We originally purchased and most recently sold our home with Tamar after 5 years. Both experiences were perfect, seamless and stress free. Finding an agent that makes this process seem easy is likely hard to come by, but finding an agent that does that *and* instills so much trust and confidence throughout, while being such an amazing person is a dream. If you want a genuine, experienced and caring realtor, don’t hesitate to hire Tamar.

I had an excellent experience working with Parasol. Tamar is a super smart and savvy realtor. You can tell she's passionate about helping her clients, and on top of that she's very nice! Tamar is a great communicator, and we felt safe in her hands. Thank you Tamar!!

I just bought my first home and knew little to none about the process. Tamar had immense patience with me and went absolutely above and beyond with every infinitesimal detail from insurance/lenders/inspectors and so much more. She was continuously on top of everything and her communication was always consistent. I don't believe you could find a better choice for a realtor, thank you Tamar!!
— Laura
Tamar is the absolute best!!! I was a first-time home seller and was so incredibly neurotic about the whole thing. Tamar held my hand the entire way. So patient, so intuitive about my needs and concerns. I swear she could be a therapist too! I can't imagine having gotten through the process without her. And, at the end of the day, she got me $150,000 over asking!!! I can't recommend Tamar enough!

Working with Tamar was a pleasure from beginning to end. Tamar is very responsive and knowledgeable, while also being encouraging and energetic. Her expertise resulted in a very smooth transaction. I was also grateful for the way Tamar educated me a about the process and my options. This was my family’s second time working with Tamar and I would not hesitate to work with her again.

Tamar closed the deal and was a pleasure to work with. She is a professional with integrity, class, and savvy. She listens and respects your goals but steers you to your best outcomes. She has an excellent aesthetic which can make all the difference in being a real estate advisor. When we changed our minds from doing a rental to a sale, she pivoted with grace and got amazing results fast. Most of all, she cares about her clients. I highly recommend her.

Tamar was the perfect guide for our first-time home-buying experience. She’s extremely professional every step of the way, efficient, responsive, etc., and advocates for you and your needs extremely well. I couldn’t imagine a better REALTOR.

Tamar is an exceptional real estate agent. We were extremely impressed with her knowledge of Westchester and her responsiveness throughout our transaction. Tamar had great ideas for improving the property value and connected us with some excellent resources so we could start the renovation process. We highly recommend Tamar and will definitely hire her again for future projects.

I and my sisters hired Tamar to be our agent to sell my mother's house after her passing. She was very comforting about our loss and really helped us deal with getting my mother's house ready to sell. She was very professional and paid deep attention to our mourning process without any pressure. She gave us great advice on how to clear 50 years of clutter and to keep all the right furnishings and art to make the house look brand-new. The house sold in 2 weeks and we got well over our asking price. I would highly recommend Tamar to represent you in any buying or selling needs you might have.

At one point in my home-buying journey, Tamar Asken told me that one of the reasons she loves being a REALTOR is she gets to work with her clients as they browse through all the what-ifs of life. What would life be if you live in a condo downtown? What about the Valley? A house in mid-city? I was initially overwhelmed by all those what-ifs but that faded away when I started working with Tamar. I said I wanted to look all over LA and we did exactly that, never once feeling pressured into making a decision. When looking at a property we’d talk through the plusses and minuses and with each, we both learned a bit more about me and what I was looking for...

It was 2020 and the world was in the middle of a pandemic. I decided to sell my rental home in Los Angeles in mid-October. Tamar, also a Certified Financial Planner, understood why I needed to sell by December 31st. Even more challenging--California was experiencing some of the highest numbers of COVID-19 infections and deaths in the United States. The house was not particularly and easy to sell—older (1921); the second unit on the property was uninhabitable making it difficult to get a conventional loan; most likely needed a cash sale; tenants still occupied the house, and I lived in Oregon. Tamar, with all of her many years of skillful real estate...

