Client Testimonials

★★★★★
"We definitely not only found our perfect condo we gained an amazing friend. Sarah stuck with us throughout this pandemic for about a year. She is so knowledgeable about the market and isn’t afraid to speak her mind (which is a great thing when you’re relying on someone for their professional expertise). She ALWAYS made sure to tell us every piece of information throughout our process. We literally trust her with everything when it came to finding us not only what we wanted but what we needed. We cannot say enough positive things to describe working with such an incredible realtor. Professional, stylish, funny, kind and above all Savvy when it comes to real estate! If your looking for a home … RUN to Sarah!"

★★★★★
"Sarah was excellent as a buyer's agent. She provided regular listings as both inspiration as well as serious options. She was available any time of the day or night for questions that we had as we were thinking through where to purchase our next home. When it came time to put in an offer, we had complete faith in her ability to represent us as if she were making her own personal home purchase. She offered shrewd advice, complete transparency, a high level of experience, and patience."

★★★★★
"We weren't intending to purchase a new house and when the perfect property dropped into out lap, Sarah helped up lay out the necessary steps, structure a competitive offer, and then helped up to stay patient through the four month closing process. Her initiative with the sellers' agent kept the process moving and us informed. Definitely recommended, especially for complicated purchases involving long-time tenants and remote owners."
- Joseph

★★★★★
"We absolutely lucked out when we found Sarah on Zillow! She showed us a wide variety of places in DC, and we ended up purchasing a house that was a little tricky- it wasn’t listed on the market yet and it was for by owner. Sarah kept frequent contact with the seller to make sure renovations were being completed on time, and she negotiated our purchase so that the house never went on the market and we didn’t have to get in a bidding war. Sarah is professional, kind, quick to handle any issues that come up, and extremely helpful. I would recommend her to anyone." - Amanda

★★★★★
"Sarah was fabulous - knew the DMV market, was effective at identifying neighborhoods that worked us. She knows the process, explained it patiently and clearly. Her responsiveness was almost immediate. Finally - she was very effective and engaging constructively with the opposing realtor. " - Mary

★★★★★
"We were introduced to Sarah with very high recommendations by a close friend. We found her extremely easy and pleasant to interact with, a consummate professional who is clearly very knowledgeable about the DMV area but at the same time who also invests time and effort to better understand and serve her clients’ needs. After we decided to work with her, she promptly exceeded expectations in every conceivable dimension. We could not have hoped for a smoother or more hassle-free of our home. It was truly a pleasure working with her, and we would recommend her very highly to prospective homebuyers and sellers alike." - Elena

★★★★★
"Sarah is truly an awesome, full service realtor. She is excellent at helping at every stage of the process (including post closing renovation technician recommendations). I highly recommend her services to everyone." - Mary S.
