Professional Philosophy
I believe any transaction should be a 'win-win' situation for all parties involved.
I believe creative solutions can be found to most problems.
I believe in maintaining close contact with the other parties to make sure everyone is on the same page.
I believe in the importance of having access to a team of qualified professionals to assist a buyer or seller whether they need a lender or a contractor or other local services.
I believe taking care of the details and covering all the bases makes for a much smoother transaction.
Testimonials
SECOND HOME PURCHASE: We had not purchased a home in 20 years, but Tamara gave us the help we needed to make our mountain cabin dream a reality. She listened to our needs and didn't waste our time showing us properties that didn't fit. We found her knowledgeable about the area and she responded to our questions and concerns--always in a timely manner. Tamara worked hard for us, even after the contract was signed. We felt she went above and beyond the call of duty. We had a very good experience and most of all, we're very happy with our new home!

WHAT A PLEASURE to deal with a real estate agent who is knowledgeable and sensitive to her clients' needs and requests. Tamara has a knack for finding the right property and the ability to negotiate the best price for her client, either on the sale or purchase side of the transaction. Her hard work and work ethics allow Tamara to follow up on questions and issues. Her attention to detail makes the closing of an escrow an enjoyable experience. It is truly a pleasure to work with her.

I HAVE THE HIGHEST REGARD for Tamara's professionalism and resourcefulness. Her knowledge of the real estate market, her connections to the regional green building community, and her green building experience make Tamara a valuable resource for me in Truckee and Lake Tahoe.

Background
In the summer of 1986, Tamara wasn't sure if Truckee was the right California town for her, but it only took a couple of weeks for her to commit to the area. The friendly people, the incredible views, and the recreational opportunities seemed virtually endless and she felt that she had found home.
While she owned the adventure sport video distribution company, she found ample opportunity to photograph a variety of adventure sports, rarely leaving the area to produce photos for magazines, catalogs and websites. She knows what draws people to the mountains. She's captured it on film. She's shared it with the world. Now she's taking that experience and helping others find "home" in the mountains. Finding a place where they can make memories for years to come!
