From the very first meeting with Tara, I knew I made the right decision when choosing an agent that would help me sell my house and purchase my dream home. She was very knowledgeable about the market and was so on top of everything I didn't have to worry about anything. She went above and beyond in every aspect and for that I am truly thankful.
We are preparing for a cross-country move from Illinois to Arizona, and working with Tara was the best decision we could have made. We have bought and sold quite a few homes but buying a homesight unseen, in a different state with different procedures was daunting, but she made the entire experience incredibly smooth and stress-free. From our first conversation, Tara impressed us with her deep knowledge of the Arizona market, her professionalism, and above all, her genuine care for our needs. She took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for, kept us updated with clear communication every step of the way, and was incredibly responsive—no matter the time difference. What stood out most was her honesty and attention to detail. We always felt like she had our best interests at heart. Thanks to her hard work and dedication, we found the perfect home and felt confident every step of the way. We couldn't be more grateful, and we highly recommend Tara to anyone looking to buy or sell—especially if you're relocating from out of state. She truly goes above and beyond. J&K
Just of a few words that describe our realtor Tara Rutkowski. We met Tara when we called her to see one of her listings. My wife and I were immediately impressed with her knowledge of the market in our area and the area we were looking to move. Patty and I are not easily impressed by most realtors as we are both former agents with more years experience then I care to think about. We immediately bonded with Tara and knew she would be the one to list our home represent us in the purchase of our new home. We listened to her advice from day one. Tara was the one we listened to when it was time to list. She advised us on the market and what price to list at. When we got frustrated by the down market, she was a cheerleader and councilor. When an offer came in on our house she worked on negotiating the purchase price on our new home before the ink was dry on the offer we received on our present home. Of all the ways she impressed us, that was the big one. Patty and I love our new home and we have Tara to thank.
Was really happy to work with Tara! We had some unexpected twists and turns and Tara handled them very professionally. You need an agent in the future I highly recommend Tara! Thank you!
The best experience we could possibly have hoped for! Reliable, honest, and responsive to all our needs and questions. Tara has become a new trusted friend through this process. THE BEST in every aspect!
Tara is awesome. My wife and I have been involved in several real estate transactions over the years and we were so happy to have found a real estate agent so experienced and thorough as Tara. She was incredibly responsive and helped us to understand the minutia involved in this process. We would highly recommend her without reservation
We picked Tara because of her experience with the area. We made the right choice. She knows the area, the market and the best strategy. She got the job done at a difficult time.
Wether you know Tara as a friend, fellow church member, community member or you have never met her you won't regret hiring her to sell your home our purchase a new home. She will work tirelessly to make sure you don't have to worry about much, she will be highly communicative with you as well as other brokers. Lastly, timeliness should be her middle name and you will never have to worry about her not getting something done that she says she will! We highly recommend Tara Rutkowski!
Tara made our out of state real estate purchase an amazing and easy experience! Her great communication, going above and beyond every step of the way gave us such peace of mind. She was extremely knowledgeable which definitely helped us since we are moving from another state. She is very detailed and always on top of things. I can't recommend Tara enough, if I could have given her 10 stars I would. So blessed to have worked with the best and now get to call her a friend!
Tara has true compassion and caring for her client. She is an extremely hard worker and always tries to answer all your questions...big and small! Tara is kind and considerate and a very good business woman. I believe she loves her job and enjoys seeing her clients happy. Flo Lukos
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.
