arah Walker is a licensed broker, top-producing Realtor® and partner in one of the fastestgrowing privately owned firms in the U.S., Nationwide Real Estate Executives (NRE). A wife, mother and powerhouse female entrepreneur, Tarah is recognized as a masterful negotiator who gets the job done. She is a leader among Southern California’s real estate elite with an uncompromising commitment to focusing on her clients’ needs and delivering phenomenal results.

“Having worked with hundreds of clients over the years, I realize that people are often very apprehensive about the process of buying and selling real estate,” Tarah says. “It can be overwhelming, especially with all of the information available online, it’s difficult to know exactly where to start. The best advice I can give to anyone in that situation is to consult with a caring, experienced and driven professional who will take the time to understand your unique needs and create a strategic plan. Hiring the right agent will give you peace of mind and clarity.”

NRE has a forward-thinking culture with a focus

on embracing the latest technology, tools and systems that optimize the client experience.

Helping Others Chart a Path to Their Future In a recent LinkedIn recommendation, one of Tarah’s current clients wrote, “Tarah is a beautiful soul. She truly loves what she does, and it shows in her work. She has an amazing work ethic and will take on any obstacle for her clients. Tarah is very knowledgeable in the real estate industry, and she will do everything in her power to get the job done. I have learned so much from her in the little time that I have known her. I will never pass up an opportunity to work with Tarah.” According to Tarah, “The mission of NRE is to be the vehicle of opportunity, for our clients and agents alike. Real estate has had a huge impact on my life and the life of my family. It’s a privilege and joy to share that opportunity with others.”

Tarah is a living example of what it takes to achieve the

American Dream. “Growing up, my family experienced multiple evictions, lived in motels and camped out in the living rooms of friends and relatives.” At the age of 8, Tarah found a permanent home with her grandmother, an immigrant from the Pacific island of Palau, who owned a small two-bedroom bungalow home in West Long Beach.

Tarah describes her grandmother as an “incredibly strong and loving woman” who taught her the “importance of having self discipline, pursuing education, maintaining integrity and faith. The moment I had a permanent place to call home, I excelled academically which gave my grandmother a lot of pride and made me feel like I was capable of accomplishing anything. Humble beginnings can be a huge blessing — teaching compassion and fueling drive that carries on for a lifetime.”

Tarah put herself through university working for one of the largest law firms in California. She and her husband opened a gym, and once it was running successfully, Tarah turned her ambition to real estate. In less than a decade, she wielded her grit, creativity and unrelenting work ethic — along with the support of her mentor, NRE Founder and CEO, Daryl Owen — to become one of the top 4% of agents in the country. Fueled by the love of their two daughters, Tarah and her husband continue to operate multiple businesses together, including a financial services business under the direction of “Top 50 Wealthiest Under 50” entrepreneur, Ed Mylett.

Tarah is known for going the extra mile for her clients and delivering value well beyond the close of escrow. Her clients continue to rely on her for market insights, mortgage guidance, insurance claims, home repairs and other

major financial considerations. “There is no limit to what I will do to help people achieve their goal in real estate.

Hustle and heart will set you apart. I have a deep level of care for my clients. That genuine level of care can be observed through actions and through communication. It fosters trust. I study the markets daily and offer unique insights as a practitioner. I am driven daily to be a master in my field, in order to provide true, expert guidance.”

She continues, “I’ve never been about the bravado that’s typical of this industry. It doesn’t matter how many homes you’ve sold; it matters how much you care about the people in the homes. My goal has always been to serve selflessly with passion, honesty and diligence, with the full confidence that the results I deliver will speak for themselves.”
