Keller Williams Realty awarded Traci Human with the “The Best Human We Know” award in 2021 for being such a kind and caring person. She was also selected as the company’s 2018 Cultural Ambassador for the Southwest Region because of her passion for giving back to the community. Ask anyone who knows Traci, and they will express what a kind human she truly is. She exudes happiness and has a sweet nature that shows her passion for life and people.
For example, this past holiday season, when she devoted her fundraising efforts to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and continuously volunteers for causes that are close to her heart, like advocating for women to get a mammogram and raising funds and awareness for breast cancer.
Human’s family left Florida to move to Las Vegas when she was seven years old. She quickly made the valley her home and never turned back.
Since Traci comes from a long line of very successful realtors, she enrolled in real estate school and passed the Nevada Real Estate exam at the young age of 17 to follow in her father’s footsteps. A self-proclaimed “people person,” Traci enjoys serving others by guiding them through one of the most important decisions of their lives, whether a condominium or a mansion.
Human currently resides in The Gardens and loves living in Summerlin. Previously, she and her husband raised their two sons in the McNeil neighborhood at Charleston Boulevard and Rancho Drive for more than 30 years. Her knowledge of the city’s neighborhoods and her great attention to detail gives her clients the advantage of having an “insider” working for them.
Over the last 35 years, Traci has participated in the valley’s growth and brings a wealth of knowledge to each transaction, providing excellent customer service to her clients. Keller Williams Realty Las Vegas agreed and, in 2022, named her the Top Company Agent, Top Las Vegas Agent, and Top Luxury Listing Agent with Luxury accreditation. In addition, she’s been recognized as one of the Top 25 Women in Real Estate by the Women’s Council of Realtors. Consistent production in the top 20 percent of KWRLV affords her the opportunity to sit on the Agent Leadership Council.
Here are some of Traci’s tips to weather the current real estate market:
· If you’re a buyer, you have an opportunity to take a breath and really think about whether you’re choosing the right property since the market has slowed down a bit.
· A professional home inspection is something you must do, whether buying an existing home or a new one. Be present and ask questions about the property. If you don’t approve the inspection report, do not buy the home.
· Your mortgage pre-approval is subject to a final evaluation of your financial situation. Pay down your debt; the less you owe at the time of purchase, the better.
· This market leaves much more room for negotiation; if you can offer a sizable down payment, you will have many more options.
· Don’t worry about current interest rates if you plan to stay in the house for a while. Lock in the best rate you can and consider refinancing down the road.
· The best seller is a highly motivated one. Price your home right! Competition is heating up as inventory increases.
· Make your home presentable: edit your décor to remove too many things on the walls and get a storage unit to put extra stuff as you declutter. That makes it easier for potential buyers to see themselves living there.
· Take care of minor repairs and paint as needed.
· Be patient.
If your goal is to boost the selling price, here are some projects to skip that won’t pay off:
· Extensive landscape
· Expensive light fixtures
· The latest electronics
· Wall-to-wall carpeting
· High-end chef’s kitchen
· Maintenance projects
Traci can help you determine what changes to your home will really pay off before selling.
