ZillowVERIFIEDTamara was available when we needed her at a moment's notice throughout a long house hunting process that stopped and started a few times. When it came time to make an offer, she helped us craft one that beat out several other offers and was accepted. Love our new home!

ZillowVERIFIED Tamara is an outstanding realtor. She is hard working, focused, knowledgeable and honest. She sold my property in less than 2 weeks and her attention to detail is impressive. She does extensive market research which is in valuable and is a perfectionist when it comes to staging your property and photographing it. I would definitely recommend Tamara and already have!

ZillowVERIFIED Tamara is AMAZING!!!! Buying a home is always stressful. Selling a home can be challenging. Doing both at once a bit overwhelming, then add in a global pandemic and it's like - Whoa, so crazy. My husband and I could not have been happier with the care, commitment and expertise that Tamara provided us. We ended up selling our starter house for 25K over asking and found our dream home that we call "the palace" - all within 2 days!!! From the moment we met I was impressed with Tamara's responsiveness, transparency and guidance. Tamara was just great to work with and work she did! From emails, texts, calls and tours she knocked it out of the park every single time. For the rest of our home-buying/selling needs we will always call Tamara. She's simply the best!

ZillowVERIFIED Being first time home buyers, we had no clue where to start or how to go about the process. Once we met Tamara we knew it was the best fit. She answered all of our questions right away no matter the time or day! She really helped guide us along this journey and was always so enthusiastic and positive! Tamara did everything in her power to make it as seamless and enjoyable. Buying a home can be a daunting task but it never felt that way with her leading us in the right direction! We cannot thank her enough for helping us find our dream home but most importantly being a great person!

ZillowVERIFIED Prior to working with Tamara, we had a poor experience in the homebuying process. However, this was NOT the case once we started working with her! She was extremely responsive, professional, respectful, and understanding of our questions as well as the fatigue that comes with the stress of home buying! We felt so supported in every question and decision we had and it made our home buying process so much fun and so enjoyable. We cannot say enough good things about Tamara!

ZillowVERIFIED As someone that was not from the Madison area and a first time home buyer, Tamara was extremely helpful in helping me find a home and walking me through the home buying process.

ZillowVERIFIED Tamara is absolutely the best! She has helped my husband and I with three different purchases now, and has been so responsive, thorough, and so enjoyable to work with. She gives sage advice while allowing us to proceed as we see fit, and she really strives to understand us as buyers. Plus she gives great referrals for inspectors, loans, etc. Our inspector actually told us that she was one of the handful of agents he'd take referrals from because of her integrity. She'll always be our go-to for our property purchases.

ZillowVERIFIED We used Tamara to both buy and sell (7 years apart) our condo in Stoughton. When we were looking for a new place for my Mom, she pointed us to the types of properties that would most appeal to her and helped us find the perfect place. When it came time to sell, she did an awesome job and we quickly had several excellent offers to choose from. Beyond that, she is just so helpful and keeps you in the loop with the process as it plays out. Couldn't recommend her more highly.

ZillowVERIFIED Tamara is at the very top of her profession. I can honestly say, aEURoeI dont know how she does itaEUR?. Tamara saved the day for me. I needed extra time to put together my mortgage. Tamara kept the seller totally calm and even negotiated an early move in day for me. I was on the verge of moving in with family or even worse a hotel but Tamara convincingly pulled it all together. Shes the very BEST realtor Ive ever had the pleasure to work with. You can always trust Tamara.

ZillowVERIFIED We loved working with Tamara! She was so kind and knowledgeable. She was quick to get back to us always being available to show properties and made us feel like her only clients! We absolutely love our new home thanks to Tamara helping us find it. We had five offers on our previous home and thanks to Tamara the price was able to driven up with her negotiating skills! Couldnt imagine a better realtor for us to have used!

Review for Member: TAMARA MCDOUGAL
ZillowVERIFIED Tamara is absolutely incredible! My husband and I were first time home buyers who really didn't know anything about the process. She was recommended to us by a friend and we were so happy to connect with her. She was extremely responsive - we reached out by sending an email explaining our situation. She responded right away and by the end of the week we had taken so many steps and accomplished so many tasks with her guidance. She knows a great deal about the Madison area, the market, and the entire process of home buying from start to finish. She helped us secure our dream home when we were in competition for the house. Everything moved very quickly in our situation and she was very organized and on top of all deadlines, next steps, etc. She always took the time to explain things to us and answered all of our questions. She is diligent, detail-oriented, and truly an expert at what she does.We always looked forward to seeing her and we enjoyed all of the time we got to spend with her through showings and other times during the process. We could not have done this without her, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Review for Member: TAMARA MCDOUGAL
ZillowVERIFIED Finding a home with Tamara was a great process. This is our first home and Tamara was patient and took her time to explain the nuances of the process in detail, very much appreciated from first time buyers. Being a firefighter Tamara also brought to my attention an extra credit that she could apply to help us. We were able to see all of the homes we wanted as long as they were still on the market, but what really set Tamara apart is that she would also add potential homes on the itinerary and she would leave it up to us if we would visit them. We ultimately ended up buying a house that was a suggestion from her and that we had overlooked because it was a bit above the absolute maximum we wanted to spend. She guided us to submitting an offer that left everyone satisfied, if it wasn't for her expertise we would not be in be in our current home. Tamara is dedicated and easy to work with and ever since closing day, a welcome addition to our family. Thank you for all you're help, your welcome anytime to come check on the progress!!

