She worked in partnership with government officials to change state laws and protocols to better locate and support survivors, responded to emergencies alongside law enforcement in raids, provided escape and aftercare services to more than 3,000 survivors ages 7 to 24, and established the first foster and family agency for trafficked children in the country. She has received many national awards, including L.A. Weekly’s “People of the Year” naming her “The Human Shield”.

"We just purchased a $1M+ home with Sara as our agent. She did an incredible job finding our dream home in an incredibly hot area - before it went on the open market. She helped us get a contract done quickly and then guided us through a complex set of contingencies and got it closed. We could not be happier!"

"Sara is thorough, responsive, honest and an extremely effective communicator. She’s well versed in the market and has exceptional problem solving skills. She has access to an incredible network of listings prior to being public and available whenever we needed - which living in 2 states was amazing. Mostly we appreciated how incredibly skilled she was in handling negotiations while being extremely pleasant to work with! So skilled I made the recommendation she become our corporate representative and welcome other recruits in the same way!"

"I had the good fortune of meeting Sara at an open house. Viewing properties with Sara was informative and stress free in equal measure. Every question was answered and detail attended to with impressive promptness. Her recommendations for home inspector, mortgage and insurance companies were also spot on and made the entire process a breeze. I've felt completely at ease because I know that Sara was not going to miss a single detail. I would sincerely and highly recommend Sara to anyone looking for property in Nashville."

"Tristan was instrumental in helping me buy my first home. He really listened to what I was looking for and helped me find an amazing neighborhood that fit my wish list. Not only did he help pinpoint a great neighborhood, but he also went the next step of helping me locate and go under contract on a home before it was even completed or listed. Thanks to Tristan, I was able to choose many of the finishes in the home, and I walked in with already built-in equity! I cannot recommend him enough!"
Home Buyer
"Because we were purchasing a new home on contingency of selling, we needed a realtor who could negotiate lots of moving pieces, and Tristan was that person! He never dropped the ball and was always timely and responsive to all of our needs. Thanks to Tristan, we were able to purchase our dream home and even sold our previous home within the first weekend of it being on the market. What could have been extremely complicated and stressful went through without a hitch. Thanks, Tristan!"
