the market we started looking for the very best person we could find to sell our property and we decided that you were the best choice. We were so happy with the results. Many thanks to you and your efficient and friendly staff for making what could have turned into a stressful situation into a calm and reassuring experience.
Best wishes,
Billie and Jim Mitchell.
When we sell our next house, we’ll call Ed Tracy
The rules for the real estate market are changing, and the homeowner who is trying to get the best price for his home needs to have an agent that understands these new rules, and can effectively work the market on behalf of his client. We needed to sell our house quickly and called several agents. When Ed Tracy came by, and told us what we needed to do to get the best selling price, we were sold….on Ed Tracy. No B.S., “just do it, and your house will sell!” In 3 days, we had 5 showings and 3 offers. The offer we accepted fell through, it went back on the market, and in came 4 more offers….this time the one we accepted went through, at MORE than we listed it for. When we sell our next house, we’ll call Ed Tracy.
Thanks Ed and team.
Ed & Lorraine Lynch
Sold our home in less than 3 weeks
We would like to thank Ed Tracy for his exceptional service. My husband and I wanted to sell our house and Ed Tracy had our home sold before the sign even went on the lawn! Ed had a serious buyer interested in our home. Not only did he sell our home in less than 3 weeks, he helped us find our new home. Thanks Ed.
Don and Helen Belknap
Easy to understand plan and well researched statistics
Ed’s knowledge of the real estate market is equally matched by his honest and dedication towards his clients. He laid everything out for us with an easy to understand plan and well researched statistics. Ed understands his clients needs and is an attentive listener. He was always very professional and ensured that every detail was performed in a timely manner. We are very pleased with the outcome of our sale.
Rosanne & Paul Antunes
We're dealing with a pro!
Finding a good real estate agent can be a bit of a gamble. Ed Tracy takes the risk out of this gamble through his professionalism and sound business planning. His presentation in our first meeting made us realize we're dealing with a pro. He gave us straight forward advice with confidence and provided us with the information we needed to make sound decisions. I am a military member and Ed was well versed in all aspects of the RLRS. From the moment I contacted Ed's website he was immediately available to meet our needs. Ed, you are a consummate professional and we thank you for the quick sale of our house. We only wish you worked in Ottawa too so you could help us buy our next house.
Jon and Wendy Russell
Great experience!
We initially put our house on the market with another agent and after nearly 3 months were unsatisfied with the results. In hindsight that agent told us what we wanted to hear and placed too much emphasis on a poorly defined marketing plan. At the same time his company's much-touted viewer feedback system proved to be a dud, returning zero feedback to us due to lack of follow-up with showing agents. As Ed walked us through his plan his experience became immediately evident. He was professional in his approach and refrained from commenting on our previous agents activities. Nevertheless, we were easily able to identify where that agent and his company faltered. Ed was quick to return calls and his staff regularly followed up with showing agents to ensure timely feedback was provided after each showing. Within 3 weeks of meeting with Ed we had 17 showings, 4 offers and a sold sign on the lawn. Too bad we didn’t list with him from the beginning… Thanks Ed!

Give Ed Tracy a call
My Fiancée and I had our home on the market for a while and were unsuccessful with most of the process...few showings...lack of interest...poor feedback. We pulled it off of the market and did some re-evaluating and asking around and this is when we kept hearing "Give Ed Tracy a call". We heard this from a few friends and even my father who is retired from Real Estate. Following everyone’s advice, we gave Ed a call, along with a few other agents. We went through the process and when Ed showed up he delivered a very impressive presentation which was based on fact...and he had the numbers to prove it. We were happy with what he showed us and listed with him the next morning. We had a ton of showings in the weeks that followed and received prompt feedback on 99% of them. To make a long story short, Ed sold our home for a price we were happy with and saved us from a major debt and a huge headache. He is very calm and methodical in his approach and his results speak for it. We are moving out of the area but if anyone from Barrie needs to sell with confidence they should give Ed and his Team a call. You will be happy you did.

Sale was completed in a matter of days
I have found Ed Tracy and his team to be effective and efficient with good advice and a true sense of the local market. I have bought several properties with Ed's help and now have sold one - and that sale was completed in a matter of days!! I would recommend Ed to anyone considering a real estate transaction in the Barrie area.
