Hey there, nice to meet you!
I'm Sarah, and I'm committed to making your home journey better.
When I first became a realtor, I realized how complex and stressful the process can be for many homeowners. That inspired me to do things differently — to be the kind of agent who provides a smooth, rewarding, safe, and even enjoyable experience for my clients.
With 15 years of experience in the real estate industry, my background is built on education and hands-on experience in appraisal, finance, construction, and real estate investing. Combined with years of building trusted relationships and resources throughout San Diego, I’m able to anticipate challenges, solve problems efficiently and cost-effectively, and create strategic solutions designed for the highest likelihood of success.
I specialize in identifying which renovations build equity, providing strategic guidance, trusted resources, psychology-based marketing, and tactful negotiation — always backed by a customized plan built around your specific needs. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions or simply listing a home and waiting for something to happen. My approach is proactive, intentional, and hands-on from start to finish.
Above all, I'm here to protect your best interests at every turn and make the entire process as smooth and stress-free as possible.
Backed by the Real Estate Pro Team — 30+ team members, 100+ transactions annually, and over $125 million in sales.
Over 300+ homes renovated, sold, or flipped throughout San Diego County.

Testimonials

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!

I’ve decided to sell my house and buy simultaneously another house out of the area. I needed to sell quick. This was a god-send.

The process painless and the property was sold “as is” avoiding numerous fees. Even the closing procedure was fast and consisted of on-line signing of documents.

I LOVED working with Bethany and Sarah on the recent sale of our house. They were exceptional from start to finish. They made the escrow process super easy, and explained what to expect along the way. They went above and beyond to provide additional knowledge, resources, and vendors throughout the process. Not only that, I felt like we were very protected by them when an issue would arise. They absolutely had our best interest at heart for every decision that needed to be made. We're definitely going to work with them again and would recommend them to anyone looking for Real Estate Professionals. - Julie R. Scripps Ranch, San Diego

I have had the pleasure of working with Sarah on multiple occasions, most recently on a purchase of a home in Oceanside. Throughout the transaction Sarah was there to help every step of the way. She answered every email and text regardless of the time... day or night! (I can be needy ??) But seriously, this little lady is one hard worker. I can't say enough about how much I respect and appreciate her. I look forward to working with her again in the near future.

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!

This was my first time working with Sarah and she made the buying process really easy. She made me feel like I was her only customer even taking her time on multiple weekend to show houses. Anytime I had a question she broke it down so that I could understand and when it came time to purchase she always made me aware of my options. Definitely will be returning to her when I decide to relocate again.
