Tara Tarrant

Real estate has always been more than a career for Tara, it’s part of her story. Her passion was sparked early, shadowing a respected local agent as a teenager and gaining a firsthand look at how homes shape lives. That early exposure planted the seed for what would become a deeply rooted, people-first career in real estate.

After college, Tara’s entrepreneurial spirit led her into property acquisitions, interior design projects, residential remodels, and commercial build-outs. Those hands-on experiences gave her a rare, well-rounded perspective that naturally evolved into full-time real estate. Since 2013, she has served North Texas buyers, sellers, and investors across both residential and commercial markets, drawing on training from some of the best in the business and a genuine love for the craft. Known for her tireless work ethic and intuitive understanding of both spaces and people, Tara blends market expertise with creativity, strategy, and heart.

At the core of everything Tara does is relationship. She is married to her high school sweetheart, and is the proud mom of three adult children, and her favorite place to be is anywhere they are. Her faith, love of interior design, animals, 70s music, magazines, and a perfect slice of lemon meringue pie all weave into the warmth and authenticity she brings to her work. Clients quickly sense that they’re not just another transaction, they’re people she truly cares about.

Tara’s simple goal is this: to guide every client with honesty, clarity, and dedication, helping them feel confident, cared for, and at home every step of the way.

Client Testimonials

"Nine years ago we were blessed with getting you as our Realtor. We were at best hoping for an honest person to assist us in finding a house that we could fix up. Instead we ended up with a true friend, that went above and beyond her job description and miraculously got us into a home. What we didn't count on was the unexpected friendship we found with someone who over the past nine years, shared the events of both our children's lives, and grew into much more than friendship, but became Family...Thank you for everything, Tara! - Tim M."
