"Tara was an excellent realtor, she was able to understand my needs and preferences and direct me to the buildings that would suit my needs and that were within my budget. She was able to advise me on the pros and cons of each building, while also letting me come to my own decision. She was very patient with me and was willing to help me through the application process, which was very helpful."
- Thanasi B.

"I was moving to Chicago with no knowledge of the city, and Tara helped me find the perfect spot! She is very knowledgeable, and I have since recommended her to my boyfriend in his search for an apartment. When Tara helped me find my apartment, I changed my mind about 5 times, and she was very flexible each time I changed my mind. Thank you, Tara!" - Elana H.

"I worked with Tara as I was out of town and I needed someone checking apartments for me. She was extremely helpful and patient. She visited several options and did virtual tours with me. She was honest about potential problems with specific apartments even if they were more expensive than the one I ended up getting, proving that she cared about me being happy with the end result more than cashing some extra bucks. Moving tends to be a very stressful situation and thanks to Tara, at least the finding a new place part, was smoother than I anticipated. I would definitely work with her again and recommend for anyone needing someone responsive and knowledgeable" - Jose R.

About Tara
Tara has been helping clients buy, sell, and rent in Chicagoland for the past 15 years. She is a true expert in the various neighborhoods that make up the city of Chicago, as well as the North Shore suburbs. Tara has resided in the beautiful suburb of Wilmette for the past 4 years and is your go-to for everything it has to offer - from neighborhoods and schools to coffee shops and restaurants. She loves the community and takes pride in helping others make it their home as well. Tara is thrilled to have recently joined The Dave + Amy Chung team and is eager to use her unique experience of both the city and suburban markets to guide clients in their journey to buy and/or sell a home.

Described by clients as thoughtful, responsive, down to earth, and resourceful, Tara takes pride in making the process of renting, buying, or selling as seamless and stress free as possible and provides exceptional customer service from start to finish. Her clients often turn into friends as she is able to gain their trust and confidence while also making the experience fun.

Tara moved to Chicago over 20 years ago to attend Columbia College, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts in Marketing. She immediately fell in love with the city and its incredible energy, vibrant culture, and unique neighborhoods. She now resides in the North Shore suburb of Wilmette with her husband, twin daughters, and dog Theo. Whether helping clients in the city or North Shore - Tara loves using her extensive knowledge to help them choose the best fit based on lifestyle, schools and park districts, commute, and all of the other important details that factor into this important decision.

When not working with clients, she enjoys spending time with her family, traveling, curling up with a good book, exploring Chicago's incredible dining scene, and taking advantage of all that the North Shore has to offer.
