Having recently experienced the passing of my parents; I was faced with the daunting task of putting their house for sale, this after 46 years of living in the same house. After interviewing countless of Real Estate agents, I met Tracy Hennessy of Gibson International. If you believe that God connects you with the right people, then allow me to say Tracy was my angel sent to help me! Tracy also grew up in Santa Monica and is extremely knowledgeable having over 25 years of experience as a Real Estate agent. Tracy really understood and empathized with my situation and carefully walked me through the process and shared her views to maximize the sale of my parent’s home. Within days after the open house Tracy was not only able to find a buyer for my parent’s home; but negotiated for more than the asking price! Tracy is dependable and professional having a group of people that assisted me in the preparation to sell. Tracy was immediately responsive to my calls, text or emails at all hours of the day and night. Returning home at 10 pm one night I called Tracy in a panic because my garage door broke, no problem Tracy had it fixed the next morning. The end result is Tracy makes herself available at any time, returning my phone calls within the hour to help! There was absolutely no pressure and always made me feel secure with any decision. My reason for selling while sad was very smooth with Tracy. I realize we all have choices, I’m thankful Tracy Hennessy was the right choice for me; she is amazing and I know she can help sell or buy your home, I’m proof positive of that.

We are extraordinarily happy with our home buying experience with Tracey Hennessey. We looked for a Condo/ home in the Santa Monica / Venice area. We had been in the market for about 8-9 months and have met many other agents along the ways. I decided to look online for an agent with great reviews. Still, I didn't know what to expect but after making one telephone call, I hired Tracey Hennessey as our buying agent. We noticed a difference right away when we started working with her. She spent time getting to know our needs and then showed us only relevant listings, continuing to listen to what we had to say. While the market was heating up, she was patient and never pressured us to get into a house that wasn't right for us. During the buying process she continued to impress us with her attention to detail to the things that we may have overlooked. She educated us about what to look for in a neighborhood-schools, crime rate, neighbors, etc. She was immediately responsive to our calls/emails at all hours of the day and night. In the end, we found a Condo with great view and she was aggressive but reasonable throughout the inspection and buying process. Ms. Tracy was able to help us in buying our condo within record six months If you're a buyer in this ridiculous market, there's not a lot of room for error, so you need an ally you can trust. I would choose Tracey Hennessey again in a heartbeat.

My wife and I were moving from New York to California and looking to buy a house here. Though we had purchased real estate in NY before, the process in CA was very different and completely unfamiliar. Tracey spent a lot of time with us and did a great job of explaining where things were different and making us feel comfortable that we were handling everything properly. When we found a house we loved, but with a difficult seller, Tracey was great, and at times seemed more willing to walk away than we were. This was true even when we nearly had a deal-breaking issue right at the finish line. We never felt any pressure from her to go ahead in order to close a deal. Also, because we were moving from so far away, we necessarily leaned on Tracey a lot for logistical issues along the way. She could not have been more accommodating and helpful, both before and after the deal was completed. I can’t emphasize this point enough. She was a huge help to us, and always happy to run over to the house whenever we needed her to. Her no-pressure approach and eagerness to help any way she can make you feel that Tracey cares and is interested in a long-term relationship, not just earning a commission. My wife and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking at SoCal real estate.

I am so pleased to have the chance to recommend Tracey Hennessey on this site. She is a gem and I am glad I found her. She is terrific at her job and is a pleasure to work with her on a personal level. A few years ago Tracey helped me to buy my very first home. She taught me exactly what to look for, what to avoid, what questions to ask, what to expect and how to manage an incredible amount of complex information. She knows that home buying can be an emotional and stressful experience as well as a happy one. She is honest, she understands how to hear what her clients want and also knows when and how to open their eyes to things they had not considered before. She helped me find my perfect first home and negotiate a great price. I was in a "bidding war" at the time and Tracey knew exactly what I had to do and say - over and above my financial offer - to get that home. Since then, she helped me sell that place and buy another. I have recommended her to several friends and they have all been very grateful that I did. I highly recommend Tracey and as long as I am in Southern California I will never use another real estate agent.

As a first time home buyer, I was shocked at all the things that I needed to consider. Where do I want to live? What are these HOA fees and what do they cover? And what exactly is crown molding? I was muddling my way through it when I walked by a condo with Tracey Hennessey’s name on it. She was so nice and helpful over the phone that I decided to give her a try. I am so glad I did! Tracey is a wonderful agent. She took the time to explore different neighborhoods and properties with me so that I could figure out what I was looking. I never felt pressured or pushed in any direction. When I finally found the property that I wanted, Tracey made sure it was a good property and walked me through the home buying process step by step and made sure I paid a fair price. Tracey was very accessible during the process and was always a phone call or an email away. I found her to be a very genuine, honest, and caring person who is excellent at what she does. If I were ever to buy or sell, I would definitely go with Tracey again.

I would like to recommend Tracy Hennessey Real Estate Agent for Gibson International located on the Westside. I have known Ms. Hennessey for several years and she has always been competent and well trained. She showed her experience in her profession in these last three months when we went through a rental property transaction. She was thorough in her work and followed through with all her commitments. Phone calls, appointments etc. She was enthusiastic in getting the property sold ASAP. She followed through all the requirements that had to be met and had them completed on dates as promised. Her effort and hard work turned a necessity into a reality within half the time we had proposed to sell the property. We recommend her highly if you are in the process of selling or buying a parcel. You will not be disappointed.

After 2 years and 2 failed relationships with inexperienced and unmotivated realtors we found Tracey Hennessey! Tracey eagerly worked with us to find our dream vacation home! After just a few trips to view potential properties Tracey was in negotiations on what would be our future home. We closed a few weeks ago! Tracey is so Highly regarded by every listing agent and I’m not exaggerating! It's the number one reason we were the accepted offer on our home! Working with Tracey is effortless! She’s professional to the bone, thorough, efficient and was an absolute joy to work with! We would highly highly recommend Tracey Hennessey. I wholeheartedly believe we'd still be looking for a home if we hadn’t found Tracey!

We recently bought our second house in Santa Monica through Tracey (first one was five years ago). In both cases she was exceptionally helpful all throughout the process. We had challenges at several points during the most recent deal and Tracey helped us navigate all the issues while keeping everyone (us and the seller) focused on the big picture goal of successfully completing the transaction. I also felt extremely confident in Tracey's mastery of the details. Notably she caught an important mistake by the escrow company at the very last minute when everyone was rushing to get the transaction completed. My wife and I would strongly recommend Tracey to anyone in need of a good real estate agent!

Buyer & Seller

I have been working with Tracey Hennessey since moving to LA in 2001. During that time, she has been my real estate agent for the sale of 3 and the purchase of 4 homes (during both the up market and the down market). Simply put, I have no need to work with anyone else. She understands me (not always easy to do), she knows the west side backwards and forwards, and she is instrumental in managing the process from start to finish and the inevitable negotiations. She has kept me sane during some stressful, yet successful sales and purchases (sometimes simultaneously). I highly recommend her.

We are so pleased we used Tracey for our home purchase and sale. We keep going back to Tracey with each real estate transaction because she truly is an expert on the market, neighborhoods, and her attention to every detail. Tracey has wonderful pricing and negotiation instincts. We felt confident that we were making the right decisions with her guidance. Tracey is a super realtor. Fun to work with, professional, extremely insightful and a great problem-solver. She helped alleviated roadblocks and issues throughout the process. I highly recommend Tracey! Love our new home.
