Real estate · and the life around it

Helping you
love where
you live.

Loving where you live is about more than the house. It’s the neighborhood, the people, the coffee shop you keep going back to, and the routines that slowly make a place feel like yours. Finding a home and building a life you love there have always felt like part of the same story.

How Tanya helps

Big moves. Honest guidance.
A clear way forward.

Buying

Buying a home is personal. I help you sort through the choices, understand what matters most, and move forward with a clear head, so you can choose a home and a community you will genuinely love living in.

Selling

Selling a home can feel like a lot, especially when life is already pulling you toward what comes next. I help you decide what matters, position your home thoughtfully, and keep the process clear from our first conversation through closing.

Life at home

I love the everyday part of home: finding a new favorite place in town, trying something in the garden, making a room work better, and learning the stories behind the community. Rooted and the Journal are where I share those discoveries with you.

Rooted is my local field guide to the communities I know firsthand. It brings together neighborhood guides, favorite local places, useful details, and the stories that make each city feel like home, not just a point on a map.

Tanya is the kind of realtor you want in your corner. She knows the Renton market inside and out, communicates clearly, and is straight with you about what makes sense and what doesn't. She's responsive and easy to work with, and you never feel like you're chasing her down for answers. When a deal gets complicated, she knows how to negotiate and keep things moving. If you're buying or selling a home in Renton, I'd absolutely recommend Tanya.

Tanya turned out to be an absolute blessing in our lives. We knew from the minute we met her she was exactly what we were looking for and hoping for. She is the consummate professional. She knows the business inside and out and she will take all of the guesswork out of selling your home while maximizing your profit line. Selling a home can be a very stressful experience but you will be able to relax knowing Tanya has everything under control.

Tanya did an amazing job selling our home. She made sure it was picture ready for getting the maximum possible price for the market. When we ran into snags she went above and beyond to fix them for us. She was available for any questions or concerns we may have had. When it came time to negotiate, she got the best price for us. We can’t thank her enough for all of her hard work and professionalism she exhibited!! You won’t regret going with Tanya and her team!

When your realtor knows what you want even when you haven’t fully decided! Tanya is fabulous to work with. She anticipated what we were looking for and made our experience memorable in a good way! We’ll never use another realtor.

Tanya is one of the most diligent Real Estate agents I’ve ever met. She is one of those people that’s not in it for deal but more importantly the relationship. Each individual she works with is more than just a transaction but a life long friend. She is amazing at what she does.

Ever wish you had a best friend in the real estate biz? Not someone trying to sell ya something, but just someone you could call for advice?! Well Tanya Barrans is that go-to person! When I met Tanya I was dealing with some heavy home repair stuff. I wasn’t sure if I should invest money into my current home or sell it. Tanya gave me incredible advice and helped me map out a plan. She is knowledgeable, friendly, savvy, and understands what it’s like to be a home owner. Whether you’re trying to decide on selling your home, interested in seeing what’s out there for buying, or just need some friendly advice about something- call her up! Keep her number handy. She is an awesome ally to have in your back pocket.

Tanya is a fantastic realtor! She knows the market, especially in the greater Renton area, and is overall a pleasure to work with!

Meet Tanya

Local roots.
Real talk.

I’m a Renton native, real estate broker, gardener, home-project person, and firm believer that good advice should feel honest and human. I know the communities I serve because I’ve lived in them, and I care about helping people build a life that feels like theirs, not someone else’s version of perfect.

Love Where You Live is the idea behind all of it: showing up for your actual life and making home work for the season you’re in. Rooted is the local side of that: my field guide to the neighborhoods, businesses, people, and stories that give a place its character.

The Journal

Good homes. Good food.
Good places. Real life.

The Journal is where real estate meets the life around it: practical ideas for buying, selling, decorating, gardening, food, homeownership, and the projects that make a house feel more like you. Rooted goes deeper into local life, with neighborhood guides and stories from the communities I know firsthand.

Let’s stay in touch

Notes worth opening.

Useful home ideas, local stories, and honest real estate guidance, delivered with no pressure and no polished filler.

When you’re ready

Three weeks out
or three years out,
you can start here.

You do not need a finished plan before we talk. Tell me what has been on your mind, what you hope life could look like next, or what is making your current home feel less like home. I will give you an honest read on your options, including whether this is your moment or whether waiting is the smarter play. You will hear back by the next business day, and it will be me, not an assistant.
