RECENT PRESS

Recently named a "Bay Area Top Rated Real Estate Agent", Tara was chosen for this award through careful research that narrowed down the top 5% of professionals in the area, and their professional qualifications, experience, reputation and skill in dealing with customers as well as their community involvement, and reviews on websites such as: Yelp, Trulia, Zillow, Redfin, Realtor.com and other leading independent real estate rating companies. In addition, Tara negotiated the sale of the highest valued property in Sebastopol, per Bareis MLS.  



PERSONAL BACKGROUND

Tara is originally from San Diego (Go Chargers!) and has lived in Sonoma County for over 35 years. She is an avid football and hockey fan, dog lover, and coffee addict. Tara earned a degree in Merchandise Marketing and Business Administration, and has raised 4 children (3 girls and a boy) in the community, which has allowed her the opportunity to get involved in sports coaching, charities to benefit the homeless population, and provide opportunities to at-risk youth as well as veterans.  

 

As a child, Tara's mother had an adventurous spirit, and would often open a map, close her eyes, and put her finger down, moving the family to whichever location in the country was randomly selected.  This experience taught Tara how to be adaptable, open to new experience, and capable of establishing connections with people quickly. She currently resides in the Rincon Valley area of Santa Rosa with an office in downtown Sonoma, and spends her free time hiking, traveling the world, exploring the Bay Area, and taking her sidekick (a MinPin named Bruiser) to various dog parks.   

CHARITIES WE SUPPORT

Tara is passionate about giving back to her community, and donates a portion of each commission to GiveBackHomes, to build and provide homes for families in need. Tara also finds opportunities at her events and closings to utilize other charitable organizations such as ONEHOPE Wine, supports local art, volunteers at the Redwood Gospel Mission, and stays involved with the Humane Society and ASPCA.
