Tracy is Back!

Tracy James

You probably remember Tracy James from when she worked here in Friday Harbor as a mortgage lender between 1995 and 2004. We’ll she’s back – and has a new office for Eagle Home Mortgage in the Sundries Court building on Spring Street (better known as the Jeri’s Mall building).

Tracy used to visit the islands with friends back in the ’80s and always had very fond memories of this place. Eventually, in 1992 she moved here. Her daughter Hallie was just starting in Kindergarten at that time. Fast forward 12 years – Hallie graduated from FHHS, and Tracy was ready for a vacation, so off she went to Paris where she ended up staying for 10 years! During that time she had many adventures including leading charter boat tours around the Greek Islands, and leading bicycle tours in Ireland.

In Paris she helped English speaking people find their dream properties in France. Using what little French she knew (she calls it “restaurant French”), she was able to convey to Paris realtors exactly what her clients were looking for, and her boss said she was “batting 1000”.

But in 2014 she came back to be closer to her family. She contacted her old manager who was thrilled to hear from her, and they ended up opening an office for her right here in Friday Harbor again. So in October she opened the office where she can now help with all your Mortgage needs, from refi’s to loan products for first-time-buyers, etc. And she would like everyone to know that in addition to regular business hours, she is also available on weekends if necessary.
