YOUR SEATTLE REAL ESTATE RESOURCE

"As a first-time home buyer, I was at a bit of a loss when it came to finding an agent to work with. Fortunately, Tamara came highly recommended by my girlfriend - who had worked with Tamara when purchasing a home in 2002. A scant two months later, I'm sitting in the home of my dreams and couldn't be more pleased with the services provided by Tamara. The two main qualities I was looking for in an agent were reliability and follow-through. You just don't see enough of these traits in folks these days. Tamara has both traits - in spades. EVERY time she said she would follow up on something related to either a house I was interested in or around the house I ended up buying, she came through with flying colors. It made the entire process much easier and infinitely less stressful than I anticipated. It must also be mentioned that during the entire process I always felt that Tamara had my best interests in mind. It never felt like I was being nudged in a direction that might be more beneficial to her bottom line. She's clearly very knowledgeable when it comes to houses and the market and makes it her mission to figure out exactly what you're looking for in a house - even if you're not quite sure yourself! I can say without question that I will recommend Tamara to any friend looking to buy or sell a home."

"Tamara is dedicated to her work, patient, generous with her expertise, and extraordinarily reliable. She stuck with us through one of the toughest housing markets anyone can remember, as we searched on and off for four years for a home. She always spoke her mind about the houses we saw with her, which sometimes meant pointing out the flaws we didn't notice. When we finally did find a home to buy, it was, after Tamara's tireless work on our behalf, the perfect home. She is simply amazing!"
Sunila Kale & Christian Novetzke

"I was lucky enough to be referred to Tamara, and was extremely grateful for that good fortune throughout the complex process of buying a home. She always delivered on each of the million tasks that comprise the real estate transaction ocean. Tamara also provided additional consulting on the simultaneous sale of my first house. My best suggestion? Bring Tamara in at your first thought of buying or selling. Her guidance and experience will provide you peace of mind, which is no small achievement during one of life's most stressful processes!"
Tracie Giles

"Tamara is amazing to work with. Our family has dealt with Tamara on purchasing/selling other property. She does extensive market research to understand house values in the area and then we discussed the pricing given the current market. She hit the price spot on-not too high-not too low. She had a professional photographer take pictures of the house and helped us stage it. The pictures turned out awesome. I would recommend Tamara for either purchasing or selling a house."
Darlene Forhart

"Not pushy on things, let us decide. Loved working with you Tamara. You made things happen when I was giving up hope."
Barbara Chapple

"I met Tamara at a coffee shop on a Friday afternoon for our initial contact. After the initial pleasantries were exchanged Tamara handed me a mission statement and her resume. I found this to be completely professional and was a nice foundation for my confidence in her. Within just a few hours I found three emails each containing no less than five properties with my specific attributes. Tamara then started doing lots of market research on the property, the building, the neighborhood, and historical information so that we could identify a fair asking price. She also talked to me about realistic expectations for the initial offer and subsequent counter offers. Tamara had all of the research to convince the seller agent that what I was offering was a fair price. Tamara was also very personable, she commented that she noticed an emotional reaction from me when we visited this place versus others we had visited. She was great throughout the entire process from agreement of terms to the handoff of keys and beyond. I will recommend Tamara to anyone who even mentions interest in purchasing. Obviously I will use Tamara for all my real estate needs in the future."

"Tamara did for me with the recent sale of my Seattle home. She provided the best customer service I could ever hope for. Tamara is a superb professional - courteous, highly competent, timely, and extremely helpful. She guided me through a rather arduous process (in clearly a buyer's market) in fine fashion. I am very grateful for her help and wanted you to know how much I appreciated working with her. Besides, she is just a peach of a person to boot."
Dr. Andy Hurst

"You made calm, what was chaotic and stressful."
Ryan Troy

"We had a challenging time finding the "right house" and I wasn't going to even look at this one, but Tamara suggested that we practice 'due diligence' and take a look. So we did. Through her counseling of 'move quickly or chance losing it', we purchased it and still find ourselves very happy with the neighborhood and the house."
Tracy Mills and Neil Vonhof
