Tama Heinrichs PROOF
GGrowing up in the northern suburbs of Chicago, Tama loved her hometown, “but not the weather,” she laughs. “I decided that I needed more sunshine. I love sun and I love light,” she adds with a smile.
In 2001, she made the move to Arizona, where she worked as an occupational therapist and met her husband, Wade, a pediatrician. They fell in love, got married, and welcomed their first child. “I knew we were going to have a big family,” she says. This brought them to Colorado so they could live near family. Tama went on to have four more children, becoming a devoted mother as well as a successful entrepreneur.
Tama’s lifelong passion for good design and creative eye led her to open a design and staging business, t.s.heinrichs Design. Owning a business gave her the flexibility to focus on her young family while still enjoying the opportunity to help others create beautiful spaces. At the same time, she and her husband began investing in and renovating properties in Summit County, Colorado.
“Real estate has always been an interest of mine, but initially, the timing wasn’t right,” she says. That changed six years ago. “That’s when I became a REALTOR.” It turned out to be the best of both worlds. Her design background, love of detail, and strength with numbers came together naturally.
“I love using contracts to protect clients and help them achieve the results they desire,” she explains. As a talented designer, she also advises sellers on preparing their homes for the market. “I love listing homes,” she says enthusiastically. “I am extremely involved in the process of preparing a listing. Sometimes simple changes such as a new light fixture, updated furniture layout or fresh paint color can make a significant impact.” Staging is included as part of her service, which is why her listings stand out and attract the right buyers before they ever walk through the door.
Solutions That Make Sense
“How can you invest the least and achieve the largest return?” is the
question Tama asks herself for every listing. “I want to help you make the most of your home when you sell,” she tells her clients. To this end, she provides thoughtful, targeted solutions that make sense.
She also works with buyers, a process she genuinely enjoys. “It’s a lot of fun,” she smiles. “I can help them envision what their home might be.” Seeing potential comes easily to her. “I have even redesigned a kitchen before my client closed on their home to make sure it truly worked for their needs,” she says. Looking beyond a home’s current state and seeing what it can become is one of her greatest strengths.
Going All Out
“I love bringing that creative side into everything that I do,” Tama says. For her, it is all about the details. When she has a listing, she often hosts a neighborhood
event to bring people together. A natural host, she enjoys elevating the experience with thoughtful touches. Think finger foods, music that draws people in, and an atmosphere that encourages guests to linger. “I want to present the house in its best light,” she explains.
Every home deserves to be showcased at its finest, and Tama believes it is both her duty and her privilege to guide clients toward achieving that vision. “Whether it’s a $600,000 home or a five million dollar home, I want every client to feel truly cared for in every detail.”
In today’s market, details matter. Thoughtful elements resonate with buyers and help listings stand out, often leading to faster sales. It starts before buyers even walk through the door, with a feeling that the home has been carefully prepared. “When buyers sense that level of care, it builds trust

Secrets to Success: Connection

She also keeps her finger on the pulse of the community, anticipating what people need and value.
That spirit recently led Tama to host a Winter Wellness Market at milehimodern’s office, featuring 18 local vendors. “It was a community event supporting local businesses with a wellness focus,” she explains. Reflecting her love of the arts, she also invited several local artists to participate. Vendors donated items to a giveaway basket that raised funds for Community Food Share.
In October 2025, she launched her event series Gallery Gatherings. The first event featured watercolor artist and friend Shayna Larsen. “We served a signature cocktail inspired by one of Shayna’s collections,” she recalls. “An incredible pastry chef even printed images from the same collection onto cookies.” With a 10foot charcuterie table and thoughtful details throughout, the evening was unforgettable.
Family, Fitness, and Fun
When she is not working with clients, Tama enjoys volunteering at her children’s school, Dawson School in Lafayette. She helps organize community events, including the Holiday Coffee and Market and a Homes for the Holidays experience with Historic Boulder. “I guess I just love bringing people together,” she laughs.
Tama and Wade are raising five children, four boys and one girl, ranging in age from 12 to 22. Outside of work, she is a dedicated runner, an enthusiastic pickleball player, an avid skier, and a newly minted mahjong fan. “I love people,” she says simply, and it shows.
Aligned and Looking Ahead
Tama is proud to call milehimodern home. “The way they present properties, the professionalism, and the leadership felt like complete alignment,” she says. “We are experts at presenting homes in their most beautiful light, and I feel fortunate to be surrounded by talented and collaborative professionals.”
Looking ahead, Tama plans to continue expanding her event-driven approach while giving back to the community she loves. Beyond the design, the strategy, and the experience, what defines her most is something fundamental.
“It comes back to something simple,” she says. “Being trustworthy and kind matters most.” Through her work, she brings light, warmth, and care to her clients and community, making a meaningful difference throughout Boulder County and beyond.

PROOF
“Tama helped me find and purchase my dream property in this competitive, seller’s market. We looked at several promising, listed homes and she also contacted offmarket homeowners in my desired location. After a few weeks, we found “the one”. Tama took the time to establish a good rapport with the listing agent and diligently researched the property details ahead of time so that we could come in with a strong and compelling offer. To my great relief and excitement, they accepted our offer in a multiple offers situation While the location, layout and views were perfect, the home needed some significant updates With a previous career in Interior Design, Tama was able to help me see the potential in my new home. She showed me 3D renderings of what my new kitchen could look like before I even made an offer. Now, two months postclosing, my home is almost ready for move-in with a brand new kitchen and staircase, wood floors throughout and new paint/doors/ trim. Tama was consistently responsive, pleasant to work with and professional. I have already recommended her to several friends and will continue to do so in the future.”

"Tama sold my home and I am absolutely delighted with the service she provided with such expertise and skill. She helped me set up my home so that it looked its best and it made a difference in pricing my house. I am so grateful to Tama for all the time and energy she used to make sure I had a successful completion to my sale. I would highly recommend her!"

“Tama sold our home in a short time. She walked with us before we put it on the market to discuss a few changes that she believed would make a difference. These changes did take some time but not a lot of money. Boy, she was correct on everything that she asked us to do. Upon going on the market everyone loved our home more than we could have guessed. Tama did an awesome job with staging and we had a contract in quick time. Thank you Tama for ALL you did for us and the care you showed with the selling of our home.”
