Testimonials
Sara helped us find the right place to live. She was patient, listened well, and asked good questions. When we did find the right place she was an excellent advocate for us through a difficult escrow. She repeatedly went to extraordinary lengths to help us find ways around roadblocks during the purchase of our first home. We can’t imagine how we would have done it without her assistance. We would strongly recommend her to our family and friends.

We want to thank you for being so very considerate, thoughtful and kind. We didn’t know there were Realtors like you! It’s been a joy knowing you.
Maury and Bernadine T. of Vacaville,CA. (Sold in Philo)
Sara is wonderful. Buying a house is one thing; buying a home is so much more. She considered my desires and my financial ability and helped me find the place that fit well. I never felt pressured to look at any place I couldn't afford, or to have to buy anything just because we were looking. Sara is honest, helpful, understanding and infinitely patient with the idiosyncrasies of real estate transactions. She's a warm and sincere person...if you want a pleasant, successful experience, I highly recommend Sara. As I said, she is great!

I have been involved in a number of real estate transactions and never enjoyed the process, mainly due to the high pressure techniques of the agents. Sara listened to what I had to say and found exactly the sort of property that I wanted in the price range we discussed. She is not your typical real estate agent.

My father died..…and my brother and I, very sadly, decided we had to sell our family property in Anderson Valley. With me in the Netherlands and my brother in Albuquerque it was the only realistic option. A friend of ours recommended Sara Fowler, and we’re awfully glad she did! Although ours was an almost perfect piece of property (woods, flat, stream, etc) and we got an offer almost immediately, it was not an easy sale, with both my brother and me at a distance and some last minute problems with the buyer’s financing; but throughout Sara was right on top of things. Her shrewd initial appraisal meant that we got nearly twice for it what we (in our ignorance) would otherwise have asked; she was prompt, clear and comprehensive in explaining everything to us; her constant supervision prevented things from going off the rails; and a terrific burst of energy from her during the last week enabled it to be wrapped up safely. We owe her a lot, and would recommend her without reservation to anyone.

Let it be known that we found Sara to be a refreshingly relaxed, honest, and never "pushy" agent, as well as having an intimate knowledge of the area. She is a "real" person, and we would sincerely recommend choosing her to deal with any day!

In the summer of 2002 we found ourselves in the position of realizing a long held dream to own property in Anderson Valley. We called a friend in the Valley, a retired Real Estate agent, and asked for his advice and a referral. He gave us Sara’s name and stated “Sara is the only one in the Valley I would do business with.” It turned out to be a great connection. Sara has all the attributes of a great person, a great agent. She listens, she is tenacious, she follows through and above all else is ethical. We were lucky enough to find a property we fell in love with very quickly because Sara did a great investigative job (the listing was not widely known about.) The transaction was a little tricky because the sellers were not prepared for the sale, and she followed through at every step to see that the sale reached a positive conclusion. The sellers were so impressed with Sara that they later asked her to be a selling Agent for them in another sale. We would recommend Sara to anyone, and she is the only Agent we would work with.

Sara was a pleasure to work with as our agent when we bought our place in Anderson Valley. After meeting with Sara and describing what we wanted she helped us find and buy a place that we truly love. Sara called us the day before our property was officially listed (by another real estate firm). We viewed it and submitted an offer the following day. I believe if it wasn’t for Sara’s diligence and quick action it is possible that we might of missed our chance at a great property. Besides her quickness in responding when our property came to her attention, she displayed a thorough knowledge of the various “neighborhoods” and “micro-communities” that make up the Valley and solid transaction related skills. We enthusiastically recommend Sara to anyone considering buying or selling in Anderson Valley.

Sara was willing to spend extra time working for and with me to find a new home. She was always personable and patient. If I need help in the future, I will call her again.

A few years back I was in the market for a house but had a fairly low budget. I initially went to the big guns, who as much as laughed in my face and told me to get a life. Suffice it to say, I didn’t look at many houses. Then I met Sara Fowler at Coast Real Estate. She listened to my needs, then rolled up her sleeves and went to work for me., Within two weeks, I’d looked at four homes that were not only in my price range but were the kind of properties I had in mind. I was mulling over my options when she called to say she had a house in Albion which she thought I’d really like. The minute we drove in the driveway, my entire being shouted, “I’m home!” She suggested an offer, which was accepted, and made the paperwork and closing a breeze. Although I purchased my home nearly six years ago, Sara has never left me. She’s gone way beyond the usual agent’s view of a sale and is always available to answer my questions and help me make decisions. I highly recommend her to anyone who is seeking an informed, reliable and honest agent who’s willing to bend over backwards to help her clients find and/or sell property.
