Originally from Upstate NY, I moved to Charlotte in 1996. I obtained my Bachelor's Degree in both English and Elementary Education while playing college softball and basketball. Being involved in sports has taught me an incredible work ethic and is a large part of who I am today with my team work mentality.

Being a previous Elementary School Teacher in Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools taught me patience and mentoring skills that are priceless to this profession and to the growth of other agents in the office.

Serving both NC and SC, buyers and sellers, as well as connecting friends and family with REALTORS in their locations across the country and internationally, has been a passion of mine since getting licensed in 1998.

I pride myself on customer service, efficiency, responsiveness, resourcefullness, education, patience, results and overall communication. These attributes have allowed me to be successful doing something I LOVE to do every day.

Technology is everchanging and is changing our profession tremendously. Although most are averse to change, I consistently try to "keep up with the times" and enjoy watching others embrace the changes as well.

This is a fantastic and challenging career, I work for the best company in Charlotte and have a great support team. It is truly an honor to be able to make a difference in people's lives daily!

Whether you're buying or selling a home, I am dedicated to bringing you the service and attention to detail you deserve. The housing market can sometimes be difficult to navigate and that's why you need someone on your team – assuring you make the best financial decision for you and your family.

Your Real Estate Agent's job is not simply finding or selling property. I chose a path in real estate for the relationship's and unique opportunity to enrich other's lives. Buying or selling property is quite often the largest transaction an individual or couple can make and I do not take this responsibility lightly.

Majoring in Communications at Arizona State University sharpened my skills in facilitating productive discussions. Paired with my patience and understanding of the process, you will be at ease knowing I am here to carry the burden and stresses.

Making the move from the arid desert of Arizona to the lush greenery of the Triangle gave me insight on the perils that come from relocation. Let me take the pain out of the process and feel confident knowing that your home buying experience will be one of exhilaration instead of tension.

“I'll get you moving!” is not just a moniker we use here at Allen Tate. Real Estate aside, I am part of one of the greatest companies in the Carolina's. Let me use the boundless tools at my disposal to show you the difference with Allen Tate Realtors!

I LOVE living in the metro Charlotte, North Carolina area and serving my community through real estate. Having moved to North Carolina in the late 70's, I am a true southern transplant. I have been in the Charlotte area for the majority my life, relocating back here two times with a previous employer.

During my corporate career, I moved throughout the southeast to AL, SC, FL and GA before heading home to the Carolina's and my family and I have been back in the Charlotte Metro area since 2001. I now bring my extensive background in customer service and my personal experience in both buying and selling relocation to the real estate world.

In 2007 I took the plunge and made the change to Real Estate. Yes, I knew that it would be a tough move and the market was beginning to decline but it was an easy step to take to pursue my life fulfilling dream. It has been a wonderful experience helping people fulfill their dreams. I feel fortunate that I am now in a career in which I am blessed daily.

If you are looking for a Realtor who knows Charlotte and the surrounding areas, I am the one! I grew up locally, and I feel that it has helped me become an expert on this market. Additionally, I am committed to customer service and believe buying or selling a home should be a stress-free process.

I enjoy both aspects of the business and work with buyers and sellers. I would appreciate the opportunity to speak with you about the Charlotte real estate market. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.

I am always searching for energetic and ethical professionals to help grow our Winston-Salem team. You can either email me or call me at 336-580-7556.

To help you know me better, here is a brief description of my background:

I have been a REALTOR® for 20 years, joining the Allen Tate Company in 2002 and spending the last 13 years in leadership & branch management.

I am a member of the Winston-Salem Regional Association of REALTORS, where I chair the Education Committee.  Prior to joining WSRAR, I served 14 years with the Greensboro Regional REALTORS Association, serving in various capacities, including Treasurer, Board of Directors Member, RPAC Chair, Social Committee Chair, GRRA Foundation Board & Triad Multiple Listing Service (MLS)Board.

As an agent I was the recipient of the Rookie of the Year, Master’s Circle, President’s Club and the Realty Alliance Sales Awards. I have also earned my GRI, ABR, CRS, SPS and e-Pro designations. My business was focused primarily in Greensboro and Guilford County.

My community involvement has included working with the United Way Volunteer Board and serving on the Guilford Education Alliance Board of Directors.

Prior to entering real estate, I worked in the fields of community & educational development, training, association management and sales.

I am one of those relocated Northerners! Originally from Ohio, I lived many years in upstate New York. And I don’t miss the snow! Free time finds me reading, walking, creating needlework projects, spending time with my husband and cheering on my favorite Cleveland sports teams and the Ohio State Buckeyes.

