"Tana possesses an exceptional skill set that sets her apart from other agents we’ve worked with. Her negotiation skills are truly impressive; she was able to secure a great deal for us, demonstrating her understanding of the ever-changing real estate market. What truly sets Tana apart is her unwavering commitment to her clients' best interests. Communication with Tana was always clear, she made sure that every detail was addressed and that we felt comfortable and confident in our decisions and promptly addressing any questions or concerns we had. Even while touring houses Tana’s experience as an agent comes through in the kind of reflections and observations she makes and how she presents the house; she came to showings prepared. Tana provided valuable insights that allowed us to make informed decisions. Working with Tana was a pleasure, and I confidently recommend her for a seamless and successful real estate experience!"- Gustavo Villegas Gonzales

"We loved working with Tana! She provided very detailed market information about the homes we were interested in and guided us in making a winning offer that put us in our new home with equity! I can't say enough good things about her, she asks you the right question to help guide you and properly sets expectations. "

"We are thankful that Tana is our realtor. She is the full package! My husband and I were reluctant to sell our dream home with a realtor and unsure if we could sell it for the “right price”. Unusual circumstances brought us to Tana and she quickly earned our trust, which led us to the decision to go with her and her team. Although she is relatively new to this market, she is NOT new to this process. She was professional, proactive, ethical, knowledgeable and extremely confident. She fearlessly listed AND SOLD our house at a record market-high PPSF, with no comps to work with. She pulled all her resources and tirelessly worked to obtain phenomenal photography that embraced the beauty of our home. She was reliable and respectful at all times and showed strength and confidence during intense negations. In addition to her realtor skills, Tana is a genuinely good sole with a big heart! Her warm, positive attitude and infectious humor helped turn an emotional decision to sell into a successful & enjoyable journey! Highest praise!!"- Susan Tise

"Tana is THE BEST! I was a first time homebuyer and didn't know anything about buying a house. Tana was patient and knowledgeable as she walked me through every step of the process. She is super speedy to reply and always cheerful. Tana somehow can always make time in her schedule to go for same- or next-day house showings; when houses are only on the market for a few days, this is an absolute must-have quality in your agent. I ended up with my dream house and a big part of this was because Tana made time to go to a showing with me on Easter weekend (the house was only on the market 2 days on a holiday weekend - nuts!). And she knows her stuff too - she consistently was able to accurately approximate how much a house would go for, which is really valuable in this market where going over the asking is almost a necessity. Tana is also just a lovely, positive person and a great source of support during the stressful home buying process. I cannot recommend her enough!"- Ingrid Koch

★★★★★
"As a realtor myself, I had very high expectations for Tana and she surpassed them all. My family is moving from California to North Carolina and Tana took the time to tour me around the different areas and neighborhoods pointing out all the things I'd need to be aware of. Having relocated herself, she was incredibly helpful at covering everything without being overwhelming. I can't recommend her enough!"- Lisa Kozak

★★★★★
"Tana helped me close on my house and I can't express what a godsend she has been for me during this entire home buying journey. I am a first time home buyer and she walked me through every step and hurdle. She is so dedicated in what she does and is so incredibly thorough. She also has an amazing team that supported me through the process. 100% recommend you won't be sorry! "- Jina Lee

★★★★★
"Tana is a dedicated, thoughtful and insightful realtor. We were house shopping from several states away and the market was moving too fast for multiple visits to make sense, so Tana took the time to truly understand the type of neighborhood and home we were looking for. Then she went above and beyond to help us get a real feel for opportunities via video chat, videoing neighborhood drive-arounds and pointing out the characteristics that met our ask. She held our hands (virtually) through a stressful time with patience, calm and humor. We now have a home we love and a neighborhood even better than we imagined."- Brooke Capps

★★★★★
" I cannot recommend Tana enough! She helped me with the purchase of my home from A to Z and beyond. I was looking for a house that had to fit several uncommon criteria. Tana found exactly a house like that for me very quickly. She went beyond and above her call of duty to provide references to handymen and other experts who could help me make repairs and informed decisions. Also, she saved me a lot of money by pointing out the things that I did not have to do to achieve what I wanted. Tana also has excellent organization, coordination. communication, planning and follow-through skills. This helped us go from one step to the next smoothly and stress-free. She is a pleasure to be around. I strongly recommend Tana to anyone looking for a competent and dedicated realtor. "- James Livingston

" We want to express our sincere gratitude and appreciation of the professional service provided to us by Tana Widdows. We recently sold our home. Tana was attentive, effective and extremely professional throughout the inherently difficult and challenging states of the listing, multiple offers, sales, negotiations, and ultimately the sale of our home for 25% over the listing price. The sale of ones personal residence brings with it, and unavoidable level of stress and anxiety. We much appreciated Tana’s understanding of this and her steady and professional style throughout the process. We are happy to provide our personal recommendation to anyone whoo is considering sale of their home or the purchase of a new home in this unique and challenging real estate market. We much enjoyed being represented by Tana Widdows as our real estate agent. "- Sherrie Graves

" Tana is so patient. I thought many times how thankful we were to have her helping us navigate a new area where we didn’t know anyone or how to get around. She is helpful, available when I was ready to look at homes and encouraging when our offers were rejected. Tana has a good insight into the market and will go the extra mile in whatever direction you are headed. And in this market we looked in every possible direction until we finally landed. "