Judy McLeod
Gladly recommend Ed and his team
We had to sell our house fast and in today's housing market we were a little leery. It was our first time selling a house and we didn't know anything about it. We met Ed Tracy and he assured us our house would sell quickly if we took his advice. We did the things Ed suggested, and 16 days later we were signing papers for the closing of our house. We were so happy everything went according to the plan that Ed had set out. Ed and his team helped us all the way through the process. We will gladly recommend Ed and his team to anyone who is selling. We wanted the job done and Ed did it.
Mike & Laurie
Exceeded our expectation
We recently had the need to sell our home. With good fortune, we invited Ed Tracy to visit the property and share his thoughts with regard to pricing the property. Not only was Ed very professional in his timely response, but also extremely knowledgeable about our area, recent sales activity on our street, and the general real estate market conditions at that time. Ed provided a detailed overview of his team approach and the activity plan for the sale of the property. He explained the process of the constant feedback that we could expect, and how beneficial this information would be as we proceeded to the ultimate sale of the home. (This was not the typical real estate process that we had experienced in selling property in the past.) His knowledgeable advice helped us price it right and the quick reaction from his team resulted in a sale in just six days. The Ed Tracy Selling System exceeded our expectation, and we would highly recommend his services. Thanks Ed.
Gail & Robert Garnett
So pleased with the services!
We currently were listed with another real estate agent for 5 months and during that time, we had very few showings and very little feedback. We decided to hire Ed Tracy for the job. We are so pleased with the services that Ed Tracy and his team have provided us. Our home was listed for only a few weeks and with 17 showings in such a short time, our house sold. We thank Ed Tracy and his team for the great work and determination in the selling of our home. Ed Tracy has an impressive communication system with his clients, you are made aware at all times of the status, whether it is a calendar of showings or constant feedback statements. We highly recommend you hire Ed Tracy and his team. Thank you so much Ed and the team!
Jeff & Nicole Coulton
Highly recommend Ed and his team
We would like to say thank you to Ed and his wonderful team. Ed immediately noticed all the wonderful selling features in our home and was very confident that it would sell and at a good price. He was right on both accounts. The instant feedback and weekly reports also helped take some of the stress out of selling. I would highly recommend Ed and his team to anyone interested in buying or selling a home. Once again thank you.
Suzanne and Michael
The whole experience was a memorable one
We thank you Ed Tracy and your team for the great job you did selling our house and finding us a new home. The whole experience was a memorable one. You and your team were always there, very professional, ready to answer any questions. We were especially impressed with your honesty and the feedbacks you provided to us. Thanks to you and your team. FANTASTIC!!
Rayad and Sharna
We were "kept in the loop" with Ed
Once we decided to sell our house the market was not at it's best. Our first attempt with another real estate was not the best experience. Not happy with this we did research and contacted Ed Tracy. Once listed with Ed, we were receiving updates via phone and email, and bi-weekly reports. We were "kept in the loop" with Ed. Thanks guys.
Brian Vanderstelt
Understanding and supportive
We were recently in a position where we had to sell our home and buy another, in the middle of a very depressed market. Ed was not only understanding and supportive, but his constant feedback helped us understand what the market was saying about our home and neighbourhood, and we were grateful we never had to speculate on what prospective clients were saying. As our critical date drew closer, the guaranteed sale option provided us with the opportunity to buy the new property that was going to meet our needs and move forward. Without his support, we would still likely be weighing out options and we would have missed the opportunity to buy our new home. Many thanks to Ed, and his team!
Ed & Susan Enns
Guarantee of our home being sold
What attracted us originally to Ed Tracy's team was the Guarantee of our home being sold, which gave us the freedom to search for another home, worry free. Our home was listed and sold in two weeks. Ed and his team were thorough in listing and marketing our home and also in evaluating homes we were interested in purchasing. We would not hesitate to recommend Ed Tracy and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
Bob and Nancy Walters
Friendly, professional service
We would like to sincerely thank Ed Tracy and his attentive staff for the friendly, professional service they have provided to us with the selling of our home. This was the third time in 7 years that Ed and his staff have taken care of our transactions, as well as transactions for family. Each time we have been more than satisfied with Ed’s competent and friendly guidance, making the stressful time of selling a home a whole lot easier. Thanks so much to Ed and his staff for all they have done.
