Sara Deskins

" Not sure I can capture the great working relationship we have had for six years in a single paragraph. From the start, Sara was always eager to get involved and do things for a sale that I felt guilty letting her do, but didn’t have time to do at the moment. She never hesitates to find a solution, a specialist/handy person and always has a great idea of how to improve the appearance before a showing...just ask her. Pleased that we were always successful, but sad as I am now leaving that marketplace and won’t have another property in the area to work with her on...at least for a while. Give her a call. You won’t regret it!"
-Dan Cretin

" I had a great experience working with Sara. She was very professional throughout the process and made sure everything proceeded smoothly. She was always available for questions and went above and beyond to make sure I was fully informed and content with the entire process. Would definitely recommend her! "
- Shawn Tavakoli

"Sara is an Angel truly sent from above. She was soooo amazing throughout the process of me buying my first home. She treated the process as if this home was hers. Sara was very responsive to every email and text in order to close the deal. I would HIGHLY recommend her to ANYONE that’s looking to buy or sell a home and looking for an honest agent."
- Sterling “Steelo” Brim

" Sara is amazing and a lifesaver. She has helped me, both, buy and sell a place and is incredibly organized, resourceful and a pleasure to work with. Great attitude, very knowledgeable and reliable as well. There is absolutely no way I'd be where I am today without her help. Can't recommend her enough!"
- Mike Asner

"Over the last 6 years Sara helped me buy my first condo, sold my condo and is currently negotiating the purchase of my new home. As a single female buyer I needed someone who would really advocate on my behalf and help navigate the mortgage/escrow process. I have found her to be responsive, knowledgeable and tenacious in negotiations. I recommend her wholeheartedly."
- Whitney Beatty

"I really enjoy working with Sara. She was my agent when I bought my place and she was the first person I enlisted for the job when I was ready to sell 8 years later. She always communicates what's going on at any given time and whenever I had a question, she responded nearly instantaneously. She has a knack for making the whole buying/selling experience as stress free as possible."
- James Jimenez

"Sara has been renting and managing our condo for many years in Hollywood before we decided to sell with her. She is the best. Our apartment was always rented out with no gaps in between and she has always done a great job making sure everything was running smoothly. Being overseas, Sara took care most of the apartment's duties and she has never disappointed. Whenever there was an issue, she always had a solution. We never worried knowing Sara would be there to handle it. As for the selling of the apartment, she was even more spectacular. The apartment was only listed for a brief time and then sold beyond our expectations. She is extremely organized, knowledgeable, experienced, efficient and kind. She really is a spectacular agent who really knows how to make her clients happy. I highly recommend her and have recommended her to many of my friends as I know she'll always do a superb job!"
- Betty M. Meng

"Before Sara sold my home she helped me lease it for many years. It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Sara all these years. She has always done a superb job and really helped me in so many ways with the tenants while I was on the east coast or overseas. She went above and beyond to make everything run smoothly and found a solution to every issue. She handled the selling of my apartment with the same professionalism and efficiency I had come to expect. She reacted very quickly to feedback from the market and sold my apartment in no time to my great satisfaction. She is also a really genuine and pleasant person to work with. I highly recommend her. "
- Annukka Pullola

"We were dealing with first time buyers of our condo in Studio City. They dragged their feet on signing documents which caused a prolonged escrow. Needless to say there were some stressful times during the process but Sara was there every step of the way for us. She negotiated a per diem for us to compensate for the delays, stood her ground when unreasonable requests were made by the buyers, and always had our best interests in mind. Sara is as professional as they come and we highly recommend her for any real estate needs."
- Lawrence and Krista Cassel

"Sara helped us with finding our first sweet little condo in 2010. She was super easy for a first time buyer like us to work with, so accommodating, and very professional. 7 years and 2 kids later, when we decided to sell the condo and search for our new home, we knew who to call. She made our condo look so much more attractive resulting in 14 amazing offers! She also brought in another associate who was familiar with the new area and made us even more confident that we would find our perfect home in this very competitive LA market. And we did!!"
- Junko and Paolo

"Sara Deskins was delightful to work with... extremely thorough and tough when she needed to be. She sold my home and helped me buy our new home. I highly recommend working with her."
- Brian Friedman and Daniel Brown

"Sara was by far the best realtor we could have hoped for! She was so attentive to our every need, I highly recommend her to anyone looking for "the perfect realtor". This was our first home purchase and we had a lot of questions, and she walked us through every step and was very patient with us. She went ABOVE AND BEYOND as a realtor and I plan on using her for all future real estate purchases and sales. You will not regret having Sara as your realtor, I highly recommend her to everyone!"
- Natalie A. (Business Manager for Celebrity client)

