Espada named VP of resort rentals management

Tracey Espada, a real estate professional with more than 15 years of real estate experience, has been named vice president of Long & Foster Real Estate’s resort rentals management division in New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland, including Deep Creek Lake. Espada previously led the Rehoboth Beach and Lewes offices for Long & Foster, the largest independent residential real estate company in the United States and the number one seller of luxury homes in the Mid-Atlantic.

“I’m thrilled to join Long & Foster’s resort rentals division, which is well known and respected by vacationers and residents throughout the Mid-Atlantic region,” said Espada. “I’m confident that the combination of my experience and the help of our amazing resort team, we’ll be able to expand our market presence in New Jersey, Maryland and Delaware and continue to provide the highest quality rental and management services.”

Espada joined Long & Foster as a sales associate in the early 1990s. As manager of the Lewes and Rehoboth Beach offices, Espada led a team of about 75 agents. She focused heavily on business and relationship development, emphasizing the importance of educating clients on the market and providing superior customer service through all stages of the homeownership experience.

Before managing Long & Foster’s Lewes and Rehoboth Beach offices, Espada ran a boutique real estate and vacation rental company in Ocean City, Md., for a few years. She also worked at Long & Foster’s Deep Creek Lake office in McHenry, Md., for almost a decade, rising through the ranks from associate broker to branch manager. In her new role, Espada will lead Long & Foster’s resort rentals team, supervising the management of the area’s more than 1,700 accounts and growing the company’s overall vacation rental business.

Espada is active with her local realtor associations. She has belonged to the Sussex County Association of Realtors MLS Committee since 2012 and has held several leadership positions with the Garrett County Board of Realtors. Espada also is a member of the National Association of Realtors, the Delaware Association of Realtors, the Women’s Council of Realtors and the Real Estate Buyer’s Agent Council.
