Originally hailing from East Tennessee, Tara traded the cold mountain winters for the warm, tranquil embrace of ocean waves. Captivated by the pristine sandy shores and abundant sunshine of the Gulf Coast, she and her husband, Mike, decided to make Southwest Florida their home & instantly fell in love with the laid-back coastal lifestyle.

Tara is a highly accomplished real estate professional bringing a wealth of expertise in leadership, client services, operations, and sales into her role as Director of Sales for The Patterson Group. She thrives on cultivating meaningful relationships, constantly pursuing growth & excellence, & providing exceptional experiences for everyone she serves.

Beyond professional pursuits, Tara is an avid explorer and adventurer with a zest for life. She loves spending quality time with her husband & their fur-babies, traveling, boating, hiking, biking, kayaking, and swimming. She takes advantage of every available opportunity to simply bury her toes in the sand, close her eyes, and immerse herself in the soothing sounds of the ocean.

Tara is grateful to be living her dream and loves serving the team by providing them all the tools & resources needed to continue offering extraordinary service to our clients.