ZillowVERIFIED Tamara was amazing in helping my wife and I purchase our dream home. We had made a few trips to Madison from out of state in search our new home. From the time we first called until now (a month after we closed) Tamara was very responsive, patient and diligent with assisting us in the purchase. Throughout the process it seemed as she was our personal real estate agent. I cant say enough good things about our experience, and I highly recommend Tamara to anyone looking for one of the best.

ZillowVERIFIED You would be nothing but blessed to have the opportunity to work with this gem. My husband and I were referred to Tamara by a friend and we couldnt be more grateful. We were first time home buyers with a lot to learn about the area and the process; it was an exhausting time for us. Tamara was the ray of sunshine through this experience. I looked forward to seeing her more than any houses we looked at! Her knowledge and professionalism are obvious in everything she does, while still being personable. She was incredibly prompt with communication and very generous with her time. One thing I appreciated most is that she was honest with her feedback. I truly couldnt say enough good things about Tamara- she is one in a million.

ZillowVERIFIED We just wanted to leave a quick review in praise of Tamara. She assisted us in purchasing our new home. Tamara always had a smile and was so quick to respond and get the job done which was ideal since we were kind of in a time crunch. She honestly deserves the highest praise. Not only did she help us find our dream home but she did it by truly listening and taking all of our wants and needs into consideration. She also did a great job of communicating with the previous owner and their realtor in order to ensure that our closing was super smooth. We will definitely be referring our family and friends to Tamara. She is truly the greatest!

ZillowVERIFIED Tamara is amazing to work with! She really helped us narrow down what we were looking for in our first home (by tirelessly and patiently showing us lots of options.) When we went to put offers in, she clearly explained everything and made the process much less stressful. We eventually found a house that was exactly the right amount of 'fixer upper'. Tamara is so personable and warm- we were a little sad when we bought our house because looking at houses with her was so much fun! We highly recommend working with Tamara!

ZillowVERIFIED Tamara was recommended to me by a trusted friend who is also in real estate. Wow did he make a great match! Tamara put me at ease right away. I was a first-time buyer and the process was very overwhelming at times. She walked me through every step, taking the time to explain details and make sure I felt comfortable with all decisions. Her disposition is sunny and optimistic, but when it comes to negotiating she definitely held her own. I couldn't be happier with Tamara's service and I will be sure to use her again in the future.

ZillowVERIFIED My husband and I used Tamara as our real estate agent when buying our first home. We hope that she will be our future realtor when buying and selling in the future! Tamara was amazing to work with. She perfectly balances professionalism with personability. Being new to the home-buying process, we benefited from her years of experience. Tamara thoroughly walked us through the process, making each step very clear while being beyond patient with our many questions. At all steps of the way, she put our needs and wants as the priority, instead of attempting to make a quick sale. She listened to our wants and worked tirelessly to find a house to match. I really appreciate her posing thoughtful questions during showings, ensuring that we didnt make an impulsive offer that wed later regret. Tamara was incredibly responsive to our emails and texts and was able to get us into homes within a day. In turn she helped us find our current home within a month! While making plans for updates and repairs, Tamara pointed us in the direction of several professionals who we have since used and enjoyed. She was able to use her endless connections to get us speedy inspections and quotes which helped move along in the process. We highly recommend Tamara

ZillowVERIFIED Tamara is the best! She helped us sell and buy. She is very responsive, knowledgeable, hard working and caring. She is right there with you every step of the way. We interviewed 4-5 realtors before deciding to move forward with Tamara, and we still feel that it was a great decision.

ZillowVERIFIED This is our second time using Tamara to purchase a home and our first time using her to sell a home. Tamara is extremely knowledgeable in the real-estate industry. Answering questions in a timely manner via many avenues (call/text/email). We know she is busy (because we have referred her to many friends) yet you feel like her #1 priority. We were in the market for a specific property and ended up finding one farther out than expected. Tamara was always prompt to appointments even being over an hour away. At closing I expressed how sad I was to know this would be our aEURoeforever homeaEUR? and that meant we would see less of her. Tamara has become more a friend to us. She will share in frustrations and celebrate the victories. Even after closing she still checks in on us and is always excited to see home projects.

