Longtime residents of the Greater Baton Rouge area, Taras parents knew they would be expecting a new bundle of joy. Just two weeks before her arrival they found out two others would be joining her into this world. Thats right! Her parents had merely two weeks to prepare for TRIPLETS! My parents lived in a two-bedroom apartment at the time they found out and shortly thereafter made plans to build in the country [The City of Central] in order to accommodate their family of two growing to a family of five. Six years later, that family would become a family of six. This was a huge surprise and created an even bigger lifestyle change.
Shortly after high school Tara became interested in real estate but decided to attend Southeastern Louisiana University in pursuit of a Marketing Degree. In May of 2000, she was hired on as an assistant to a real estate appraiser. She worked in the appraisal industry for ten years (4 of which we as an appraiser trainee) before she became a licensed real estate agent in 2010. I cherish and embrace the experience and education I acquired in those ten years. It has been a great asset in all of my real estate transactions.
When asked about life changing events that directly impacted her needs as it relates to real estate Tara stated, I purchased my first home as a single mom. Three years later, I married the love of my life which changed our housing situation. We decided to build our first home through a builder; turnkey. Almost six years later my father was diagnosed with Parkinsons Disease which changed our long-term plans to prepare for the future with him and Parkinsons. My husband and I purchased and developed acreage to proceed with custom building our forever home, allowing for my parents to build on the adjacent acre. Lifestyles, situations, needs and family all pass through the seasons of life. Having an experienced Realtor is the greatest asset anyone could have.
Relationships, challenges and experiences have helped me grow to be the best Realtor I can be. I pass these things on to every client I am blessed to work with. Real estate is a passion; it is dedication and most of all its about integrity. Change is something most would rather not embrace, yet it is something we inevitably have to whether we like it or not. Having a forever agent is the best support you can have during these times. I am not just there for my clients for that moment, I am there for them forever!
