 I'm Tamara,


Hudson Valley is where rolling hills meet quiet back roads, and every home holds a story.  I’ve spent over 13 years doing more than selling real estate—I’ve been helping people move through some of the most meaningful chapters of their lives.


I’m not the kind of agent who sees a home as square footage and data points. I see the memories held within its walls, the dreams wrapped up in the next move, and the human experience unfolding in between. 

Whether you’re opening the door to a new beginning or gently closing the door on a chapter that shaped you, my role is to walk beside you with clarity, honesty, and heart. 


My approach is simple: 

Listen deeply | Advocate fiercely | Care genuinely


You’ll always know where I stand, what comes next, and that I’m looking out for you every step of the way. 

Not because it’s my job—but because it’s who I am.

I believe real estate is, at its core, about people choosing a place to feel safe, inspired, rooted, and connected. And when you choose to work with me, you’re choosing more than a professional—you’re choosing a partner who sees your journey, honors your goals, and treats your story with the respect it deserves.


So, if you’re ready for your next chapter—whether it’s finding a home that hugs you the moment you walk in or if you will be passing yours on to someone who will love it just as much—I’m here.


With experience | With compassion | And commitment


To make this transition feel as meaningful and heart centered as it should.


Together, we’ll find the place where your story continues.


  • Client Reviews

    "If I could give Tammy more than 5 stars I would. She has an intimate knowledge of the upstate NY/Hudson Valley area which was incredibly helpful in trying to find our home. Combine that with her history of owning, renting, and managing real estate and we found a professional who was in the perfect position to direct our search. It was an added bonus that she’s super kind and positive as well as patient with our ever-changing requests. I definitely recommend Tammy if you have a real estate need."  - M. Brewer



    "My sisters and I have been searching for over a year for a place to relocate, but without success. When I informed Tamara of our dilemma, she immediately stepped in to assist. She started sending us daily emails to show us what was available in our area. She also educated us on the pros and cons of buying vs renting. Even when she was out of town dealing with death of a loved one, she still delivered by setting us up with her associate to show us a house we were interested in. Tamara has gone above and beyond for us! We cherish her knowledge, her sincerity, her empathy, and her committment to helping her clients. I grew up in a customer-oriented family business, and my Dad always taught us that your customer should hear your smile over the phone. Tammy ALWAYS smiles over the phone!! She is a professional and a sweet hearted person all in one! 10 stars for her outstanding service to our family!!!"  - Y. Johnson


    "I don’t often leave reviews, but Tamara is more than 5 star. I find it challenging to find people I trust ‘completely’ in the real estate business. Tamara has earned that trust. For her honesty (transparency), excellent communication, and experience navigating the real estate market, I recommend her without reservation." - D.Klopson.


    "Tamara makes home buying a joyful experience. Her transparency has a calming effect on the emotional journey of buying or selling a home and her insightful options provide reassurance and hope.

    Speaking from the experience of buying our home, Tamara makes you feel like family, and we have entrusted her with selling our previous home.

    Tamara comes highly recommended to anyone looking for an ultimate professional with the largest real estate franchise. She will listen to you, guide and support you until you achieve your goal. Thank You Tamara!" - B. Ojie



    "Tamara is helpful, attentive, and thoughtful. You’ll enjoy working with her!" - A. Kruegar


    "I worked with Tamara on a rental and only have great things to say. She was responsive, kind, friendly, and trustworthy. I know she will go above and beyond for all her clients. It was a pleasure working with her and I would definitely recommend working with her!" -D.Sitt

  • Buyers: Question & Answers

    How long has this home been on the market?

    Answer: I’ll pull the most up-to-date listing history for you. This will show how long the property has been available and whether there have been any price adjustments.


    Are there any known issues with the home?

    Answer: I’ll review the seller’s disclosure with you and point out anything noted. We’ll also schedule a home inspection, so you have a full picture of the home’s condition.


    How old are the major systems (roof, HVAC, septic, well, etc.)?

    Answer: I’ll look through the listing notes, disclosures, and public records. If anything is unclear, I’ll ask the listing agent to provide dates and service history.


    What’s included in the sale? 

    Answer: I’ll confirm what stays — appliances, fixtures, sheds, window treatments, and more. Anything negotiable, we can include in your offer.


    How are the schools in the area?

    Answer: I can share links to objective school-rating resources so you can review districts, programs, and performance based on what matters most to you.


    What’s a competitive offer in this market?

    Answer: I’ll run a comparative market analysis (CMA) to show what similar homes have sold for and use current market conditions to recommend a strong, realistic offer strategy.

    Answer: Closing costs typically range from 3%–5% of the purchase price. I’ll work with your lender to give you a more precise estimate based on your loan type.

    What happens if the appraisal comes in low?

    Answer: We can challenge the appraisal, renegotiate the price, or adjust terms. I’ll guide you step-by-step so you’re protected.


    How long does the whole buying process take?

    Answer: Typically 45–65 days from accepted offer to closing, depending on your loan type, inspections, and lender timelines.


    Do I need to be pre-approved before seeing homes?

    Answer:  Yes — a pre-approval shows sellers you’re serious and gives us a clear budget so we focus only on homes that truly fit your financial comfort zone.

    Answer: My compensation is always negotiable. I’ll go over the buyer agency agreement with you so everything is clear and transparent from start to end.
