"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!"

"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!"
