Tari Clay was born and raised in the beach towns of beautiful Carpinteria/Santa Barbara, California. After receiving her State of California Real Estate Salesperson License in 2000 (which is now 26 years in Real Estate Business), she worked aggressively in the Santa Barbara, Carpinteria and Ventura areas with residential and commercial properties. Tari ventured to the desert city of La Quinta, California, and fell in love with her new city and the Palm Springs lifestyle and all it had to offer including an abundance of sunshine, beautiful landscape, polo, golf, art, and of course real estate. After some time, Tari came to find how much Santa Barbara and the desert cities had in common: everyone had a vacation home or second home in the desert.
As one of the top producing Realtors in Palm Springs & Greater Palm Springs, Tari has parlayed her relationships on the California coast and in the desert into an unstoppable real estate selling machine. She works with everyone from first-time buyers to families up-sizing, retirees downsizing and investors. With her well-rounded experience in all areas of estates, ranches, residential, commercial, hotels, motels, and new construction, Tari prides herself on being a one-stop-shop for buyers and sellers. Zillow has also named Tari as the #1 agent in the Palm Springs zip code area of 92262. Tari is also the #1 agent with the Berkshire Hathaway Palm Springs Office 2025 and #2 agent company wide for 2025.
Along with her impeccable sales skills, attention to detail, firm negotiating style, and original marketing ideas she has managed to combine her extensive relationships within the broker community to consistently close deals no matter how difficult they seem during the buying and selling process. Whether it is your first home, your next home, an investment property, or your time to sell, Tari will listen well, work hard, and leverage all her brokerage firm's resources on your behalf. She won't be satisfied until you are. Tari always puts the client first and takes you calls. You get Tari on the phone.
Tari is a member of the Palm Springs Regional Association of REALTORS® and is a member of SAG, IATSE and is also a Professional Makeup Artist, working with many celebrities and political figures in print and commercials.
Tari also brings her passion to the charitable world as well. She has donated her time with the Children's Miracle Network of Santa Barbara, DAP (Desert Aids Project), and volunteered to an 8-week career program for students at Crane Middle School in Montecito. Tari also gives generously to many organizations including DAP, Palm Springs Animal Shelter, Animal Rescue Team, Inc., Santa Ynez, Santa Barbara Animal Shelter, Loving All Animals, cancer facilities, hospice and anywhere else when asked.
In her spare time, Tari enjoys golf, sports, working out, watching Polo, the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, Stagecoach concerts, dancing, cars, and spending time with her fur family of dogs & cats that are all rescues and now in a forever home in La Quinta with Tari.
