It's been a hot minute since I've done an "About Me", so let's do one!

Hi, I'm Tara, and I've been in real estate for 8 years now. I grew up in Colleyville since I was 13 years old. Fun fact: My parents still live in the same house I grew up in. My kids will even graduate from the same school I did, and will actually be 3rd Generation Mustangs (My Dad was the class of '78).

I moved away after graduation and attended Texas Tech University (Guns Up!) where I majored in Advertising. I got into the radio business where I sold radio advertising for a few years, and took a job and moved to Colorado Springs, CO where I met my husband who was active duty Air Force at the time.

We moved to Fairbanks, Alaska where our oldest son was born, and then on to Phoenix, Arizona where my youngest was born (his birthday is actually today!). It's sort of crazy to have lived in both places with such extreme weather. I've seen -55 degrees and also 122 degrees, so I've experienced it all I can honestly say!

We moved back to the area back in July 2017 after my husband retired from the Air Force.

A few months after we moved here I was trying to decide what my next career move would be. I remember meeting with a mentor of mine at the time and while we were talking he held out a pen in front of me and said "Tara, this is a magic pen. With this pen you can do anything you choose to do. What do you want to do?" I looked at the pen and said "I want to do Real Estate." A few days later, I signed up to get my real estate license. The rest is history.

I've experienced a lot in the last 8 years in real estate. The business is always changing and brings different challenges, but as someone who has moved a lot in their lifetime and experienced lots of different places, I have learned to look at it as a journey and an adventure. The people are always the best part.

If you've been considering a move, I'd love to help. Please feel free to reach out to me anytime whether its to see what your home would be worth in today's market, or just to ask some general questions about the process, my door (or DM's!) are always open :).

If we do a little time travel back to August 2016 in Colleyville, TX, the median sales price was $540,000.

Flash forward to August 2026 and the median sales price was $1,050,000. It goes to show that a lot can happen in a housing market over 10 years.

Of course, every home is different. Location, condition, improvements, and property type all matter.

If you’ve owned your home for several years, there’s an important question to ask:

How much has YOUR home changed in value, and how much equity might you have today?

Send me your address and I can help you take a closer look!

And it's a wrap!

Congratulations to my clients who officially became the proud new owners of this incredible house at Eagle Mountain Lake.

What a roller coaster this has been to get to this point! This transaction was nothing short of tumultuous, with negotiations being made all the way up to the very last hour before closing. The actual closing did not even finish until almost 9pm in the evening!

Someone once told me "You will work for every penny that you earn in real estate." This could not be more true. The bigger the deal the more skills it requires of you.

There are moments in your career you can look back and point to as something that truly pushed you to another level. It stretched your skills beyond anything you had ever experienced, and after you came out the other side you realize "Holy cow, I can't believe I was able to get that done." There have been SO many moments like that for me this summer.

I'm super grateful to my clients who trusted me literally every step of the way, and who after 3 months of working so closely with, I can call my friends. The people you meet on the way are the best part of this business, and what makes the hard stuff absolutely worth it.

Fun Fact: Billy Bob Thornton used to own the property next door to them. The house itself is no longer there (a new house has been built).

If you have been considering a move, I would love to go to work for you! As we enter the slower time of the year, we have more inventory than we have in years, making it a great time to be a buyer. It's the perfect time to get yourself a new home and settled in before the holidays. Please feel free to reach out to me to discuss next steps!

Is this good news or bad news. I’ll go first— it’s GREAT news!

Winter is coming... maybe? 🥶❄️ If you're already tired of the 100-degree days, here's some news that might cool you off.

The Farmers' Almanac is predicting a wet, stormy winter for Texas, with the possibility of everything from heavy rain to sleet, freezing rain and even snow. 🌧️🧊⛄

Forecasters say a strengthening El Niño could bring more storms and colder air across the state this winter. While it's way too early to know exactly where snow might fall, the Almanac warns that small temperature changes could make the difference between a chilly rain and a full-blown winter storm.

Their advice? Keep the rain boots, ice scraper and snow shovel handy. Texans might need all three.

📍 Grapevine friends: Are you hoping for a snowy Main Street this winter or would you rather keep the cold weather away?

UNDER CONTRACT!

What. A. Whirlwind.

After a roller coaster of events, my clients were able to beat out a substantially higher cash offer that came in last minute as we were literally waiting for the contract to be executed.

With patience and discernment, we carefully planned out our next steps, and my clients were able to beat out the higher offer without having to pay a penny more. It was pretty incredible, I must say.

The pictures of this house don't even come close to doing it justice. Now my clients will be able to call this incredible place home before September even begins.

The market is different than it was even a few months ago, and certainly different than it was during Covid. I have nine years of experience dealing with so many different scenarios, price ranges, and types of properties.

If you've been considering a move, I'd love to help you capitalize on this slower time as we leave the peak season of real estate. It's a great time to buy a home when the buy a home when the bulk of buyers has already left the market and snag a home you may not have been able to win during the spring and summer months.

I guess that’s why they say the best time to buy was 25 years ago!

Even if you buy RIGHT BEFORE a major recession, your home will double in value within 15 years.

Last week I shared some Back to School Tips, and as I updated our family calendar I thought this might be good to share.

This is a semi-new thing I just started implementing maybe 4 or 5 months ago before Summer started.

Each month I fill in our family appointments/commitments, and each week I write out the major highlights of the week and also what we are having for dinner this week.

I asked my 12-year-old if he likes this calendar and if he finds it helpful and he said “Absolutely!”. He said he likes seeing what we have coming up each week and what we are having for dinner every night.

Just thought I would share in case you are looking for a something to help keep the family organized and everyone on the same page! I’ve tried calendars for years but this 3-part system has been the only thing that has ever stuck for me.

It’ll be here before we know it!

What are your tips for a successful first day?

I love this flyer!

Every year my family and I talk about a Summer Bucket List of must-do items, and this one has some great ideas.

What are some you might like to try?
