Tara grew up on Long Island and built her early career in Manhattan — an environment where precision, negotiation, and performance weren't optional. When she relocated to Florida with her husband and two sons, she navigated the builder process herself. She evaluated communities, compared options, and made the same high-stakes decisions her clients face today. That experience didn't just give her knowledge — it gave her perspective.
She has spent years becoming a genuine specialist in Lakewood Ranch new construction and relocation — not a generalist covering a wide territory, but someone who goes deep on one market so her clients get real insight, not surface-level guidance. She works closely with builders, monitors construction milestones, and leverages established builder relationships to secure favorable terms and incentives.
Outside of real estate, she's an avid tennis player — and she'll tell you the same qualities that make a great tennis player make a great advocate: focus, consistency, and knowing exactly when to push.
“Having been on both sides of the table, I know exactly where the risks are — and how to protect you from them.”
— Tara Gerber
Most buyers are making the biggest financial decision of their lives — they deserve a real advocate, not someone going through the motions.
The builder's agent works for the builder. The listing agent works for the seller. Someone needs to be unambiguously on your side.
Good decisions come from clarity. Her job is to reduce confusion, surface the questions you haven't thought to ask, and help you move forward with confidence.
How She Works
The principles she brings to every client relationship.
Clarity before action
Tara never rushes a client into a decision. She takes the time to make sure you understand what you're deciding — and why it matters — before you move forward.
Honest over comfortable
Strategic, not reactive
Local depth over wide coverage
