“It was an absolute delight working with Sarah and Amy, they are thoughtful, prompt, and upbeat in a way that made me feel totally confident during the entire process of buying my condo. As a first-time home buyer I walked into the process a bit overwhelmed, but they always made the time to answer my questions and the process was so much better because I had people I trusted in my corner. I always felt like I could 100% rely on them, and am so grateful for their expertise and support. I still can't believe I ended up with such a lovely place to live- I'm completely in love with my new home, and I honestly recommend Sarah and Amy to everyone I can.”
Holly, North Seattle
“I recently listed and sold my house in Seattle with Sarah, and she was amazing throughout the whole process, as was her colleague Amy. I completely trusted Sarah's advice regarding all the things that needed to be done to prepare the house, and it really paid off. She provided various referrals to trades to help with the items I couldn't get to myself, even though it's hard to find skilled help at the moment. She put a lot of thought and research into finding comps, which were not easy for my particular house, and ultimately determined the perfect listing price. We met our listing date goal and had very well attended open houses and many showings resulting in multiple offers well over list price. I can't recommend Rudinoff Residential highly enough and I hope we can work together again.”
Christopher, Central District
“The moment we decided to buy rather than rent, we were inundated by recommendations from friends to introduce us to their agent. We interviewed 3 of these and chose Sarah. We looked at 7 places the day before Thanksgiving 2021, and put an offer on the 2nd to last one we saw - the whole process was very serendipitous. Sarah made the offer/appraisal/closing experience - which could've been VERY OVERWHELMING - extremely navigable for us middle-aged, first-time homebuyers. She was very helpful explaining things in layperson's terms at each step of the process, and giving us tips for how to handle things, talk to various different service providers and what we might need to do in terms of home maintenance down the line. Now we've been in our sweet little place for nearly a year and feel extremely lucky and blessed to be here and in this wonderfully diverse neighborhood. Sarah was a HUGE part of that!”
Carolyn and Ian, Hillman City
““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, West Seattle
“My partner and I were first-time buyers and very intimidated by the process before we met Sarah. She came highly recommended by friends and we'll now recommend her to everyone else we know who is looking! We were pretty limited in terms of budget but despite that and despite her undoubtedly busy schedule, Sarah always treated us like a priority and never made us feel rushed or pressured. She was super responsive to our many questions and emails, including helping us out with a utility bill issue a few months after we closed on our new home. It's clear she has a solid network within the industry and knows the best people to work with. Thank you so much Sarah!”
-Reilly and Nikson, Shoreline
“Sarah was recommended to us by our friends, who were recommended by their friends and since closing on our house we have alert recommended her to a few people. Which is a roundabout way of saying, SHE’S AMAZING!!! Seriously, she is so knowledgeable and on top of it, she guided us through the process every step of the way. She took care of things we didn’t even think of, like advising us to get a sewer scope and going straight to the listing agent to have the sellers pay for it. Never once did I feel like it was about the commission for Sarah, she genuinely wanted us to get a great house, at a great value, and with total piece of mind. Thank you so much for everything Sarah!!!”
-Ashley and Matt, West Seattle
“My wife and I call Sarah the “house whisperer” because she has an incredible sixth sense for all things related to buying and selling a home. We are so thankful to have been lucky enough to buy and sell our first family home with Sarah. She’s an expert—she has a deep understanding of the market and can quickly detect the pros and cons of a property. Sarah is incredibly communicative, accessible, and goes above and beyond while navigating what can be a highly emotional process. She’s the person you want on your team—an advocate for you, a translator of complex information, positive, and resilient. Seriously, she’s a rare unicorn in this industry! Her thoughtful attention to every little detail truly calmed our nerves throughout the ups and downs of selling our house, and her straight-shooter honesty and advice comes wrapped in kindness and empathy. She expertly sold our West Seattle home during a pandemic, bridge closure, and massive roadwork project! We are proud to call her a friend and forever thankful for her talents.”
-Kim and Reanna, West Seattle
“Sarah is the GOAT of Seattle real estate. We've used her both as buyers and as sellers multiple times and each time she has gotten us amazing prices either for our homes or in purchasing a new home, and has guided us through the process step-by-step. Her negotiation skills are awesome, she has an eye for staging and what will make your home standout, and she's just an all-around cool lady, which makes the whole transaction as easy as it can be. I recommend her to any of my friends looking for agents.”
Kristin and Joe, West Seattle
“Sarah sold our house in Mt. Baker. The house presented some challenges. With an eye to our need to keep expenses in check, Sarah was able to leverage her contacts to quickly and efficiently 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, Mt. Baker
“I have worked with Sarah three times and cannot imagine a home sale or purchase without her. She first helped me navigate the Seattle real estate market when it was at its most recent frenzy in 2016. It was my first attempt at home ownership and she achieved the impossible, helping me buy the first home I made an offer on with her after I had made 9+ failed offers over the past year with a different agent. When it came time for me to sell my townhouse and purchase a single-family home in 2020, amidst a pandemic, I had the utmost confidence that Sarah would know exactly how to navigate this new and uncharted market.
She successfully listed the house, which sold within 6 days, and negotiated a favorable, free rent-back option that would allow me to stay in the townhouse while searching for a single-family home to live in. Fortunately, I found a new home within the next 7 days and she crafted the perfect offer that the seller selected without us having to escalate to our top offer.
Sarah has an immense knowledge of the Seattle market, knows what buyers and sellers are looking for, has exceptional negotiating skills, is an excellent communicator, and, on a personal level, is a really fun person to look at houses with! Sarah is a gem of a human and an exceptional agent/broker.
There is no one else I would work with as my agent/broker, ever. Highly, highly recommend.”
-Elisa and Erin, Magnolia
“I can't recommend Sarah highly enough.We trusted her at every stage of the process, and she did not disappoint. She kept us from overpaying in a bidding war on two other properties, and we ended up finding a home that was a lot better for less money. We thank our lucky stars every day that we had someone as good as Sarah guiding us through the process and advising us on all the details. Sarah is the best.”
-John and Laura, Magnolia
“We have been so lucky to have Sarah in our corner. She helped us buy our first home when we barely knew what that entailed. Ten years later, we were wowed by her expertise putting that home on the market and helping us find the perfect home for our next phase. Heading back into the market, I knew she was the one to help us buy a house. But boy-oh-boy is she the right person to help you sell a house. She knows the market and will price your house just right. She also knows how best to make it shine and will link you to the painters, electricians, etc that you need along the way. I would recommend her without hesitation!”
Frank and Michelle, Wedgwood
“Sarah and Amy were an absolute dream to work with. We worked with them on selling our condo and purchasing our (first) house and could not have asked for a better team. We had endless questions, a tight budget, and little knowledge of the journey we were undertaking, but Sarah and Amy met us at every step and guided us with care and expertise. They helped us to navigate difficult personalities at our condo, complex negotiations for the purchase of our house (and got us a new roof!), all while making us feel at ease. They made an often-confusing experience feel approachable and were invested in transparency.
They made sure we did not settle for less than what we deserved and made shopping a joy. They are the perfect balance of knowledge, empathy, and drive. I can't imagine this process with anyone else.”
-Megan and Shawn, Tukwila
“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. I always knew I was in great hands and from the first moment trusted her judgment 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.”
-Wendy, Columbia City
“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. She was also really in our corner when it came to dealing with the bank. Very highly recommended.”
