Helpful Agent...

Our agent Sarah McGrath was amazing! She worked so hard for us and gave us a lot of her time. And she was so knowledgeable! We're very grateful. We're so happy about the house Sarah helped us find. We couldn't have asked for a more wonderful and helpful agent. She has a wealth of knowledge about the real estate market on the Eastside and the industry in general. She helped my wife and I find and close on our first home. She's got a warm personality that makes her fun and easy to work with. She also has a great work ethic, so you know she'll not only tirelessly hunt for that house you're looking for, but she'll also go to bat for you when it comes time to close the deal.

Great Results...

Sarah was the best real estate agent we could have asked for. She went above and beyond to meet our schedule needs, answer all our questions, and help us complete paperwork. She is extremely knowledgeable so she helped us make thoughtful decisions and look at all the different aspects we should be considering. Not to mention she made the process fun and less stressful.

High Integrity...

I cannot say enough about what a great experience I had with Sarah. I was trying to short sale my condo for almost a year, and for those that aren't familiar with a short sale it is a difficult process to say the least. Through countless offers, negotiations and endless paperwork Sarah was so motivated and professional, and it was evident she knew what she was doing every step along the way. Sarah made me feel like I was her only client and I am confident I would not have gotten through this process without her! Top qualities: Great Results, Expert, High Integrity.

Strong Knowledge...

Sarah is an excellent New Home Construction sales professional. She keeps up to date on market conditions, is well informed regarding her market area and maintains a professional presence on site. She represented our company and product well and I would recommend her for any sales position that requires a strong knowledge of the new home market and sales process.

-John Graves, Lozier

Always Communicative...

Sarah was easy to work with; always communicative and ready with more details when needed. She is focused on getting the result. Very pleasant, too!

-Diane Jones, Avanade

Above and Beyond...

My loan officer was not taking care of my documents, Sarah got involved and contacted all of the managers by email and phone. She went above and beyond to help me close on-time. I really thank her for all the hard work. I am very happy with all the work Sarah has done for me. She is a very friendly person and I would recommend her to all my friends and family.

- Anita Rahmani, Amazon

Professionally "on-the-ball"...

We heard about Sarah through our son's agent as someone reliable he'd worked with based in our area. When we first met, she immediately impressed us as knowledgeable, likable, and professionally "on-the-ball". Her review of comps was detailed and her awareness of our local market excellent. Once we decided to proceed, she made things quickly happen to stage our house, get home photos taken put online and into fliers, list our house, hold an open house, and within 9 days we had 2 offers. Though at one point the buyer's financing had problems and things looked very iffy, Sarah kept plugging away through her contacts and working with the other agent to see what could be done to keep things on track, and through regular consultations with us, and good negotiating skills though each twist and turn, eventually everything worked out and our place sold! We've already recommended Sarah to long-time friends, and are confident she'll help them sell as she helped us.

-Dale Eng, Author

Has a ton of passion...

Sarah is an incredibly gifted Agent! She has a ton of passion for her job and will help you find the perfect home for you! She was extremely responsive when we were looking for a home and helped us find the exact home we were looking for. She is very patient and has great negotiation skills. She also has great connections in the industry to make the entire process feel seamless. I highly recommend her as your Real Estate professional!

-Jesse Fader, ECC

The house we got wasn't even listed...

Sarah helped my wife and I get our home in WA and we were very happy with her. She did a great job on our house. The house we got wasn't even listed at the time and she managed to get us a good deal on it, we are very happy with what she did and I would recommend her to anyone! During the process she showed us home both within and outside of the price range we were looking at, and while we saw some great homes outside of our price range she did a good jbo fullfilling what we wanted and managed stay within our budget.

-Brad Jacula, Genie

She is very passionate...

Sarah McGrath is a great realtor to work with. She is very passionate about what she does, love for the industry and it shows. She is on top of things and gets the job done. If you like someone who is eager, hard working and likable, I would recommend her for the job.

-Tamara Lisk

Very pleased...

My husband and I were very please with how detailed she was with the process and her level knowledge. She was professional yet made us feel very comfortable through a stressful process. We really appreciate all the time she spent with us.

-Andree-Anne, Going Global Solutions

I can't think of another Realtor I would recommend above her...

When we started looking for a home, it was a time where there was not much inventory (as summer was winding down), however Sarah kept us motivated and positive. Our deal was complicated because we set a firm budget and couldn't go above it, even though most of what we saw that was realistic in meeting our needs was at least $30K above where we wanted to be.

We made a few offers that didn't get accepted and one day Sarah called us telling us about a place that wasn't on the market. She had call expired listings for us and convinced the sellers to show it to us and the rest, as they say, was history. Not to imply that we didn't have challenges during escrow and she fought to get the best result for us. We have instant equity in our home because of the excellent price she negotiated.

We would not be in our own if she hadn't taken the initiative for us in many ways, even beyond calling the expired listing. I can't think of another Realtor I would recommend above her. And, as a former Realtor myself, I think that means something...

Sarah made sure it happened...

