ZillowVERIFIEDTara is great to work with. She made the home buying process as easy as possible and she worked seamlessly with our lender and title company to get to close ahead of the norm.

ZillowVERIFIED I found Tara through a referral from Clever Real Estate. After interviewing several agents, I decided to have Tara list our house. Her extensive marketing knowledge and ideas to generate showings were very impressive. She took the time to ask questions about our home, neighborhood and community so she could write a listing description that succinctly highlighted our property. She was always accessible for questions and helped us throughout the sale process. If I'm ever in need of a realtor again, I wont hesitate to utilize Taras expertise!

ZillowVERIFIED Having served twenty years in the military, I've had to move and buy/sell several homes. I can tell you, hands down, Tara is the best agent I have ever worked with. She's friendly, extremely easy to work with, very knowledgeable about the market/real estate, and is an excellent communicator! We bought and sold a home with her and she always went to bat for us dealing with the other agent and got us the best price. What really stood out about her though was how she went above and beyond to help my family each time. For example, when we were selling our home, she took the time to help us research and then go look at a rentals in the area when we were having trouble finding one.

ZillowVERIFIED We found Tara through Clever Real Estate, a discount brokerage. Tara worked through Calomeris Realty, her agency in Frederick, MD. Her reviews were all impressive as was her on-line interview with us, which she was well prepared for. Tara is highly energized, thorough in all she does, always patient and positive, taking the time to explain the complexities of selling your home, always keeping us well informed each step of the way. Tara goes the extra mile, without being asked. She directed us to Lakeside Title who was close by in our community. They were very professional, timely and friendly. We had moved several days prior to our settlement, so we were especially appreciative of our digital closing, which went off seamlessly. We were well pleased with Tara's services and highly recommend her. Mary & Gaetan Carrier, Westminster, MD

ZillowVERIFIED Tara has helped my wife and me with two listings and two home purchases and has been nothing short of phenomenal. Shes been patient with all of our questions (even the silly ones), incredibly hard working at finding homes that matched our criteria and even more active during our home sales. She definitely increased the value of our homes and helped the sales go through smoothly and happily.

ZillowVERIFIED We are so grateful to Tara Shegogue. Earlier this year, she helped my girlfriend and me find the ideal house for us. We did not expect this to be an easy process. Our list of priorities alone made a house search seem daunting. We were looking for a home that checked a lot of boxes; the right mix of rural and suburban surroundings, reasonable proximity to family and work, size of house and yard that would be right for us. Factoring in the common knowledge that middle-class millennials were not meant to have nice things, we were expecting either a serious fixer-upper or ... a real nice shed. Tara listened to all our priorities, and worked very quickly to show us a property that checked basically all of our boxes. The location was ideal in terms of surroundings, commute, and proximity to neighbors. The house and its yard exceeded our expectations. And, somehow, this property fit into our price range without needing the list of repairs we had assumed we would be completing for years to come. In one showing, Tara had found us a house that provided everything we needed, and helped us put in an offer. In terms of finances, we were novices. Tara talked us through the homebuying process, and connected us with a lender who also understood our needs. She and this lender were able to offer us advice tailored to our situation; how much to offer, how to handle the thankfully-limited bidding war, how to make sure we weren't overstepping our budget. Tara also provided great recommendations for other services related to the property, including home inspection. Through this whole process, Tara treated our search not like a mere business transaction. She never pressured us to act one way or another. Over the few months we worked with her, my girlfriend and I felt that Tara listened to our needs, provided helpful and realistic advice, and skillfully led us directly to the perfect home for us. Truly, the only negative we can cite from this whole process is how embarrassingly long it took for me to write this here. Many thanks to Tara Shegogue for her vital assistance. We strongly recommend her as a real estate agent for anyone looking to find the property of their dreams! -- Robert, from Carroll County

ZillowVERIFIED Tara is *phenomenal* - I can't say enough good things about her. She guided us through a tough market and helped us find our dream home. During our search, she offered relevant recommendations and got us in to see places as quickly as possible. When it came to buying, she guided us expertly and advocated for us. Tara was extremely involved. My husband and I felt like she genuinely cared about us and helping us find our first home.

