Tamany Hall
Owner, The Simple Touches
Hi, I'm Tamany Hall
I'm the owner of The Simple Touches and I've been surrounded by real estate since I was little. I grew up getting paid $5 an hour to put labels on postcards for my parents' farm!
My very first (real) job was at the front desk of their market center and I've had many roles within RE throughout my life (front desk, agents' personal assistant, auditor, assistant market center administrator, etc.) In 2001, my parents opened up the first Keller Williams brokerage in Northern California.
After graduating from UC Irvine with a mathematics degree, I was an 8th grade math teacher for 6 years, including a 4 year stint in Bogotá, Colombia.
Though I've always had my hands in the real estate world, being an agent has never been on my vision board.
However, I get lost in the creative pieces; I enjoy making things look appealing, consistent and interactive. Pair that with the unlimited potential of social media and my wheels just start turning.
Thus, The Simple Touches was born!

However, I get lost in the creative pieces; I enjoy making things look appealing, consistent and interactive. Pair that with the unlimited potential of social media and my wheels just start turning.
Thus, The Simple Touches was born!
