Biography :
Hello there! I’m Tracy Vanderlinda. As a Gig Harbor resident who is well versed in real estate sales from Seattle to Kitsap County, I am here to make your next move to or from the South Sound area a positive and enriching experience.
Purchasing or selling a property is a major transaction, and I believe clear one-on-one communication each step of the way is essential to a smooth process. Selling your home requires a creative multi-platform marketing strategy while buying needs quick, adept research with a local ear to the ground approach.
I began working in real estate in the 90’s before starting my family, and I bring extensive experience in customer service. I also volunteered in community events while serving as the PTA president and on the PTA board for several years. Winning best of Renton Realtor 2019 by the Renton Reporter and community truly was an honor.
Whether you are moving up, scaling down, relocating, or investing I will be your advocate and partner. I pride myself on building long lasting friendships with my clients and look forward to working on your behalf.

Testimonials
Tracy is a top notch realtor with a keen eye for detail. She is also an artistic stager. In a hot market many realtors can look good but when the market cools….the good ones continue to stand out. Tracy is definitely a stand out! Her abilities to market a property differentiate her from the pack. Tracy sold our house in this overly cautious market delivering an offer in less than a month. The way she staged the home, her attention to detail, added support of a great partner to photograph with stills, video, drone (hubby) she set the stage for a fast sale. Also, impressive is her style of doing business. From the first meeting, to close she explains in detail each step and keeps you constantly informed. We learned a lot from Tracy and will definitely continue to refer and use her professional services. She has our recommendation! In todays market, you need an agent that can go above and beyond and Tracy is the one.- Donna & Ted Delude, Sellers
Are you looking for the best realtor in the PNW? Look no further. I've worked with several realtors over the last 4 years and Tracy is HANDS-DOWN the best of the best. As a first-time home buyer I was completely out of my element, Tracy was there every step of the way. She simplifies things, reaches out to the correct people on your behalf, researches the area, and most importantly listens to your wants and needs. She goes above and beyond for her clients and ensures they know they're being taken care of.- Brad Estby, Buyer
Tracy helped us sell our very old, unique home. There were so many stumbling blocks along the way and she helped us to handle them all with her extensive knowledge and experience. She was our voice when issues came up; and she held our hands when we needed it. We cannot thank her enough and would recommend her to anyone wanting a professional, real person to sell or purchase a home!- Bekki and David Ortis, Sellers
Working with Tracy was a pleasure. As a lender I work with hundreds of realtors each year and Tracy has stood out as a top agent that has her clients' best interests in mind every step of the way. Highly recommend her for anyone looking to buy or sell a home.- Jake Lambro, Home Lender
If you are looking for someone who will not only help you purchase or sell a house but are looking for someone to really listen and then act on your family's needs and desires, then stop here. Tracy has this amazing energy and ability to make connections with people that will put you at the top of offers if you are trying to purchase in this crazy current market. Tracy goes above and beyond what other agents do without even being asked. In our case she offered to drive back out (45 mins one way) to show a property a second time to my husband who had to work that day. She didn't want him to miss out on seeing it! A previous house she brought an assistant to video a walk through and it was so good my husband was willing to put an offer in without even walking into it. When it came time to put an offer in she did the legwork of finding us a home inspector who could come ASAP! Tracy constantly kept me up to date on what was going on in the process and checked in on my mental being many times. Who does that in today's world? Ultimately, Tracy helped us win our dream property and if we were ever to choose to go for a different dream I would not hesitate to use her to sell it! If you are looking for not just for an agent but for someone who cares about your experience and your family, please contact Tracy Vanderlinda.- Ryan and Jessica Soper, Buyer
Tracy Vanderlina is a top notch realtor. She recently listed and sold an investment property for us within 48 hours and several offers. Tracy jumped through so many hoops to get this transaction completed in such a short amount of time. She's not only amazing at what she does, she's a very kind and caring individual!- Jenn Anderson, Seller
