Client Testimonials

"Tara is amazing! We started the buying process with a good knowledge of the local market but Taraā€™s depth of knowledge on the Oceanfront was extraordinary. She didnā€™t just know recent transactions but the history of almost every house in the area and story behind each transaction. She was invaluable during the negotiations with the seller, providing advice and perspective but never pushing us. Once we had a deal, and despite the fact we were thousands of miles away, the closing process was the smoothest weā€™ve ever done. Tara was on top of every detail, making sure agreed upon repairs were made and closing conditions were met. We would never do a real estate transaction in SoCal with anyone else!" - Ted & Laurel O'Connor..

"I had the absolute pleasure of working with Tara on my recent purchase in Costa Mesa, and I can't recommend her enough! From start to finish, she was incredibly thorough and always available to address our needs. Her attention to detail and commitment made the entire process seamless. Not only did we find the perfect home, but we also built a wonderful friendship along the way. Tara truly makes real estate fun and enjoyable!" - Amelia Reyes


"Well, after working with Tara it is impossible to ever deal with anyone else. We are spoiled now knowing the kind of love, attention and knowledgeable care and impeccable detail that she provides to her customer. OMGosh, Tara does it all. Everything I have done in the past when I bought or sold a house was taken care of. It was alwaysā€¦ā€I will take care of that for youā€. Her personality allows you to just embrace the buy or sell transition like you were sitting and enjoying a slice of cake. lol. Honestly there is not enough space to tell you the level of competence you will experience and how happy you will be that you found her. " - Victoria O' Connor Boden

"Tara made my experience of locating a house that checked all the boxes a lot less stressful than I had expected. She was always quick to respond to my questions with answers and solutions to my concerns. She is the best realtor I have ever worked with. I would recommend her to anyone in need of a realtor in Orange County. 5 STARS! " - David Aimar

"Tara is the best Realtor I have ever met, let alone worked with. Her care for her clients is obvious and her professionalism is unmatched! Tara made us feel comfortable and confident throughout the tumultuous process of finding a house in this crazy market. Her communication was incredible as she walked us through every twist and turn. Somehow she was the first realtor to know about every listing and gave us the best shot to get every house we saw... that is so important in this market. We just had to leave her a review to thank her and her team for all their hard work to make our dream house come true! If you need a realtor we cannot recommend Tara and her Compass team enough!

Growing up in the Palm Springs area as part of a real estate and development family, Tara was indoctrinated into the myriad of challenges faced by successful real estate professionals early in life. This invaluable education provided a running start to her remarkable career as she relocated to Orange County in 2007 after graduating from the University of Redlands.

Taraā€™s trusted reputation among her clients and her peers is evidenced by her participation in more than $1.8 billion in real estate sales in the competitive Orange County coastal market.
