After my wife passed away last year, I knew I needed to sell our family home of 35 years. The house was too big, too full of memories, and too much for me to maintain alone. But the thought of sorting through decades of belongings and dealing with real estate felt overwhelming.

A friend recommended Sarah, and from our very first conversation, I knew she was different. She understood that this wasn't just a transaction—it was me closing a chapter of my life and starting a new one.

Sarah never rushed me. When I told her I needed time to sort through my wife's things, she said, "Take all the time you need. I'm here whenever you're ready." She even helped me coordinate with estate sale companies and recommended a wonderful organizer who helped me decide what to keep, what to donate, and what to sell.

When I was finally ready to list, Sarah handled everything. She brought in a staging team, arranged for professional photos, and even helped me find a short-term rental where I could stay during showings.

Her pricing strategy was spot-on. We listed on a Thursday, had an open house that weekend, and by Monday evening, we had 12 offers. The winning bid was $186,000 over asking. I couldn't believe it.

But what really set Sarah apart was how she continued to help even after the sale closed. She connected me with a real estate agent in the condo building I was moving to, helped me coordinate the movers, and even came by my new place to make sure I was settling in okay.

I'm now happily settled in my condo, and I still call Sarah for advice. She's become more than just my agent—she's become a friend. If you're going through a major life transition and need someone who will treat you with compassion and respect, Sarah is your person.
