FAQs

  • Unlike most teams that delegate listings to inexperienced agents, we operate with a boutique, marketing-first model. You'll work directly with Tarah and a small, specialized team: a Buyer Agent, a Client Concierge Coordinator, and a full-time Chief Marketing Officer—all focused on getting you maximum exposure, strategic results, and concierge-level support.

  • Not always—but strategic presentation matters. Our team walks every listing with a designer’s eye and leverages in-house staging guidance (or light refresh tactics) to make sure your home visually connects with buyers. We don’t believe in fluff staging—just targeted changes that sell.

  • We don’t just post to MLS and hope for the best. Every listing is backed by a custom media kit, SEO-optimized copy, paid ad campaigns, retargeting, listing video, IG exposure, and lead-tracking funnels. Your home is marketed like a brand—not just a house.

  • Absolutely. Our Chief Marketing Officer specializes in locating properties not publicly listed—ideal for buyers, investors, or anyone seeking leverage in a low-inventory market. These aren’t gimmick deals—they’re vetted, opportunity-driven properties we source through strategic lead gen and direct outreach.

  • Forget follower count. What matters is:

    • Time available to work your listing

    • Proven negotiation experience

    • Ability to present and promote your home with strategic depth

    • A full team (not just assistants) behind them
      We built The Collective to deliver all of that—and more.
