Sarah was so helpful for me in the crazy process of purchasing a home. I am a young first time home buyer, so there were a lot of unknown factors. Sarah was a real advocate for me throughout it all, and for that I am extremely grateful! She was supportive, prompt, communicative, and clearly went out of her way to get me into my perfect house. No way I could have done it without her help!
I cannot thank Sarah enough for working with us through this whole process. After being a life-long renter, I was finally ready to take the plunge but there were several challenges – the pandemic, a ridiculously hot real estate market, a limited budget but specific needs, a wide area in which we were looking (from Olympia out west to Aberdeen and south to Centralia, Chehalis and beyond), and doing so from way over in Wenatchee. Sarah was the perfect agent for us. She patiently showed us numerous homes throughout our wide search area, including some I am sorry to have sent her into. She was always there for advice but never tried to push us into or out of a decision. She would point out things to consider and let us decide. After all the houses we looked at and four offers on houses that were close but not quite enough, she really came though with getting us into the house that really was the best of anything we looked at. Throughout it all she always said, “Trust the process and you will get the house you were meant to have in the end.” I doubted that line all along, but I must admit that is exactly how things turned out. Sarah built enough trust that we made the offer on our new home solely on her video walkthrough and advice, without having physically been to it. When we came over for the inspection after the offer was accepted thanks to her, we were completely happy with what we found and continue to be so after a month and having finished the move. Thank you Sarah!
It has been a rewarding experience to work with Sarah! I had a house I had rented out for over 20 years and the wear and tear showed. I decided to sell it this year, but didn’t want to put any time or money into fixing it up. Sarah came and took a look and encouraged me to consider new paint inside and out as well as new flooring. She was certain these and a few other cosmetic fixes would bring a good return on my investment and boy was she right! She gave me suggestions for people to work with and ideas on flooring and color choices. She was great about touching base with me weekly and nudging me along when I was overwhelmed with all the decisions that needed to be made along the way. I loved her positive attitude and bright outlook - she is so nice! The house turned out better than I could have ever imagined. There were many showings and multiple offers over just three days. Sarah helped me sort through the offers and we chose a strong offer that moved quickly through the process to the closing without any glitches. The outcome was an offer over the asking price, which in itself was a number I could never have imagined! All of this thanks to Sarah’s input, on-going support and knowledge of the local market. Choosing Sarah as my real estate agent was the smartest move in the whole process. I went from being reluctant about making any upgrades to being absolutely delighted at seeing my 34 year old house refreshed and updated. It went from being a just a house to a warm and inviting home. I would highly recommend choosing Sarah for any of your real estate transactions. She’ll be there to help you through the process every step of the way.
My wife and I were first time home buyers in hopes of finding a forever home. Sarah prepared us thoroughly for every step of the way. She also help keep us focused on our "must haves" in a house. She made sure that we did not settle for anything less. She was always there for us for any questions we had. She always gave us perspective to keep us grounded and helped manage all the stress that goes with buying a home. When we found our home, she made the process of making our offer, getting our inspection, appraisal, renegotiating, and closing go smoothly. We could not be happier and more grateful with the work she did.
Sarah showed incredible patience with us during our year long search for a house. Showed us houses we rejected solely due to location--some more than once--which we should have rejected without dragging her to them. She gave us all the time we wanted and showed us many houses with never a hint of criticism or complaint at our indecisiveness. As our search went on the housing market became tighter and tighter--with some houses selling within days of going on the market. She was careful to check all he boxes and make sure houses met our "wants" as well as needs. She found us the perfect house and handled the purchase efficiently and with skill. We appreciated all she did.
When we decided to sell our house and purchase a smaller home in 2018, Sarah Morris was indispensable in quickly getting our house on the market, fielding multiple offers within a few days, all while simultaneously finding us the perfect new home. Sarah’s real estate knowledge and excellent customer service gave us the best outcome we could have ever imagined!
Sarah was amazing to work with and extremely patient with our first home buyer knowledge. She met with us to get an idea of what our likes and dislikes were and only showed us houses that met those criteria, or those that she felt we needed to see for options. Each step of the way Sarah shared her knowledge and referred us to reliable and knowledgeable lenders and inspectors. Sarah provided the encouragement we needed through many disappointments and in the end we found our dream home to start our family. Sarah will be the first one we call when we decide to sell and buy again. I recommend her to anyone I hear who is looking to buy or sell!
Sarah was raised in Olympia and is raising her children here too. She has wonderful knowledge of the area and really listened to our wishlist and “must haves.” The home we fell in love with and ended up buying is one I originally didn’t even think I wanted to look at and she convinced me to take a look! I’m so glad she did because she was spot on - it ended up being the perfect home for our family. She helped us through the entire process of selling and buying, and kept confident, positive, and encouraging the entire time. We would definitely recommend Sarah!
