We had a wonderful experience working with Tara McNabb to sell our family home.
13 days ago
We had a wonderful experience working with Tara McNabb to sell our family home.

She was down-to-earth, approachable, and genuinely willing to help with all aspects of preparing the home for sale, including making arrangements and coordinating details along the way. She was always readily available to answer questions, prompt with responses and information, and excellent at keeping us informed throughout the process. Her strong knowledge of the local real estate market and years of experience were evident in the thoughtful sales strategy she developed. We truly appreciated her professionalism, communication, and hands-on approach. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!

Best Agent in SO Cal for Beach Property

Best Agent in SO Cal for Beach Property

Tara and her team at Compass were top notch. This is the second transaction I've worked with her on, and she was incredible to work with both times. Tara has a large book of contacts and relationships and is the GO TO agent when it comes to beach front property in Orange County - especially in Newport Beach. She represents many houses as listing agent, but she also has a huge network of contacts and she is able to show off market properties that would otherwise be unavailable. Tara works tirelessly to connect buyers and sellers and she always acts with integrity and honesty. She sold my property in record time for a record price... Can't recommend Tara and the Compass team enough.

Tara was a valuable asset to my purchase. She provided accurate timely information and shepherded the process forward. She had a tough job by having to represent both the buyer and seller. She did it well, professionally and accurately. The closing process was as smooth and cost efficient as possible from beginning to end. Talk to her. You will feel the same as I do. Thank you Tara
