My Story

With roots in the UK and life experiences spanning Dubai and New Zealand, Tara brings a warm, worldly presence to the front desk at Buxton Inner West. After a long career in IT banking, she made the decision to pursue her passion for property - a shift that led her to real estate five years ago. Since then, she has worked across both Property Management and Leasing, giving her a strong understanding of the rental process from every angle.

In her role as Receptionist and Rentals Administrator, Tara is often the first point of contact for our clients, a responsibility she approaches with calmness, empathy and genuine care. Known for her open, honest communication and ability to build instant rapport, she ensures everyone feels supported from the moment they connect with the office. Her background in fast-paced, detail-driven environments means she thrives in keeping everything running smoothly behind the scenes.

Tara loves the people aspect of her work most - the chance to help, problem-solve and make someone’s day a little easier. It’s this natural desire to assist that saw her recognised early in her real estate career, achieving 3rd place in Victoria in her first year working in the industry.

Away from the office, Tara enjoys discovering Melbourne’s endlessly growing dining scene, catching a show at the theatre or keeping active with reformer Pilates and gym sessions. A beach lover in any season, she’s happiest by the water. Tara has also spent time volunteering in New Zealand as a rural firefighter and cooking for families at Ronald McDonald House - experiences that reflect her inherently community-minded nature.

Tara now lives in Southbank with her partner Gary, who also works in real estate. She has three wonderful adult children, with two living in the UK and one based here in Melbourne.

Warm, genuine and always ready to help, Tara brings an uplifting energy to the office and a steady hand to the rental team.
