Bought and Sold with Sarah
I met Sarah at an open house in July 2018. She was friendly and professional and really listened to what I was looking for, even though I was pretty vague on location. Sarah found me the perfect house, in the perfect neighborhood. She submitted my offer and counteroffer, and expertly negotiated the not-insignificant repair contingencies. I was kept informed at all times, and she was always available to me. Sarah had an excellent list of contacts for inspections, bids and repairs, even moving companies, and made all the arrangements for the work to be done. They were all very professional, and did quality work for a reasonable price. Sarah also kept in touch with my lender and title company, keeping me informed of the progress at all times. The purchase closed in September 2018.
Working with Sarah was such a breeze I couldn't imagine listing my old house with anyone else. Sarah presented an in-depth evaluation and marketing plan, taking into consideration what I was hoping to get. Once again she arranged for a pre-sale inspection, coordinated all the repairs, and had the house professionally cleaned before the first open house. By the 3rd weekend I had accepted an offer for the price I was hoping to get. Sarah walked me through the sale with the same professionalism I experienced during my purchase.
Sarah was a delightful person to work with. She is professional, friendly, experienced, and always looked out for my best interests. She goes above and beyond. I have whole-heartedly recommended her to several people. -jagoeden

Sarah was an amazing realtor for us. She was responsive and attentive to our needs. She helped tremendously in our negotiations, was the voice of reason we needed throughout the process.

Sarah was really easy to work with. Her response to any question was really quick and if she did not know, she found out right away and got back to us. Sarah's knowledge of the Portland area was really impressive. She knew who to contact for all things related to housing, repair, and updating.
Sarah was able to contact the right people relating to mortgage questions and the logistics for making our bid really count. Besides all this she was fun to work with. -fpfiekert

Sarah is a wonderful agent. She helped us relocate from another state. She answered our many questions over the months and helped us hone in on the right neighborhood. She sent us many listings and organized showings when we came to town. She understood our needs, even as those needs kept changing. She truly went above and beyond for us. She is knowledgeable, responsive, generous and flexible. We would highly recommend Sarah to anyone buying a home. -srholland
First Time Homebuyer
Sarah is amazing, wonderful, honest, straightforward, and has the "it" for a realtor. My wife and I are first-time home buyers and started looking for our home at the beginning of the pandemic. She helped us understand the crazy changing market that was 2020 and 2021. She understood what we were looking for, gave suggestions, but never forced us in a different direction. She pointed out what we should be aware of as first-time home buyers and most importantly never gave up on us. It took almost a full year for us to close on a home and it was all because of her! We owe Sarah everything and are so happy with the home we are in. She is our FOREVER realtor and friend!
Sold with Sarah
Sarah Coakley did a superb job of selling our house at 721 SE 58th Avenue in Portland, OR, in
August 2021.
Sarah is a great communicator. She listened to our concerns and questions, informed us of the
steps involved in selling a house and kept us up to date as to what would happen, the order it
would happen and when it would happen. She was available throughout the entire process and
returned our calls promptly and responded to texts and emails.
Sarah is experienced and knowledgeable. She knew the market value of houses like ours in our
area and what needed to be done to put our house on the market so that we would receive the
maximum return on our investment. She also is well informed about the rules and regulations of
selling a house in the city of Portland, Multnomah county and the state of Oregon.
Sarah was confident of her ability to direct and guide us through the sale of our house. And she
is trustworthy. The things she recommended we do brought the desired results.
Sarah is personable. She has a warm, cheerful personality and is a pleasure to work with. She
understood our attachment to the house we'd lived in for 47 ½ years and did her best to prepare
us emotionally for the sale. We knew she was on our side. She was very helpful and went out of
her way to assist us throughout the entire transaction.
We highly recommend her as a real estate agent.
