About Tara

With a corporate background of over 30 years in the real estate industry and a family lineage of three generations in the business, Coldwell Banker Realty agent Tara Rowe Hawley's knowledge is unmatched by peers. From corporate real estate business valuation and appraisal at Arthur Andersen in New York City for five years to corporate real estate asset management at Starwood Capital Group in Greenwich, CT for over seven years to personal real estate investments, Tara's breadth of experience, well-honed analytic skills and negotiation expertise are the perfect trifecta of strengths to help buyers, sellers and investors throughout Fairfield County achieve their real estate goals. A native of Fairfield, along with her husband, for 50 years, her familiarity and love for the town, county and state are a distinct advantage to all her clients. As a third-generation real estate agent for over nine years, it's no wonder Tara has a passion, commitment and deep understanding for the business. Her mother, an agent for 40 years, owned her own real estate firm in Southport for 20 years, and her grandparents owned Preferred Properties in Greenwich, CT for over 50 years. Both her mother and grandmother are local legends in the industry. In a short amount of time in sales, Tara has become a Coldwell Banker Global Luxury Property Specialist and has earned the International President's Elite award for 2020 and 2021, an honor reserved for the top 3% of agents globally as well as President's Circle award for 2023 and 2024. She was the #1 agent in the Fairfield office for 2020 and 2021 and a Top 50 Individual-Producing Sales Agent in Connecticut for 2021. Her rapid growth and trajectory in sales is due to her straight shooting, open mind and commitment to her clients, a true market maker. Tara graduated from the University of Connecticut School of Business with a degree in finance and real estate. By her own admission, Tara loves geeking out on all things real estate. She likes a good deep-dive into every aspect and nuance of the deal and enjoys matching buyers with dream homes, sellers with their next chapter in life and investors with viable properties. She's meticulous in her due diligence and forward-thinking with potential obstacles before they arise. Tara's longevity in the business has garnered a wide circle of trusted industry connections, which is powered by her global network and a highly respected reputation.

Tara appreciates that real estate is one of the biggest investments an individual will make in their lifetime. She is devoted to her clients' bests interests, abides to a standard of excellence, and is transparent, hardworking, highly motivated and reliable. Her many glowing testimonials cite Tara's impressive knowledge of the market and composed, confident and honest demeanor as she led them through a seamless real estate journey. When Tara isn't busy with real estate, even though it is always on her mind, she's busy keeping up with her four sons, from middle school to college age. If she's not on the lacrosse or football field, she enjoys golf, tennis, paddle tennis, skiing and travel. Active, friendly and fun, with a wide circle of friends and connections, Tara is involved in the community.
