“I went with Sarah because I had heard that she is an all star negotiator, and an all around amazing realtor. Having worked with many realtors in the past, through many real estate transactions in multiple states, I have dealt with realtors that span the spectrum in terms of skills and service. Most realtors posses great skill sets, but Sarah posses all the skills a great realtor needs.
To summarize Sarah, she is a closer. She fully succeeded in getting me to the finish line with a sales process that encountered all kinds of difficult obstacles. There is no way I would have closed on this property with another realtor, this was a super complex transaction that Sarah navigated expertly.
Throughout the entire process Sarah efficiently utilized her polished tool kit. Three qualities that shined through the greatest:
*Amazing negotiation skills *Charisma that allowed her to connect with all parties involved *Diligent and super fast worker...I never felt like she was working with anyone else during the entire process, I had her full attention, and when I needed her help she was a text away, day or night.
I can go on and on, but instead I’ll just say if you truly want to get a property, and not lose out on getting what you desire in this competitive market, I would highly recommend you work with Sarah.”

“If you’re looking for a home in the East Bay Hills, Sarah Schisler is the gal for you! An East Bay native, Sarah has built a thriving realty business through the boom/bust/boom real estate markets of the last 15 years, and her experience and expertise shines through in every aspect of what she does.
She was patient and honest as we looked for just the right home, always being straight with us regarding concerns or issues with a home, while being supportive of our particularly desire.
When we did find a home, she leveraged her local experience and relationships to get the information needed to make an informed offer and go into contract less than 24 hours after we’d looked at the home.
She managed the extended closing process and our complicated financing deftly, and kept us well informed all along the way. And through it all, she had a smile and kind geniality that makes her a pleasure to work with!
Give her a ring, and you won’t be sorry!”

“I’m from Los Angeles and my husband and I were lucky enough to find Sarah to help us buy our first home together in Oakland. The first unit we purchased was a TIC in a prime location close to Lake Merritt. TIC’s are complicated transactions and Sarah was extremely patient about walking us through the process and staying on top of all of the details. We kept in touch with Sarah over the years and she offered advice on what was worth upgrading or not as we updated the unit. 7 years later, our family outgrew our home, so it was time to sell and Sarah was there to help us through that process as well. She also just recently helped us purchase a larger home for our family. She is extremely knowledgable about the neighborhoods in Oakland, patient and has a wonderful demeanor. She is very responsive and flexible. We highly recommend her!”

“Sarah was born to be a realtor. She is amazing with people and knows the ins and outs of the real estate game and frankly makes it all seem effortless. Don’t get me wrong, she worked her butt off for me.
She helped me identify a investment property, submit a winning bid and the navigated my contract thought the short sale process. Every time there was a twist or bump on the road, she had an answer and was one step ahead of the game.
She also lined me up with a mortgage broker (Jon) who performed magic to make the deal happen.
Thank you Sarah, I love my new property. I could not have done it without you!”

“Sarah was my agent for the purchase of approximately 15 investment properties (houses and condos) from 2008-2011. These were both REO and regular market transactions. She represented some of my business partners for their purchases as well. She is personable, knowledgeable, aggressive when the situation calls for it, and knows how to close transactions when things start to fall apart. I’ve worked with a lot of agents. Sarah is the only agent I consistently refer people to for both purchases and sales. I give her my highest recommendation. She is a true professional.”

“Sarah gives the gift of independence. She did cartwheels helping me get into my first home as a single woman just starting out and then more recently represented me as a seller. When I worked with her as a buyer, I purchased the house under asking price yet as my seller’s agent she sold the house over asking. She’s saavy, accomplished and genuinely kind to boot. The real deal.”

“Sarah went above and beyond to assist with the purchase of our home. She was very efficient in getting us into contract in a multiple offer situation. Would have never known she was based out of Oakland with how easily she worked with us on finding a home in San Ramon. Couldn’t have asked for a more dedicated realtor!”

“I was moving to Oakland from NYC and was so lucky to have found Sarah. She was referred through friends here. Sarah helped me understand the different neighborhoods, the offer process here (very very different from the east coast), and helped with every aspect of financing. Since then, Sarah has continued to be a reliable source of recommendations for contractors and all other good things Oakland. When friends are planning to buy or sell, I always recommend Sarah.”

“Sarah did an amazing job - above and beyond what you would expect a realtor to do. We had a very short timeline to get our house listed to take advantage of the summer market and were already in contract on another home so had some specific financial goals regarding the sales price.
Sarah advised us on how to prep our home for sale, what things to spend money on and where not to bother, organized contractors and inspections for us when we needed them (she knows someone for anything you could possibly need across different budgets, has backups in case of schedule conflicts, and was even able to meet them when we couldn’t get away from work). She gave us awesome advice on how to price our home appropriately for the market, we came home to stacks and stacks of realtor cards indicating it had great exposure in terms of showings, our neighbors confirmed how busy the open houses were, and we received multiple offers within our desired sales price range (exactly as she had expected). And she helped us manage the interactions with the buyers agent & escrow company - we never had to deal with anything directly - she really just took care of stuff and told us where to be and what to sign when it mattered.
Sarah really knows the Oakland market - helped us as buyers years ago and as sellers this time, we couldn’t be happier with the results. And bonus - she’s the kind of person you want to have a celebratory glass of wine with when it all works out the way you hoped, too! I would recommend her to other buyers and sellers without hesitation. ”

“It was easy to work with Sarah when we bought our house. In a market that is demanding and not easy to navigate, she helped find the house in the right place at the right price. GREAT experience.”