Tamar Asken is fabulous! We met a year before I sold my condo. Way before I hired her as my REALTOR, she met with me several times to offer suggestions on how to best prepare if I were to sell. I did everything she recommended, and voila, we were able to substantially increase the value of my unit, and sell it over the asking price. The whole process was seamless. With all the challenges presented by Covid, Tamar was able to safely bring in potential buyers, and accommodate my work-at-home schedule. Within six days of listing, we had multiple offers, and went into escrow! Escrow itself went smoothly and our buyers were super easy and accommodating. ...

We began working with Tamar at the recommendation of a friend. Tamar made it a point to explain her approach and to get a clear understanding of what we wanted. She promptly and patiently worked with us to prepare our townhome for sale and help us look for a new home. For the sale, Tamar arranged beautiful photography to capture our place. She diligently promoted the property and was able to get us a cash offer at asking. She carefully worked with us and the buyer to finalize the purchase details and everything went as smoothly as possible. For our purchase, Tamar was extremely understanding of our whims and helped us stay on track. She helped us se...

Tamar was the best REALTOR my husband and I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Being out of state it was a little difficult to purchase a house, but Tamar made it as easy as possible. From finding suitable options all the way through the purchase of the house, Tamar was always available to answer any questions we had and quickly handle any issues that came up. She negotiated a great deal for us and we are thrilled with our purchase.
— Zack B.
Tamar is a seasoned professional that has lived through it all. Her guidance and personal touch make the daunting process of searching and buying, pleasant and as hassle-free as possible. She is meticulous and navigates this world with ease.
— Lisa H.
Tamar was very knowledgeable and very helpful in surviving the challenge of buying a home. She is very professional and will do everything it takes to facilitate the process.
— Melissa C.
Loved working with you, Tamar. Tamar was a really good listener. She really heard what I was looking for and did not waste my time with properties that did not meet my criteria. She also is very honest, and will not try to push things that she knows aren’t good. Finally, she worked tirelessly with me for months until she found the perfect property for me. I recommend her wholeheartedly.
— Julie D.
Tamar was recommended to us by a friend, so my experience is likely one in a chain of many great ones. We are first-time buyers and had zero ideas of what to expect to buy, during and after the process. Tamar was perfect throughout and exceeded all my expectations of what an agent could be in this process. She was proactive, available, responsive, extremely patient and helpful, informative, answered all my questions (despite many stupid ones), and continues to recommend and help after we've purchased, passing on good contacts for contractors and making sure we are happy in our new home. Best of all she's a pleasure to deal with. Thank you, Tamar!
— Ryan G.
Tamar is fantastic patient, thoughtful, and a great listener who pays attention to what you want and need and then works hard to find it for you. We sold our old house and bought our new house with Tamar, and we couldn't have asked for a better agent. In fact, if you had to ask me what her best quality is, it'd be a tough choice. She's awesome at explaining all the complicated legalese and scary real-estate mumbo-jumbo. She's amazing at finding solutions to unexpected problems (we had some strange contractual/financial hiccups when trying to sell our old place, and she didn't sleep till she found a way around them). She's unbelievable at never flagg...

Tamar is diligent, scrupulously honest, genuinely enthusiastic, and empathetic. Beyond these outstanding character traits, she has a tenacious intellect and delights in gaining knowledge, spotting trends in the marketplace, knowing the pulse of the larger economy and socioeconomic trends affecting young and old alike, whether helping us as a family make informed decisions about neighborhoods and trends or advising me in ways to think ahead for my elderly mother and the residential and economic issues and strategies she currently faces and will have to manage in the future. She uses her wisdom to always know more, learn more and make sure that her cl...

I have worked with Tamar as my real estate agent for almost a decade and have referred her to many friends. She has helped me to buy two homes and sell one. She makes the complex and potentially dramatic process of real estate transaction smooth with her excellent communication, business savvy, and competent team. Even complex transactions and challenging personalities are no match for her professionalism. Whether you are looking for the right financing option or which remodeling project you should undertake for the best return on your dollar, Tamar gives sound advice backed by her great experience and local network. But the best part about working ...

We were up against 4 other buyers buying our dream house. Tamar had specific, smart ideas to help us not only win the bidding but close the deal with a very short escrow. She was always available to us, no matter how big or small our concerns were. She's the closer you want in your corner.
