Ruth Tarr

As the owner and principal broker of Tarr Realty NW, she takes great pride in the quality of service and expertise that they offer. Though she was born in Virginia, she has lived in Portland since she was five. Her husband and she have raised their children here and cannot imagine living anywhere else! After graduating from Oregon Episcopal High School and Willamette University and the College of William and Mary, she owned a marketing company, Progressive Marketing Concepts, for 13 years before obtaining her real estate license. She has been a licensed Realtor for 12 years and has a complete portfolio of service providers, is a member of the master’s Circle Club, 2012 and 2013 Portland Five Star Real Estate Agent’s Award Winner (among only 7% of Realtor’s in Portland). When she is not working, she spends her time volunteering, traveling, golfing, cooking, working out and spending time with family and friends. She is proud to say that she is on the Advisory Board for the Breast Center at Providence St. Vincent’s Hospital and volunteers at their Transitions Center. She has volunteered in the past for Doerrnbecher’s Children’s Hospital and Medical Teams International. As a top producer, her love of buying and selling homes is apparent in every step of every transaction. She prides herself on being relationship driven, not transaction driven.
