About Sara

Business Philosophy I work for my clients in their best interest. I work with my colleagues with respect and consideration. I practice The Broker Golden Rule, treating my fellow professional as I would want to be treated. I maintain an excellent reputation with my colleagues which truly benefits my clients with both selling and buying their homes. Buying or selling a home requires the agent to educate their client every step of the way and prepare them for all events to come. I am there to manage the details to assure a smooth transaction and to be available to answer questions whenever needed.
