What My Clients Say

My wife and I were buying our first home and Tara Jo smacked it outta the park. She recommended a top notch mortgage advisor that got us a FABULOUS rate to get things started. After that she helped us find our dream home. The home we wanted. The perfect home. She was always available. She was always ready. She took it to another level! I would recommend her to anyone I know who was buying a house.

-Dan Hutcheson

Tara Jo was absolutely amazing in selling our house and helping us buy a new home. She was so knowledgeable about current market values. She hosted an amazing open house for us and included professional photographs of the house. The market can be very challenging for buyers but Tara Jo was so patient and very responsive when new houses came on the market. We actually ended up being the first people to view the house we bought. Buying and selling a new home can be very stressful and Tara Jo did an incredible job of minimizing the stress and making things go as smooth as possible. Would highly recommend!

-Bryan & Corrie

Tara Jo is GOOD at what she does!! She’s warm, responsive and passionate about helping families sell their homes and find their dream homes! She’s on top of the market and incredibly knowledgeable. We have LOVED working with her and would highly recommend her services!! Truly can’t say enough good things about Tara Jo!! She’s THE BEST!

-Jodi

My family was looking to move to a different neighborhood and had known Tara Jo for several years. While we weren’t in a hurry, homes were selling quickly. Our sell/buy process had many moving parts and some unexpected scenarios. Tara Jo was with us all along the way, from negotiations to answering many questions, she even came to our sale signing. Working full time and having kids in sports, we were able to text and e-sign many documents which was very helpful. We were able to list, sell and buy in right around 30 days. We really appreciated her expertise and would certainly recommend her.
