Sara is exceptional at what she does in a sea of opportunities. She is organized, smart, and professional. Somehow she balances being direct yet kind, likes to help you dream of what a home purchase can be but also wholeheartedly practical when she doesn't think something is a good fit for you and your family. And if you still want to dream about a project home, she'll tell you the weak points that you'll need to consider fixing (and in your offers) and give you recommendations promptly of who she likes to help out with your projects. She also advocates for you if things get real in negotiation. She's a top realtor in the Des Moines area but never makes you feel like your questions and time are not her #1 priority. Everyone has to make their own choice in finding a realtor to work with. Yet I think you'll be hard pressed to find someone who does what Sara does and how she does it. I wish you the best of luck in finding your dream home(s) and hope Sara can help you the way she's helped me and my family.
