Tara Rutkowski

I did not know Tara or any realtors in the area. I did a pretty extensive review of everyone out there who specialized in my area of the valley and Tara's name kept floating to the top. For good reason. She went from first meeting to listing with incredible speed and efficiency, listed fast, showed responsibly and delivered full price offers (3 of them) in a few days. Here is where experience matters...Tara helped us sort through the offers and work with the buyers to refine the offers via counters to get some of the specifics we wanted in the transaction. Tara seemed to have a sixth sense to understand what we needed and sculpt the transaction to meet everyone's needs. We had a great house and she got it to a great buyer. Two other things that really stand out - 1. We had to appraise and Tara had a great capacity to translate our improvements to the buyer to help facilitate that. We confidently sailed through that process. 2. She has a rolodex of great vendors and craftspeople who delivered some key improvement tasks before and after the transaction. Once we mentioned her as our realtor, the appointments flowed easily. Again, reputation matters. Wish we had another house to sell but thanks to Tara, we will be staying put for a while.

Tara was always available and responsive for questions or concerns. She is so knowlegable and knows the difficult market that we were working with. The home was empty and Tara brought her own decorative items into the home and made it not look so stark. The house hit the Multiple Listings on Friday and we had a good offer the very next Tuesday! Amazing! She is such a pleasure to work with. Always professional and a great negotiator.

I couldn’t have asked for a better real estate agent than Tara Rutkowski to represent me in what was a complex transaction, with an International Buyer. Selling in a market with significant downward pressure presented some real challenges; however, Tara handled everything with professionalism, expertise, and sheer determination. Despite the difficult market conditions and complexities of the transaction, we successfully sold the property in just 15 days—for a record-setting price in Toll Brothers’ Beacon neighborhood at Estrella Mountain Ranch. Throughout the entire process, Tara’s communication was excellent, issues were addressed quickly, and I felt that my interests were being well represented and protected. At times, I’m sure I became a bit of a challenge myself, but Tara always responded with patience, understanding, and compassion. That meant a great deal to me and made what could have been a very stressful experience much easier. Tara’s experience, market knowledge, negotiating skills, and incredible attention to detail made an absolute difference. While other builder and resale homes in Beacon have remained on the market for more than 100 days, Tara was able to position and market my property effectively and get it sold in just 15 days—again for a record setting price. I’m extremely pleased with the outcome and genuinely grateful for Tara’s dedication throughout the process. I would highly recommend Tara to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, responsive, compassionate, and results-focused real estate professional. In fact, I have already referred Tara to others—and I would do it again without hesitation.

Thank you Tara for your excellent commutation and negotiation skills in helping sale our home in 2 months!

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.

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!
