Tara Torkkola saw us through the sale of our property in Byron Bay in one of the most difficult times, being the Coronavirus era. She managed to sell our house off-market using First National's database of interested buyers and was at all times incredibly approachable, friendly, understanding and responsive. We sold for the price we wanted and we couldn't be happier. Thank you Tara and First National!
Good support, easy to contact, managed to close during weekend.
Tara is extremely professional, knows and understands the local market and is honest and trustworthy in an industry that doesn’t have that reputation. She is also considerate of your needs, and is a good communicator.
Tara was on the ball, determined and a pleasure to deal with. Our own purchase was a fraught one, yet Tara kept her cool and put in the energy needed to get to the exchange done! A professional yet empathetic agent!
Tara was very professional and followed through with answering all the questions and inspections prospective buyers until we had a contract . I would recommend her to both buyers and sellers as she is committed and knows her stuff .
Market knowledge: keep selling Bryon Bay real estate as Bryon sells itself because of "name", not knowledgeable selling farm acreage not situated in Bryon Bay. Professionalism: tell them what they want to hear, keep them happy, even if an assumption, Tara made many assumptions on our behalf. Communication: Tara had great communication with the buyer, not the vendor, conveying her strategy to buyer, not us, coming back at us "faint accompli" buyer has agreed to a price which wasn't in range. Our solicitor held the deposit not agent, Tara saying that is not the way, rang our solicitor asking if we made a mistake, the gall, all about having first take at deposit money on settlement. Agent does not have to hold deposit. Tara threatened legal action after one day of not receiving monies, no contact with us tho, not even a call, email on settlement.
Tara, Denzil and their team made the sale of our property and breeze from start to finish. They took care of everything needed and we were able to sit back and relax while the house sold in 3 WEEKS inside the price range we had hoped for! I would highly recommend her and the team to anyone looking for an easy sales experience!
Tara was from day one extremely knowledgeable about real estate in our area , she has an amazing ability to sell well . Her team led by her were always available and accommodating, feedback was always spot on and accurate without the usual real estate jargon. Highly recommend for future transactions and sales .
I would recommend Tara and her team for any sales in the Northern rivers. Outstanding service, professional, Tara went over and above to get the job done. Thank you Tara
Tara was very professional and helpful in negotiating a transaction that both parties were happy with. Persistent but not pushy. Tara knows the Byron market well which I’m sure helps her get strong results.
Tara, Denzil and their team were amazing. Their knowledge of the local market, and the entire team’s commitment from listing to sale was amazing. Thanks Guys !
Tara is a hardworking agent and a pleasure to communicate with - she is professional while remaining unpretentious and pragmatic. As a buyer, I found her to be respectful to both parties and demonstrated a relentless positive attitude to getting the sale across the line. I wouldn't hesitate in purchasing with her again, and would be confident in her selling my property. Thanks Tara!
