Testimonials

Viktoria Root

There are truly not enough words to express how deeply grateful we are for Tarah and the experience we had working with her.
From the very beginning, over a year before we were even ready to buy, she showed us a level of patience, dedication, and genuine care that is incredibly rare. In the midst of a volatile and often overwhelming market, she never once made us feel pressured. Instead, she invested her time in preparing us, educating us, and making sure that when the right moment came, we would be confident and ready. That kind of commitment speaks volumes about who she is.

Tarah’s expertise is simply unmatched. Her background as a trained architect, combined with her extensive experience as a realtor, gave us an entirely different level of understanding throughout the process. She doesn’t just help you find a home, she helps you truly evaluate it, from structural integrity to long-term potential, with a depth of knowledge that most agents simply don’t have. Add to that her ability to communicate seamlessly across multiple languages, and it’s clear that she brings an extraordinary level of skill, insight, and accessibility to everything she does.

When we were finally ready to move forward, Tarah was nothing short of exceptional!!
She was ALWAYS one step ahead, highly responsive, incredibly organized, and completely in control of every detail. She didn’t just guide us, she advocated for us relentlessly. Whether it was coordinating with the seller’s agent, ensuring the lender stayed on track, or keeping the title company aligned, she made sure everything moved forward smoothly and efficiently. What could have been a stressful, complicated process felt steady and manageable because she was leading the way.

But what truly sets Tarah apart, what makes her unforgettable, is the way she cares. She doesn’t treat you like a transaction, she treats you like family. She shows up with heart, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to doing what’s best for her clients. You can feel how invested she is in your success and happiness, and that trust she builds is something you carry with you long after the process is over.

Without hesitation, we can say that Tarah is not just a great agent, she is the agent. The one you hope to find, the one you wish everyone could work with, and the one we will recommend every single time without question. If you have the opportunity to work with her, take it, you simply won’t find anyone better!

Thank you Tarah, from the bottom of our hearts for helping find a home for our family!!
We couldn’t be more grateful!

Lin Yue

Tarah is the best real estate agent we’ve ever worked with. We first met her years ago at an open house. Although we didn’t end up purchasing that property, we stayed in touch and maintained a great relationship over the years.

This year, when we decided to sell our home, Tarah did an outstanding job handling every step of the process. She is professional, responsive, reliable, and truly cares about her clients. She sold our property within a week, and both parties were very happy with the outcome.

We look forward to working with her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

It was a privilege to have Tarah Pahlavan as our real estate agent in the recent purchase of our home. She is kind, personable, very knowledgeable, and she is an intuitive individual in meeting the real estate needs of prospective buyers. Her professionalism and more notably her personal investment to know her clients are heartfelt. Tarah is very thorough in her research and connected with many services and support individuals to fulfill the many requirements that are requested by the buyer and seller. Her arbitration skills to facilitate potential difficulties are admirable. She guides the seller and the buyer with all the complexities of escrow. We completed the entire process of buying our home in 14 days. It was an astonishing process with her calm assurance that we would be on schedule. Without any. reservations, we wholeheartedly recommend Tarah as our future real estate agent to all our friends and family.

Michelle Rosenberg

Tarah helped my mother sell her condo in Sacramento. I have so many positive things to say. The three top things that I think make Tarah stand out in her field are :
1. She really knows and understands the market, she took the time to educate us, and priced the condo to sell and explained why. She was very honest and didnt promise or give us unreasonable expectations.
2. She went above and beyond. My mother had just moved out of the city and we also didn't live locally, and Tarah took care of everything. She met all the workers, arranged all appointments, etc. She was truly a full service realtor.
3. She is very driven, she pursued every lead, followed up with us and with potential buyers often. She negotiated on our behalf, and walked us through the whole escrow process.
WE couldn't have been more satisfied. AND the condo sold witin a month!!!!

Craig Norman

It was a wonderful experience working with Tarah on the purchase of our new home and the sale of our old home. Tarah gave us dedicated attention, was quick to respond to our questions and concerns, and made both the home buying experience and the home selling experience very painless and seamless. We bought a home through Tarah, and Tarah found a buyer for our old home within a two-week period of time. That could not have been possible without Tarah. I strongly recommend using Tarah as your real estate agent.

