Fabulous job with the transaction. Smooth and seamless! Would definitely like to work with again. Thank you Tara! :-)
AL
Tara was right on top of everything! She did a great job contacting those she needed to, and the transaction closed smoothly and on time. Would definitely recommend.

I am retiring; my last transaction was for my own home. I got to experience the transaction both as a broker and a seller. It was interesting to see the process from a different angle, and Tara and her team reinforced my belief that closing with them had been the right choice for my clients all along. Great communication throughout. Simple, easy to understand process. It was painless. I will so miss working with them!

You all did an excellent job accommodating my remote buyer. Extremely professional, very responsive and quick to return calls. I loved working with team Tara. Can't wait for our next transaction.
DG
Tara's team was efficient and educated with each step of this closing. Their communication with all parties was done in a very timely manner.
MA
Tara always does a great job of treating my clients the way I do. First

Worked with Tara on the recommendation of a mutual acquaintance and was very happy with her speed, efficiency, and friendliness! Definitely recommend.
JL
Tara and her team were great from start to finish. Lots of updates kept me fully informed. Good Job!
PG
Tara was very pleasant and professional to deal with. There was about the correct amount of communication and I was very impressed that she wouldn?t record until she had spoken with all parties regarding a lack of access (including both Realtors).
JP
Same out of state clients as before, but less available and more demanding. :) They just love Tara as she was ready for them and able to accommodate them at a moment's notice.
JP
Seller was very distracted with moving across the state with family, pets, etc. Tara anticipated all her needs and had them ready for her as needed. Made for a very smooth transaction as my "worrier" client knew it was all good on the escrow side of the transaction.
JP
Tara was professional as always; smooth transaction and great rapport with my clients.
JP
Tara kept on top of the file as this one bounced around a bit, but all good and my clients know and love her.
JP
I can't say enough times how much I appreciate Tara spending time with my clients when they come in for signing. This seller had lost her sister the year before and then both parents over the winter, so this was the second family house she had to sell in a very short time. Emotions can run high and Tara is so good with my clients by providing a peaceful and calm closure to the transaction; and therefore a peaceful and calm goodbye to the homes and the loved ones associated with them. Again, this is huge and I really appreciate it.
JP
Just another great transaction with Tara! Thank you!
JP
My client really appreciated Tara's patience with her at the signing; it was hard for her to sell the home for sentimental reasons but all the steps moving towards selling had been just awful. She needed to vent one last time and Tara handled it with grace and let her do what she needed to do without making her feeling rushed out the door.
JP
Tara did a professional job dealing with three siblings, one out of state and one that kept heading off the grid for days at a time, and getting them all signed before closing.
JP
Another last minute rush with State and City permits that were unknown to the seller; but Tara was able to coordinate with sellers, lender and agents to get it closed before the buyers lost their loan lock and therefore the house. Huge sigh of relief and much appreciation for Tara as the buyers would not have been able to purchase a home if they missed this one.
JP
Because Tara coordinated with the numerous sellers, lender and both agents to ensure this closed in a timely manner as last minute City and State permitting and loan requirements popped up, the buyer who was in transition living, was able to move in on time.
JP
Tara dealt with the two difficult sellers, who didn't like each other and had lots of redundant and unnecessarily accusatory questions, in an extremely professional manner. Kudos to her, she was definitely tested and passed with flying colors!
JP
Tara was very helpful and accommodating for an elderly client who was not mobile and in another part of the state. The client was super appreciative!
JP
Once again, Tara handled everything like the professional she is. :)
JP
Tara was great; she had to work with out-of-state sellers who can be very demanding and not readily available and they adore her for her response time and "got-it-togetherness"!
JP
Tara was great. She was patient and helpful with a seller who was very distracted as they were dealing with a family tragedy; plus we kept having to extend COE due to the buyer's lender. She just rolled with it and kept us all in the loop and apprised of next steps. Very much appreciated due to the client situational dramas on both sides.