I met Sarah in the fall of 2009 through a friend of mine whom Sarah worked with. She came highly recommended and I learned quickly why. On top of Sarah's extremely professional demeanor, she has the most fun, sunny, and friendly disposition of anyone I have ever met. She truly enjoys and loves her job and her clients. We clicked immediately and forged what I know will be a lifelong friendship. In the first couple of weeks of knowing Sarah, she made sure I knew that she would never let me buy a place that I did not love. This put me at ease, because I am not a fan of the "used-car selling" approach. I wanted someone to be just as sure of my purchase as I was, and Sarah fit the bill perfectly. That said, Sarah patiently looked at condos with me for over TWO years. She never once pressured me and she would not let me settle for something that I did not love. Once I found "the one", Sarah made sure it happened. And that day was no ordinary day - it was Thanksgiving Day 2011. Not only did she take me out to look at condos, she and I drove from Kirkland to her office in Renton to draw up the offer. This wonderful realtor spent a good portion of her holiday with me making sure that I could get my offer in and get the house I had always dreamed of. If that doesn't attest to the love she has for her job and clients, I don't know what would. Sarah is the only person I will refer to anyone who is looking for a realtor. I can't say enough nice things about her and her work ethic. She will be my one and only realtor for any home sale/purchase I go through for as long as she is in the real estate business!!!

Sarah is a tireless advocate for her clients...

Sarah was extremely helpful in our house search. We began our hunt feeling uncertain if there was even anything out there in our price range that we would want. In fact, we weren't even sure of our price range or IF we could afford a home. Sarah paired us up with brokers who ran numbers for us and walked us through the process and answered all the questions we had. She sent us all sorts of leads, encouraged us to look in neighborhoods we wouldn't have initially considered, provided us with insights into the process, gave suggestions in terms of negotiations which she was extremely knowledgeable. Even when we found the house we wanted, she insisted on looking at other houses in the area, to ensure that the house was priced right for the area/market, and to make sure we had ALL the knowledge we needed in order to feel comforable in making an offer. She helped us negotiate our offer, talked us through possibilities, was INCREDIBLY responsive, and made the house buying process fun. She was honest and I always felt confident that she had me and my husband's best interest at heart. I started the process curious about buying a house and not even sure if i was ready - I finished finding me and my husband's DREAM home which we are so thrilled to be in. Sarah goes the extra mile - she priced out appliances when we were looking at a house that needed a new kitchen, helped by mapping up a kitchen through IKEA's online create-a-kitchen, and offered to go wtih me to price out the new kitchen, as well as visited places to help us pick out flooring and understand what the overall additional costs would be. We didn't even end up going for that house that needed all the work, but the fact is, Sarah was there every step of the way, always one step ahead of things, and just a fantastic asset. Sarah was more than a real estate agent - she turned into a friend who I would recommend to EVERYONE i know. A friend of mine recommended me to her and i'm SO glad she did. In fact, i recommended her to a good friend of mine who was not having any luck in her house hunt and not satisfied with her real estate agent. Within 2 months, Sarah had found my friend THEIR dream house. Sarah is a tireless advocate for her clients. I couldn't be happier with the service Sarah provided.

-Kristee Bingham, Microsoft

Amazing throughout the whole process...

Sarah sold us our new home and she was amazing throughout the whole process! She had great expertise in the house, area surrounding the house, and she worked well with the listing agent. We truly couldn't be more pleased and we'll definitely be recommending Sarah to our friends and family in the future!

-Heidi Fader, Microsoft

I honestly felt as though she was purchasing a home for herself every step of the way...

Almost everything Sarah did for me was beyond my expectations. I honestly felt as though she was purchasing a home for herself every step of the way. She was completely on top of every step that needed to occur in order for me to purchase my home. From dealing with the lenders / escrow / HOA / Inspection. Absolute full service. There isn't a better broker out there. As you can tell, I am more than satisfied. Sarah has a friend and client in me and I will champion her services to others whenever I can.

-Scott Turpin, Expedia

Impressed with her work...

I have worked with Sarah for our first home purchase and really impressed with her work, I have been consistently impressed by both Sarah's attitude towards her work and her local real estate knowledge in Redmond. Her skills allowed her to develop strong working relationships with both seller and sellers agent. I recommend her for a any real estate needs without reservation.

-Satish Babu Krishnamoorthy, Intel

She is very precise...

Working with Sarah was a true pleasure!! It was only 3 months that I was looking for houses and I have found my home with the exact budget and layout I was looking for in my new home. She is very precise with the layout of the houses that she shows and also gave me a detailed explanation of home price.

-Priya Santhana Vannan, LWSD

Extremely accessible...

We couldn't have asked for a more competent, knowledgeable, and supportive real estate agent! Sarah is in a word, incredible. She was extremely accessible at all hours of the day and really dedicated so much of her time to making sure our first house buying experience was fun, informative, and as low stress as possible. You will not be disappointed if you have Sarah for your real estate agent. She is extremely professional and will connect you to her many resources if she doesn't know the answer to your questions (which is rare). She makes the process fun and she is extremely generous and personable to her clients. Thank you Sarah for everything!

Very reliable...

Sarah was very knowledgeable, detailed with her work. Sarah is very reliable and we appreciated her honesty. This was a long process and she remained ahead of it all for us.

-Jon Worcester, Sur la Table

Most efficient...

Sarah is not only our agent, but more as a friend, who gives us honest opinions and advice. On one hand, Sarah never gives us any pressure or assumes anything on our behalf; on the other hand, she understands our need so well that she could come up with the best recommendations and most efficient approaches during the house hunting process. We love her!

-Luyang Chen & Yilei Zhang, Expedia & Amazon
