Tara Helgestad

Broker/Owner

Through the years, I've had the privilege of working with individuals who are looking for their dream home, relocating for school/work, second homes, downsizing, lifestyle changes, and investors who are looking to build their portfolios.

All of these situations require thought, communication, quick action, creativity, and information for individuals to make the best decision for their needs in a timely manner.

All clients are unique, but in every situation real estate purchases are an investment in a clients future for themselves or for their families. I take that responsibility seriously and strive to be the best ally possible.

When it comes time to sell a home or investment property, I work hard to market and optimize exposure. Professional pictures, social media, and mass emails are just a few of the things that are used to sell my clients homes quickly and for top dollar. Just as purchases are unique to each individual, so are listings and I adapt and modify strategies based on each client's needs and desires.

You are only as good as the people that you surround yourself with and I make it a point to make connections and foster relationships with professionals and to find resources to assist my clients with situations we may encounter along the way.

This is how I practice Real Estate, run my brokerage, and these are the type of agents that are at Lotus Realty.

Shortly after buying my first home, I was bitten by the Real Estate bug and since obtaining my license in 2014 I haven’t looked back. I LOVE being a Realtor so whenever you’re ready to take the next step in buying your first home, selling your home, purchasing an investment property, or that perfect commercial space for your business please think of Lotus Realty and ask for me, Destinee Ward, and let me help turn your dream into an address.
