“Sarah was great to work with! She has a lot of knowledge about the Des Moines suburbs, always communicated well & answered any questions we had along the way. We appreciated how she was able to see both the current state and future potential of houses that we looked at, while always giving us her full attention. She also quickly picked up on things we liked and didn’t like about the houses toured. We would highly recommend Sarah!“
Communication
In Real Estate, communication is key to successful transactions and building relationships. I pride myself on being available to my clients on their schedule so that they don’t miss out on any opportunities presented to them (buying, selling or investing). I make sure that I know my clients preferred communication method so that we are able to communicate as quickly and effectively as possible.
Ready to get started?
I offer free, no-obligation consultations for both buyers and sellers who want to learn more about the process. I’d love the opportunity to connect with you, discuss your goals, and see if we’d be the perfect fit to work together. Reach out today to schedule a meeting!
Technology that works in your favor
Today’s market is moving faster than ever. I use the latest technology to streamline your experience.
Showingtime is a great tool for both buyers or sellers. For sellers, it allows us to keep track and schedule buyers to look at our listings and it also gathers feedback from those buyers/agents to allow us to better position ourselves within the market. For buyers, it allows us to schedule multiple showings at once, giving us real time updates of those properties and also allows us to give our feedback/interest to those sellers we are working with.
I utilize Dot Loop on an everyday basis for all of my clients. Dot Loop allows us to write offers, update paperwork and/or list properties from anywhere at any time. It also allows clients to view, sign and save those documents from their own computers.
