My review for Tara is a pretty long but I wanted to make sure it was comprehensive. I have so many…read moregood things to say about Tara and I wasn't able to fit them all in this review. I broke things down into sections so you can get the gist of what I'm saying. She really does live up to all the hype. I HIGHLY recommend her. *Real-estate is one of her passions For Tara real estate seemed more like her calling than just a job to her. She is genuinely passionate about what she does, which is a very desirable trait in an agent. Ask her about how she talks contract strategies with her lawyer friends in her spare time; the aura of her enthusiasm will be tough to miss. It's the type of enthusiasm you can tell has been cultivated for a long time. When she fondly reminisced about how she used walk through half constructed homes with her father as a child, I knew she had found the right profession. The drive and energy Tara gains from her passion is a big part of what makes her such a formidable agent. *She can be pretty blunt and has a strong personality. She says what is on her mind and she will be firm (but not unyielding) about her views. If you are overly sensitive this might rub you the wrong way at times. She even admitted to me she is aware some of her clients feel this way. I think it takes character to own up to your criticisms. Personally I didn't see these traits as negatives. I think her bluntness makes her very easy to communicate with and more trustworthy. Furthermore I felt that her strong personality inspired confidence and is a boon in such a competitive vocation. She is the exact type of person you want to have on your side during negotiations! *She Emphasizes Quality over quantity Tara limits herself to a specific number of clients at a time. Despite being stellar at her profession, she has a finite amount of time and energy. By balancing her workload she ensures you get quality service. This is the type of realtor you want to have. Tara's goal is build a good reputation by investing in her clients. Tara's success rate is very impressive and her two Five Star Professional titles are well deserved. Being in the 95th percentile of one of the hottest real-estate markets in the country means she is doing a lot of things right. *She goes above and beyond Tara always puts in a 110%. She told me it's hard for her not to get emotionally invested in her clients, and REALLY wants to get them a win! If you are willing to go the extra mile, she will be there with you the whole way. This really paid off for me on the home we closed on. The owners were accepting offers as they came, and Tara managed to squeeze a viewing in that night at 10:00 PM. Earlier that day she had put another clients listing on the market, mediate a million dollar reroofing contract at her HOA board meeting and almost ran out of gas on the way to our viewing. She told me she had one of the worst days in a while. Despite being totally drained from all the days' hurdles she pushed through, showing me the house and then stayed until midnight doing market research so we could put in an offer the next day! Needless to say her extra efforts are what made my offer timely and won me the home I wanted. When things are moving fast Tara will make time for you. She was always reasonably quick to respond and would even reply at late hours or on holidays. When I say "reasonably quick" I mean that she did a fantastic job getting back to me while still managing her other clients. Don't expect to get 100% of her attention all the time, this is unrealistic. She will be there for you when it REALLY counts. For example I was forced into a pre-inspection on very short notice, 2 days from Sunday. I was terrified about getting a good inspector scheduled that quickly but Tara handled the situation like a champ. She asked some of her other clients if they could move their Monday inspection to later that week. It worked out well for them so they agreed. The inspector then filled his Monday slot with my appointment. Adaptability in such a volatile market is a crucial skill for a realtor to have! *Technical Expertise (house structure) Tara is very knowledgeable about how houses are constructed, and what good vs bad craftsmanship is. Tara built up her pool of technical knowledge through years of house walk throughs and a lot of hands on home remodeling. Being a very inquisitive electrical engineer Tara allowed me to visit her project home to see what the guts a house look like. Again I was VERY impressed with the knowledge she demonstrated and what projects she and her boyfriend had tackled. Whether it was re-framing walls, rewiring circuits, jack hammering and resealing pipes in concert floors, or jacking up their ENTIRE BASEMENT CEILING to weld in a city approved steel I-Beam support. She is definitely a technical minded person when it comes to homes and even cars!

