About the
Sara Hopkins Team
We pride ourselves on tenacity and the ability to problem solve. We build relationships and focus on always doing the right thing for our clients, regardless of our compensation.
We go into scary basements. We negotiate like no other. We discover the newest listings, obsess over prices, current market conditions, and strategize on how to win in multiple offer situations.
