About Tamara

Tamara and her husband, Lee, built and sold their first home in Georgia in the late 90’s. They invested in two other long-term rentals in Florida nearly twenty years later. They also had a short-term rental with AirBnB and experienced nearly 100% occupancy for over a year with an RV.  It was in these moments of creativity, out-of-the box thinking and positive client relationships, that Tamara and Lee were realizing opportunities.  Tamara decided to pivot into real estate full-time during the Pandemic in 2020 to continue helping and educating people, but in real estate. She obtained her Florida Real Estate License May 2021 and chose Keller Williams Realty Elite Partners in Spring Hill, Florida June 2021. Within two months, Tamara had her first listing for a 2/2/2. 

Tamara grew up in Northwest Georgia graduating from Rockmart High School.  She attended the University of West Georgia in Carrollton, Ga (BS Early Childhood Education ‘98)  She met her husband at UWG and they wed in 1990.  They are proud parents of two sons, Emmett and Alex. Tamara pursued a teaching career while the boys were younger.  Tamara and Lee found themselves moving to the Florida Panhandle in 2005 and later moving to the Adventure Coast in 2019 to be nearer to family.  

Tamara has served communities in Georgia and Florida as teacher, assistant principal, principal, curriculum specialist and adjunct professor at Northwest Florida State College. Tamara obtained her M.Ed. in Education Leadership from Florida State University in 2009.  Tamara enjoys helping and serving her communities, and has been recognized as volunteer of the year for Children’s Volunteer Health Network and for her leadership with the Boy Scouts of America.  She was nominated many times as teacher of the year.  Education has always been very important to Tamara and her family and it is no wonder that both sons are graduates of the University of Florida.
