“Sarah is a warm and wonderful human who helped us find the perfect house for us as first-time buyers. It's in a neighborhood we really love that hadn't even been on our radar. We had what we thought was the impossible dream of having a dance and yoga studio separate from the house on the property. She found it for us! Even with our modest budget. She was always prompt, informative and patient in replies to our questions and concerns. Very highly recommended.”
-Jon and Doug, Rainier Beach
“Sarah is a SUPERHERO! Faced with selling my house in one of the craziest markets, Sarah was the picture of graceful poise from the word go. From hand-holding during our lightening-fast purchase to coordinating contractors, cleaners, landscapers and stagers for our sale, Sarah never let us down. She is not only capable and knowledgeable, she is funny, supportive and simply a joy to be around. Wonder Woman watch out!”
-Brittany, Magnolia
“Sarah is very knowledgeable and gave me frank advice on the realities of the current housing market. Still she never let me get discouraged and give up. Because of Sarah’s connections and hard work I was able to find a home I love. She also went above and beyond to go over my inspection report page by page with me and has a large network of trusted professionals that can help you out with all aspects of home ownership. Cannot recommend her enough!”
-LaRee, West Seattle
“Sarah sold our house in Mt. Baker. The house presented some challenges... a recent windstorm took out our fencing, a pre-sale inspection unearthed some foundation issues and other "surprises". Sarah's years of experience proved invaluable. With an eye to keep expenses in check, she leveraged her contacts to quickly to prepare our property for sale in a very short period of time. What a relief to have a consummate professional in charge!
-Helen and Kathleen, Mount Baker
“Sarah not only helped us to find the home we love within the budget we had, she also thoroughly negotiated with the seller so that our move was free of anxiety and surprise.
She does more than show you homes and prepare contracts, Sarah helps you explore your dreams and guides you through the realities of your future possibilities. Also, she laughs a lot and smells pretty.”
-Ian & Andrew, Columbia City
“Sarah is professional, responsive, dedicated, and super sharp. It's icing on the cake that she is also a complete joy to work with -- hilarious and fun. We were relocating from out of state and Sarah held our hand through the entire process. She knows so much about West Seattle - even block by block details - and patiently helped us narrow our search to what we were truly looking for. Ultimately Sarah got us into the home of our dreams, one that we didn't originally think we could get, in a neighborhood that was off our radar until she introduced it to us and we fell in love. Highly recommended!”
-Anne and Andrew R.
“Sarah was both our selling and buying agent. We accepted an offer over asking price on our place AND found our dream home in record time thanks to the amazing Ms. Rudinoff.
She was on top of it every step of the way- from figuring out just the right listing price, to creating marketing materials, advising us on staging (ok, you were right about that “simple-human” trash can…), to closing the deal. Not to mention her care and thoughtfulness in finding us just the right new home.
Plus, we laughed the whole time.”
-David and Joe, Capitol Hill
“Sarah knew what I wanted better than I did. She found me the perfect house, negotiated a good price, turned the whole thing around in less than a month. As a plus, Sarah is such fun to work with. I wish I needed another house!”
-KC, Greenwood
“Sarah is an extremely professional and very reliable real estate agent. Every step of the way, she made sure we understood our options and took care to see that our concerns were being addressed. She is very resourceful, personable, and a joy to work with. We would recommend her with the highest confidence.”
-Sunil & Tapoja, University District
“Sarah is FANTASTIC! She helped us sell our condo two years ago and showed us so many places to buy when the market was going bonkers. She was patient and kind until we found the perfect home. Sarah knows so much about the neighborhood, she was able to give us the full rundown on what is happening nearby. She also took the time to call other realtors to find out what is happening on nearby lots for sale so we could make a decision with all the necessary information. She has an amazing network of contractors for every household need from cleaners to movers to construction to get you ready to sell or fix-ups post-purchase.”
-Lynn and Brandon, West Seattle
“Sarah is the best! We worked with her when we bought the house, and went back to her when we decided to sell. She went above and beyond throughout the entire process, helping us immensely with every aspect of selling our home. Her energy and knowledge seemed endless. From helping to choose the flooring for the basement to making sure the staging was just right- she is who you want in your corner, whether you're buying or selling.”
-Hannah and Dan, West Seattle
“After acquiring 7 condominium units from the original developer, we hired Sarah to advise on the best strategy for selling the units. She handled the whole process of hiring the professionals to prepare the units for sale and used incredibly good staging. We achieved a substantial return on investment due in large part to Sarah's efforts. I would highly recommend Sarah- she truly knows how to get things done!
-Kent, Highland Park
“I interviewed four agents to help me sell my house and I selected Sarah because she was well-prepared for our initial meeting, impressed me with her knowledge of the Seattle market and came with great references. I made the right choice because the entire experience working her was fantastic and I am extremely satisfied with outcome! Sarah’s demeanor is calm, confident, friendly and respectful, and she is also very down to earth which makes working with her a pleasure. I would recommend Sarah to anyone who needs real estate help without hesitation. She is a top-notch professional and also a just a really nice person!”
-Mike and Mary Kay, Ravenna
“Sarah is *unbelievable*. After only a few months, she was able to find a house for us in our price range, in our desired neighborhood-a real unicorn. She was so supportive as we worried throughout the process, and her professionalism and expertise was incredibly easy to see, immediately. She continues to offer us recommendations for excellent tradespeople as we bring our old house back to life. (Shout-out to Igor for our new awesome roof.) We truly wouldn't have been able to get this house without her. She is just awesome, and an awesome professional. (We are her biggest fans.)”
