Tara's Story

Tara’s “first chapter” in her real estate career began is 2006, when she and her family left the Chicago suburbs and chose Three Lakes to raise their family.  Practicing for 10 years in the Northwoods of Wisconsin, Tara has been managing Broker Associate with Century 21 Burkett & Associates, a top producer and multiple award recipient.  Community involvement included parishioner at St. Theresa Church, Three Lakes Chamber Board of Directors, Town Action Group Housing Chair, Greater Northwoods MLS Ethics Panel.

Fast forward to the “next chapter” in sunny Florida 2015-2017.  As a managing Broker Associate with Coldwell Banker Sunstar Realty, a company of 170 agents, she was responsible for offices in both Punta Gorda and Port Charlotte, along with developing the Corporate Training program for new agent onboarding.  That presented an opportunity to work with the finest professionals in a large marketplace, while also acquiring the latest tools and technology to apply to the evolving real estate profession. She holds a Broker’s license and is a member of National Women’s Council of Realtors, NAR and WRA.

Life has come full circle, with Tara and her family moving back to their Northwoods home, in their cherished community of Three Lakes.  A simple saying “there’s no place like home”, resonates with much clarity.  Home is not just a dwelling, it is a state of mind and a placeholder for life’s memories.  The highest compliment one can receive is that of a recommendation to others, along with repeat customer's support. Tara’s passion for real estate continues, with a depth of experience and dedication for offering the best client service she is well known for.
