I can honestly say that I don’t know if we would have been able to purchase a home in the SoMa area without Sara’s help. Her knowledge of the market is unmatched and she really goes to bat for her clients. Highly recommend working with her - you won’t regret it!

We cannot recommend Sara enough! She was absolutely fantastic throughout the entire process of selling our home and purchasing a new one. From the very beginning, she took the time to truly understand what we were looking for and made us feel supported every step of the way.

Sara is incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, patient, and genuinely cares about her clients. Buying and selling a home can feel overwhelming and intimidating, but Sara made the entire experience so much easier. We always felt confident knowing she had our best interests at heart.

We are so grateful for everything she did for us and will absolutely be working with her again in the future. If you’re looking for a realtor who is not only exceptional at what she does but also truly invested in finding the best outcome for her clients, Sara is the one!

Sara is the best! My family and I loved working with her and we're so grateful we had her in our corner while looking for a home. Since we weren’t living in the area, it was important to find someone who really understood what we needed and could help us navigate everything from afar. Sara was sweet, honest, and professional, and her knowledge of the market helped us move quickly and put together an offer that helped us win an incredible home. I'd absolutely recommend Sara to anyone looking to buy a home!

Sara helped us sell our house recently and we're so thrilled we ended up using her. She is incredibly knowledgable, a great communicator, and just a lovely human. She and her team did an amazing job with our sale and the house sold in a weekend for more than we expected.

As a first-time homebuyer, I couldn’t have asked for a better relator than Amy Paternite. From start to finish, Amy was an incredible resource—walking me through every step of the process with knowledge, patience when answering all my questions, and professionalism. Her expertise was invaluable, from helping me find the right home to navigating the financial details, handling paperwork, coordinating the inspection, and ultimately, going into the closing with confidence. I highly recommend Amy and her team to anyone looking to purchase a home.