-Jeremy and Jenna, Haller Lake
“Sarah was a joy to work with. She answered all our questions and advised us on all details of selling a home. She practically held our hands throughout the sell process. Sarah was awesome and very patient with us since it was our first time selling a home. She went above and beyond to make the selling process easy and explained all the details of selling a home. She did a great job marketing the home and she was very creative with virtual opens houses because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Sarah is now our resident real estate agent. We will be using her again and again.”
-Farayi, Shoreline
“Sarah is a terrific Realtor-knowledgeable, thoughtful, accessible and personable. She's extremely skilled at asking the right questions to understand what it is you're looking for, and narrowing the field to find you the house of your dreams. Her depth of knowledge is an asset, and she shares the benefit of her expertise to get you situated in the best of ways. Her advice helped me submit the winning bid, in a field of fourteen other candidates, and she explained every factor and consideration in guiding me through the process.
Plus, she's a ton of fun.
You can't go wrong with Sarah Rudinoff as your realtor. She will always be the first person I turn to in the future.”
-Suzanne, Phinney Ridge
“Sarah Rudinoff is a terrific realtor. I really lucked out in getting her help to buy my first home. She has years of experience, and she lives in the area, so she knows the market really well and helped me understand my options. Sarah knows everyone, from mortgage agents to other realtors and expert contractors, she brought an entire community of connections to get me into my awesome new house.
I was warned to beware of Realtors trying to get me into a home that was out of my budget, but I never felt that way with Sarah, and always felt she was on my side and interested in my goals. She was very responsive and answered all my questions in quick time (sometimes the same question a few times). Sarah is also hilarious and fun to be around! I highly recommend her realty services!”
-Derek, Burien
“Working with Sarah took the stress out of home buying. She helped us see the big picture, kept us grounded when we needed to be, and celebrated when we found exactly what we had hoped for.
Her depth of experience and knowledge of the Seattle housing market are tremendous. Sarah had us prepared for each step of the process. She knew when to push for us and her instincts saved us money and made us feel comfortable negotiating.
She was the Fairy Godmother of our home buying fairytale and now we get to live happily ever after in our Dream House.”
-Erin and Jeff, Lake Forest Park
“Sarah Rudinoff is an incredibly intuitive and knowledgeable agent. She listened carefully as we tried to articulate what we were looking for in our first house. She offered advice, humor, and expertise to the process, and helped us find the home exactly suited to our needs. She worked her butt off for us, she was able to point out things we’d never have thought of, and she answered any and every question we threw her way. And not just Sarah, but every person we’ve found through Sarah (mortgage broker, electrician, flooring guy…) has been just as fantastic. She surrounds herself with good people who do good work. We would recommend Sarah to anyone buying a home.”
-Alycia and LB, Beacon Hill
Sarah is *unbelievable*. After only a few months, she was able to find a house for us in our price range, in our our desired neighborhood-a real unicorn. She was so supportive as we worried throughout the process, and her professionalism and expertise was incredibly easy to see, immediately. We got a great deal on a house we didn't think we'd be able to find, and she continue to offer us recommendations for excellent tradespeople as we bring our old house back to life. (Shout-out to Igor for our new awesome roof.) From welcoming us to the neighborhood to making clear that her dedication to being welcoming and supportive of all, we feel so lucky to have worked with her. We truly wouldn't have been able to get this house without her. She is just awesome, and an awesome professional. (We are her biggest fans.)”
-Jeremy and Jenna, Haller Lake
“Sarah understood how much we loved our co-op (she sold it to us!). We were selling from out of town, so she helped negotiate with our renter and connected us with workers who did fast, quality renovations and repairs. The final sale price was well in excess of asking, and opened new possibilities for us as we resettled our family in another hot real estate market, on the other side of the country. Working with Sarah gave us that feeling, so rare in business transactions these days, of being totally supported and taken care of. We would recommend her services without reservation.
-Tricia and Jason, Capitol Hill
“Sarah is the real deal, folks. She’s incredibly knowledgeable about real estate procedures, and we felt comfortable in her hands from day one. She understands the market very well, as well as local neighborhoods and price points. We were especially grateful to her for helping us get an edge on our offer at a competitive time. (She even wrote it for us the night before her long-scheduled vacation. That’s dedication!) The team she works with is also great … and it doesn’t hurt one bit that Sarah is absolutely warm, friendly, hilarious and toddler-tolerant. We recommend her highly!”
-Jason and Danielle, West Seattle
“I simply loved working with Sarah. Her professional guidance, kind language, flawless teamwork, active and empathetic listening, and sharp eyes made the selling process enjoyable. She was a great thinking partner, respectful and knowledgeable. Sarah coached and shielded me through some very tough unexpected challenges with elegance and made me feel safe. Beyond her expertise, I honestly think that her warm, authentic presence made a huge difference when it came to engaging potential buyers. I could always confidently trust that Sarah would represent me and my beloved condo well. I am so grateful I got to work with her.”
-Tae, Capitol Hill

“Sarah was a dream in selling my home.
There was a quick lead up time to the listing date with lots to do and even with the short time frame she was always steps ahead and quick on her feet when something unexpected would come up. There was such a high level of detail that went into every step of the process including the offer review with Sarah, which made it a lot easier to pick the right buyer. This was my first time selling a home and now live in another state and I don't know how anyone will be able to compare to Sarah in the future!”
-Candace, Ravenna
“Sarah has that very rare combination of consummate professionalism and cozy warm friendliness. Selling/buying homes can be one of the most stressful experiences we can go through. More so when you are doing it from afar. A mutual friend recommended Sarah and I was thrilled when she agreed to sell my home. She arranged every detail leading up to the sale, from getting great contractors to handle some repairs and landscaping, to the staging, to the open house, to the bidding and offer acceptance. I always knew I was in great hands and from the first moment trusted her judgement completely. I really can't imagine a better realtor or a more pleasant experience in selling a house, everything was smooth as silk. I am so grateful to her.”