We feel so blessed to have found Tracy. We can’t express how happy we are with her services. We have never met a real estate agent like her, who has turned out to be the real deal for us. Not only is she friendly, approachable, and very knowledgeable in homes in the area, she has also gone above and beyond her call of duty. I wish all real estate agents were like Tracy. From day one, we were in California entertaining the idea about moving to Gig Harbor. She got on calls with us and told us what areas, shared videos of the area, information about the schools, and we should look into and avoid. When we found homes online, she and her husband went out of their way to record a video walk through of the home and property and neighborhood. When we bid on homes, and signed for the home, she was there for us every step of the way. We even drove up in an RV and stayed in an RV park, and she was there to pick us from the RV park to get the signing done. When it was all said and done, she could have just gone on her merry way, but she didn’t. She even checked on our home as we were months out on moving to Washington. If we were ever in need of purchasing a new home or rental property, we would definitely be using Tracy in the future.- David and Rosa Alejo, Buyers
There are not enough words to describe our experience working with Tracy. I'll simply say she's the best we've experienced. First and foremost, she's a people person through and through. She's kind, caring and genuine. If she didn't know the answer to a question, she'd tell you she didn't know and would go and do the work to find out. That's another characteristic we admired about Tracy, her trustworthiness and work ethic. If you care about customer service, about being treated as human and being treated right, especially during the long arduous process that is buying/selling your home, you'll choose Tracy and her team. We're grateful that we found her, and even more grateful for her friendship.- Leo & Irene Blanco, Buyers & Sellers
We were looking for an agent who would be actively engaged in our home search, going the extra mile. The morning we met Tracy we knew instantly that we needed her to represent us. She is an excellent listener and tuned in to our criteria. She knows Gig Harbor inside out, understands the market in these crazy times, made inquiries on our behalf, and promptly responded to our questions. If she doesn't know the answer, she knows someone who does. In this trying market for buyers, she was always realistic, but also hopeful. We could not have found our home without Tracy.- Paul and Linda Felcyn, Buyers
Tracy did an amazing job while helping us find out first home! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a home in the Puget Sound area. Thanks again Tracy!- Jon & Jenna Radebough, Buyers
We reached out to Tracy when a move from California was pending. From the exploratory home showings months before the move through handing us the keys to our home Tracy was a true professional. She offered us wise counsel that helped us get a fabulous deal in a hot market. We are telling all our friends that if they are looking for a hard working agent who is committed to getting a great price that they should absolutely hire Tracy!- Kerri Kopnick & Nic Han, Buyers
We contacted Tracy last year after we received her mailer. We were interested in selling our Campen Spring condo the following summer. Tracy kept in contact with us and went to work May 1st. She helped manage repairs, staging and the unit was listed June 1st as she planned. We got an offer the same day and closed less than 30 days. We highly recommend Tracy because she is an excellent communicator, she follows up and does what she says will be done.- L’Tanya Terrell-Jones and Mike Jones, Sellers
Tracy is an amazing realtor. As first time home buyers, the process was stress free and extremely smooth. From the time we met, she was honest, accessible, and treated us like family with our best interest in mind.- John Ha and Melissa Yan, Buyers
Tracy has helped with the purchase of a couple of properties in Pierce and Kitsap counties. She is very responsive, hard working and excellent attention to details with tons of local knowledge. Highly recommend!- David Fuller, Buyer
Tracy is one of the most hard working and honest people I know. She is an expert when it comes to the housing market and will go the extra mile to help her clients. She was certainly there for me when the prospects of getting out of a rental and into my own home looked rather gloomy. I appreciated her being honest and straight forward with me about my buying options. I was "out bid" on several offers put in on potential homes and I was almost ready to give up. Tracy's positive and upbeat personality would not allow me to get discouraged and she was determined to find the prefect house for me. Well, she found it, and with her negations my offer was accepted. Financing was easy and all I had to do was move in. Needless to say, I would recommend Tracy Vanderlinda to anyone anytime if they are looking for a true professional.- Larry Weldon, Buyer
Tracy was the best realtor I have ever worked with! She really cares about her clients!!! At every turn she was there to guide me! She handles any problem no matter how big or small! We were in a bad situation and needed to find a home ASAP and Tracy was Jonny on the spot!- Janis Fellers, Buyer
If you are looking to sell or buy a home, hire Tracy. We did just that and it was such a pleasurable experience. She helped us quickly purchase a wonderful home in Gig Harbor in a competitive market. Tracy’s creative marketing, her professionalism and attention to detail helped sell our Ollala home within two days of listing after receiving multiple offers. We felt at ease from start to finish on both transactions and loved working with Tracy. We absolutely will be recommending her to our friends and family.- Frank and Janis Pupo, Buyers and Sellers
