There are a lot of moving parts that must be flawlessly coordinated during the home loan process, and you need someone with skill that is going to be there to guide you honestly and accurately, from start of application to signing at closing. With over 22 years of experience in the mortgage industry, I have had the privilege of helping countless families and individuals turn their dream of homeownership into reality. My extensive journey as a mortgage loan officer paired with my attention to detail and thoroughness, has always provided clients a seamless path for oftentimes, one of the biggest decisions of their lives. I appreciate that each clients’ home scenario is unique, and whether they are purchasing a home for the first time, buying a beach or lake vacation house, or wanting to do a refinance to achieve their financial goals- I will always be committed to making their experience as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Having over 175 perfect five-star client reviews online, showcases my dedication to provide amazing service with clear communication, transparency, and integrity. Combining that with my in-depth knowledge of the mortgage market and genuine commitment to my clients, has allowed me to form lasting relationships with both homebuyers and realtor partners that were taken care of throughout their transaction every step along the way. One of the greatest compliments I receive is the trust my clients place in me, as evidenced by the numerous referrals and repeat business from those who have experienced my diligence firsthand. It is incredibly rewarding to consistently have clients return, as well as be entrusted with helping their friends and family achieve their homeownership dreams as well.

Outside of work, I am an active member of the community, having founded, the Lake Norman Business Network for Women (LKNBNW) in August of 2019. I started this group with the goal of giving women in the Lake Norman and Charlotte, NC areas, an opportunity to connect with, meet, and collaborate professionally and personally. Whether for finding additional trusted local experts in different industry fields, or for additional camaraderie and kinships- LKNBNW has grown to a private group with over 1,100 members that consistently meet every month. Having established this large social network of local connections, has allowed me to become a go-to contact and provide insight above mortgage-only needs to the many new out of state homebuyers coming to the region. In addition to the love of connecting people, I am proud to support workshops, events and seminars that promote homeownership for all families and all communities, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to achieve their dream of owning a home.

When I am not sharing my mortgage expertise, for relaxation and recreation, I love completing home enhancement projects and traveling with my husband, as well as spoiling our doggie-daughter- as the only way that four-legged family members should be.

I came into the home buying process so unfamiliar with the process. I was very naive when it came to the terminology and technical part of buying a home. Tara was able to speed run not only the financial process involved with home buying, but also educated me to feel comfortable with discussing certain topics and making decisions. If it wasn’t for Tara, I would still be going back and forth in my head trying to figure out a plan. She was super intentional and caring throughout the process - at times it seemed like she cared more about doing things correctly than I did! Highly recommend, she is the best.

Tara was so easy to work with and helped me through every stage of the process. She was truly committed to doing anything she could to help me get a loan that met my needs. I always felt I could ask anything and I would get a thoughtful, detailed response. Her expertise and kindness helped me through my unexpected quick turnaround closing and I'm very thankful she was my mortgage loan officer.
