IT TAKES ONE TO KNOW ONE. I spent a few years as a licensed real estate agent in N. Idaho. Here's what I know, only about ten percent of agents aren't someone's niece or son in law selling a family property. Of the ten percent left, one percent are five star professionals. Not only do they know the macro, that is the local/regional/national market, but they know the micro, the bewildering details that are typical of a residential sale. Better still, the one percent can see a problem headed at the seller or buyer and take care of it. What this means is if you buy or sell and use Tanya Starkel and her team at Avenue Stone, you can sleep well at night. We wouldn't dream of buying or selling without them. They're worth every penny because they get top dollar on a sale and true market value on a buy, an ability few in this profession can claim.

"Most Hard Working REALTOR!"
There’s others we have tried and she’s the only one that worked hard and wasn’t trying to sell it quickly just to sell. She listens to her clients and works together with us as a team. If you’re looking for a trust worthy, hard working, and respectful this is the realtor you need. Thank you, Tanya!

Tanya and team came recommended via contacts in the area and we couldn't be more thankful we were lucky enough to have her team working with us. She made our long distance move back to the region less stressful as her communication was always prompt and thorough. She has continued to be a great resource and demonstrates she cares about those she has helped buy a home.

"She’s simply the best!"
I cannot recommend Tanya Starkel and her team at Avenue Stone Real Estate enough! As homebuyers living out of state, we were nervous about navigating the process, but Tanya made it an absolute breeze.
During a quick day trip to Spokane, she expertly guided us in finding our dream home in the Rockwood neighborhood. Remarkably, we were able to view properties, make a decision, and submit an offer—all in just one day! Tanya’s efficiency and expertise truly impressed us.
What stood out the most was her extensive network of professionals. She connected us with reliable inspectors, lenders, and contractors, which allowed us to manage the closing process seamlessly from out of state. Her wealth of knowledge about the local market and services was invaluable.
Thanks to Tanya, we are now happily settled in our dream home. If you’re looking for a dedicated, knowledgeable, and supportive realtor, look no further than Tanya Starkel.

"We have already recommended Tanya to friends and family."
Tanya listed our home after it had been on the market for 6 months without a successful transaction. She gave the listing new energy by upgrading the listing photos, shooting numerous videos and prominently promoting it on social media. Her new approach immediately yielded showings during which she was diligent in keeping us apprised of their status. In less than 2 months, we received an offer which was record time for a high-end luxury home. During the negotiation process, Tanya helped strategize negotiating tactics. In the end, we closed a deal for a fair price.

"She Realistically Went Over the Home Market With Us."
If you want to sell your home with one of the best then I would suggest Tanya Starkel. Her professionalism shined as she treated our home as her own when we went to list with her. She provided professional photography to showcase our home in a beautiful brochure. In addition, a home stager was provided at no cost to us, who came and gave many great tips on ways to make our home more buyer friendly. She was eager to help, and always delivered whatever was promised. She realistically went over the home market with us, so we could value our home at a competitive but fair price.

I interviewed five realtors in Spokane before choosing Tanya Starkel. She’s down-to-earth, authentic, and knows her shit. Moving from out of state, we needed someone who really understood the market and could help us find the right fit. Tanya found homes that perfectly matched our criteria, including ones we hadn’t even seen in our own searches. She was clear, organized, and made viewing homes a smooth process.
Highly recommend Tanya as your realtor.

We cannot say enough great things about Tanya. From start to finish, she did a phenomenal job rolling with the punches and fighting hard to get us into our new home. The process had its challenges, but Tanya never wavered; her confidence, experience, and calm approach made all the difference.
If you’re looking for someone who will advocate fiercely for you and deliver at the highest level, there is no one better in the Spokane area for high-end real estate. Tanya is simply the best.

"Tanya Was an Amazing REALTOR to Work With."
The Spokane housing market is super competitive and she worked extremely hard to help give me the edge needed to close on a house that I could afford in an area that I love. She was extremely friendly, answered all of my questions, and gave me honest information about the houses I was interested in. Her schedule was always flexible and we often saw houses as soon as they were put on the market. She maintained excellent communication with me throughout the months spent house-hunting and I felt like everything was addressed in a very timely fashion. She coordinated seamlessly with the other realtors and lenders involved in my successfully buying a home and made the paperwork part of the process stress free. I highly recommend that anyone looking for a home in Spokane to contact Avenue Stone Real Estate: they will make the process of finding and buying a home as painless as it can be in Spokane! I can’t recommend them enough!

Our house was listed on and off for over a year with another realty group, and for whatever reason it just wasn't selling. Tanya came in, she took over, and had us under contract in five weeks. She is an absolute pro, she is the best of the best.
