In their words.
★★★★★"Tami knew her market - what would get people’s attention. She kept us informed all the way through the process - communication was to everyone whenever anything was/could be important. No detail was ignored whether it was positive or negative. Thank you Tami for everything!"
★★★★★"I came to work with Tami after a very disappointing experience with another realtor. She came highly recommended by others that had worked with her. She absolutely exceeded the high expectation I already had of her based on everyone else’s praises! She knows the area very well. She can tell you anything you want to know about schools, businesses and everything in between. The process of home buying was very smooth and professional, including her team of lenders and attorneys. She works hard in your interest as the buyer (and I’m sure sellers as well). No matter when I had questions she would always answer in a way that never made me feel like I had bothered her and she was happy to help. She even was so sweet to present us and my kids with a personalized welcome home gift when we had closed on our house! We would highly and sincerely recommend her. "
The questions we get most.
Do I need to be pre-approved before we look?+
Pre-approval doesn't cost anything and takes about 20 minutes with a good lender. It also lets you write real offers when the right home shows up. We recommend it before the second tour.
How much should I budget for closing costs?+
Plan for roughly 2–3% of the purchase price. Some of it can be negotiated with the seller depending on the market.
Do you charge buyers directly?+
In most transactions the seller's side covers buyer representation. If a specific home requires anything different, you'll know before we tour it.
How fast can we close?+
Cash: 10–14 days. Financed: typically 30–35 days. We map the timeline to your life, not the other way around.
Tell Tami what you're looking for.
Even a rough idea helps — timeline, area, budget, must-haves. Tami follows up personally, typically within an hour.
