Client Reviews

Sarah did the best job on selling our condo and helping us buy our dream house! She wasn't just our realtor she really made sure everything along the way went well from start to finish and was by our side through the entire process. She always responded to us whenever we has questions and always reassured us throughout the process that everything was going to work out and it did. She really takes care of her clients and she feels like a family member to us after the entire process. I could go on and on about how amazing she is at her job we love that we went with her and if we ever sell our house she will be the first person that we hire to help us !

My experience with Sarah Dettmann has been amazing! I give her 5 stars! Sarah has helped me with many projects! She sold my house and she found us a new house in a very timely manner! She is an expert at her job! She is the whole package deal! Sarah made me feel very comfortable because she’s great at communication and great at listening to what I have to say. She gives great advice and always steered us in the right direction. I highly recommend Sarah! She really knows her stuff! We have had a fabulous experience and we plan on using her again! Thank you so much Sarah!

Sarah was wonderful in every category! We were working with her remotely, and all went very smoothly. She sold our house for asking price, and negotiated to our advantage on the home we purchased. She is professional and sweet, yet firm in her dealings. We feel fortunate to have had her as our advocate! Thank you!
