Tara Habeck joined the Sam Vail Group in 2020 and is excited to find an organic fit with a team that works cooperatively, where seasoned realtors coach her natural business acumen and instincts. Most recently, she was a small business owner in Ann Arbor for nearly a decade, and one of the first dozen educators in the country to provide an all-outdoor forest school for early learning, where she became an expert in her field.

She was interviewed by the New York York Times and NBC, and appeared in local news outlets including a television appearance on The Green Room.

Fluent in Spanish, she studied in Chile for a year and taught in the public schools in Madrid, Spain. She also lived in Puerto Rico for three years, where she worked for Accion, a major microfinancing lender for small businesses with outreach to women and minorities. As point person for all of Puerto Rico, she met with bank managers to present the program and taught credit seminars to the public, completely in Spanish. She traveled extensively throughout South America, Asia, and spent 6 months studying yoga in India. Tara brings energy and excitement to the team, with her unique business perspective and vast people experience.