"Working with Sara on our rental and then the sale of our condo was a breeze. If you're feeling overwhelmed or stressed about any part of the process, she's the calming, confident presence you need. We look forward to working with her to buy our next home!"
- Lauren and Jeremy Azevedo

"I worked with Sara since 2012. She has always been very professional, reliable and prompt whenever I needed anything. She was able to rent my home for years and recently sold it. It was only on the market for less than a month and she got me more than the asking price! I highly recommend working with Sara. She is very knowledgeable of the market."
- Marc Partial

"We have bought 2 condos (on both sides of the hill) and sold 1 using Sara. Not only is she lovely, she knows the market, prices properties to sell and always responds quickly. We highly recommend her!"
- Terry and Dom Nuzzi

"I feel so lucky to have Sara help me with selling my condo. She was so knowledgeable and guided me through all the hoops it takes to sell a home. Her honesty and ethical business practice made me feel safe and well taken care of. Sara has a lot of experience which led to giving me enormous amounts of advice. I never felt rushed or pushed to make any rash decisions. Sara also helped me find a rental in no time to move to after selling my condo. I will use Sara as my agent as long as I can."
- Lissette Schetini

"I have bought and now sold with Sara, and during both processes, she was knowledgeable, transparent, and efficient. She is trustworthy above all, hard to find in LA real estate market, so know you are going with a pro who has your best interests in mind."
- Kathryn Hostettler

"I loved working with Sara. I'm new to the area, and know nothing about the real estate process in California. My move was also complicated by the fact that I was working with a relocation company which required all kinds of additional paperwork and processes. Sara guided me through all of it, communicating directly with the relocation people, providing great advice and insight, and making sure I was able to close on time. I wouldn't hesitate to work with her again"
- Nikki Bussard

"Working with Sara was a blessing for our family! She helped us navigate the unique LA market as well as the ins and outs of purchasing our first home. Her contacts for lending, appraisals, inspections, etc are honest, knowledgeable and accountable in every sense of the word. The process was painless, quick and in the end everyone involved was happy and appreciative that she was the lead point of communication. We met Sara while leasing a home and a year later utilized her services and expertise in the purchase of our new family home. I would recommend Sara to anyone in the LA market, whether it is your first home, second home or merely an investment property as she seems to have experienced it all during her career. We look forward to working with Sara again in the future!"
- Jared Magourik

"My husband and I are newlyweds and we are 1st time home buyers. It was important for us to have a realtor who would be invested in getting to know us, care for what we were looking for, reels us in and comfort us if we get frustrated or discouraged by sellers and yet be tough and a fair negotiator. Sara checked all the boxes. This was the biggest purchase of our lives and with Sara we knew we could count on her to help us through the process and have a smooth learning experience. She was always thorough, explain every paper we needed to sign, the process we were going through and would let us know exactly what would come next so there were never any surprises. We appreciate and admire Sara’s responsiveness, how welcoming she always made us feel and how patient she was with all our million questions. I myself am a bit of a control freak but with Sara I never felt that I had to take the wheel. She is a great team player. She never pushed away a listing that I may have shared with her to check out. Among the many things I could go on to say about Sara I found her many resources and connections she has very valuable—from finding our mortgage advisor to hiring home inspectors. Our family and friends always ask how did we find our home in such a short amount of time and I always say it was because of Sara. We had the best realtor in the market and the three of us made a great team."
- Jenn and George Stevens

"We are first-time homebuyers, and we don't know what we would have done without the dynamic duo, Sara and Angie! Throughout the process, they were always available and eager to provide deep knowledge of process, policies, and forms, proactive guidance on negotiations and next steps, and general advice and help to make sure things went smoothly. They even provided a comforting ear when things got stressful! We've just closed on the house of our dreams, and Sara and Angie were a huge part of that - we couldn't recommend them enough! I've already started recommending them to our network, and would recommend both Sara and Angie to anyone looking to purchase in the LA area.""
- Jason McCoy

"We've been working with Sara for over 7 years - she helped us find our first rental apartment in LA when we moved here from NYC and then helped us recently buy our first home. She is beyond incredible to work with, and I'd recommend her to absolutely everybody! She's very patient (it took us a looooong time to find our dream home, and she was great throughout the process), hardworking, understands the different parts of LA, is great at negotiating and is just a really pleasant, fun person. She's the best!"
- Rebecca Bienstock