ZillowVERIFIED Tara is a FANTASTICALLY AMAZING real estate agent!!! Any anxiety, doubt, or skepticism I had as a first-time homebuyer melted away once Tara came alongside me and my wife as our real estate agent! Her infectious positivity, friendliness, patience, compassion, empathy, and drive throughout the process made for a surprisingly enjoyable experience! From the very beginning to the very end, Tara guided us through all the hurdles. She provided close, continuous guidance and support as we started our house search and made herself exclusively available to do walk-throughs of several potential homes with us, despite her very demanding schedule. Tara meticulously scheduled walk-through appointments for all the homes we were considering, including a second walk-through for one home that we were particularly interested in. Once we decided on a home that we loved and would work for us, Tara guided us through the offer-making process, sharing with us best practices, tips, and tools that would help maximize the attractiveness of our offer. Tara worked hard to develop and write up offers that incorporated and accommodated our specific needs. She managed our expectations by keeping us informed of the intricacies involved with the offer-making process with respect to VA loans, which was pivotal in keeping our heads up when our first two offers werent accepted. Taras positivity and empathy were pivotal for us as we navigated our way to our third offer. Tara encouraged us in many ways, including sharing with us her instinctive feeling that the next house and offer would aEURoebe the oneaEUR?. And it was! Taras intuition as a seasoned real estate agent was spot on ?? Once we had an accepted offer, Tara dug in and immediately went to work with the VA loan company and title company to ensure all the specific requirements that needed our attention were addressed and completed. She helped us navigate so many requirements (inspections, appraisals, documentation, etc.) and kept us on track every step of the way. Her hard work enabled us to close on the house 2 days earlier than expected! On closing day, Tara surprised us with some amazing and thoughtful housewarming gifts for each member of the family, helping to make our newly purchased house feel more like a home. Tara treated us like close familyaEUR"far better than most members of my actual family would! TARA IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING and should be YOUR TOP PICK, YOUR ONLY PICK, FOR A REAL ESTATE AGENT!!

ZillowVERIFIED Tara exhibited immense patience and persistence helping our multi-generational family group find a property, working within our very specific, demanding requirements. After one failed offer, she was encouraging and helped us move on the the next likely property a few months later, which we have now settled on. She was always available for questions, and interfaced well with our lender and the selling Realtor.

ZillowVERIFIED Tara made my first-time home buying experience so simple and easy. The entire process went seamlessly in a competitive, limited market. From the first phone call to closing on my house, everything was well organized and clearly communicated. Tara answered questions I didn't even think to ask! She even talked me through small changes I could make to each property I saw, to make it my own. She offered great options for necessary services, like home inspectors and settlement agents, including anecdotes from previous experiences with them. Tara worked with my lender and settlement agency directly so I did not have to worry about a thing! She helped me so much in starting my home ownership journey and I'd recommend her to anyone!

ZillowVERIFIED I interviewed several top-notch brokerages and realtors. I chose Tara because it was clear that she knew the local market well, was hard-working, knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and incredibly responsive. She also understood the uniqueness of my property and tailored a marketing plan with that in mind. I could not be more happy. She made the whole process simple and we closed in a matter of weeks. Oh! And we got 76k over asking!

ZillowVERIFIED I worked with Tara to sell my home. Tara had a lot of good insights when listing the house and taking the listing photos. Tara handled everything and we had several showings scheduled within hours of marking the house as coming soon. I would highly recommend Tara if you're looking to sell your house.

