What clients say about this agent....
Sara was an absolute godsend of a realtor. I had an extremely stressful moving coming up. I was going to have to buy a house from the other side of the country and even other side of the world at times for work. She scheduled video walkthroughs and gave some insightful information as I have not lived in the city for some time now. When it came times to make an offer it was very well calculated and with trust we agreed it was going to be the right one. Her team was always there to answer questions and give me assistance with everything including securing the mortgage. I was interested in a property and randomly assigned a an agent through Zillow. I got the luck of the draw for sure. I will be using her in the future! Thanks Sara!
We absolutely loved working with Laughlin! Buying out of state is always a hard process and having someone we trusted during this process was a must. Laughlin went above and beyond and her hard work is how we were able to win on our dream home in a multiple offer situation! If you are looking for a great realtor Laughlin is the best choice.
Sara was amazing to work with. Our family started our real estate search from out of state. Sara toured the home, sent us video, researched the area, and gave us all the pluses and minuses. She was on hand during the inspection period. Gave us great referrals to sources necessary. She always responded quickly with either a phone call or a text. Sara also advocated for us during the negotiation process. She is an exceptional realtor who we highly recommend whether you are relocating from across the country or across town.
Sara is incredible! She was patient, kind and knowledgeable throughout my home buying journey. She built targeted search parameters to help narrow down homes that were perfect for the area I wanted to be in and that fit within my budget. She helped connect me with a great lender who was communicative and made the entire process a smooth one start to finish. Negotiating an offer that is favorable for all parties is challenging and who you work with matters, and I would highly recommend her!
Sara was the best choice we could have made in our home buying journey. She was very responsive and always available to answer my many questions. She was very attentive to what we were looking for in a home and helped us to find the best options She made the home buying process as smooth as possible and in the end negotiated a great deal for us. 10/10 stars.
Sara went above and beyond during our selling process, she handled any and all obstacles like a champ and had solutions to issues without even missing a beat. At no point in the process was I confused or unsure of what was happening due to her amazing communication skills. Could not recommend her enough.
The amount of gratitude I have for Sara, and Adnana as her director of operations, is difficult to fully express in words. Purchasing a home, especially a first home, is a massive and exciting milestone. The flip side is that it also comes with a distinct amount of stress, even in the most ideal and prepared circumstances. My situation as a buyer was a little unique aEUR" I was a friend buying with a friend, and the perfect place for us came on the market about 10 months before my ideal financial timeline to move forward with something. While there was a pathway for us to make a viable offer, it hinged on factors that I did not control. We needed some closing costs covered by the seller, and we had no ability to cover a gap in the appraised value, so we needed it to appraise at the purchase price. Sara had an hour-long conversation with me going back and forth on the offer we wanted to write, and then the waiting began. Our counteroffer came in on Mothers Day. I was at a restaurant with my own mom, and Sara was celebrating with her family in St. Augustine. She still called me immediately, and we decided to accept. She wasted not even a minute contacting a team member to send out the document for e-signature, and I got to finalize the offer for my first home in front of my mom. The next morning, I was immediately greeted by the most detailed and personable email from Adnana about what the process was going to look like for us. I was expecting an email on a timeline, but to have each step thoroughly explained and have additional recommendations for inspection companies and a trusted insurance broker is above and beyond. That level of care and detail went into every single task that Adnana took on for us in this process, leading up to a surprise visit at the closing to congratulate us. Before we could close, we hit a few hurdles given the factors our situation relied on. The inspection came back with a couple of items that needed immediate attention, and Sara spent 2 hours on the phone with me game planning the repairs to request on the RRTA. That hurdle got cleared due to follow up negotiations which Sara handled expertly. Then the appraisal came back. To everyones shock, it ended up valued at 13k less than what the house was listed at and similar homes in the neighborhood recently sold for. At this point, I thought there was no way we could get into the house. We certainly couldnt cover the gap, and we couldnt opt for less seller paid closing costs to try and negotiate meeting in the middle, because we needed those too. I mentally prepared myself to walk away and try again in 10 months, hoping that a similar home would be available at that time. A few days went by, and then Sara told me she had some news. She got the price dropped $13,000 to meet the appraised value, gave up none of the seller concessions from our original agreement, and had secured us an additional year of the home warranty held by the seller. I'm not sure there are many realtors that could have come back with that same result, another way that Sara separates herself from the pack. I write this review from my office in my new house, and Sara still checks in. My friend is downstairs babysitting the son of the 3rd friend we moved into the house with us. They are singing musicals, his mom was able to go to work without finding childcare, and I can take breaks during my workday by taking a few steps to my balcony overlooking beautiful trees with visits from cardinals and blue jays. Grateful doesnt even begin to cover it. Thank you endlessly to Sara and her team for making this our new reality. If you want someone who will fight for your dream even harder than you, this is the woman to call.
We had the pleasure and advantage of having Mike and his team help us buy a new home and sell our previous one. This team is so impressive. They were so knowledgeable, responsive, and helpful. Mike would have almost daily calls with us even while he was overseas. Adnana was incredibly quick to respond and provide proactive assistance with so many details. They dont just list and show properties. I cant recommend them enough.
I dont even know where to begin. Sara was one of the sweetest people I have ever met. She is very kind and down to earth. I had two different people refer her to me so I knew I had to jump on the opportunity to use her. I asked about a question for negatiations and she pulled her laptop out at her Mothers Day dinner when it could have waited till the next day because she was so on top of things. She saved us over 13k and advocated for us for all our needs! I'm so happy with my decision!
My boyfriend and I had the pleasure of working with Karen Saez as our realtor for the purchase of our new build home in the Entrada community in St. Augustine, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the experience. Right from our initial buyers consultation, Karen impressed us with her preparedness and ability to align our preferences with available options. It was love at first sight when she introduced us to the new build site in St. Augustine. Throughout the entire process, which started in June to our closing at the end of October, Karen's consistent updates and the progress pictures she shared as our house was being built truly set her apart. Her professionalism and dedication to making our home-buying journey as smooth and enjoyable as possible are commendable. I wholeheartedly recommend Karen Saez to anyone in need of a realtor who goes above and beyond in providing exceptional service. Thank you, Karen, for helping us find our dream home!