Review for Member: TAMARA MCDOUGAL
ZillowVERIFIED What can we say about Tamara except if you are looking for a house, she is your gal! My wife and I initially started looking for a house in Dane County but quickly figured out working with Tamara that to get the house we wanted at the price we could afford we would need to expand our search. Tamara was very professional during those conversations and was honest in managing our expectations. When we finally found our home the seller of the house was less than accommodating with viewing/inspection times but Tamara didnt skip a beat. She kept the pressure on and shared a few laughs with us along our journey to home ownership. Without a Realtor who could laugh off our unique personalities and even share our frustration we could have easily left with a sour taste in our mouth instead of just wanting to make our house ours! I would use Tamara again in the future without a doubt and I am very picky in who I choose to share my time with.

ZillowVERIFIED What can I say about Tamara that hasn't already been said by countless others who have been lucky enough to have her represent them in a home sale or purchase? Outstanding among her attributes for me were: 1) She is dedicated and tireless in her efforts to represent you; 2) She answers any and all questions you might have and in a timely manner; 3) She truly gets to know and follow your wishes as either a seller or buyer. I have had the pleasure of working with Tamara for two home purchases and one home sale. I would not hesitate to call her again or to highly recommend her to anyone else.

ZillowVERIFIED Tamara was a delight to work with from the beginning of our home-buying endeavor to the end. Not only was she incredibly quick with responses (both via email and phone/text) to our many questions, she provided answers that were easily understandable for someone not familiar with the many processes involved with buying a home. She made sure we found the perfect home and helped us negotiate effectively with the seller. She was our advocate from day one, and guided us expertly through every step. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

ZillowVERIFIED Tamara came to us highly-recommended by daughter and son-in-law who used her to list their home. They had interviewed many realtors and Tamara rose to the top! When looking for a home, the market was extremely competitive. Tamara's skills helped us to write an offer that was accepted...she is trustworthy, professional, savy, understands the market, looks out for her clients. She has many connections within the industry and even helped us locate a mortgage lender.

Review for Member: TAMARA MCDOUGAL
ZillowVERIFIED Tamara gets my highest recommendation for folks looking to buy or sell in the Madison area. We worked with Tamara this past year after moving to the area from out of state and being incredibly frustrated with the tight market. We were in a rental and had time to wait for what Tamara promised would be aEURoethe right house.aEUR? She was phenomenal at keeping in touch (via phone, email, and text), had great instincts about the worth of properties and what they would sell at, was endlessly optimistic even when we were starting to lose faith, and was tireless in helping us search house after house until we fell in love with one. (Though she found very solid options right away, so if folks are in a hurry, shed be great with that, too.) When we found the house we loved, she helped us get in touch with our banker at home on the weekend (!!) to get us a slightly higher approval letter for the offer. We got the house! In a crazy competitive market. Tamara helped connect us with a great inspector and subsequent contractors who have helped with renovations. Shes still super responsive even though were not her current clients. She answers questions and checks in from time to time. We adore Tamara! She helped make a horribly stressful process so much more comfortable, helped explain the entire process, and was endlessly reliable and trustworthy. I cant reocmmend her highly enough! She really is the best.

ZillowVERIFIED I was introduced to Tamara through the Homes for Heroes program. She has helped me purchase two homes and sell one. Tamara was very patient in showing us homes and helping us through some sticky negotiations. She also helped us find a good contractor to deal with some issues that were found during the inspection. She is very personable and fun to work with.

ZillowVERIFIED Tamara was extremely helpful throughout the entire buying process. We were moving 150 miles away, only had weekends to come and look at houses, plus we were on a tight deadline before the new school year started. We were considering a variety of locations, and Tamara had a ready list of houses worth consideration. She knew exactly what we were looking for, yet didn't hesitate to recommend some options that were a little outside of our parameters. By the time we purchased, we really felt like we saw everything possible in order to make the best decision. I would recommend Tamara!

Review for Member: TAMARA MCDOUGAL
ZillowVERIFIED I couldn't imagine having a better buyer's agent than Tamara, as a first-time home buyer. She was quick to respond to any questions that I had, and helped explain the entire home buying process during each phase. From day one I felt as though she was genuinely invested in finding a home that best fit my budget and expectations. I was paired with Tamara through the Homes for Heroes (HFH) program, as a first responder. With a busy and difficult to manage schedule, Tamara was always mindful of my schedule and made every effort to schedule showings and phone calls at times that worked best for me; a little thing that meant a lot to me. I have several friends and co-workers that are in the market for buying their first/next home and I have recommended Tamara to each one of them. Tamara made the entire process easy and fun for me, the fact that she gives back to those who serve others by participating in the HFH program is just an added bonus. I can confidently say that I wouldn't have found a better home without her help and expertise.

