When we finally fell in love with a home, her expertise really shined—she negotiated a fantastic price for us. We couldn't be happier with our experience and highly recommend her!
Sarah and the Gellman team were fantastic. We actually enjoyed the process of selling the house that we have loved and worked hard to make our home. She had the right touch as she guided and advised us through the logistics of a sale, had the appropriate resources to reach back to, negotiated in our behalf with ease, and walked us to and through closing like it was just another Tuesday. WE love her and the Gellman team!

We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Sarah. She went above and beyond in every possible way while selling our home. The amount of time, effort, and strategy she put into marketing our listing was incredible. Because of her hard work, we had close to 40 scheduled tours and around 80 visitors at our open house, which ultimately brought us five strong offers and led to an excellent one! From start to finish, everything went smoothly. Sarah made the entire process feel organized, stress-free, and seamless. Not only did she successfully sell our home, but she also helped us find the home of our dreams. We are beyond grateful for everything she has done for our family and would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell. She is simply the best!

She was always on our side, advocated for us, gave honest advice, and made sure we felt confident in every decision along the way.

I will never look for another realtor as long as Sarah is available. Sarah's helped us buy two house and sell one. In each of these instances, Sarah's talked us out of homes that didn't have good upside potential, had overwhelming structural problems, or were simply going to be inconvenient to live in over the years, and put us into homes that we've absolutely fallen in love with. This is possible by Sarah's unique and highly valuable skill set: her deep knowledge of the greater St. Louis area and surrounding suburbs; her understanding of the housing market; and her ability to empathize with her clients and put their needs and wants first. Outside of these skills, Sarah is extremely fast to communicate. We reached out to Sarah after 5 years, and she responded within minutes. Throughout the process, she's proactive both in getting what she needs from her clients, as well as working hard behind the scenes so that her clients don't have a lot of work to do.I can't recommend Sarah highly enough!