"Sara is very helpful. She helps you feel relaxed going through this very scary process, so much of which was outside my comfort zone. I am a first time buyer . So, so much was new to me. I was glad I had her to talk with and seemed like she carried me through. She is still helping me with some things that occurred after the sale."
- Lady Gardner

"Sara made the home buying process less scary. She is intelligent, professional, well-connected, had access to various resources, a shrewd negotiator & helped us every step of the way. Buying our home required quite a bit of negotiation, knowledge of the market and regulations, and she responded quickly to questions, we never felt like we had to wait for her to get back to us. Working with Sara felt like being with family & when we closed escrow, she was as excited for us as we were! I would definitely recommend Sara for any home buying or selling needs."
- Z. Ibanez

"Sara Deskins listed my condo for sale, negotiated with potential buyers and sold it. Sara did an amazing job, I was away and she took care of every aspect of making the unit ready for closing and kept me posted daily. I felt lucky to have Sara as my real estate broker."
- Jaffa Jaffe

"Not all brokerages work the same!! Some like to sleep late every morning and respond to your problem on their convenient time. Not Sara!! She is one of the best!! Could not do it without her. She knows houses inside and out. She used to work with a builder in Chicago. Her knowledge and experience helped save me a lot of money. When it comes to buying or selling a home I recommend to get someone that works hard, will be there for you on your work schedule any time of the day. When you need help with all the matters that come with buying your home, someone who will guide you, negotiate for you and find you the right home, will help you learn anything you need to know about foundation, roofing, construction, termite and all the stuff that comes with buying a home. Finding you the right people to fix and negotiate for you and save you a lot of time and money... If that applies to you... Sara is the right person for helping you. I work with a lot of brokers over the years and Sara is the Best by Far. Buying or Selling your home usually can get stressful. Sara helped me and was with me all time from early morning to late night. Thank you Sara I could not do it without your experience!!!"
- Ron York

"I've purchased close to about 30 residential and commercial properties in my lifetime..each having its own unique successes and failures. But, when it comes to the home I plan to live in, I am the pickiest and most demanding person to deal with. That's why working with Sara and Angie was so frustrating... I couldn't find a darn thing to complain about !! Their knowledge and expertise made the whole transaction seamless. They literally answered questions before I asked them. Even with the limitations that covid brought, they did not miss a beat. From multiple text messages, videos, quick responses even late at night, their accomodation we so much appreciated. The service I received was truly superb to say the least. Thank you Sara, Thank you Angie. See you on property #31 :)"
- Sung Kim

"Sara was a tremendous help when it came to purchasing my property. After an incredible amount of searching for weeks and months, she found me the best property in one of the best areas of LA for my budget. I can not express how knowledgeable and friendly she is and I would absolutely recommend her services. On top of all this, she helped lease this same unit in an INCREDIBLY tight window. She is up for the challenge."
- Mike Asner

"Sara was amazing to work with, super responsive & helpful throughout a tricky negotiation. Couldn't be happier with my house and can't recommend enough."
- Scott Dacko

"Ms. Deskins has been a tremendous asset in our goals to own property. She is an extremely knowledgeable professional who takes a personal interest in the satisfaction of her clients. She is very hard working and does her best to meet client objectives. She is the best realtor we have worked with. It is a pleasure to know her and look forward to working with her in the future."
-Dr. Dan Hibbler

"Sara helped us find our first home as newlyweds four years ago. The condo was everything we hoped for and because of Sara's expertise we got an excellent price. Three years later when we were ready to move we called Sara immediately. Selling our condo was bound to be a challenge because our HOA was in a financial dispute with the builders. Sara went above and beyond, doing legal research to protect us and potential buyers, marketing the home thoroughly, and holding weekly open houses. She sold our condo quickly and at the price we hoped for when other condos in our building had been on the market for ages. She is friendly, professional, reliable, and will make you feel as if you are her only client even when she has a million things going on. We highly recommend her."
- Phil & Shoshana Cutler

"Our search spanned several years during a very difficult period in the real estate market, financial market, and our own personal recession-related challenges. Sara was with us every step of the way, and this was not a high-end transaction! I recommend Sara as a skilled, motivated, patient, ethical, and tenacious professional in every sense of the word. It was our good fortune to have found her and our pleasure and honor to have had her on our side for such an important endeavor."
- Mike and Carol Benner

"Sara was awesome to work with!! Extremely helpful in coordinating our sale and all issues surrounding the transaction. She was knowledgeable, professional and we always felt she was working in our best interest. We recommend her highly!"
- Christopher and Ellen McAlpine