Bert and Pat Boyd
Ed and his team kept us well informed
Ed's guarantee allowed us to negotiate from a strong position on our new house and have peace of mind. Ed and his team kept us well informed with the instant feedback e-mailed regarding showings and the weekly reports. It allowed us to make informed discussions every step of the way. Thank you so much!
Brian & Amanda Sproule
Response was immediate
We were very impressed with the communication received by both Ed Tracy and his "TEAM". I directed all of my concerns to Matt and his response was immediate. We received 95% of the asking price for our home for which I was very satisfied in these hard economic times. The feedback sheets were received every 2 weeks as promised by Ed. The stats on the number of viewings by agents, the number of hits on the website for our property etc. were all included in those stats. I would recommend Ed and his team to anyone wishing to sell their home.
Sincerely,
Sam & Nancy Hornung
Quickly and honestly
We are very happy with the services we received from Ed Tracy and his team. Any questions and concerns were responded to quickly and honestly. We would definitely recommend Ed to sell our home again and have recommended his team to others.
Jodie & Mike Wraight
Very impressed
We have been very impressed with the Ed Tracy Team during the very short time our home was up for sale. Ed's Team was extremely quick and thorough replying to any questions or concerns we may have. The feedback system from other agents showing our home was incredibly helpful and truly gave us insight into what potential buyers were thinking. We were extremely happy to have Ed Tracy Homes help out in the sale of our home. With only 3 showings and our house sold in 2 weeks, we could not be more pleased. Thank you. We appreciate all of your support.
Sincerely,
Brian & Michelle Edwards
Good approach and wealth of knowledge
After using a number of agents we were pleased with the service that was provided by both Ed and Matt. As you can imagine, trying to sell a home in this difficult economy was, at most times, very trying and disappointing. Ed was able to reassure us with numbers that we could see and understand what was happening. We feel, especially during these trying times, that Ed has a good approach and also has a wealth of knowledge to make anyone more comfortable when trying to sell their home.
Garry and Kim Laforge
Major League Closer!
Ed's marketing system, expertise, and real estate team will sell your home. If Ed played baseball he would be a closer for sure!
Mike and Jacqui Scoretz
Home selling strategy
Ed Tracy does not make promises, he makes plans. His plans for the sale of our house resulted in 13 showings of our home in the first week, 2 offers in the second and a completed sale before we even reached week three. His home selling strategy is something you can rely on to work.
Pat Bouffard
Able to sell your home
In these difficult times Ed Tracy was able to sell our home for a price we could live with. Thanks.
Dave Brake
Sold within one month
We would like to express our thanks to the Remax Team/Ed Tracy Homes. The service was very professional and courteous. This was our third try at selling our home and it sold within one month. Thanks again for a job well done.
Willard and Deb Klauck
His experience and wisdom guided us through the toughest market
When we were selecting a realtor: we were looking for one who was fulltime, had a proven track record, many house sales annually, familiar with Barrie home builders and their record for quality, the Barrie market, and an innovator in his service. In listing our home in early August we selected Ed Tracy based on his professionalism and responsiveness to our questions regarding his experience, and his knowledge of the Barrie market. Ed took the time to fully explain his system and then guided us through the process of preparing, pricing, and selling our house, and buying another property. His experience and wisdom guided us through the toughest market in the last 20-30 years. Ed makes a point of returning calls promptly which is helpful when advice is required. We appreciated his pricing, and property knowledge, and negotiation skills on our sale and purchase. We recommend Ed Tracy to you.
Michael and Cherylle Dunne
Ability to market and sell
We were looking for a real estate agent in the Barrie area and came across Ed's dvertising in the local paper. We had dealt with other agents in the past however Ed's marketing approach appeared unique and we knew that selling today was going to be more difficult due to the tough economic times. Ed met with us, thoroughly outlined his strategy and we decided to list with him. We were not disappointed. Even though the market seemed sluggish Ed continually changed his strategies and our house sold within 90 days. If you are looking for an agent with a different approach and proven results talk to Ed, you will "sold" on his ability to market and sell your property.