" Tana was simply terrific in helping me sell a rental house I owned. She helped guide me through what repairs and upgrades would be worthwhile and which would not. Just before the house went on the market, Tana had to fly to California for a family matter and then took the red-eye back and was showing the house the next day. Kept me updated once or twice a day during the entire process...completely stress-free so far as I was concerned. House sold the first weekend at a great price. Totally satisfied! "- Kim Jones

"Tana did an amazing job selling our upper-Westside home. She made the entire process go smoothly for us. We interviewed several agents before asking Tana to represent us. Her professionalism and positive personality put her a cut above the others. We trusted Tana with a very big step in our lives and she went above and beyond. We could not be happier." - Michael & Lisa

★★★★★
"Tana did an absolutely fabulous job helping us find a home in a very tough sellers market. She quickly developed a feel for what we needed and made sure we were aware of new listing as soon as they hit the market which was really important given the competition for new listing. Her knowledge of the locals areas is strong and she was able to quickly know whether the area we were looking at would be a good fit for out needs. She had great advice and insight when it came to writing our offers and we managed get our offer accepted quickly by meeting some specific terms that Tana's knowledge about the sellers needs informed us about." - Chris

★★★★★
"I recently was lucky enough to have Tana represent me for the sale of my house. I cannot say enough good things about her. . Tana is a consummate professional, a stickler for details and always does things right. Her understanding of the real estate market and her mastery of the process made a difficult sale go really smoothly. Watching her put the sale together and handle all the little issues that arose was impressive. I honestly don't think it could possibly have been done any better. While Tana is amazingly good at her job, almost more important to me was that Tana is one of the kindest, most thoughtful people I have ever met. She really gave me a huge amount of moral support during what was a fairly traumatic event for me. I couldn't have done it without her. I really feel I have a genuine new friend. If you are buying or selling real estate, I strongly recommend that you call Tana. You will be pleased you did." - Peter

"We met Tana by chance at an open house she was hosting. We immediately were impressed with her honesty and positive attitude, and also felt like we clicked with her personality. We decided to work with her to find our "forever home", which was a multi year endeavor. We were looking for something very special, with a very specific price target. Our lengthy search would have scared off many agents, but Tana was with us every step of the way and was supportive and understanding throughout. When we finally found the right home she was a master of choosing the correct opening bid, managing the negotiation, and did it all with integrity and a smile. We also sold our previous home through Tana, and again we had some special requirements (namely expediting the process). Tana did a fantastic job of market research, and guided us toward a listing price which yielded multiple strong offers. She handled the sale wonderfully, with wisdom on how to stage the home, negotiations, and managed the whole process really well. We know that many agents would not have stuck with us through this journey, and without Tana we would not have found our dream home for a price we can afford. And we not only bought the perfect home, but we also found a wonderful friend in Tana. Thank you!!" - Sarah & Eamon

"We began looking at homes in mid-2017. We met Tana on our first round of open houses in which she was hosting one of them. We found her to be energetic and honest from that first meeting. She offered to spend time with us getting to know the Santa Cruz to Aptos neighborhoods. That's how we spent the following 3-4 visits to the area. She would focus on one neighborhood and show/discuss the highlights for that area. It was about a year before we made our first bid on a place. The third time was the charm as we bought a place about 18 months after first meeting Tana. This is a long time. Tana was patient with us, clearly explained our options, and offered advice when asked. She never pushed an agenda and made it clear that we should be happy with our purchase (great integrity). Her sense of humor is fantastic as we shared many laughs. We now consider Tana to be a close friend." - Fred & Charlotte

" My wife and I found it a pleasure to work with Tana on the sale of three properties. One of the properties was a land sale that proved to be quite difficult requiring plenty of patience and ingenuity. In the end, we had to go through more than one buyer/offer before we got just the right combination of buyer and property knowledge. Tana was willing to effectively go through nearly the full sales process more than once, yet she did it because she operates on the principle of doing what is right for all parties. On all three of our property sales we found that Tana would also guide us with the right negotiating elements to help make sure the deal maximized our opportunity, so we learned to trust her consultations. She is response, knowledgeable, always available, and kind. We highly recommend using Tana for transacting your property. "- Ken Herztler

" Tana was hands down the best thing about our home buying experience. She and her team advocated hard for us as first time home buyers, and they're the primary reason we were able to purchase our dream home.

★★★★★
" Ohhhhhh Dear Tana:)))) In the midst of my divorce during Covid and against all my wants and desires it became clear that I needed to sell my dream home to move forward. I called Tana originally because her headshot made me feel warm and had some kind of familiarity to it. I remember a good friend saying to me you should meet with at least 3 people. My thoughts were no, let me meet Tana and I'll decide from there if there needs to be more. Absolutely no more:) Tana from the get go made me feel at ease with what I was facing personally. She put absolutely NO pressure on me and only assisted me to make decisions, like.... good timing in listing, THE BEST STAGER EVER, contractors to help me get done what I needed in the timeframe I needed, advise on the offers that came through and even though I felt I needed to rush, she held me to wait because she felt it would work in my favor. She is exceptional and anyone who works with or has worked with her I'm sure will agree. Oh and A above and beyond gesture, when I asked Tana if she could help me sell my fathers home that was nowhere near her neighborhood of work, she researched and talked personally with a realtor to assist me in that journey as well. ABOVE & BEYOND! "- Stacey Zawoyski

★★★★★
"Tana is the best realtor we’ve used. She goes above and beyond to make the buying experience smooth and fun. We required a ton of extra help and she handled everything!! She is very knowledgeable about the area and the process. "- Lorraine Whitt
