"We can't recommend Sarah enough! She's kind, down-to-earth, and full of experience and connections - and she helped us buy a home we love in a neighborhood we didn't think we'd be able to afford. Sarah will be honest with you about how certain houses may or may not align with your budget, but she'll also let you take the lead if there's a property you're interested in that feels like a stretch. We offered one house that we thought we had a shot at and were outbid quite a bit. But the next house - the one we now own - initially seemed out of reach until we read the disclosures with Sarah and realized it needed some repairs that turned off other buyers. Sarah used her connections to help us understand the scope, timeline, and approximate cost of those repairs so we could make an offer we'd be comfortable with, and we won! Sarah is responsive in her communications (call/text/email) and can work around your schedule to go look at properties. She went above and beyond to make us, as first-time home buyers, feel taken care of every step of the way. You'll enjoy your time with her, and she'll really teach you how to fish when it comes to the East Bay market and home ownership in general. You're in good hands with Sarah, so hire her now!"

"Sarah was incredible to work with. We purchased our first home with her, and she made it a great experience. Always answered our questions either by phone, email, or text. Was available whenever we needed her. Going in we did not think buying a home would be this easy. Sarah made the whole process very enjoyable. Her knowledge of construction and knowing what to look for in both new and old homes proved to be extremely helpful for us. Highly recommend and will definitely work with her in the future!"

"My husband and I had a phenomenal experience working with Sarah to purchase our first home. What stands out about Sarah is her in-depth knowledge of foundation, repairs, roofing, etc. I was so glad to have someone so knowledgeable on my team in my search for the ideal home. Whenever we viewed a home, she would fairly point out the potential problems, concerns, and foreseeable repairs that came with the place, which I really valued. Her husband is a contractor and she has absorbed so much important knowledge from him, as well as from her years of valuable experience, that makes Sarah a knock-out realtor. My husband and I work long hours with an often inflexible schedule. As such, we appreciated that she was always super responsive and accommodating (even taking the time to walk through a place with us on Easter Sunday). I highly recommend Sarah to all my friends and relatives!"

"We just bought our first home with Sarah who was professional, highly responsive and had great knowledge about the local Berkeley/Oakland/Albany markets. She consistently went above and beyond to help us find our home, and we cannot recommend her enough. From the very beginning of our working relationship, Sarah impressed us with her professionalism and expertise. She took the time to really understand what we were looking for in a home and used her knowledge of the local market to narrow down the search to properties that met our needs and preferences. Throughout the home-buying process, Sarah was always available to our questions and concerns. She was always quick and flexible to respond to requests to walk through properties together. Further, her expertise in construction was particularly valuable when it came time to make an offer on a property. She provided insightful advice on the condition of the home and the potential costs of repairs or renovations, which helped us make informed bidding decisions. She was always willing to inspect foundations with us (and sometimes would ask her contractor husband to provide an additional opinion as well) to ensure that we knew what we were buying. Lastly, she was also very helpful after we bought our home in helping us understand what we needed to prioritize fixing and who to go to. Sarah made the home-buying process as smooth and stress-free as possible and we would highly recommend her!"

"As first-time buyers, we knew very little about the entire process, except to feel very apprehensive about our prospects in the uber-competitive East Bay market. Sarah's incredible wealth of knowledge, insight, intuition, skills, and hard work turned us from nervous know-nothings into proud homeowners in just under 2 months! In that time we visited 10+ houses, often for multiple hours exploring every nook and cranny, each time learning so much about what to look for when evaluating a home. When we were considering an offer, she wrote diligent notes on the disclosures to make sure we understood exactly what we'd be getting and how to put that into context against other homes in the area. And when we finally made our first offer, she worked her magic to help us beat out 16! competing offers, including one all cash! Beyond her obvious success as a realtor, Sarah's kindness, empathy, and passion for her job make working with her an absolute pleasure. Our only regret after closing is that we don't get to hang out with her multiple times a week anymore. We are so, so grateful that we had the opportunity to work with Sarah and can't recommend her enough."

"We so appreciated working with Sarah as our real estate agent. Her knowledge of construction allowed her to point out important aspects of homes that we wouldn't have thought of, which gave me more confidence. She was also a solid partner: transparent, high integrity, and reliable. Our home-buying process ended up shifting over time, and she rolled with the changes. It's hard to say enough positive things. She was a solid partner, and we are very thankful and lucky that we worked with her."
