First home, PCS move, or downsizing after decades in the family home: you’ll have a military spouse and Certified Senior Advisor in your corner, someone who knows Northern Virginia and knows what a move asks of a family.
A few recent closings from across Northern Virginia, from Springfield and Burke to Lorton and Stafford.
Helping people is my passion. As a military spouse, I’ve packed up and started over many times, across the U.S. and overseas, so I know how much a move asks of a family: new schools, new routines, and a hundred decisions at once.
My goal is simple: treat every client as if they’re my only client. I take the time to understand what matters most to you, give you honest advice even when it isn’t what you hoped to hear, and do everything I can to make the whole thing feel less stressful and a lot more enjoyable.
“She understands the unique nature of buying a home while in the military because she’s lived the experience personally.”Andreas T., military buyer
Leaving a home you’ve loved for decades is about much more than a sale. Whether you’re downsizing, moving closer to the grandkids, or helping a parent into a senior community, I’ll go at your pace and handle the details, with the whole family kept in the loop.
A first home, a PCS move, a smaller place closer to family: each one comes with its own questions. Pick the one that sounds like you, and we’ll start there.
Talk With Tamara
An online estimate has never seen your new roof or your finished basement. I’ll look at what homes like yours have actually sold for nearby, give you a free home value report, and map out how to get you the strongest offer.
I’ll tell you honestly when a house is overpriced, even if you’ve fallen for it. We’ll start with your commute, your budget and how you live, then move fast when the right one shows up, even if you’re house hunting from another state.
“Tamara did an amazing job helping us find a house in the DC area. She went above and beyond in the house search (19 homes in 1 weekend), closing, and move-in, including coordinating new carpet before we moved in. She understands buying a home while in the military because she’s lived it. I would highly, highly recommend Tamara for anyone PCS’ing to the DC area.”
“Tamara is simply amazing! As first-time home buyers, we could not have asked for a better person to guide us. Even better, she is honest. When we were impatient and ready to put an offer on an overpriced property, she worked relentlessly to find us a home more suited to our desires and price range.”
“Tamara came to the rescue. She helped us find our next home in a matter of weeks, after nearly three months with another agent. She was professional, authentic and knowledgeable, never rushed us, and was honest when a house or location wasn’t a fit.”
“A friend recommended Tamara to us. Within a few hours of contacting her she sent us information on multiple homes with our specifications. In addition to being very professional, Tamara is also very genuine and a pleasure to work with.”
“Tamara was very professional and nice. She really worked with me on scheduling appointments to see homes and making sure we found what we wanted. We are very happy in our new home!”
