Meet the Team

 

Tara Savage, Team Leader 

Tara moved to the Charlottesville area in 1985 just as she was starting high school. She moved to Northern Virginia to attend college and graduated from George Mason University in 1993 with a BS in English, and moved back to Charlottesville. In 1997, Tara got her real estate license and partnered with her mother, Judy Savage, already a successful local Realtor, who was an invaluable mentor.  In 2001, Judy and Tara opened RE/MAX Assured Properties and formed The Savage Team and in 2015 they joined Keller Williams Alliance.  Upon Judy’s retirement in 2019, Tara took over leadership of the team.

Tara has a daughter, Peyton, who is a student at Longwood University and a son, Grant, at Albemarle High School.  Their family are all animal lovers and count several pets as family.  Tara currently lives in Forest Lakes, but has also lived in Dunlora, Lake Monticello, and Fieldbrook making her an expert all over town.  In her time away from work, she can probably be found watching her son play baseball somewhere or enjoying everything that Charlottesville has to offer.
