ZillowVERIFIEDOur experience with Tara Savage was phenomenal. She is highly professional, perspective, extremely knowledgeable, has a strong work ethic and tireless. Tara sold our home of 17 years in record time for money than we believed possible and found us a gorgeous mountain retreat.

ZillowVERIFIED We had a great experience working with Tara and her team! Tara is the perfect blend of personal and professional. She arranged a showing schedule that accommodated our needs, and we went under contract within days. We couldn't be happier to have sold our house with her!

ZillowVERIFIED Tara was responsive to all my calls and texts no matter what day or time it was. Tara was very patient will me since I knew nothing about the real estate field.

ZillowVERIFIED Tara is an extremely knowledgeable realtor and knows Charlottesville inside and out! When it came to listing our unique property, she provided us with a detailed analysis explaining how she arrived at a reasonable and fair listing price. Due to Taras superb negotiating skills and extensive real estate background, our price was met. Both Tara and Colleen responded to our emails promptly and provided sound advice throughout the selling process, which proved to be invaluable. We highly recommend Savage and Company for your real estate needs.

ZillowVERIFIED Tara is more than a realtor she is a partner in your real estate transaction. She thinks outside of the box and is a master at navigating complicated transactions. Her depth of knowledge of the local area and her extensive knowledge of the real estate industry make her the person to have on your team when you go to make the largest investments of your life.

ZillowVERIFIED I cant say enough good things about Savage and Company. We estimate they saved us close to a 100k with their positive attitude and resourcefulness. I interviewed Tara Savage just out about of due diligence; I fully intended to go with the agent who most recently sold homes in our neighborhood. However, Tara stunned us by recommending that we list our house for a 100k over what the other agent recommended and she had an 80 page analysis to back that up. But it wasnt just the pricing that swayed us; I felt like her enthusiasm for the house would engage buyers. Plus they offered the use of a truck and some staging resources. Since we were down sizing and doing a phased move, the truck was invaluable. We made 10 trips or so to Goodwill and the new house. Tara and Colleen were with us every step of the way. They helped with staging and contributed some key pieces of furniture. They ran out to the house to do errands. They often asked us what we needed from them and how they could help. Though houses have been taking 6 months to sell in my neighborhood, we had multiple offers in 60 days and closed a month later with a full price contract. Tara was invaluable through negotiations. The buyer asked to close a month early and we were able to do do thanks to Colleen and Tara finding contractors and staying on top of the inspection items. The contractors they found were considerably less expensive quotes we had been given. The Savage Team went well beyond what I have come to inspect from a realtor and I cant recommend them more highly.

ZillowVERIFIED Tara was one of a few real estate agents we interviewed and then selected for her approach to the property, demeanor, and local knowledge. She was clear with us throughout the process, discussing our sales and negotiation approaches and ensuring an understanding of what we were willing to negotiate on. She was quite helpful with organizing the variety of repairs and clean out we needed to deal with on the property with both me and my sister in other states. I'd be glad to work with her again in the future.

ZillowVERIFIED I would highly recommend Judy Savage as your realtor. This was my first time selling a home. Judy and her team made the process as easy as I could have thought possible. We had to relocate right after the home went on the market and Judy was there to coordinate repair and maintenance activities when we could not be there. Since there was a delay in getting a right client, Judy helped us to find a tenant for 18 months and got our house again in market on right time. The home went under contract within a short amount of time and closed without any problems. I really appreciate her sincere efforts. It is very comfortable and easy to work with Judy, who is well experienced and can guide you well throughout these process.

Review for Member: Tara Savage
ZillowVERIFIED The Savage Team were fantastic! When I explained to them what I was looking for in a house Tara had the perfect home for me the next day. I have now bought two homes through them and when I was feeling overwhelmed with the selling and buying process Tara was there to help. In the end I got more than I expected for the home I sold as well as a spectacular deal on the home I purchased. I know this may sound too good to be true but it's the honest truth and I will recommend The Savage Team and Tara in particular to everyone that I know.

ZillowVERIFIED My primary experience was with Tara. I have never met a more responsive, hard-working, honest realtor. I truly felt that she always had my best interest in mind, and went out of her way to find me the perfect property based on my needs/wishes.

ZillowVERIFIED Tara was an excellent realtor to work with. She is very knowledgeable about the homes in the Charlottesville area available to purchase. She also worked at my pace and never made me feel pressured. She was attentive to my needs in a home and made great efforts to find the perfect one for me.

