$945+ Million in Career Sales | 3,000+ Families Served | Consistently Top-Ranked Year After Year

When experience matters and results count, buyers and sellers throughout the Fox Valley turn to Tamara O'Connor and her team at Premier Living Real Estate.

With more than three decades of real estate experience, over $950+ million in career sales, and 3,000+ families served, Tamara has built a reputation as one of the area's most trusted and consistently top-performing real estate professionals. Year after year, The Tamara O'Connor Team ranks among the leading teams in St. Charles, Kane County, and the surrounding Fox Valley market.

In 2025, the team achieved over $65 million in sales, earning recognition as the #1 team in Kane County for resale properties and the #2 team in St. Charles.

But behind every sale is something far more important: a family, a new beginning, an important investment, or a meaningful life transition.

As Broker/Owner of Premier Living Real Estate, Tamara leads a dedicated team alongside her daughter and business partner, Amanda Laughlin. Together, they combine decades of experience, innovative marketing, skilled negotiation, and exceptional local knowledge with the personal attention of a family-owned, independent brokerage.

For sellers, Tamara brings a strategic approach to pricing, home preparation, marketing, and negotiation. From first-time sellers to luxury estates, unique properties, and new construction, her team knows how to position homes to attract qualified buyers and achieve the strongest possible outcome.

For buyers, Tamara offers the advantage of extensive market knowledge, valuable local connections, and experienced guidance in a competitive market. Whether purchasing a first home, moving up, downsizing, relocating, or building new, clients benefit from honest advice, thoughtful negotiation, and a team committed to protecting their interests.

Proudly serving St. Charles, Geneva, Batavia, Elgin, South Elgin, Wayne, Huntley, Dundee, Elburn, and surrounding Fox Valley and Northwest Suburban communities, Tamara believes that truly exceptional real estate service starts with knowing the local market inside and out.

That 100% local focus, combined with worldwide exposure through Premier Living's affiliation with Leading Real Estate Companies of the World®, gives clients the best of both worlds: hometown expertise and global connections.

While the sales numbers and rankings speak to the team's success, Tamara considers the relationships built along the way her greatest accomplishment. Repeat clients, referrals, and generations of families who continue to trust her team are the foundation of her business.

Proven Results. Personal Service. 100% Local.
