About McDermott & McDermott

McDermott & McDermott Real Estate opened in 2002, but owner Tracy McDermott started selling real estate in 1992 under the tutelage of the late Marilyn Snyder and Coldwell Banker Howell Jones Realtors. “I had a really good start working with Marilyn,” Tracy said. “I respected her work ethic. She taught me how to run a business.”

“When I started working in real estate I had two children, no husband, and no car,” she noted. “Real estate is a wonderful profession because someone from a modest background can do this and make a nice life for themselves.”

“We care about our customers — it is more important that they are number one than we are,” she said. “Real estate is all about working with people, and that is how I would like to think our office presents itself.”

McDermott & McDermott specializes in foreclosed properties, which provides a substantial savings for the buyer. “I like to turn properties back into the community,” Tracy said. “Besides, it is a good opportunity for people to buy their first home.”

Always hopeful that her customers will have had a positive experience, Tracy enjoys seeing her clients return when the need arises.

“Word of mouth is what it’s all about here at McDermott & McDermott,” she concluded. “Real estate is endless — I’m hoping that my children will want to come into the business one day because there is beauty in tradition.”
