Sarah began her real estate career in 2005. With a very strong multi-cultural background and ties to San Francisco and Sonoma County, Sarah brings a unique opportunity to help launch our operations. Her passion for creating community and bringing people together are reflected in her success in real estate—which is all about “relationships”.
Sarah began her Real Estate career at 17 while house hunting in San Francisco with her parents. As her family was upstairs checking out the bedrooms, Sarah opted to write the sellers a love letter for the home. Thanks to Sarah's intuitive Real Estate instincts, her parents won out over 5 bids for the property. Sarah became the unofficial Real Estate captain of her family both stateside and abroad.
For years afterwards, Sarah was diverted from her Real Estate career due to endeavors such as graduating from the University of California at Santa Cruz, living and working in Cuba, getting married, and her love of art, education and philanthropy.
Sarah found her way back to her future as Real Estate extraordinaire, when she was picked up by Michael Friedenberg, one of Sonoma CountyÃÂs top RE Brokers and arguably one of the best in the county. During her tenure with Michael, she honed her natural instincts into solid business acumen. While her experience and wise mentorship by Michael led her to manage vacation, land, investment and vineyard deals, Sarah loves working with all people from experienced investors and developers to guiding first time buyers through the roller coaster ride of purchasing property.
Sarah also works seamlessly with multi generational family asset goal planning through Real Estate. Her favorite interactions include walking through long range property planning with grandparents while they plan for their retirement living and homes for the younger generations. Her work has taken Sarah all over the county, making Sarah a resource for those looking for both in town and country properties.
Sarah serves as the executive producer of your Real Estate experience.
She expertly brings together all the components of every deal from:
• Translating the vision of the property you wish to buy into a brick and mortar address
• Successfully negotiating on your behalf while managing every detail of the transaction process
• Not wasting time- knowing when a property is a proper fit
• Providing constant open communication throughout transaction
• To finally celebrating a successful close
While Sarah has her finger on the pulse of the process, she eases you through with humor, grace and great diplomacy. Sarah lives in Petaluma with her family... playing tennis, climbing and serving up as much fun as possible in one day.

I know that both Sarah and I have learned so much from working with you and that all of our relationships have deepened as a result of going through the ups and down of crazy California real estate together.

Everything that you did on our behalf is truly appreciated.” ~ Nancy

“I have always been able to rely on you because you are very honest and trustworthy. I have worked with you over the years as I was getting ready for retirement by accumulating properties that I can rent as a source of income. You have worked with me and my sons, including them in the transactions according to their needs. I would never introduce my sons to someone I didn’t totally trust when doing business. You have been able to see potential problems before they got too far down the line. Your ability to notice issues is sometimes truly amazing. " Gay
