The Art and Science of Selling Well

Homes deserve more than a sign in the yard. It takes thoughtful strategy, beautiful presentation, and advice grounded in real data. When we prepare well, the market responds.

When does preparation start? Buying the right house. The second best time to start? Now. It’s never too early to plan.

  • Outstanding Service, Deep Market Knowledge, Professional & Personable, Excellent Outcome

    Sarah was our agent while buying a new home. We found her knowledge of the market invaluable and she took the time to listen to our preferences / needs as a buyer. She not only found us a perfect home in our ideal location but also effectively negotiated on our behalf. Sarah was professional, balanced, and extremely responsive. At no time did we feel pressured and always felt she had our best interest in mind. As an experienced buyer/seller of homes, I have seen a wide range of realtors and Sarah is truly a notch above. I would highly recommend Sarah to any buyer/seller and we plan to utilize her for selling one of our other homes in the immediate future. Edgeworth Buyer

  • Sarah is Amazing Realtor

    Sarah was amazing. I live out of state and Sarah took care of everything; prep, staging, lawn care, coordinating contractors, open houses, showings, etc. She gave invaluable recommendations and advised me through negotiations. I got a price that I never thought possible! - City of Pittsburgh Seller

  • Sarah: Creative, Professional, and Fun

    Despite a stressful housing market, long distance, tight budget, short timeframe, and our ever-changing preferences, Sarah made our house hunt a complete success. When we first thought there was only a chance that we MIGHT be moving from another state to the Pittsburgh area, Sarah took a LOT of time and introduced us to the neighborhoods she thought would suit us. Then, when we were finally certain thqt we would be moving, Sarah was on her honeymoon--but no problem! She used her connections to help us see homes in person on very short notice, and utilized video technology to show us multiple homes when we couldn't make a trip. Once we had found the perfect place, Sarah got really creative, helped us to craft a competitive offer, and it was quickly accepted. Sarah held our nervous hands throughout the time until closing, and found answers to our never-ending questions. Even after we were settled, we counted on Sarah to find reliable businesses for home improvements. We have appreciated that she is as down-to-earth, fun, calm, and pleasant as much as she is a Pittsburgh-area, real estate guru.

  • A tough transaction made easy with the best agent!

    I met Sarah at an open house about a year before I even started working with her. I didn't have an agent in the city and everyone I knew wanted to give me theirs, but Sarah had such a calm and confident way about her when I met her that I had already made my decision about who to work with. I didn't read any reviews because I didn't need to. She stayed in touch sending me automatic updates on properties. She never pressured me about when we were actually going to start working together. When I was ready, I reached out to her and she was ready to go. If I had done any research about Sarah I would have learned that her background in other disciplines made her a formidable force and negotiator. I sat back and let her do her thing because I trusted her implicitly. I guess I have a good gut because I could not have chosen a better agent who I can now call a friend. I guess it's clear that I highly recommend Sarah Drinkwater!

  • Smooth and Successful Selling Experience

    Having worked with Sarah when purchasing my current house, choosing her to help me sell my previous home-turned-rental was a no-brainer. Even though I had sold a few houses before this, and knew generally what to do, I greatly appreciated her advice regarding what would maximize my selling price and create the cleanest transaction possible, and I'm so glad I did! She gave me a task list to prep it for sale, worked with me regarding what was most important given my available time and budget, then created a robust marketing plan that had my home sold within days. We were able to choose a clean/simple offer out of multiple offers within the first few days it was on the market.