Tracy did a wonderful job for us. Purchasing a home from out of state, Tracy was our eyes and ears. She took the time to go back and forth, measuring and videoing the home for us. From the beginning, we felt like she was looking out for our best interest. She took the time to answer all our questions. If we had concerns, she walked along side of us to figure it out. In addition to her expertise and knowledge of real-estate, she is kind and trustworthy. Tracy has become a member of our family, and she is the perfect woman to get the job done. We highly recommend Tracy Vanderlinda.- Christine Civiletti, Buyer
Tracy helped me get the PERFECT house for my little family site unseen by myself as I was relocating to WA from Texas. She knew it was going to be extremely competitive in the summer market to get a sought after rambler in an AMAZING school district. So through strategic negotiating and good communication with the listing agent, she beat out other offers and got us our new home!! She also partnered me with an extremely knowledgeable and efficient financing partner (which is SO important!) that helped the deal go through without any issue. Thank you Tracy for getting us back to Washington! We couldn't have done it without you!- Jaclyn Garner, Buyer
We highly recommend Tracy for your buying or selling needs. She went above and beyond to ensure we found our home. We really appreciate how open minded she was to what we were looking for and jumped at every opportunity to resource information we had requested. Tracy really made us feel not just like important clients but family and that means more than she will ever know. If you want a positive experience on the Pierce/Kitsap county area Tracy is your lady!!!- Tony & Sage Moffat, Buyers

Tracy is the most supportive agent I could ever ask for. She listened to my ideas, needs, and met our expectations. She came to my job to have me sign papers. I never had to go out of my way. She was always there. Tracy is the best and I would recommend her to anyone. She’s wonderful!- Virginia Knox, Seller
Tracy Vanderlinda did a wonderful job marketing my condo. We had multiple offers, and within a week it sold well over the asking price.

Fantastic experience. She lead us to our new home and sold our old in very short order. Very professional and focused. She treated us like family.- -Shane and Angie Vanderlinda, Buyers and Sellers
She is so energetic, caring, knowledgeable and motivated. She's always a few steps ahead, thinks outside the box and worked overtime to ensure we found our dream home - which we did thanks to Tracy 🙂 We had some bumps along the way with crazy counter offers and lost bids but she never gave up and always had a smile and many options regardless of each outcome; I can't imagine having anyone else on our team throughout the homebuying process (especially as first-time homebuyers!)- Anna & Paul Dickhoff, Buyers
Tracy is a dream-home come true with a Sparkle in her eyes! She helped me get MY sparkle back! Tracy saw my vision and delivered it with love and class! My vision transformed over time we explored houses and ‘remodeling projects’. Tracy lives, listens and acts from her heart! An AMAZING trifecta! And she has many others up her sleeve! I sent her a list of my needs and wants in a house. And she sent me a couple lenders for me to look into. Fabulous!! I love choices! She kept up with my evolving vision and magically had a many relevant new listing waiting for me in my txt messages.. she kept me looped in. Tracy’s energy and enthusiasm for life is contagious and she LOVES LOVES LOVES her path in helping families find homes. And she knocks it outta the park!!- Dee Dee Rusch, Buyer
From the moment we met Tracy we knew she was the one we wanted to list our home and find us a home in Gig Harbor. Her warm personality and professional knowledge in the industry was evident from the start. We met Tracy almost 2 years ago in Gig Harbor to help us on our journey selling our home in Auburn, WA and purchasing a home in Gig Harbor, WA. Tracy was key helping us sell our home and locating to Gig Harbor in a timely manner. Tracy is professional in every aspect and creates wonderful relationships along the way. Her attention to details is remarkable and she works around the clock for her customers. We are so happy with our new home in Gig Harbor and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.- Tanya and Jim Rottle, Buyers and Sellers
I could not and would not have had a better home buying experience if I didn't have Tracy! I've worked with Tracy to sell and purchase multiple homes and each time she went above and beyond to ensure everything went as smoothly as possible - and it did! Her knowledge and expertise in the industry, coupled with her compassion and thoughtfulness helped to ensure I just purchased the home of my dreams - especially in the current market! You definitely want an agent that knows the ropes, the ins and outs, of home buying and selling, and provides next-level support throughout the process - so contact Tracy. You won't meet a better agent, I can promise you that 🙂- Anna Plate, Buyer and Seller
