When Traci Brauner first moved to Franklin Farm, a large development in Herndon/Oak Hill, VA in Fairfax County, and began a career in real estate she came by our house twice to introduce herself. The second time she brought my wife a rose and my wife commented that if we ever decided to sell our house, she wanted that young lady to do it. My wife passed away in December and when I decided to sell the house where we had lived for 43 years, I called Traci who by this time had become known as the "Queen of Franklin Farm Real Estate". When she came for the initial interview, we bonded immediately as I'm a retired Naval officer and Traci also served our country as a Naval officer. She is a wonderful young lady who is very professional while being friendly and exceptionally knowledgeable about real estate. She explained in detail the real estate market currently in the U.S., in the DMV (Washington DC/Maryland/Virginia), Fairfax County and finally in Franklin Farm. She guided me through the entire process with almost daily contacts and made excellent recommendations on how to proceed. I wanted to sell my house "as is" and she agreed to do that with some minor cleaning/repairs, etc. And BTW, she has her own list of people that do repair, cleaning, lawns, etc., etc. All I had to do was say "Yes or No" to her recommendations and now that the sale is complete, I can't remember ever saying "No." During the process I learned about Traci's strong family ties and now I can count her as a true friend. For anyone wanting an excellent realtor who knows Fairfax County, VA you cannot find someone better to represent your house than Traci. The proof I give you is that my house went on sale on a Friday and by noon on Monday Traci presented me with 4 offers. I chose the one that was $40,000 OVER the listed price. Then, Traci walked me through all the steps involving closing, insurance, utilities and most important to me, the transfer of money from the Title Company to my account. Thanks, Traci, for all your work. Warm regards, Al
