About Tara Tom

Growing up here & calling Dawson Creek home for over 30 years I help others make it home

Tara Tom

I grew up in Dawson Creek, and my family ties here run deep. My husband Josh and I set down our roots in this community and raised our three daughters here. Today our girls and their families, including our three grandchildren, live here too. This is home, and I love helping others make it their home as well.

I knew in high school that I wanted a career in real estate, and I chose to raise my family first. In 2013, after a family meeting with my husband and daughters, we decided the time was right. I completed my licensing course and became licensed in 2014.

I specialize in hardworking first-time homebuyers who are ready to stop renting and start building equity, and I developed the Ready-to-Own Method to guide them from our first conversation through to receiving their keys. With sellers, we focus on a clear plan and regular communication through each stage of the sale. Whether you are buying or selling, I make sure you understand exactly where you stand every step of the way.

Before real estate, I spent years with Gold Canyon Candles, where I built and led a sales team and developed a strong foundation in leadership and client care. I have coached basketball and soccer, served as president of the Parent Advisory Council while my children were in elementary school, and I am an avid volunteer in our community. Today I also co-own Josh Tom Contracting & Renovations Ltd. with my husband, Josh.

Outside of work, I have a passion for fitness, and I enjoy camping, the outdoors, travelling, and spending time with my grandchildren.

Your Trusted Guide in Real Estate

Buying or selling a home is a major decision, and I am here to support you from start to finish. I keep you informed at every stage, explain each step in plain language, and share what I see in the local market so you can make confident choices. Whether you are buying your first home, investing, or moving into your next one, my goal is to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Selling & Buying Made Easy

My Services

Here’s how I guide you through each stage, so you always know what to expect and what comes next.

Selling Process

I start by visiting your home to see the property and the updates you have made, then compare it to current listings and recent sales nearby to give you a price range. Before your home goes live, I help you prepare it to make a strong first impression. Once it’s listed, I watch the market and showing feedback closely, especially in the first two weeks. When offers arrive, we review each one together, and I break down exactly what you can expect to walk away with.

Buying Process

We start with a conversation about your goals and getting your pre-approval underway, so you know your budget before you start looking. From there, we build your wish list, explore neighbourhoods, and view homes that fit. When you find the right one, I guide you through writing an offer, working through the conditions, and every step until you receive your keys. First-time buyers also get my Ready-to-Own Method workbook to follow along the whole way.
