BUYER
Tamara was a stress-free full-spectrum guide and powerful advocate for us. Our property had a significant number of novel challenges which Tamara tackled and explained, making what could have been a nightmare into a very pleasant experience. She cared deeply about our priorities and offered suggestions about what strategies we could use to get the best results. We loved working with Tamara and have already inquired about her support on future projects.
Buyer & Seller
My wife and I were very fortunate to work with Tamara for buying and selling. For buying, Tamara brought personal warmth and professionalism, treating our daughter to snacks on each visit, and deeply understood our needs and profile to find a great fit. I appreciated her integrity -- on a couple occasions she steered us away from making offers she thought would not be beneficial to us. Over the 6-month journey, she helped inform the offer process with market data and personal intel, allowing us to land a home we love at a price lower than we originally would have offered. On the selling side, we had never done this before, and felt at the mercy of things we knew very little about -- what to renovate, renovation costs, working with general contractors, negotiating sales price and enticing buyers.

My wife and I were very fortunate to work with Tamara for buying and selling.

Over the 6-month journey, she helped inform the offer process with market data and personal intel, allowing us to land a home we love at a price lower than we originally would have offered. On the selling side, we had never done this before, and felt at the mercy of things we knew very little about -- what to renovate, renovation costs, working with general contractors, negotiating sales price and enticing buyers. Tamara owned the renovation, contractor management, and market analysis end to end while keeping us involved in major decisions regularly. I was apprehensive of some of her suggestions at first (it's a nerve-wracking process with lots of uncertainties), but in the end listening to her advice paid off and we were very happy with our final sale price, even as the market was cooling down. To speak to her dedication and work ethic, Tamara drove miles each week to water the garden and oversee renovations at the property so we could take care of our growing family. We've worked with a realtor before (the purchase of our first home) and the experience with Tamara has been day and night. I could not offer a higher recommendation.
Tamara's exceptional performance in selling my home at 7981 Winged Foot Court truly exceeded my expectations. In a challenging high-interest rate environment she managed to secure a sale that was an impressive 13% over listing price. Her expertise, dedication, and strategic approach were instrumental achieving this outstanding result. I highly recommend Tamara for her remarkable real estate skills.
Tamara exceeded our expectations in selling my mother's home! She managed absolutely everything: elegant staging, beautiful landscaping, scheduling professional contractors, effective marketing, and negotiating with buyers to get the best price. Tamara knows that selling a home is an emotional experience for her clients. Her guidance and communication throughout the whole process was impressive. She was always available to talk through questions we had along the way and put us at ease, and she kept us in the loop every step of the way. To say Tamara’s personal touch was impeccable would be an understatement. We are over the moon with the results and highly recommend hiring Tamara!
Tamara helped us land the perfect home in a competitive market under a strict deadline (our baby was due in just a few months), and we highly recommend her services. We had a tight budget by Bay Area standards. Tamara was undaunted. She chased down leads that worked for our price point, respected our opinions when we passed on homes we didn't like, and encouraged us to keep searching as buyer's fatigue began settling in. When we put an offer on what ultimately became our home, Tamara was instrumental in negotiating the sale price and getting us to a place where we won the bid without having to massively overbid. Even after the offer was accepted, Tamara continued to be a resource, recommending contractors and meeting with them on our behalf while we were on vacation. Tamara genuinely cared about us, and it showed. We're very happy in our new home!
