About Me

Born and raised on the East End of Long Island, Tara came to St Thomas in 1996 and met her husband to be the very first day! Tara has always been drawn to coastal living & with one look at Caribbean waters, she was hooked!

After decades in the restaurant industry, both in NY and on STT, Tara got her Real Estate License and & has been a full time Realtor on St Thomas since 2005. “I have met so many amazing people in the Real Estate industry. Every transaction is unique; there is always something new to learn.” 

“St Thomas offers so much to so many. We are a non stop destination from over a dozen major US cities. As a US Territory, we have no passport requirement and enjoy all of the rights and privileges inherent to US citizenship and homeownership. The USVI offers easy access to some of the world’s most amazing beaches, dive spots, restaurants and vacation destinations. The USVI is an awesome community to live in and a wonderful place to visit.”

Tara maintains her NY roots – with family still on the East End, she travels back frequently. Tara also holds a NYS Real Estate License & is affiliated with The Coldwell Banker Reliable Realty. Under the Coldwell Banker umbrella, we are all family & family is what Real Estate is all about!

Tara became managing broker of Coldwell Banker St. Thomas Realty in 2022. Contact Tara at tara@coldwellbankervi.com

Working with Tara was a fantastic experience! She was friendly incredibly informative and highly knowledgeable about the market. Her professionalism and dedication made the entire process seamless. Our home sold super quickly and Tara was proactive in handling every detail from start to finish. I would highly recommend Tara to anyone looking to buy or sell!

It was a pleasure to work with Tara Godfrey on the sale of my condo. She is a consummate professional. Tara kept me up-to-date on not only what potential buyers were saying about my condo but the status of the other units in my neighborhood. She shepherded through this sale with intelligence and forethought. I can unreservedly recommend her.

I just wanted to take a moment to share my experience working with Tara. I felt that Tara had my best interests in mind during the home buying process. She would point out all the pros and cons to each property. She would steer me back to center when my over optimistic side would start seeing worth in a dump but also showed me all ends of my buying options with a trained eye. Buying on island is an adventure and there are so many more things to consider than buying stateside. Tara did an excellent job of educating me on the idiosyncrasies of island living. She is very knowledgeable on the island rules and regulation. Her experience is invaluable! I also enjoyed spending time with her while we drove all over looking at properties. She's quick to respond to questions and worked around my busy schedule to get me into all the places I wanted to see even at the last minute. You'll be in good hands with Tara!!

We've had Tara as our agent for multiple transactions on STT. Her knowledge of the local market and her integrity is unparalleled! She always keeps her client's best interests at the forefront and is very transparent in all interactions. We highly recommend Tara!

We have had the pleasure of working with and knowing Tara since around 2013. We flew in from stateside then and she arranged multiple showings over 2 days. We were pleased that each property shown possessed very many qualities that hit the mark. She understood our style and needs immediately! We purchased a fabulous property that checked off every box—including a remarkable sunset view! In 2022 we made the difficult decision to sell and consulted Tara. She listed and produced a viable offer in less than a week. We could not have been happier with our experiences. Tara is a winner!

In my life I had been fortunate to purchase several houses including some on the island. Working with Tara was the best experience yet. She is attentive always on point and gets things done. It's as simple as that.

I can't say enough wonderful things about Tara. We fell in love with St. Thomas and couldn't wait to own a home here. She is professional knowledgeable about the real estate market on the island and always responsive. With Tara as our realtor everything went smoothly with our purchase.

Tara is a wonderful person who is always very professional and courteous. She loves the real estate business and has a wide varied inventory of properties and clients that make your search for the right home or office easy. She is what you look for when making the transition to renting or purchasing a new home. Tara has my complete support and trust as such I fully recommend her as a professional and a person.