Tarah Pahlavan has been diligent, thorough and reliable as our real estate agent. She has been very flexible and generous with her time, as we were searching for a condo in the Sacramento area from out of town, and was great about following through in person with the listing agent and seller when we couldn’t be there. She is friendly and frank.

I would highly recommend Tarah for anyone looking to buy a home who appreciates thoroughness as well as candor.

I have my real estate license but needed to sell my rental property in Sacramento which is not where I live. I did some research of Sacramento area realtors and determined that Tarah would be the most qualified to handle the sale of the property. I wanted someone who knew the complexities of the job, understood the market, was people oriented and was driven to get the job done. Tara did not let me down! The entire process from beginning to end went very smoothly. In addition, I really appreciated Tara communicating with me every step of the way. I highly recommend her for all real estate needs.

I recommend anyone that is a first-time home buyer to go with her. She is very patient and understands what you go through in the process of buying. We became friends and thanks to her we found our house. Thank you Tarah!

Yannick Degeilh

My wife and I were 1st time home-buyers and Tarah did an excellent job of accompanying us through the entire process. She worked very diligently, showed us homes that could be of interest to us, gave us advice on their value and the market in general, helped us spot potential needs for repairs/upgrades. Tarah was also there at every step of the home-buying process, taking pains to explain details of the contracts, advising us on how to negotiate with the selling party and ceaselessly coordinating with all stakeholders. This allowed us to focus on the important decisions. She proved very professional and competent every step of the way; and also accommodated our busy schedules by working evenings and weekends as necessary. It was a real pleasure working with her. We would highly recommend Tarah as a realtor.

bill murphy

Tarah went the extra 800 miles to sell our home!! She was incredible in her efforts in the whole process from advising us on repairs/alterations needed, staging, constantly following up, reassuring and getting the word out and all this during a pandemic with the added compliance issues! She did a great job on the virtual tour of our house and was always there when we needed. We were so happy with her that we later used her to sell our condo as well. She does what it takes, especially during these uncertain times.

Amir Moghadasi

We are extremely pleased of working with Tarah Pahlavan from the Coldwell Banker Real Estate Team. Our first phone call with Tarah went very well. We were extremely excited about her knowledge and many years experiences in real estate industry. She really made us feel like family that we could count on her for finding our dream house and understanding the whole home-buying process. As first-time home buyers, we had plenty of questions and she patiently addressed all of them. She listened to our preferences to understand what we were looking for and how it must fit into our lifestyle. During the process, she always keep us informed about everything and answered our questions which we had at any time of the day. With her, the entire process was seamless. We feel exceedingly fortunate to have Tarah as our realtor and intend to rely on her as our “Realtor for Life”. We strongly recommend her, without any reservations, to anyone that is searching for a new home in Greater Sacramento area. We now consider Tarah as a new friend and we hope to keep our friendship for a long time. We must not forget to say that “WE LOVE OUR HOUSE”.

Wade Meyer

Tarah is an excellent and dedicated real estate agent. She took the time to get to know us and our preferences, and put together several extensive house tours grouped by neighborhood to help us narrow down exactly what we wanted. She was tireless in looking and figuring out what we wanted as we moved to a new city.

Tarah was a great communicator and led us through all the steps of purchasing our home. She was persistent in representing us in putting in offers. Through it all she was patient, friendly, and professional in her work.

We absolutely recommend Tarah Pahlavan to anyone looking to purchase a home. She went above and beyond our expectations in all areas of our housing search.

Sarah Geiger

We had a fantastic experience with Tarah Pahlavan as our real estate agent. As first time homebuyers, we had many questions and there were several home buying processes that we were not familiar with. While I know she had several clients at the time, I felt like we were her sole focus with how responsive and quick she was to reply to all of our questions or concerns. You can easily see how invested she is in and how much she loves her job. She has connections to a mortgage lender, inspector, title company, etc. Since we had never used these companies before, we appreciated the ease of working with those that she recommended. One quality about Tarah that we greatly appreciated, was her transparency. We felt that she always told us the whole truth, and from every angle. I think this quality is so important in a real estate agent, given the value of the investment. As evidenced through her great attention to detail, she always had our best interest in mind, during every stage of the process. In the end, we ended up with a home that we absolutely love, and we highly recommend Tarah for any of your real estate needs!

