The Agent

Creativity, warmth and a deeply personal approach

Before real estate, Tara spent 25 years as a published photographer in fashion, journalism and entertainment. That creative eye now translates directly into how she shows homes: not just rooms and rooflines, but the life a place could hold. A proud mom, a lifelong animal lover, and a multiple-time mover across Alberta, British Columbia and Ontario, she understands exactly what it feels like to start over somewhere new.
