About Tara

Each day I get to wake up and assist homeowners in making their dreams come true! Home ownership is a part of the American Dream and I consider myself extremely fortunate to assist clients with the sale or purchase of their most valuable asset. This is not something that I take lightly or for granted. What I do each day impacts the every day lives of my clients and it is my responsibility to ensure that they capitalize on the sale or purchase of a home in any way possible. I love the fact that each home sale that I navigate through is unique and different. It’s like starting a new adventure each time I help a client buy or sell a home. I learn how to handle the curve balls that may be thrown my way and each day gain more knowledge and insight in order to better assist clients moving forward. Overall, I do not consider what I do a job. I am one of the few people who is extremely blessed to love what I do. When you love what you do it doesn’t feel like work. That’s why it is easy for me to provide exemplary customer service and ensure that I am available to my clients when needed. Real estate is not a Monday through Friday, 8am-5pm job. It’s 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, including Holidays. I work hard for my clients and love every minute of it. In addition, my previous background of over nine years in the Solar Industry gives me an edge over all other real estate agents. Solar is a huge benefit for a home and needs to be marketed to potential buyers, so they can understand the value solar offers, whether leased or owned. With my knowledge and expertise in this area I know what disclaimers and processes must be followed to allow the successful transfer of solar leases as well as show the benefits to potential buyers. When you sell a solar home, you need to sell both the home as well as the solar system in order to get value added. My passion for solar as well as real estate makes me a natural fit if you are looking to buy or sell a solar home. Who you choose to work with in the sale or purchase of a home makes a huge difference in your overall experience. If you want to work with someone who is passionate, dedicated, straightforward, honest, and will get the job done please reach out to me today!

Thorough and direct communicator with in depth community knowledge.

Tara is a consummate professional with excellent communication skills. She has deep market knowledge of the Estrella community and assisted me in pricing and staging my home. She went beyond my expectations when challenges arose and was always available to answer questions. I highly recommend Tara to anyone looking to sell or purchase a home.

Thank goodness for Tara!

Thank goodness for Tara!

A skilled and savvy negotiator, Tara helped us navigate the landscape of buying our new home in Arizona. During the process of selling our home in Ohio while juggling the purchase of our new home in Arizona, Tara was with us the entire time. In fact, she was always thinking one step ahead of us in advising what we needed to do next and who to contact. Speaking of which, she has a long list of quality contacts for anything you need for the move process. Her connections came in handy more than once. If you’re looking for someone who is kind, professional, and always puts your best interest first, Tara will never disappoint. She was our advocate every step of the way. We just love her!

Prompt, attentive, patient, and exceptionally knowledgeable, clear communication

I cannot recommend Tara highly enough. From the very beginning of the sale of my home, she was prompt, attentive, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. She always took the time to answer my questions thoroughly, explain every step of the process, and make sure I understood all of my options before making any decisions. Selling a home can be stressful under any circumstances, but in today’s market, where it’s no longer a strong seller’s market, having Tara in my corner made all the difference. She provided honest, data-driven guidance and helped me make informed decisions without ever making me feel pressured. Whether it was discussing pricing strategies or navigating negotiations, Tara’s expertise and calm, confident approach gave me peace of mind throughout the entire process. She understood the changing market conditions and knew exactly how to position my home to attract serious buyers while keeping my best interests at the forefront. What stood out most was her communication and dedication. She was always quick to respond, kept me informed every step of the way, and genuinely cared about achieving the best possible outcome for me. I never felt like just another client—I felt supported, valued, and confident knowing she was advocating for me. If you’re looking for a real estate agent who is professional, trustworthy, knowledgeable, and truly invested in her clients’ success, I wholeheartedly recommend Tara. She turned what could have been an overwhelming experience into one that was smooth, positive, and successful, and I am so grateful to have had her by my side throughout the sale of my home. Because of this, I have her by my side as a buyer! Thank you Tara!!

Expectations Exceeded!

Expectations Exceeded!

We decided to purchase our 1st Arizona home and Tara was recommended. We couldn't be happier. We live 1500 miles away and working with Tara was like being the same office. We ultimately sent her a list of properties we liked from the internet. Tara was able to schedule time for us when we flew out to AZ. We did 3 days of showings from our list. We had a favorite but something wasn't yet perfect. Tara suggested 1 last home to look at and by our 4th day in AZ, we submitted an offer that was accepted. Tara held our hands and we never had a moment alone. She not only guided us through different areas, she also had suggestions and recommendations for any after-purchase fixes or upgrades needed to the home. Moving our family to AZ has become much easier after working with Tara and her group. Highly recommended!
