Tamra Provines

Tamra was always extremely responsive in setting up showings and helping us find what we were looking for in a home. As first-time homebuyers, she walked us through the process every step of the way and answered all our questions. She was patient as we took time to find a house that was the right fit for us while providing numerous options in and around the area we were wanting to locate in. Once we found the home, her guidance led us to securing the winning bid for our house and the best outcome possible. Throughout the closing process and even after Tamra has looked out for us and made sure we have everything taken care of. She also had great recommendations of companies for all of our house and loan needs.

One of the best real estate decisions I’ve ever made was hiring Tamra Provines, OWN Real Estate, to list my property in Wichita. I interviewed several realtors/brokers and researched dozens more. To say I’m picky would be a bit of an understatement. However, once you hire a realtor, you are entrusting them hundreds of thousands of dollars in property if not more. To not be picky about your realtor is to be truly foolish.

Tamra Provines owns and operates her own independent brokerage, Own Real Estate, and is therefore not representing some bloated real estate corporation who has their hand in everybody’s pocket, particularly the buyers and sellers. She has developed a wonderful website and uses all the tools of the real estate trade including social media and the tried and true “old school” methods. Different buyers are attracted by different stimuli based upon age and technical savvy. She uses them all to bring as many buyers to the table as possible. It’s exactly what a realtor should do and what a seller needs. I also truly appreciate her listing agreement is not 30 pages long, but more like 4 pages. It is clear, comprehensive, and fair to both parties. How often do you encounter that type of unabashed honestly and forthrightness in today’s business world. It is like a breath of fresh air.

Tamra Provines has additional character attributes that make her an asset as your realtor. She’s honest. She will tell you if something needs to be fixed, changed, or not worth the money to modify. She’s highly intelligent. She knows the market, she knows the neighborhoods, she does the research, and she definitely knows what buyers and sellers want. Her intellectual acumen will serve you well when negotiating and making decisions about listing or buying a home. When going into negotiations she comes armed with all the facts, employs reason, and can make a very decidedly persuasive case for her client.

She’s charming. A definite asset when dealing with the buyers, sellers, lenders, appraisers, and other realtors. Never confuse smooth talk with charm or intelligence. The person who parlays charm and intelligence in a business deal constantly hits the mark, while the other fumbles and blusters. Most realtors can dish out the smooth talk like a well-seasoned used car salesman. That’s not what you want when selling or investing in property worth so much money. Choose a realtor with integrity, brains, and charm who is truly committed to representing you as the buyer or seller. You couldn’t ask to have a better person than Tamra Provines on your side. I highly recommend Tamra Provines as your next realtor.

Tamra did an outstanding job helping us sell our home on time in a challenging environment. We had made an offer on a home in Maine and needed to sell our home in Clearwater, KS to finalize the transaction in Maine. Tamra did an excellent job of getting our home listed in a timely manner with outstanding photographs and a property description that was very enticing. She garnered a tremendous amount of interest in our property despite stubbornly high interest rates. Once we received offers, she guided us through the process of working with the strongest potential buyer. Finally, days before closing, she helped us navigate a legal matter with the title company so we could close on time. Thanks to Tamra, we are now living our dream in Maine! If you want an experienced agent who will go to bat for you, look no further than Tamra. She is worth every penny of her commission.

Tamra was so incredibly helpful working with us through buying our first home. We knew if we had any questions she could help answer them, and she was always very quick to respond to everything. We didn't stress during the process AT ALL because of how confident she made us feel in having backup throughout! Definitely recommend and will work with her again!

Tamra was so wonderful and helpful during our home buying process! As first time home buyers, she helped guide us through a lot of things and was always there for us when we had questions or needed help.

Tamra has a tremendous amount of knowledge about the market and houses in general. She also offers great advice. Furthermore, she’s friendly, communicative, always on top of things, and honest.

We greatly appreciated how quickly she did things and how often she communicated with us. Tamra always had our best interest in mind!

We ran into some issues with the seller and Tamra was quick to advocate and negotiate on our behalf. Our home buying process was a little stressful because of a difficult seller, but Tamra handled things really well and we got everything we asked for in the end.

Thanks so much Tamra! We’ll definitely reach out if we’re looking to buy or sell in the future!
