Tracy Ballard 

Broker-Officer

DRE #01870837

Tracy has been providing rental services in the Bay Area for property owners since 2009. She purchased her first property at age 22 and that’s when she discovered her passion for real estate! Tracy has owned and managed rental properties for herself and her family for the last 20+ years. This experience gives her the perspective of the property owner in every transaction.


She was born and raised in Alaska and obtained her Business Management degree at University of Alaska. Yes, it’s cold there, and she’s not planning to move back. Living in San Francisco is her dream come true. When she’s not running from one property to another for her clients, she is enjoying everything California has to offer, from the food, art and music scene in San Francisco, to various wine regions all around the state.


As an experienced property owner and third-generation real estate agent, Tracy’s exceptional organizational skills and attention to detail ensure that all her client’s needs are met, while attaining the best rents possible with the highest quality tenants. 


She donates a portion of every leasing commission earned towards the construction of new homes for families in need through a non-profit called Home-for-a-Home. So far her donations have funded several homes for families in Guatemala. 


Landlords who work with her feel confident that Tracy is the right gal to get the job done!