"Sara was tenacious about selling our unit. She continued to be prompt and courteous throughout the whole process by arriving on time and calling to update me on her progress. Sara is so friendly and she immediately set me at ease. She moved quickly to ensure the sale of our unit. Overall a GREAT experience!"
-Mike and Frosini Smith

"Sara Deskins did an outstanding job getting me my dream home. Sara presented herself as a professional but was very personable. I felt I could trust her. From the start to finish Sara never “dropped the ball.” She fought a tough battle but managed to get me into my home. I would highly recommend her, she is an EXCELLENT realtor."
-Shari Waugh

"Sara Deskins is in our opinion the best real estate salesperson we have ever dealt with. She is not only very professional, but is extremely nice and really great to work with. Sara did anything and everything to make sure we were happy and to try and get the deal done. She negotiated hard, always called or texted us back right away and followed through on everything she said she would. She treated us better than family before, during and after the sale. We highly suggest you choose Sara as your real estate professional."
-Mike and Karen Broadwell

"Sara was an absolute pleasure to work with. She represented us as buyers and took the necessary time to thoroughly inform us of the current properties available and was able to expose us to all the properties that we requested. Sara always displayed a tremendously positive attitude and worked diligently to achieve our goals. She was the consummate professional and we look forward to working with Sara again for all of our future real estate needs."
-Milt and Angel Guggia

"Sara Deskins, guided us through the entire process, from loan pre-qualification to searching for houses to making the offer and closing the deal. We credit Sara Deskins with a smooth, stress free home-buying experience. This is our 3rd property purchase, and never had we had such a pleasurable experience. Sara Deskins is savvy and personable and knows the market inside and out. We never could have gotten our dream home without her. To re-iterate, we are nothing but pleased with Sara and her expertise, we recommend her to everyone."
-El Puma” Jose Luis Rodriguez, Carolina Rodriguez and Genesis Rodriguez

"Sara was available for my many questions and made me feel very confident throughout the process. I highly recommend her."
-Mark Guerzon

"We were extremely pleased with the service provided by Sara Deskins. She did a great job in understanding our needs and in assisting to find an excellent solution which met all of our requirements. She is a highly experienced real estate professional, whom we are happy to recommend to others as well."
-Ari & Riitta Seppala

"I was a first time buyer as well with a number of credit challenges. I needed an FHA loan to qualify, but the property I was interested in had not gone through the FHA approval process. Rather than push me into another property I didn’t really want, Sara Deskins worked tirelessly through the maze of paperwork, red-tape and approvals. I have no doubt no realtor could have worked harder on my behalf to get me the unit I wanted at the price I could afford. Thank you Sara!"
- Kevin Glover

"Sara did a fantastic job of assisting my wife and I in the sale of our condo & the purchase of our new condo. Sara was patient with our indecisiveness and helped guide our decision process to a point where we were comfortable about our decision and our approach. Sara is extremely knowledgeable about her field and that made it a joy to work with her. She is also a very pleasant person to work with. I’d recommend her to anyone and look forward to working with her in the future!"
-Kurt and Debbie Petersen

"We love Sara! Would recommend her to anyone (& have). I will definitely use Sara & Coldwell Banker to find my next home. Would love to be a reference for her."
- Laurel Walsh

"Sara always put in the extra effort to make sure things were taken care of for me. This was my first home purchase and everything didn’t always go smoothly, but Sara always did everything she could to get things resolved. Sara is a very enthusiastic person and it shows in her work."
- Bill Richards

"Sara is extremely patient. She helped me purchase twice as well as sell. I probably made her crazy at times, but she always kept her cool."
-Tracy Edwards

"Sara was extremely helpful to Scott and me. We are extremely picky, so it was great to work with someone as patient as Sara. Scott and I are so happy with our new home and will definitely be working with Sara again in the future"
- Scott Rachford and Nicki DelSasso

"Sara did an excellent job throughout my home search. She gave objective advice on the properties we looked at and provided me with comps from similar units. In addition, she did research on potential projects that would affect the value of the place that I eventually purchased. Overall, I was very pleased and would highly recommend her."
- Shawn DeAmicis

"I was very pleased with everything that Sara did to make the buying process run smoothly and would recommend her without any reservation"
- David Grossman

"Couldn’t have been easier for a first time buyer. Sara was outstanding from beginning to end. Thanks!!"
- Erik Tucker

"Sara was instrumental in securing our first home here in San Francisco! Time is of the essence in this process, and she leveraged her industry relationships to quickly surface new listings, coordinate visits, and answer our questions from start to finish. She kept our priorities in mind throughout each stage of the process, and we would happily recommend her to any family member and friend!"
- Amy and Chris
