Tara McGuire

We had an excellent experience working with Tara McGuire and her team to sell our home in Circle C Ranch. And a huge shout out to her partner, Lauren Salazar!! The two of them together are exceptional. Tara’s knowledge of the Circle C Ranch real estate market and her strategy made a significant difference in our results.

We originally planned to list our home several months later, but Tara recognized an opportunity to take advantage of the stronger spring market and developed a pre-market strategy that ultimately resulted in us selling for 5% more than the price we had planned to enter the MLS at. She also negotiated a favorable leaseback that gave us the flexibility we needed after closing.

We were a little worried that the home may not appraise for the sales price, but Tara proactively provided favorable sale comps to the appraiser and everything went off without a hitch!

Tara and her team handled so much for us throughout the process. They coordinated the make-ready work, recommended excellent local vendors, and even met contractors at our home when we couldn’t be there. We were out of town for several months during the sale, and knowing Tara lives right here in Circle C Ranch was incredibly valuable. She and her team kept an eye on the house, helped get our Ring doorbell back online when it stopped working, and took care of anything that came up in our absence.

Tara was also very strategic about preparing the home for sale. She recommended a pre-listing inspection, which helped eliminate repair negotiations during the buyer’s option period and made the transaction much smoother. When an issue came up involving replacement of the outdoor kitchen grill, she did extensive research that helped us negotiate a favorable outcome.

Tara truly knows Circle C Ranch and the Southwest Austin real estate market. Her combination of neighborhood expertise, pricing and pre-market strategy, negotiation skills, vendor relationships, and hands-on service made a huge difference for us. We always felt like our home was being taken care of, even when we were hundreds of miles away.

We highly recommend Tara McGuire and her team to anyone looking for a Realtor to sell a home in Circle C Ranch or Southwest Austin. They go above and beyond!!

Tara McGuire was my realtor for the home I just purchased in South Austin. She is knowledgeable about the area, very client focused and did a great job for me. She is continuing to assist me to sell my current home also. She worked with the seller's agent to negotiate the price after the inspection listed some areas of concern. I was very pleased with her work and her team.

I can't say enough about Tara McGuire and her team. I reached out almost 9 months before I thought I'd be ready to sell, and she met me right where I was — no pressure, just genuinely helpful guidance on what to do to the house to maximize value. She helped me get estimates, coordinate vendors, and manage everything from the home inspection to paint, carpet, new light fixtures, and handyman work. It felt like having a trusted advisor in my corner the whole time.

Her pre-market process gave me real confidence in our pricing strategy, and it paid off — we received multiple offers and sold our Circle C Ranch home in just 5 days for over list price. Selling a home is emotional and stressful, but Tara made it so much smoother than I expected. If you're even thinking about selling, call her now. Highest possible recommendation for Tara + The McGuire Team!

We were first-time home buyers relocating from Dallas and had such a great experience working with Tara. She helped us explore several neighborhoods in the Round Rock area and we ended up finding the perfect home on our very first day out.

The home was in excellent condition, but Tara still helped us negotiate over 7% off the original list price and secure a credit toward closing costs, which made a big difference for us.

She also connected us with great local resources and contractors, which was incredibly helpful as we got settled. The entire process felt smooth and well-guided, and we always felt like she had our best interests in mind. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone buying in the Austin area.
