Testimonials

Asking Brian De Paulo to be our realtor turned out to be the best decision of our quick turnaround home sale. We were in a bind, with less than two months before we had to vacate the house for our cross-country move. With the Thanksgiving and Christmas dead periods quickly approaching and with the typical year-end uptick at work for two lawyers, Brian’s assistance proved priceless.

After our first meeting, we already had a solid plan to sell our home. Using Compass’s fantastic pre-launch marketing capabilities, Brian was able to generate lots of interest before our house even hit the market. He knew how to generate interest - the pictures on our listing made us almost regret selling the place! As a result, foot and online traffic were both much higher than we had expected. As Brian was working on sales, he left us with a list of tasks to focus upon and prepare our home to show. This is where Brian's connections started to add value. He set up appointments with local professional cleaning companies and home repair companies when we needed a little extra work done and took that off our plate during a very hectic time. Brian is not shy about taking on work himself, and his willingness to go above and beyond our requests was always appreciated.

Brian knows Houston. His selling price analysis was a precise exercise in which his knowledge of the First Ward neighborhood provided insight into the our market. This resulted in a final sale at our asking price and above our original expectations. It blew us away when Brian called just two days after hitting the market with a great offer on our house. We accepted and Brian was there to advise us every step of the way all the way up to closing. We put our trust in Brian for our first home sale and it paid off.

This was my second time working with Sara and her team. They were super helpful in selling my condo quickly. Sara was very responsive and super helpful during the listing, offer, and countering process. I’d recommend her team to anyone trying to sell or buy in Houston!

Sara was THE BEST realtor we could have asked for! As first time home buyers, my husband and I had a lot of questions throughout the process. Sara was very knowledgeable, super easy to work with and made up feel helped and supported in all areas of buying a house. She was always quick to respond to our questions and also recommended excellent people for inspections, repairs, mortgage, insurance, etc. Sara always had our back and ensured we got the best possible deal while also managing our expectations correctly. We highly recommend using Sara as your realtor.

For context, this review is being written by a someone who questioned whether we needed a realtor at all in our home buying search. My wife and I were first time home buyers and we seriously considered going it alone. I could not be happier that we did not make that decision and instead worked with Sara. Sara was incredibly valuable throughout the entire process. I can't recommend her enough. She was able notice things in houses (mainly defects) that I would have never seen. She was very prompt in answering all our questions. She handled communications with the buyer very efficiently. I would highly recommend to anyone that they use Sara when they are buying a home. Further, I have never sold a home. However,I guarantee, that when that day comes, we will be working with Sara again.

Great team that had my interest and needs in mind and then closed the transaction and continually followed up to make sure everything was meeting our expectations.

Dana and Sara were very nice and extremely prompt with responses throughout the process. I appreciated having them there to work with through this move.

I researched the realtors available in my area and decided to call Sara based on reviews I had read for her compared to all others and my research definitely paid off. She was very thorough, professional, and understanding of our needs and situation. She made the process very easy with clear communication and expectations but bottom line helped us sell our house in 2 weeks for asking price.

We were so fortunate to have found Sara Black. As our Realtor, she helped us find the right buyer for the right price. In short, she was always on our side working to make our house selling as simple and successful as possible.

This has become a good habit...Thank you for getting everything done so efficiently!

Very responsive and patient, goes above and beyond. Really great experience.

Sara Black is very professional, knowledgeable and personable. Prior to listing with Sara, my house sat on the market for almost five months with little interest. Once the listing was switched to the Sara Black Team and they actively marketed my home, we had an offer within a month and a half. Sara has a great team of realtors to work with, and I highly recommend them.

Sara Black did an excellent job in selling my home. She is very knowledgeable and professional. I would highly recommend her as a highly competent realtor!

The transaction was flawless from start to finish! Very professional in every way.

I think this is my 5th or 6th transaction with Sara. She has a great head for numbers. I didn't realize that she first got into Real Estate as an appraiser and because of her sales background started became a Realtor. It's nice to be able to sit back and not have to worry about a homes value when making a purchase. Thanks for your hard work. My wife loves the new house!

All of Sara's suggestions got our house under contract in a week and sold in a month. Would use again.

Excellent realtor would recommend to anyone.

Sara is an outstanding realtor that certainly knows the market very well. She is very professional, personable and timely. Working with her was an overall pleasure. I would highly recommend her!

Sara is bright, personable, knowledgeable, and efficient. And she works hard--at one point, she and I were emailing back and forth long after 10:00 p.m. As a buyer, I'm acutely aware when dealing with a seller's agent that she works for the seller, not for me. Sara is able to bridge this conceptual divide and bring a level of comfort and service to the buyer that one wouldn't expect under the circumstances. She has been a pleasure to work with.

Sara is very knowledgeable and great to work with! I have worked with her on the buy of a home and on the rental of several of my investment properties. She is very trustworthy and a hard worker! You wont find a more dedicated realtor in all of Houston.

Sara was so responsive and patient. Often, I felt like her only client. She made the process very smooth. I will recommend Sara to everyone. Sara was amazing. She was honest and listened to what we had to say. I wanted to sell my house in two weeks and With Sara's guidance we achieved that goal. I will recommend Sara to everyone.

Sara Black is an exceptional real estate professional. Our transactions were anything but normal. She exemplifies professionalism. We were kept informed at every step of the way and knew that she always had our best interests at heart. We highly recommend using her for both buying and selling property.
