REAL ESTATE FOR LIFE TRANSITIONS AND EMPOWERED NEW BEGINNINGS

Tara Tatum is a second generation Realtor with over twenty-five years’ experience in real estate in Charleston, SC. Tara’s commitment to helping people love where they live is a result of growing up with parents who owned a South Carolina real estate company, The Tatum Company, specializing in residential sales and new construction. She holds numerous professional certifications and designations which keeps her current in a dynamic and ever-changing industry.

Over the years, Tara’s business has evolved from Rookie of the Year to Realtor of Distinction. She graduated from the CTAR (Charleston Trident Association of Realtors) Leadership Institute in 2017 and served as Co-Chair and Chair for Code Pros of the Association. She also completed special mediation training through the National Association of Realtors in Chicago.

Tara is one of only two Realtors in the greater Charleston area to hold a certification as a Divorce Real Estate Expert. She graduated from the Divorce Real Estate Institute (now Ilumni Institute) training program in California taught by family law attorneys, mediators, judges, divorce real estate experts and divorce lending experts. As a Master CDRE®, she is recognized as a leader in conflict resolution and negotiation with extensive knowledge, skill and neutrality in handling sensitive and complex real estate transactions in divorce. Tara also enjoys teaching and mentoring men and women navigating the personal aspects of rebuilding after divorce.

A member of the Charleston Horticultural Society, Tara enjoys digging in the dirt and landscape design as a creative outlet.  She loves learning, travel, antiquing, long walks downtown or on the beach, cooking and fine wine. She completed her WSET (Wine and Spirits Education Training) and is studying French wine, her favorite region. She lives in Charleston with her mini labradoodle, Paisley, in a mid-century ranch home she completely renovated in 2018. That solo, empowering experience inspired her to focus her work on real estate for life transitions and empowered new beginnings.