Scott MacIntosh is branch leader and broker in charge for the Allen Tate Blowing Rock/Boone office, where he oversees a team of more than 20 experience real estate agents. 

A native of Enfield, Connecticut, Scott earned a degree in physical therapy from Northeastern University in Boston, Mass. He enjoyed a successful career designing spa/fitness centers for the hospitality industry, with projects in Miami, Nassau and St. Lucia. He later worked in operations management for Carnival Cruise Lines, overseeing 14 ships and four resorts in the Caribbean and Alaska. 

Scott began his real estate career buying, renovating and selling properties while working in Miami. He began working with Blowing Rock Investment Properties in 2005 and established the firm as a market leader throughout Blowing Rock, Boone and the surrounding region. In 2019, Blowing Rock Investment Properties was acquired by Allen Tate Realtors, marking the company’s entry into the High Country region. 

He serves on the MLS board of directors for the High Country Association of Realtors, and supports community organizations including the Watauga Humane Society, Appalachian State University and the High Country Breast Cancer Foundation. 

Denise Morrison said “I think leadership is service and there is power in that giving: to help people, to inspire and motivate them to reach their fullest potential.” This is such an accurate description of the connection I have to the fantastic group of agents I am privileged to work with each and every day.

After a successful two-decade career of assisting clients with the listing and purchasing of properties in the Triad, I happily moved into the position of branch leadership with Allen Tate Realtors.

As the sales manager for the Allen Tate Greensboro branch, I am afforded the opportunity to hire, lead, train and counsel the agents that have chosen to be a part of the best real estate company in the industry.

North Carolina has always been home for me and as long as I can remember, I always wanted to be a teacher. Meredith College gave me the opportunity to pursue that career goal and I taught high school English in Eastern NC. Life changes brought me to Raleigh and a career in real estate allowed me to continue my love for teaching. For more than 30 years, I have had the privilege to coach and mentor sales people, challenging them to provide excellence to their clients.

My role as Regional Sales Manager of the Raleigh-Falls of Neuse office allows me to blend my passion for learning with the commitment Allen Tate Realtors makes to invest in their sales team from Day One. I couldn’t have a better job. Each and every day I get to watch my team strive to provide extraordinary service to their clients.

My father taught me that serving your community through volunteerism was an expectation. I believe I have honored that by serving as chair of the Triangle Sales and Marketing Council, on the Board of Trustees at Meredith College and on the leadership team for the Orange Chatham Association of Realtors.

Having balance in your life is critical and family is most important.  I have three sons and a daughter-in-law who live in Raleigh and a miniature golden doodle named Connor. I love to cook, walk each day, read a good book and enjoy time with family and friends.

At Allen Tate, we are making a difference every day. We believe in giving back to community, supporting public education and helping clients achieve the American Dream of Homeownership. If you are thinking about a career in real estate or looking for an incredible Realtor, give us a call or stop by and say hello.

Tracey earned her North Carolina Real Estate License in 1998, with the South Carolina License coming soon after.

"I Want You To Love Where You Live!"

Real estate is so much more than a transaction. I care about clients and realtors and take a personal interest in their wants and needs. I feel very grateful to work for a company that provides excellent training and resources to their agents. Whether clients are leaving the area with the sale of their home, new to the area and trying to find the perfect space, or just moving down the street because they are ready for a change, as a company we have a vested interest in helping them achieve their goals.

I have two passions, education and real estate! I graduated from the University of South Carolina and as a former educator of middle school students, I understand that giving people knowledge, builds trust and confidence. I think it is important to build trust in the workplace, as well as with the clients we serve. My idea of a successful real estate agent is one that truly has their clients best interest at heart. Relationships do not end at the closing table. Whether it be giving them a remodeling reference, providing them with maintenance tips, or keeping them up to date on the value of their home, our agents continue to be a resource to clients for years to come.

Personally, I have an amazing support team that helps keep me motivated. My husband and daughters fuel my energy and keep me rejuvenated and focused. I am up at 5:00am every morning at Burn Boot camp and I run a 5K or 10K, here and there. But most importantly, I love college football! GO GAMECOCKS, this is our year! (I say that every year, can't blame a girl for trying right?...)

Homes are more than just places where we lay our heads. We build memories, raise families, and find comfort there. Whether you want lots of space out in the country, want to be right in the action of the city, or somewhere in between, we have agents that can make you LOVE WHERE YOU LIVE!!!
