I can't say enough great things about working with Tara Rutkowski! From start to finish, she was incredibly supportive, responsive, and knowledgeable about the market. Selling and buying a home can be stressful, but Tara made the entire process seamless. She took the time to understand my needs, provided clear guidance at every step, and always had my best interests in mind. Her responsiveness was outstanding—whether it was answering my questions, coordinating showings, or handling negotiations, she was always quick to respond and proactive in keeping everything on track. I never felt out of the loop or unsure of what to expect next. Tara’s expert knowledge of the market was invaluable. She priced my home strategically, which led to a quick and successful sale, and she ensured I transitioned into my new home without a gap. On the buying side, she expertly negotiated on my behalf, making sure I got a fantastic deal on my new home. Her attention to detail, understanding of the market, and ability to navigate complex transactions gave me complete confidence in her. If you're looking for a realtor who is not only highly skilled but also genuinely cares about her clients, I highly recommend Tara!

My experience with Tara couldn’t be any more perfect. I met Tara when I terminated the contract with the first realtor I had. Tara stepped in and told me that she could definitely help me in selling my father’s house in a 55+ retirement community. Tara was honest and said she had only sold a few houses in this particular 55+ community but, had sold many in another 55+ community. Tara did not hold anything back when I asked questions. She gave me her honest opinion and the honest truth. I commend that because not all realtors would be that honest. Tara gave me the statistics of the community and what was currently for sale and said it might take some time but, not to worry because she could get the house sold. She did exactly that. The house was listed on 2/6/25 and went under contract on 2/11/25. 6 Days!!! Tara asked me to trust her and I did and she delivered on everything she said she would. Tara went the extra mile. She used some of her own stuff to stage the kitchen and bathrooms to make them show better. She was there when I was having some work done nd give me her opinion on whether or not to have the carpet not only steam cleaned but pre=treated. I wasn’t so sure. Again, I trusted her and it couldn’t have worked out any better because the pictures came out beautifully. I would definitely use Tara again if I were selling another house and I would have absolutely no reservation about recommending her to anyone in my family or my friends. I know that Tara would work as hard for them as she did me. It’s just who Tara is and how she is. Tara does not take anything or anyone for granted. Tara will treat selling your home as if she was selling her own. Most importantly - Tara does not have the mind set or attitude like most realtors have and that is - it’s just another listing and the more I have the less I have to do. Tara cares and it shows. That is why Tara is as great as she is and exactly why I would tell everyone to call Tara.

Tara was a pleasure to work with. Would highly recommend using her again.

Very knowledgeable on all aspects of the market ,marketing ,staging and negotiations Greatly appreciate and Highly recommend Tara whether you are selling or buying

We relied on Tara to help walk us through the selling of our home. She was extremely helpful and professional. She kept us up to date with every set of the selling process and guided us along the way. Dealing with her was a pleasure and would recommend her to anyone. Our experience was so good that we had her assist with the purchase if our new home. Again helping us all through the process from the purchase,to the design center- to the walk through if the new home. I would highly recommend and trust her. She was there first us at every turn. The West Valleys BEST Real Estate Agent. Thank you for everything.

We wanted to sell our second home here in Arizona that we had bought for our handicapped son in 2022. In late 2024 it became apparent that our son would do much better in an assisted living facility and after he moved we decided to put that house up for sale. Given the housing market and rising interest rates we wondered how long it might take to sell it. Based on lots of recommendations we called Tara and listed with her. There were dozens of homes already for sale in our area, with even more coming on the market each week. We knew Tara had a daunting task ahead of her. It was amazing how quickly she grasped our particular situation and tailored a specific strategy for us. She made us feel like we were her only client. Of course we knew she had many others but it still gave us a great feeling that we were in the best hands possible. Tara gave us guidance, a sales strategy, and several great suggestions that we never considered. She keep us advised on any new developments, potential buyers, changing conditions in the housing market, new real estate rules that came into effect, etc. After the 3rd or 4th status email we got over the weekend or late into the evening, I recall commenting to my wife "Does this woman ever sleep!?" Tara was relentless in her focus on getting our house sold. We were hoping she would be able to sell it before the summer got here. Well, it's only February and the house is sold! We didn't question her magic, we just enjoyed it. While so many other homes (four within 2 blocks of ours) still had "For Sale" signs on them, ours now had a "Sold" sign on it. We couldn't be more pleased with Tara (and her new staff member Jenn) for the professionalism, candor, patience, and honesty they showed us and that characterize a 5 star realtor.

Working with Tara was the best decision I have ever made. She went above and beyond to help every step of the way. She kept things moving by providing names of verified contractors from movers, roofers, and others to meet every obstacle to make sure the house was ready for sale and negotiated the requests of the buyer to keep the integrity of the market price. Professional in every way and communicated extremely well. I couldn't be happier with her service and work ethic!

Tara communicated with me frequently on what was happening and gave suggestions on what buyers were looking for. She was the best agent to have in a down market. I’ve told friends in the Canta Mia sub division to pick Tara if you want to get your house sold.

I reached out to Tara in August of 2024 for a market analysis of my home and she was right in the ballpark of what I wanted to get for my home. I just didn't think the market was right for how much i wanted and I didn't want it to sit on the market for months on end. She advised me of a few items that I could do in the meantime to make it more appealing for when I thought the time was right to sell. Fast forward to August of 2025 when I called Tara and told her I was ready. Everything from there on out was easy and seamless. There were a few other houses in my neighborhood that had been on the market, 1 for several months and another for over 1 year and they kept having to lower the asking price. This made me very nervous, but I knew that Tara was the perfect agent to sell my home. The listing went live and all it took was less than 24 hours and 1 showing to get full asking price! Tara knows the West Valley very well and was such a pleasure to work with.

This was my second time utilizing Tara for this home. She was my agent when I bought it as well. The purchase went incredibly smooth. I had some difficulties with the sale, but Tara already had the answers when I asked. 10/10 would recommend.

Tara Rutkowski is honestly the best realtor we have ever worked with. We have had 2 transactions with Tara, one purchasing and one selling, she has been consistent with both. Tara is very knowledgeable and professional and knows the real estate market very well. She is a wonderful agent and I would recommend her to anyone.

Well I've known Tara since 2006 and seen how she has transformed into a absolute fantastic real state agent. She has help us and my in-laws buying and selling our homes. She goes above and beyond, her excellence as an agent, very knowlegeable on homes and sales on her area. I'm so happy to know someone that I can trust handling sales of my home or buying a new home. I highly recommended Tara for buying or selling your home. Thank you so much and we will be talking again when we are ready to buy again. Once again a fantastic Real state agent.