ZillowVERIFIED I cannot recommend Judy Savage (and the Savage Team) enough. Judy was there for us during the whole process. Judy was patient and helped us work through everything. Then came the candid discussion of what absolutely needed to be done to make our house more marketable. We took her biggest recommendation and it went a long way to selling our home during the spring market. Judys, and her daughter Taras, help in picking out the granite for the kitchen was invaluable. Also, her help in negotiations helped us get fair price for our house and on the purchase of our new home. Then when we went to buy a house, she was there also. Her candid appraisal of the new house we were interested in helped us honestly access its value. Ill never forget her first words when walking out the front door of the proposed home and saying, aEURoeWellaEUR| its a projectaEUR?. She helped us determine how much of a project by getting a contractor to come by and help us determine what it would cost to aEURoefix it upaEUR?. Her keen eye to resale helped us make some decisions on what fixes would help the house resell if we wanted to. This purchase required more time than most, I think, but Judy was right there to help us out. She was even a big help in helping us with the rental we needed to lease during the transition between houses! Judy is a consummate professional.

ZillowVERIFIED Judy Savage was an absolute godsend to work with throughout our search for a new home. She managed quite remarkably to take in all of our opinions (often contradictory) and help us think logically about what we really wanted and needed in a new house. Her patience with us was immeasurable as we took in new information, weighed options and changed our minds along the way. Better still, Judy knows the real estate market and the "ins and outs" of the process like the back of her hand and had a gentle and clear way of explaining it all to us. She was the voice of reason and reassurance in an experience that would have otherwise been incredibly confusing and stressful. I can't imagine going through this process without Judy Savage!

Review for Member: Tara Savage
ZillowVERIFIED As member of the military and my family and I have had to move a number of times (12 in 22 years), and often have to view/review homes from a distance; Tara's expertise and flexibility accommodated our needs to a tee. She communicated consistently and didn't waste our time with just data, but instead brought us a level of understanding with regard to local conditions and local developments which might impact our decision making process. She was the agent we needed at the time we needed here - the result was a beautiful house which matched 90%+ of our criteria and at a price which was reasonable. I would recommend her to any of my friends coming into the area and would engage her services again if it ever became necessary.

ZillowVERIFIED They did a great job finding me a new home as well as selling my old home.As soon as new properties came on the market they notified me.They gave me helpful hints on selling my home. They were instrumental in finding temporary housing between the sell of the old house & the purchase of my new home. They answered my many questions promptly & always kept me informed of changing events. It was very helpful the fact they supply a moving truck,one less thing to deal with & worry about.I would strongly recommend them to anyone looking to sell or buy a home.

ZillowVERIFIED A wonderful, unprecented real estate experience. Judy brought us a full price contract the first day of our listing. She took care of the scheduling of the repairs of the inspector 's findings and we closed effortlessly on our contract's closing date. Could not of asked for a better experience.

ZillowVERIFIED Judy and Tara are the real deal. Upfront, knowledegable, dependable. They managed our rental for 4 years, responding to any concerns we had immediately. We trust them so much we used them to broker the purchase of the house. Highly recommended.

ZillowVERIFIED The experience with Savage realty was extremely positive. They are very knowledgeable of the market, current pricing and always available to answer questions. They will meet with clients or potential buyers whenever and wherever possible. Helped us find land to purchase and build a new home on while our current home was being listed and sold. We would absolutely use them again if we needed to buy or sell.

Review for Member: Tara Savage
ZillowVERIFIED Due to my careers, we have moved around and sold several houses. We have never had a Realtor that worked as hard for us to make the process work. Our house was a rental for several years so it wasn't up to the standards of most in the neighborhood and this made negotiating particularly difficult. If it wasn't for her our house would probably still be on the market. Throughout the process we trusted her advice and strongly recommend her.

ZillowVERIFIED Judy Savage has been our Real Estate agent for every house we've bought since our first house in 1994. She has a very detailed knowledge of the local market and local neighborhoods. Judy has always been professional and prompt in her dealings with us and others. She has always gone the extra mile and we've appreciated that!

ZillowVERIFIED Could not have been happier with my decision to use Judy Savage and her "Savage Team" to sell my home. She had the house under contract within 5 months of listing and she brought the buyer in and saved me some commish. The price I got for the home was very reasonable considering the market in Charlottesville (in my price point). Mine sold where others have not! Thanks Judy!

ZillowVERIFIED Mrs. Savage was very helpful and easy to work with. As first-time homebuyers, we appreciate that she clarified everything we needed to know, guided us through the paperwork with minimal hassle, and gave excellent advice for our unusual circumstances. I would definitely recommend her to anyone buying a home.
