"Tara was extremely professional, well-prepared, and responsive. I have never had such a pleasant experience with a real estate broker, and I will definitely be calling Tara again for my next move, which will hopefully not be for a long time!/i>" - William

"Tara is not only the best real estate agent that I've ever worked with (and I've worked with several over the years), but also one of the most hard-working, thoughtful, and results-oriented professionals I've ever met. My wife and I have worked with Tara as both buyers and sellers. I would unequivocally recommend her in either or both capacities as we had a top notch experience on both sides of the coin. No one will work harder for you, be more prepared for you, and give you the best shot for the best result possible in your real estate journey. Tara is going to put you in the absolute best position you can be in with your property. I would (and have) recommend her to anyone looking to either buy or sell a property in Los Angeles and she would be my first call if I were ever looking to buy or sell in Los Angeles again./i>" - Miles Chan

What really sets Tara apart is her unwavering availability and proactivity. The market in LA can move quickly, and Tara made sure we never missed a beat by being available 24/7, even at short notice. This level of dedication allowed us to act fast on properties, negotiate efficiently, and stay ahead of other interested parties. Tara was always a partner in the process, ensuring we always felt confident with next steps.We are lucky to work with her and recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a real estate agent who will go the extra mile to deliver outstanding results!/i>" - Zara Patel

"Working with Tara Burns was an absolute dream! From the very first meeting, it was clear that she is not just a realtor but a true professional who genuinely cares about her clients. Her knowledge of the local market is unparalleled, and she provided invaluable insights throughout the entire process. What sets Tara apart is her dedication and responsiveness. Her negotiation skills are second to none—she secured us an incredible deal that we didn't even think was possible! Tara's attention to detail and her ability to navigate the complex LA real estate market with ease made what could have been a stressful experience completely seamless and enjoyable. We felt supported every step of the way, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome.

"I had a wonderful time working with Melissa and Tara during the purchase of my new home in Beachwood Canyon. Melissa has a sweet and approachable style with her clients and is also very keen to negotiate hard to get her clients the best deal. And that she did! I can’t recommend her more!

"Tara helped my family buy, renovate and sell a condo on the Wilshire corridor with outstanding results. She is detail oriented and pays attention to the clients needs. Highly recommend." - Ary Sarbaz
Still, Tara’s path to becoming a real estate agent and advisor was not linear or predictable. After graduating from Vanderbilt University with a degree in Music and Communications, Tara moved to Manhattan to pursue a career in the performing arts before making the switch to her successful real estate career. As a classically trained vocalist and former Miss Tennessee, Tara’s confidence, presentation and public speaking skills have parlayed seamlessly into her real estate career and have had a direct impact on her ability to skillfully communicate and negotiate with buyers, sellers, agents and vendors.
Tara first began her real estate career in Manhattan where she quickly established herself as a top producer at her brokerage in both volume and client satisfaction. She later expanded her business to Los Angeles, now her primary market and full time residence, where she quickly became a top producing agent on a nationally ranked team before branching out on her own to join Compass and build her own brand. She now runs a small team of highly skilled agents whose focus is on quality, consistency and a relationship driven approach to every aspect of the transaction.
Above all, Tara values and prioritizes the people that she considers herself fortunate to call clients and friends. She combines her passion for design, aesthetically driven marketing and deal making with her relentless work ethic to elevate the experience of buying and selling in Los Angeles.
