Each of us are blessed with individualized talents to direct us throughout our lives. Nathalie knew, even at a young age, that her talents would focus around serving others. Born to South American parents, she spent her early childhood in Ecuador with Spanish as her first language and a unique culture that provided a deep respect for family and faith. That early influence never left her and became her foundation as she spent her remaining childhood years here in the states.
Her love for interpersonal connections and relationships guided her on a career path where she could utilize her talents and make a difference in the lives of others. At a young age she started out in retail, communications and public service. Later she transitioned into nutrition and personal training where she could help people on a more personal basis and make a real impact in their lives.
Along this path she transitioned to being a hairstylist and has spent over 23 years working with her loyal clientele and developing vast relationships and connections throughout the community. Friends and clients are a central part of Nathalie’s world but her heart always belongs to the two beautiful daughters she has raised and is preparing to send the first off to college. Her main focus as a parent has been being a role model to her girls for hard work, kindness and positivity.
Although being a hairstylist has been a truly rewarding part of her life, Nathalie knew she could not endure the physical challenges forever and was recommended to the profession of real estate. This change has given her an exciting new opportunity to serve others and, with joining Z. Jones Real Estate a year ago, she strives to utilize her years of relationship building and attention to customers’ individual needs to continue her pursuit of changing the lives of everyone she works with.
Nathalie’s wakes up every day to pursue her mission in life: to be a woman of tender compassion, soulful wisdom, uncompromising integrity and relentlessly commitment to her family, friends and faith.
Tara McDaniel has a genuine heart for helping others. Born and raised just outside of Athol, Idaho, she was brought up in the foundations of faith, family, and generosity. She has always treasured being an active part of her community and getting to know her neighbors through her friendly personality and ability to make everyone feel valued. Tara loves meeting new people and doing what she can to help them reach their goals and dreams.
Growing up in a family that includes 3 generations of builders and construction contractors within Kootenai and Bonner County, Tara is no stranger to the housing industry. She worked alongside her father, a general contractor, swinging a hammer, running equipment, scheduling contractors, working with county offices, and assisting homeowners with the design and finishing touches to their homes.
Along with working in the construction field, Tara has also worked in various avenues of customer service, including being an independent sales representative for her own business. This has helped attain her respect for time and efficiency, as well as develop the principles of loyalty, honesty, and integrity that she was taught from a young age.
After fulfilling her dream of constructing her own home, together with her husband and father, Tara decided to bring together her enjoyment of building, customer service experience, and her love of people, and create her dream career as a real estate agent. Tara’s goal as an agent is to work with home owners and buyers to help them make their dreams come true, all the while sharing the hospitality of a small town feel in an ever-growing area.

Introduction
I was born and raised in TN. I worked in healthcare for 14 years, and as a contract travel healthcare worker has allowed me to explore my love for travel and eventually lead me to the PNW. I have lived in Coeur D Alene for three years, and I have enjoyed all the beautiful landscape and activities Idaho offers. As an avid outdoorsman and former athlete, the PNW allows me to explore my love for the outdoors in my backyard. My interest in real estate, like many, started with renting and acquiring my own personal property. As this interest grew into a passion, I wanted to do it for a living. I love helping family, friends, new homeowners, or someone new to the area find a home that they can call their own.

Introduction
I have developed a sincere passion for real estate that was sparked by personal experiences buying and selling my homes (both positive and negative). These experiences have motivated me to empower my clients with critical information needed to make informed decisions while keeping their well-being in mind. I love this industry and truly hope you can see my passion in my work. I have lived in the Spokane/CDA area for most of my life. I graduated from Ferris High School and a BA in Finance and General Management at Eastern Washington University. I am the mother of two boys and have been married to my husband for 11+ years. I enjoy time with the family, boating, camping, fishing, and spending winters on the mountain in my free time.