Review for Member: Tara Shegogue
ZillowVERIFIED Tara impressed from our initial introduction through the closing on our home, and beyond. Her knowledge of our specific market, and current market conditions was insightful and on mark! We listed our primary home in Maryland in February 2021 and received multiple offers on the first day of listing. As we prepared to show our home and list the property, Tara guided us with great recommendations and ideas for marketing and showing the house. She is highly knowledgeable, courteous, candid with the facts, and engaging. Buying and selling real estate always has its ups and downs (especially in winter weather and during Covid lock-downs), and Tara was with us during every step. She represented our best interests at all times, worked through scenarios and options with us when issues arose, always respected our decisions (and the purpose of our original decision to relocate), and was extremely pleasant to work with throughout. She is highly dependable and responsive during the entire process. She guided us through some unusual negotiations, and stayed engaged with the buyer's agents and lenders to keep us informed regularly. Selecting Tara to help us sell our home was the right decision! ...We highly recommend Tara to anyone considering a home purchase or sale.

ZillowVERIFIED My wife and I had a great experience working with Tara to find a rental house 2 years. ago. This year, when we decided to buy a house, we reached out to her because we were confident that she will be the best realtor to help us buy our first home. Tara is very knowledgeable, patient, dedicated, and cares a lot about the buyer experience. In our case, I felt that her main goal was for us to be comfortable and never rushed us to make a decision. We are very thankful to Tara for all the help she provided through this lengthy but pleasant experience.

ZillowVERIFIED Tara was absolutely amazing to work with! I'm a nervous first time homebuyer. I reached out and got paired with Tara, and I'm sure glad I did! I started the process early to get the ball rolling. She knew I was just starting to look and that I had plenty of time to find a house (before my apartment lease was up). She set up a search and we were off and running. Throughout the process, she was very upbeat and quick to respond to my emails, texts and phone calls. Some of the showings, she was probably more excited to see than I was. Thats a good thing though! It can get overwhelming trying to find the right home and she kept bringing her bubbly personality to the viewings. Once I settled on a house she helped walk me through the next steps. There wasnt a time during the buying process where I really stressed that much as Tara always had the answer and stayed patient with me. Ive heard horror stories about buying houses, but thanks to Tara, she took the time and effort to make sure everything went according to plan. I'm so happy I got teamed up with her to find a house that I absolutely love! I would highly recommend her to anyone that is looking to buy a home!

ZillowVERIFIED When it was time to sell and buy I contacted Tara right away. She was our wedding photographer a few years ago, and I already knew her to be professional, responsive, and trustworthy. She made a complicated process less stressful and took the time to explain each step along the way. I cannot recommend her enough. Thank for helping us find our dream home, Tara!

ZillowVERIFIED Tara is very friendly and accommodating with schedules for arranging tours and taking calls, texts, and emails, and she was super-helpful with keeping on top of everything throughout my recent first-time home-buying experience. I chose her because she'd helped me get into my previous rental, and I had found it to be a pleasure working with her. She was always available to answer my questions, quick to reach me with updates, and extremely devoted to attention. I would highly recommend her if you're looking for an agent for your next home!

ZillowVERIFIED Tara was the best realtor we've ever worked with. As clients living on the West Coast looking to buy a house in Virginia, our situation was a little unique. She did so much research on our behalf and made sure to only show us houses that fit our criteria (no wasted time with her!). She was quick to respond to questions, very knowledgeable, and very considerate of our priorities for home owning. Once we were under contract, she was a polite but aggressive negotiator on our behalf. She was detail-oriented and met all deadlines with plenty of time. We couldn't have asked for a better realtor; she made this stressful process so much more bearable!

ZillowVERIFIED Tara was great! Very attentive to our wants and needs, and was quick to respond when we had questions since we were first time homebuyers. She made the process enjoyable rather than stressful, and I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy their first home for their tenth!

ZillowVERIFIED When my fiancee and I started the process of looking to buy our first home we were both beyond overwhelmed and we didn't know where to start. Tara made this as easy as possible showing us houses quickly when ones came up in our price range and desired location. Once we found the one we loved, we quickly put in an offer and Tara helped us every step of the way. All of our questions were answered timely and we never felt uninformed or in the dark. The loan officers and settlement company that Tara suggested were great throughout the entire process as well. We would highly recommend Tara to anyone looking to buy or sell their house - no questions asked!
