For over two decades, Tracy Otoka Cushman has been a trusted figure in the Eden Prairie real estate scene. With 22 years under her belt, Tracy is the owner and broker of Cushman Realty, a boutique real estate firm focused on personalized service and client education. Her journey into real estate started on a momentous day—September 11, 2001—as a general manager at Century 21. From that pivotal beginning, Tracy has shaped a career that is as much about helping people as it is about property.
Tracy isn’t just another real estate agent. She’s a guide, a teacher, and a partner in what can be one of the most significant financial decisions of a person’s life. Her approach is rooted in educating clients every step of the way, ensuring they understand the process, the players involved, and what to expect. From first-time homebuyers to seasoned investors, Tracy makes it a point to provide hands-on support without ever being pushy. This client-focused strategy has paid off. Tracy is proud to say that her business thrives on referrals..
Tracy’s commitment to community extends far beyond real estate. She was chosen by the Faces of Group to represent “The Faces of Eden Prairie,” a project inspired by her desire to highlight the people who make her city special. Whether it’s a local fireman, dog walker, or small business owner, Tracy uses her platform to tell their stories and foster a sense of local pride. This initiative also gives local businesses additional exposure through cross-promotion on websites and social media.
As an active member of the Eden Prairie Chamber of Commerce, Tracy gives back by volunteering with high school programs and mentoring interns. Her work with student-led capstone projects helps bridge the gap between education and the real world, offering teens invaluable experience and guidance.
Tracy runs Cushman Realty as a small but mighty operation. She personally oversees every transaction and doesn’t outsource her clients to junior agents. With listings ranging up $2 million, Tracy brings extensive market knowledge, local insights, and a personalized touch to every deal. Her commitment is not just to close a sale but to make sure her clients feel confident and cared for throughout the journey.
Eden Prairie isn’t just where Tracy works—it’s home. She knows the neighborhoods, the schools, the hidden gems, and the challenges of the local market, like the growing gap in housing affordability. Despite these challenges, she continues to advocate for smart investments and client-centered strategies, especially in a city where the average home price exceeds $500,000.
She loves the area’s extensive trail system, parks, and strong sense of community. To her, Eden Prairie is more than just a place to live—it’s a place where neighbors help neighbors and where diversity strengthens the fabric of daily life.
Tracy’s adaptability is one of her strongest assets. From surviving the 2008 housing crash to navigating today’s volatile interest rates, she knows how to pivot. Whether working with first-time buyers, investors, or downsizing boomers, her experience gives her clients a steady hand in changing times.
Tracy Otoka Cushman is more than a real estate agent. She’s a dedicated professional, a community connector, and a mentor. Her story is one of perseverance, passion, and people-first values. Whether you’re buying your first home or looking for a realtor who truly cares, Tracy is a name you can trust in Eden Prairie. To learn more about her and her business you can visit her website here.
