Tara Banninger Email & Phone Number

Topton,Pa

I was a licensed Realtor in NY between 2002 and 2008. I moved to PA in the Fall of 2008, but felt I did not know the area well enough to be able to give the level of service I like to provide to clients, and so I pursued other avenues. After living here in PA for a decade, I now feel confident in my knowledge of the area to not only do the job well, but to excel at it! I am excited to be affiliated with Better Homes and Gardens Valley Partners with offices in New Tripoli, Allentown and Emmaus.