October 28, 2016 To whom it may concern,…read more I've known Tara for around 20 years and when it came time for my wife and I to sell and buy a new home, she was our first choice. Working with Tara has been a wonderful and very professional experience. She was punctual and well prepared for all of our appointments. She was very clear and up-front about what costs and experiences to expect at each point in the process. She made time for in-person meetings, late-night phone calls, last-minute viewings, and was prompt, responsive, and thorough in answering all of our questions. When we sold our home, the experience at each phase of the sales effort was superior. She saw our property for what it was and advised a selling price for its true worth. She used innovative efforts to develop prospective buyers, provided useful insights on pre-listing renovations, professional staging, and photography. Tara performed effective showings and facilitation during the sale negotiations. All of these tasks, whether business-related or interpersonal, were accomplished with a noticeable degree of competence, humility, integrity, and grace. She was extremely professional, helpful, and handled all as my wife and I were working and busy with a new son. Our house appraised and sold for more than the asking price and within the average time for our area. As we were shopping for a new home, she took the time to listen to what was important to us and selected a range of homes well-fit to our desires. She recommended a number of high-quality professionals to work with on the other aspects of our purchase, such as lenders, inspectors, and title companies, but always allowed us to make our own decisions on who to work with. She spent long days showing us homes, sometimes over a dozen in a day, for weeks so we could feel comfortable making an offer on a home we felt would be a good fit for our family. When it came time to write an offer, she led us through the process and was always present for important appointments such as the home inspection and title signing, in order to provide counsel and coordinate between the multitude of parties involved in making a home purchase. She always encouraged and enabled us to perform our due diligence before signing any contracts. The entire process, despite many hurdles, went quite smoothly due to Tara's management. Tara was very informative and it was obvious that she takes every action she can to protect her clients. She fought for us when needed and was always there to listen or to provide some advice. Above all, she made sure that we had everything we needed to make well-informed decisions. She was very clear about the laws, regulations, and standards of her practice. She constantly made sure that we were fully aware of all our options and their consequences. Overall, Tara is a fantastic realtor and made selling our house and looking for a new one a pleasure. We recommend her to all of our friends and family looking to buy or sell their property. Respectfully submitted, Andrew Aleshire

The other provider had a great first-time homebuyer incentive, but their customer service was terrible and was only open 5 days a week.

We needed someone who could guide and educate us throughout the process with no judgement and who could be honest with us. Chris was that person and we really appreciated the countless times he spent with us over the phone when we had tons of questions and qualms about something, even after hours and weekends. He explains everything the best he can and each phone call always ended with us feeling relieved and more educated. We truly appreciate you and your passion in your work.

I did not want to own property in a state I no longer live in. I interviewed a few Realtors, even some I worked with in the past. Everyone had the same answers, and most were suggesting listing well below market and selling out quick. As I would explain that my properties were very well maintained, updated over the years, and not in rough areas, I received a few rude responses. I was feeling as if no one saw any value in working hard to sell my all my property. As I was about to give up and sell as a "For sale by owner", I met Maggie Vreeburg and I am so glad I did not give up. Maggie was very professional, polite, and attentive to what I was expecting as an outcome. Maggie explained market trends in the different areas my properties were in and created a strategy on ways to market each one. In most cases, we had multiple offers above list price. Maggie made the process from listing to closing very easy and I left Washington state a lot wealthier than I intended to. Thank you! Maggie Vreeburg.

I purchased my condo with Maggie a year ago. The first month…read moreafter I moved in, the water tank broke down and caused over $20000 damage to the place. Also It took 5 month to fully repair the whole place, everyday I was living in a disaster and have to deal with everything mess all by myself and feel very depressed. It took me long time to recover from that situation and now I finally have energy to give the review. I won't blame the whole thing in her since I did waived the inspection. But I want to point out Maggie is not a responsible agent at all since she didn't give me much help. 1. The biggest point I think she is not professional is: I specifically asked the water tank age for 4-5 times to Maggies, she never got me the answer even I was pushing her to. It turns out it was a 20 years old water tank in the end and caused a dramatic damage to the place right after I moved in. The water tank is a highly risky point, after that I know every buyers' agent will take this as a check point to give recommandations, but she completely ignored it, even I was suspicious and push her to get the answer, she failed to get me the answer, I even think she was not taking me seriously because I was so unfamiliar with the whole process. 2. During the buying process, it was me continuously searching on redfin and reach out to Maggie to schedule the visit. During the visit, it was also me using my poor knowdge trying to ask right questions, (like the water tank age, Maggies didn't even mention it) I also went through other agents, they will actually ask me about my requirement and make valid recommandations. 3. After everything happens she immediately says it's not related to her at all because I waived the inspection, even at first I was just trying to see whether the prvious owner can be responsible for they lied about the 20 years water tank (they said they replaced it 10 years ago) she didn't even try to help me. All in all, she is not professional and was not even trying to represents my interest. I regret a lot why I choose her I would say she does did something right: 1. The loaner she recommanded was very helpful and efficient. 2. She was nice and polite. But this is not what I need from a agent :) If you are a new home buyer, don't choose her because she cannot help you.