Mary Moreau
A positive experience
I recommend Ed highly to all my friends and family. He is a true professional and watches out for your best interest. Ed has navigated me through a number of house sells and purchases and has made them all a positive experience.
Kim Dobney
A special treatment
COMMUNICATION is vital when dealing with your agent. Ed and his staff did just this. We received regular up dates on what was happening with our home, as well as regular "feed back" sheets which were very helpful. This is the first time we have ever had this kind of special treatment. We knew Ed was on the job, and we were not ignored. It was very easy to contact him, and have him return our phone calls very quickly. I would highly recommend you call Ed, and he will take good care of your needs. Special consideration goes out to his assistant, Matt, who we found to be very helpful.
Len and Linda Snell
Sold the house fast!
With Ed Tracy's guaranteed sale program we were able to purchase our new house knowing that that our house was sold. Ed showed us statistically what our house would sell for and sold it house fast for 99.3% of the list price. We would definitely recommend Ed Tracey's Home Selling System to our friends. Thank you Ed for all your efforts.
Mike and Faye Dejean
Got my offer in the first two weeks!
To sell my first home, I choose Ed Tracy because of his personal approach and comprehensive program. Having already purchased a home in another town and under pressure to close in less than 2 months, Ed presented various selling options and responded to my needs promptly. Within two weeks I received my first offer and shortly therafter finalized the sale for more than 99% of the list price and with the close date that I needed. Not only was Ed personally available when I needed him, his team was professional, responsive… simply top notch! I’ve already recommended Ed and his team numerous times and have no hesitation recommending him to anyone who is thinking of selling or buying a home. Thank you Ed and team!
Catherine Van Leipsig
Gave us peace of mind
Ed Tracy’s “Home Selling Program” gave us piece of mind about our new home purchase. We went ahead and purchased a new home before selling our existing home. To buy before you sell is a scary thing to do and we didn’t want to end up owning two homes. Ed’s program took all the worry out of it when he explained how his program worked. We couldn’t believe there was a risk free way to buy and sell your home. Ed was able to sell our home for 98% of our asking price. Job well done Ed. Thank you and thanks to the advertisement that brought your program to our attention.
Andrew and Freida
An edge in the marketplace
As an investor, I am always looking at how I can get the edge in finding properties and analyzing them before they reach the general public. Ed Tracy’s VIP Buyer program has allowed me to purchase several properties in the Barrie area over the last year, often before other Realtors even know about them. The advance notification system alerts me when a property comes up that fits my profile, enabling me to act promptly when a good deal comes along. I would highly recommend Ed's program to anyone looking to find an edge in the marketplace.
John
Stress was taken away
They say that selling and buying a home can be one of the most stressful things to do, (which we found at the time of selling it could become very stressful) but with you as our agent and with the help of your staff some of that stress was taken away.
Communication is the key when dealing with your agent. We would definitely recommend Ed Tracy and his team, they quickly returned our phone calls and answered any questions we had. Thank you Ed for all your efforts. Special consideration goes out to Ed’s team member for helping us choose another home to buy. He kept in mind our preferences and location (even though we changed the location a couple of times). He showed us a few homes that matched what we were looking for and helped us make a decision on which home was good for us. We will certainly recommend Ed Tracy and his team to anyone we know looking for a Real Estate Agent!
Jason and Tracey Smith
Sold guaranteed
Thanks very much for the last six weeks. We spent a great deal of time interviewing agents before choosing you and we're very glad that we did. We were always able to get one of you (the team) on the phone to answer questions, and while the whole process of getting to the final sale was taking place, we were confident that we would find the right buyer and be able to move to our new house in time. Having the 'sold guaranteed' option was a big attraction for us. Thanks to your whole team for cementing the deal in a short time.
Chris and Crysta Giles
I would definately recommend Ed Tracy to anyone
We would like to thank Ed for helping us to sell our home. We always knew that our home would sell, but with Ed Tracy's Guaranteed Sale Program it definately put our minds at ease. We went with Ed's recommendations and according to his marketing plan our home sold within a month, and we got 100% of the asking price. I would definately recommend Ed Tracy to anyone who was buying or selling a home. We can't wait to move into our new home.
