Meet Tracie Robertson, Managing Director of Ray White Parkes | Forbes | Condobolin | West Wyalong, and her daughter and clearing sales specialist, Maigan. Two women whose real estate journey is rooted in love, grit, and a deep mother-daughter bond.
Their story isn’t polished. It’s real. It's full of laughter, hustle, and those messy, meaningful moments that shape who we become.
Tracie didn’t set out to be in real estate. In fact, school wasn’t exactly her thing.
“I was always in trouble for talking too much,” she said.
Sales came calling. An aptitude test once told her she had “no aptitude for selling.” That only made her hungrier to prove it wrong.
Fast forward to today: Tracie is a seasoned pro with stories to match.
But Maigan? She never saw this coming.
“I didn’t plan on going into real estate,” she said. “In high school, it wasn’t even on the radar.”
But after a gap year spent working alongside her mum, something clicked. “I fell in love with it. I saw how hard she worked. What she built. And I wanted in.”
There was no pressure. No grand plan. Just a daughter who grew up in the thick of it and found her own way back.
Tracie remembers Maigan as a little helper; always kind, always wanting to be involved.
“She just wanted to help everyone and be nice to everybody,” Tracie recalled.
Maigan, meanwhile, grew up surrounded by phones ringing, open homes, and sticky notes slapped on glass.
“I remember crawling under dining tables during open inspections,” she laughed.
“And writing notes like ‘Get off the phone!’ and sticking them to the window while Mum was on a call.”
It wasn’t always glamorous. Tracie was juggling it all — clients, meetings, and motherhood.
“She was a great mum,” Maigan said.
“But she was so busy. Still is.” School pick-ups were sometimes missed. Time was tight.
“I didn’t get it back then,” Maigan said. “I’d be annoyed. But now I understand.”
Those tough moments planted the seeds of resilience. Maigan learned to think on her feet.
“Whenever there’s a problem now, my first thought is, ‘Let’s fix it. Let’s put a process around it so it doesn’t happen again.’” She developed that mindset straight from Tracie. Real estate didn’t leave much room for chaos. Systems had to be built fast.
Despite the chaos, the respect between them runs deep.
“Maigan was such a helpful little girl,” Tracie said. “Still is.”
Maigan smiled. “You’re the peacemaker. Always calm. Always helping people through tough times. Even when things were rough for you.”
Maigan admires her mum’s leadership. Her poise. Her empathy. “She’s just… solid,” Maigan said. “People lean on her. I’ve learned so much from watching her.”
The funny thing is, Tracie never expected Maigan to join the industry. “Honestly, I assumed she never would,” Tracie said.
Maigan agrees. “You probably tried to steer me away from it,” she says. But the freedom to choose made her passion real. “It wasn’t forced. That’s why it stuck.”
They laugh now about the years Maigan spent "under the Ray White desk."
“I’m not traumatised,” she joked. “I loved it. That was my world.”
It taught her things she couldn't have learned anywhere else — about people, patience, and persistence.
Their journey isn’t just about property. It’s about finding joy in the chaos. About showing up even when it’s hard. About building something; not just a business, but a bond.
And while their paths weren’t identical, they walked them side by side.
