Our History

Originally established as the R.E.

R.E. Tarpley, Sr. was joined by his son R.E. “Dick” Tarpley, Jr in 1940 and later by his grandson Randall E. “Randy” Tarpley in 1969. Randy Tarpley has been a licensed Realtor® for more than 50 years and is still active today. Amy Tarpley Wade continues the legacy of her family as a fourth-generation Realtor® committed to continuing the traditions established in 1927.