ZillowVERIFIED Working with Tamara to find my home was such a pleasure! After the experience that I had with her, I couldnt imagine buying another home, or even selling my current home, with anyone else! Ill use her as long as I'm were both in the same area!! Tamara was so personable, positive and full of great energy. She really listened to what I wanted and let me lead a lot of the time, which was great as she had so much more knowledge than me, but she really let me learn and feel things out, which I was so appreciative of. She was also so full of knowledge when it came to home renovating, what the costs could potentially be to help me stay on track and how to go about some services that I hadnt thought of and really had no clue about. I really appreciated working with her and also getting to know her as a person. I cannot tell you how much fun she was to work with! Tamara also really looked out for me when I was looking at different houses and letting me know if maybe that wasnt the best area or to really think about an area and what activities I enjoy doing and if that area could accommodate those activities. Again, I cant reiterate how knowledgeable she is and how willing she was to share that knowledge, which is such a huge plus! She was also really open about her own personal experiences with buying a condo, selling it and eventually buying a house herself and what that journey looked like to give you some piece of mind about your own journey. Tamara is truly an empathetic person and just a wonder to work with. I remember when I first spoke with her about having her show me some houses (we met at a mutual friends house warming party) and she cautioned me to interview other realtors as well and not just settle on her as she knew that I hadnt spoken to anyone else at that time. That blew me away a bit and after meeting with her once more at a later date, it just solidified for me that she cared and was the right person for me to work with. I dont think anyone could go wrong with Tamara!

ZillowVERIFIED Tamara McDougal was recommended to me when I needed to purchase a property in Madison Wisconsin. I cant say enough good things about her. She has a superior of the market, and guided to me to the perfect location in a city with which city that I was unfamiliar. There was intense competition for the property I purchased, and Tamara and Tamara's responsiveness and tenacity helped guide me to "winning." She answered every question and walked me through every part of the process clearly and thoroughly. Buying a home in this market is challenging, but working with Tamara made it as painless and straightforward as possible. I highly recommend her.

ZillowVERIFIED We moved to Madison from out of state and weren't familiar with the area. Having only talked to us once by phone Tamara was able to find us a really nice property in a great neighborhood, on the first try! It's apparent that she's experienced and knows Madison well. We were especially impressed by how she kept in communication with us throughout the process and never left us wondering and waiting about anything. She went above and beyond for us and made the move quick and painless. She also has a nice personality, very easy to work with.

ZillowVERIFIED Tamara is an amazing Real Estate Professional who worked tirelessly to find a house that fit all our criteria. We feel Tamara made us her first priority while looking at houses. Tamara happily showed us approximately 25 homes in 3 days. Moving to Madison from over 900 miles away, Tamara continues to stay in contact with us as we settle in to our new home. Tamara is exceptional and we will ask Tamara to work with us the next time we need a Real Estate Professional.

ZillowVERIFIED I have had the pleasure to work with Tamara on the purchase of my home and the sale of my father's home. Both experiences proved extremely successful and all objectives were accomplished in a short amount of time. Tamara is honest, hard working, and professional. She consistently goes the extra mile. Tamara performs an extensive amount of due diligence on properties of interest to her clients and goes above and beyond what is normally expected and required of a realtor. I have purchased and sold many properties all over the United States and have yet to meet a realtor as competent as Tamara!

ZillowVERIFIED We cannot recommend Tamara enough! My family recently relocated from Denver to the Madison area, and Tamara helped us navigate the local real estate market with patience and expertise. We have now settled into a new home that we love. As a Madison area native, Tamara has extensive knowledge of the area and patiently took our family around to various areas to help acquaint and focus us. Through the entire process, we felt she was a true team player and went above and beyond to provide an excellent customer service experience. Tamara was very professional throughout the process. Additionally, she provided us with expert guidance that allowed us to ultimately win our home in a competitive situation. Tamara is also a genuinely nice person and a pleasure to be around. We really can't say enough about Tamara. If you choose her as your agent, you won't be disappointed!

ZillowVERIFIED Tamara sold our condo for us in Madison in a day! She was always looking out for our best interests, made recommendations we could do to get the most for our property and she knows how to negotiate. We ended up having about 8 showings in 2 days, but we did get an offer over asking after the first day, which we accepted! There were a few things to work out and Tamara always had our backs, and made the process as painless as possible! We're now in our new home closer to family! We would definitely recommend Tamara for anyone looking to buy or sell their home!

ZillowVERIFIED We purchased our house last October. Tamara was exceptional to work with. She is very knowledgeable regarding real estate. She understands your needs and helps you find the best property. She is never pushy and very honest with her opinions. We were driving from an hour away to see the houses and she was always happy to show us the properties after my work and on the weekends. While buying a house is never an easy process, having a great real estate agent makes this so much easier.