Ivan Sim

I cannot agree more with all the compliments and positive remarks from all the other reviewers who have had the pleasure of working with Tarah. She is beyond amazing! She worked closely with me, and helped me to get my first home in the super competitive real estate market of California. She is super knowledgeable in every aspect of real estate transaction/process, she will be your biggest and strongest advocator throughout the process, and she gives you the fact, minus the sugar-coating. These are just some of the many reasons why I love working with her, and if I keep going with all the awesomeness of Tarah I could probably write a 10-page essay about it... So, in short, and to spare you from reading a wordy review, if you're looking for a realtor who has your best interest in mind, Tarah is THE one!

Steven Hochhauser

Tarah was great. Very knowledgeable, put up with my BS, gave e good advice and found me a great condo - just what I wanted where I wanted it.

Fong

Tarah is the BEST! You will not find a harder and more dedicated Realtor who's main goal is to sell your house and work diligently with you as the seller. We were in a very tough real estate environment with rapidly rising interest rates and Buyers pulling back. Not only did Tarah sell out house in this type of environment, but she managed to have it all done (with closing) in one month! To further illustrate the dedication of this Realtor, the Buyer was not even an open house visitor. Tarah actively pursed this Buyer from just a casual conversation! As a Seller, you can have the fullest confidence that Tarah has the selling of your house at the forefront of her mind.
Tarah managed to navigate a smooth and quick transition for both the Seller and the Buyer in a very quick manner. No hiccups, as everything was on point with Tarah. From listing, to photos + drone shoots, paperwork, staging of your house and all the way to final closing docs.
If you need a Realtor to sell or house, or even to help you find you a house to buy, you definitely cannot go wrong with Tarah. And as a final note, she is very responsive to you calls, texts or e-mails as well. She's not going to leave you hanging. My fullest recommendation for Tarah as your next Realtor!

Mike Nager

Tara was a colleague of mine and brought a great deal of positive energy, enthusiasm, and positive energy to the organization. She contributed to the larger goals of the company by helping my team with sales and marketing activities even though we were in different departments. She has a great intelligence, fluent in several languages, and would be a great contribution to any organization looking for a fully 'engaged' employee. I would be happy to expand upon this recommendation if further information is required.

Babak P.

A truly savvy and professional Realtor that I recommend to anyone listing or purchasing a property.

Ghasem M.

I bought a property in Sacramento using Tarah as my Real Estate Consultant. Tarah exceeded my expectations as she was not only savvy in her job as a Realtor, she knows a lot about property and construction. From knowledge required to help investors flip, or buy and hold to ideas about fixing properties she knows it all. Tarah has a great network of craftsmen in different trades that have helped me with their services. I wholeheartedly recommend Tarah for anyone planning to list, purchase, or invest in a property and am using her myself again for other real estate transactions.

Scott B.

My wife and I highly recommend Tarah, she was fabulous and helped us find a home we love.

Tarah has been the agent I used to sell 3 properties and also to buy one property in the last 4 years. She is very professional yet personable. Tarah is very responsive; she makes her client feel like they are her priority. She is patient and not pushy for you to find a property as some agents are. She will represent her client faithfully and firmly but is skilled in negotiations. I would highly recommend Tarah Pahlavan as a realtor.

Sep D.

We had such a great experience working with Tarah. She helped us sell our home in Solano County and buy our new home in the East Bay, and we truly couldn't have asked for a better person to guide us through both processes. Buying and selling at the same time can be stressful, but Tarah made everything feel manageable and smooth. She was always responsive, patient with all of our questions, and very thoughtful in her advice. We always felt like she genuinely cared about helping us make the right decisions, not just closing a deal.

Tarah also pays close attention to details and communicates very well with everyone involved in the process. She is great at following up with the other side, making sure nothing is missing in the disclosures, and clarifying any questions with both sellers and buyers. That level of care and organization made a big difference for us.

We're really grateful for her support and guidance through such a big transition for our family, and we would absolutely recommend Tarah to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
