    Tara Samuels of Multifamily Mentor Matchmaking

    Tara Samuels of Multifamily Mentor Matchmaking

    On this episode I’m speaking with Tara Samuels, Founder & CEO of Multifamily Mentor Matchmaking.



    If you know Tara, you'll know she has a flair for fostering connections. From onsite roles to supplier endeavors, her journey has been a dynamic blend of experiences since the 90's. Also known as the "relationship-building architect," she's the mastermind behind countless industry connections that stand the test of time.



    In addition to the matchmaking group, she's also a communication disruptor, leveraging her obsession with human connection through video as the VP of Sales at SalesMail.



    Today, Tara resides in Atlanta after a lifetime in Chicago, and in a twist of fate, met her husband Rob at a multifamily conference in Indianapolis. Thankfully, we were able to capture that story, too.
