Sara has great experience in the market. She did the best market analysis of any of the agents we considered. Her in home marketing presentation/brochures were excellent. We also felt her knowledge of the market aided in selling our home quickly. Sara also has a thorough understanding of ERC procedures, and the relocation process as Crown practices it. – S. Lax, Las Vegas, NV

Thank you for helping us conclude the sale of our Oak Brook home.Let's review what that included:- A clear understanding of the target market. You predicted with uncanny accuracy the profile of our eventual buyer.- An expensive, effective, and steadfast marketing program that was flexible enough to allow for suggestions from us….fine-tuning by you…and encompassed what we believe were key communication vehicles, including the Internet, the Chicago Tribune, Harmon Homes, and numerous area publications.- Weekly communication that always kept us "in the loop" and day and night phone call responsiveness.- In-depth guidance and counsel on the proper staging of our property, pricing, and timely feedback on both prospect comments and the ever-fluctuating market conditions.- Your prompt return of phone calls…your follow-up after all showings…and yes, your "hand-holding" when we grew impatient. The stock market was undergoing wild gyrations and it was not and ideal time to be selling. Yet you prevailed. Thanks Again! – E. & K. – St. Charles, IL

Sara was on hand-providing exceptional guidance, recommendations and expertise. She returned our calls quickly. If she did not have the answer to our question immediately, she would shortly. We can't imagine a realtor more conscientious and experienced than Sara. She led us through the entire process with wisdom and grace. In the end, she became more like a friend than a business relation.Sara also guided us in purchasing our new home. We now live in a townhouse that not only meets our requirements, but exceeds it. -P&F- Lisle, IL

As the administrator of Sharon Hogan's estate, I was very pleased that the sale could be accomplished within a relatively short period of time at a fair price. I appreciate all that you did to keep the sale on track particularly during those times it appeared to be slipping away.My thanks to you for all the assistance you gave me in accomplishing the repairs to the house. It is extremely difficult to get things done long distance so was very pleased to be able to call on you for help. I had been told by more than one person that you were the best Realtor in the area. I don't know the area or the people but I do know that you are extremely good at what you do. Thanks! – D. W. - Arizona

Thank you for all your help! Your advice in getting the house ready for sale was helpful, the house was sold quickly and well within our price expectation and there were no hitches to closing. You were very available and thorough in your follow up. We always felt good to have a friend like you looking out for our interest and would obviously heartily recommend your name to others. - Pawan & Uma – St. Louis

During my business career I have worked with many sales managers, hundreds of sales representatives and made thousands of sales calls. I have also had reason to relocate six times and deal with the frustrations of buying and selling a home.I mentioned the business background because I don't think it's sufficient to say that you have done the best job of any realtor with whom I have ever worked. Your professionalism, energy, enthusiasm, optimism colored by realism and practical business judgment take you out of just the Realtor category and put you in the category of one of the best sales and marketing professionals I have had the pleasure to do business with over the years.I thank you for your help and wish you continued success. As I mentioned to you, please feel free to refer anyone to me who might ask questions about your suitability as the listing agent. - H.G. - New Jersey
