About Tarryn
A local Realtor who actually picks up the phone.
I'm Tarryn Venne — born and raised in Durham Region. I've lived in Whitby, Pickering, Scarborough, and Brooklin, which gives me a real, lived-in understanding of the neighbourhoods I sell in.
Before real estate, I built and sold a car detailing business from scratch. That taught me everything I bring to my clients today: relentless attention to detail, straight-up communication, and the discipline to follow through long after the handshake.
Five years in, I've helped first-time buyers, growing families, downsizers, and investors get exactly what they wanted — without the pressure tactics, ghosting, or guessing games that give the industry a bad name.
What I do
One Realtor, two very different jobs — done properly.
"Realtor" gets thrown around like it's one role. It's not. Selling a home and buying a home are different jobs with different pressures, and they need to be handled differently. Here's how I work on each side.
As your listing agent
Your home is usually your biggest asset. My job is to position it, market it, and negotiate it so you walk away with the most money in the least amount of time — with no surprises along the way.
- Honest pricing strategy — backed by real, current comparables, not whatever number gets me the listing.
- Prep & staging guidance — what to fix, what to leave, what's a waste of money.
- Professional photo, video & floor plans — the marketing has to make buyers stop scrolling.
- Aggressive online + local exposure — MLS, social, my own neighbourhood watch list, and the local network I've built over years.
- Hands-on negotiation — I sit at the table for every offer. No handing you off.
As your buying agent
Buying isn't just finding a house you like — it's avoiding the wrong one. I help you shop smart, see homes fast, and write offers that win without overpaying.
- Real neighbourhood knowledge — schools, commute, flood plains, future development, the streets that hold value.
- Private showings, fast — usually within 24 hours, including evenings and weekends.
- Honest read on every home — what's a deal, what's a money pit, what's worth bidding hard on.
- Vetted trades & lenders — inspectors, mortgage brokers, lawyers I'd use on my own home.
- Offer strategy that actually wins — without you waking up regretting what you signed.
Why work with me
Most clients tell me the same three things made the difference.
You actually deal with me
No call centres, no junior agent doing the showings. The person you hire is the person who shows up — start to close.
Local intel, not generic advice
I live and work in Durham. I know the streets, the builders, the school catchments, and which listings are sitting for a reason.
Straight answers
I'll tell you when not to buy a house, when not to list, and when an offer's a bad deal. You can't make a good decision on sugar-coated info.
Quick to respond
In this market, days matter. Calls, texts, and emails get answered fast — not 'sometime tomorrow.'
Full-service marketing
Pro photo, video, floor plans, social, and the email/SMS neighbourhood watch list I've built over years of local work.
Investor mindset
I invest in real estate too. I look at every home not just as a place to live, but as an asset — resale, cash flow, long-term value.
In their words
What clients say
We bought our first home last fall and worked with Tarryn from start to finish. As first-time buyers we leaned on him a lot for guidance. He was clear, straightforward, and easy to trust — explained the process in plain terms and made sure we understood every decision. When it came time to make an offer, he handled the negotiations confidently and built strong communication with the seller's agent, which played a real role in us securing the home. I'd recommend him to anyone who wants an agent who puts in the work and actually cares about the outcome.
My sister first connected with Tarryn to sell our house and help her buy her new one. I was going to find my own realtor, but I was so impressed with his hard work that I went with him too — and I'm thrilled I did. Tarryn has been there whenever we needed answers, gone above and beyond with options, and solved issues with other service providers. Our sale was unique — closing separate purchases on different dates — and he worked with all the legal and mortgage teams to make sure everything went smoothly. I could not be happier and would recommend him to anyone buying or selling.
I first met Tarryn when he detailed my car in my driveway, spending way too much time getting every corner clean. He stayed in touch over the years as he transitioned to real estate, and I've always been impressed by his energy and drive. When I was finally in a position to hire him, he didn't disappoint — solid strategy, eager assistance through every aspect of the sale, and an incredible result in record time. Consider him if you need a real estate agent.
We recently had the pleasure of working with Tarryn on our first home purchase and it was an incredibly positive experience. From the beginning he was friendly, professional, and personable. He provided great advice, clearly explained the process, and diligently answered every one of our questions. He was very reliable and available even after the purchase was complete. He's an amazing realtor and we were very lucky to work with him.
Tarryn was amazing and went above and beyond. He helped me out when I really needed it and no other realtors would. On top of that, he was very professional and well prepared. I would recommend him to everyone.
