After living in Mexico for a bit, I returned to Denver to work as a property management That position opened the door to the world of real estate and took me on a wild journey.
Family has always been a big deal to me. As a kid, I spent summers at a mountain house in Colorado, swimming in lakes and making memories with my parents, brother and friends. Those moments became the foundation of my belief that a home is more than just a structure—it’s a place where cherished memories are built. That value would come in handy in my role as a REALTOR®, a role that arrived in a later season of my life.
I studied recreational resource management in college, but right after graduating, I found myself working at Wells Fargo. It wasn’t exactly the job I had envisioned, but like many, I was figuring things out. From there, I moved into administrative work at an environmental consulting firm, handling many different documents and paperwork. I ended up working for several different consulting firms, managing administration and corporate travel.
After a difficult breakup, I needed a change. My family had a timeshare in Cabo San Lucas, and we traveled there every year. It was a place of comfort, so I packed my bags and spent some time living there, selling timeshares and reassessing what I wanted from life. After a brief stay, I returned to Denver and landed a job in commercial property management.
Life took another turn when I met someone in the mortgage industry and began dating seriously; this relationship would shift my life forever. My partner convinced me to move to California with him to support his business, but when it didn’t work out, we relocated to Florida. He decided to get his real estate license and encouraged me to do the same so we could work as a team.
Looking back, I now know it’s a bad idea to work with a romantic partner when the relationship is already on shaky ground. We lived together, worked together, and things between us only worsened. Maybe deep down, I wanted to believe it would all work out when I agreed to marry him in 2012, but almost immediately, I found myself asking, “What have I done?”
Our relationship spiraled into toxicity, and my self-worth plummeted. By then, I was a full-time REALTOR®, but I lacked self-confidence and didn’t feel worthy of anything better. I was stuck in a cycle of doubt and low self-esteem.
That’s when I met Moe. He became my friend, my sounding board, and a source of encouragement. He saw my situation for what it was and reminded me of my value. He built me up and helped me regain my confidence. In 2014, I got a divorce, and soon after, Moe and I became a couple.
We moved to Arizona so I could be closer to my parents as they got older. It was the fresh start I needed. Arnold, my broker, welcomed me onto his team, and I’ve had the privilege of being a REALTOR® here in Arizona. For fun, I’m an avid golfer and enjoy the social scene in Pebble Creek, playing bocce ball with fellow residents. But above all, I cherish my time with Moe. We sit in the pool for hours, just talking. He’s my best friend and I’m beyond grateful for his love and encouragement. We’re also regular church attendees, and I’ve had the honor of serving as a compassion leader.
My journey has taken many unexpected turns—jobs, moves, and rocky relationships—but through it all, I’ve learned the importance of taking life one day at a time. Presence is a gift, and when we get too caught up in the past or future, we lose our way. So, I focus on today and leave tomorrow for tomorrow.
Buying or selling a home is a major life event, and I love being the person who guides my clients through it. I’m a relational REALTOR® who takes the time to truly understand my clients—not just their immediate needs, but their long-term goals as well. This isn’t just a transaction; it’s about their future, and I make sure they feel heard, valued, and supported every step of the way.
Real estate can be an emotional process, and I take pride in making it as smooth as possible. With strong negotiation skills and a keen ability to read people, I ensure my clients' best interests are protected. When working with couples, I take the time to listen to both partners, ensuring they feel equally involved.
For me, building lasting relationships is the priority. I’m not commission-driven, and I never rush my clients into a decision. I want them to feel confident and at peace with their choices. Even after closing, I stay in touch because I genuinely care about their happiness in their new home.
Sincerely,
Tracey Sibelius-Moran
REALTOR®
