Renter to Homeowner 101
with Tracy Cox

Buying a home can be a stressful ordeal, especially for 1st time homebuyers. This class will walk you through the process of the entire transaction and prepare you for the joy of homeownership.
BIO
Hi, I am Tracy Cox, a real estate agent with ERA Doty in Mountain Home, where I have been passionately helping clients since 2020. My journey began when I relocated to this beautiful area with my husband and our two fur babies. With a background in customer service and problem-solving, I strive to make the real estate process smooth and stress-free for my clients.
As an active member of the community, I volunteer with local outreach programs and serve as an ambassador for the Mountain Home Chamber of Commerce. I hold the Accredited Buyers Representative (ABR) and Pricing Strategy Advisor (PSA) designations from the National Association of Realtors, reflecting my commitment to staying informed in this ever-changing market.
I derive great joy from assisting individuals in achieving their real estate dreams, whether it’s finding their ideal home or collaborating with local leaders to enhance our community. When I’m not working, I enjoy outdoor activities like boating and kayaking with my family and spending time with my three wonderful grankids, who call me Nana.
I look forward to sharing valuable insights on the journey from renter to homeowner and helping you navigate the path to owning your own home.
