Tara Townsend
Real Estate Broker

Reliable, Experienced, Hands-on service for Seattle

My Approach

In real estate, context matters. With data analytics available to nearly every buyer and seller down the neighborhood level, my clients are rarely short on facts. While I’m happy to provide them with more, I find my clients are smarter, more informed, and more empowered than they’ve ever been. My job is to provide the context beyond the data. While some clients may prefer to optimize for location, speed, and economics, others might prefer discretion, connection, and ease of transition.

After having helped over 300 buyers and sellers in the Seattle area, I give clients practical guidance to navigate the dynamics of their real estate transaction in a way that takes their own context into consideration. I combine my vast knowledge of the Seattle market with detailed, customized service for each client.

Hi, I’m Tara.

I’m passionate about people, making connections, and real estate. I moved around some growing up— from San Antonio to Dallas to St. Louis, and then Seattle as a young adult. Moving forces you to re-exam what home means, which is a hearty subject to dissect!

I moved to Seattle 20 years ago and have loved raising my kids here in the beautiful PNW. When I’m not working with clients, I enjoy gardening, hanging out on the lake with our pups, and I’m always looking forward to that next Sounders game.

Testimonials

  • We have worked with Tara three times and if we every had cause to sell in the future we wouldn't hesitate to with her again or recommend her to our friends - she is awesome!

    Nikki- Queen Anne

  • Tara is absolutely wonderful! We always felt the sale of our tiny condo was as important to Tara as it was to us. She problem-solved easily through some strange and unpredictable issues... and made sure our sale closed. We are so glad we had the chance to work with Tara!!

    Margaret- Lower Queen Anne

  • Tara was fantastic to work with. She has helped us through the sale as we were moving out of state and handled so many things - it was incredibly easy to work with her. Really appreciate Tara's attention to details, honesty, and overall helpfulness. Would recommend 10/10!

    Kosta- Queen Anne

  • Tara was THE BEST! Knowledgeable, experienced, responsive, market-savvy... She ticks off all the boxes. I can't recommend her highly enough.

    Jim- Magnolia

  • I was hesitant to use a realtor in Seattle's aggressive real estate market but had read Tara's previous reviews and decided to let her handle my house sale. And I'm so glad I did! She was warm and approachable yet professional and realistic. I would not hesitate to recommend Tara to others; indeed, I've already sang her praises to my close friends. They know I'm hard to please and hold high standards so they know this means Tara went above and beyond.
