Agent Details

Meet Tara

I grew up in a small postcard-like ski town in Colorado, where my love for the outdoors began, participating in as many outdoor activities as possible. As the ski town expanded, I followed my brother’s footsteps to the Flathead Valley. For the past 3 decades I have made the Flathead Valley my home.

In 2001, my husband, father, and I ventured into residential and commercial subdivision development in and around Bigfork. When the market experienced a downturn in 2008, I adapted by obtaining my property management license and began managing the properties we had developed. In 2015, recognizing the need to offer comprehensive services to my clients, I obtained my real estate sales license, followed by my Brokers license in 2018.

My extensive expertise across multiple facets of the real estate industry, from development to management to sales agent, has enabled me to build a diverse skill set. Through this, I am able to consistently deliver exceptional results and provide unparalleled service to my clients. I am proud to say that I have earned the trust, referrals, and most importantly, the friendship of my clients. I love Montana and all it has to offer; the people, the beauty, the opportunity. Let me share my love of Montana with you and help you find your piece of paradise.
