Local real estate professional Tara Torkkola was born to lead.

As one of the Byron Shire area’s most respected sales representatives, Tara is the Sales Manager leading the sales team at First National Byron and has been a trusted part of the First National Byron sales team for over ten years.

Tara is extremely well connected, confident and savvy with an impeccable reputation. A born negotiator she prides herself on achieving over and above for her clients. Her extensive database, solid contacts and modern marketing techniques including the use of social media ensure consistent results.

So who is Tara? Tara is part of the Byron Shire community fabric, having purchased property in Suffolk Park where she lives with her family. Described by those who know her as an ‘old soul’, Tara’s passion for 1940’s Swing Dancing prompted her to help start the shire’s first Swing Dancing Schools based in Bangalow.

Tara actively engages in mentoring and coaching programs. Over the years she has made close relationships with industry leaders from within Australia who constantly inspire her to take her business to the next level.

Throughout her career she has consistently delivered record property sales across the shire. Her portfolio includes family homes, coastal retreats and large rural properties from Byron Bay, Bangalow to Mullumbimby and the hinterland. Her specialised flair ensures your property is a talking point and sets your assets out from the crowd.

“We quickly recognized Tara’s professionalism and efficiency. When she said she would email or phone, she did. We came to depend on her regular patterns of communication. Tara was also easy to contact at other unexpected times (weekends and late on weeknights), even driving to the Gold Coast to assist us in signing contracts more efficiently to get our sale over the line.”
