"We can't say enough good things about Tara. We originally met Tara in 2008 at an open house she was sitting, when we were looking to buy our first home. We were so drawn to how honest and personable she was that we asked her to help us find our home. Trying to buy in Los Angeles for your first experience is daunting, to say the least. Tara made the whole process so easy by holding our hand through everything from offers to missing out on homes we thought were the one, to finally purchasing the perfect home."
