"Sarah Biggerstaff helped us purchase a rental property in Austin, TX. She is a delightful real estate agent and willing to go the extra mile! Refreshingly, Sarah was 100% invested in our best interests. After putting an offer on one property, the home inspection revealed significant deficiencies. Sarah was diligent and reliable through all the extra negotiations that entailed. We finally made the difficult decision to retract our offer. Sarah was patient with us when we resumed the search for another property. With the second property we chose, the transaction went seamlessly. Sarah was always available to answer our questions. She is a lovely person and a positive voice in what can be a stressful experience. After closing, she was very helpful when it came to showing and renting the property. We would highly recommend Sarah as a real estate professional."

"Working with Sarah has been an exceptional experience every time. She's been more than just a REALTOR^®; she's been my ally in finding homes that perfectly fit my needs. Her expertise in the field is undeniable, and her commitment to ensuring the best for her clients is commendable. What sets her apart is her unwavering integrity, guiding every step of the process with honesty and transparency. Anyone would be fortunate to have her expertise and dedication by their side in their real estate journey."

"Adventurous, knowledgeable, thorough and truly cares. During Spring Break, my elderly mom, two kids and I started our home search. We had to be out of our rental by May 1st by no choice of our own. Under a serious time crunch, Sarah helped us stay within budget and find a home that met all of our needs within a week! We closed on the house two weeks before our deadline. Sarah helped me even with my budget constraints and less than stellar credit. With her contacts and adventurous spirit we were able to buy a house I never thought I would be able to purchase. There were times where I thought all was lost but Sarah was upbeat and positive in a productive and not annoying way. She was tireless, efficient, flexible and if she didn't have an answer she found out! I can't say enough. Sarah changed our life for the better. I left feeling like she truly cared about me and my family. She helped us with resources even after we closed. I highly recommend Sarah to anyone buying a residence anywhere in the Austin area. She absolutely cares about finding you a home!"

"Working with Sarah Biggerstaff was a pleasure. She made the stressful process of selling my Austin, TX home very easy. I contacted her because a house around the corner had her name on the sold placard. From the moment I met her I liked her and could feel her genuine enthusiasm and interest. Throughout the process I felt that she honestly cared and she went above and beyond the call of duty on several occasions. When a potential buyer wanted to view my home and I had a commitment that meant I would not be able to take my two dogs, Sarah volunteered to look after them herself. Furthermore, my sale was complicated by the fact that I had to probate my husband’s will before the sale could occur. When an issue arose in connection with this I was able to call Sarah even though she was at the airport on her way to Paris, France for her Christmas vacation and she contacted the necessary parties before her plane departed. Needless to say, I have the highest regard for Sarah and respect her abilities as a REALTOR^®. I have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone who needs to sell their home. She is a professional, but even more than that, she is a genuinely warm and caring person who is easy to get along with and does whatever it takes to make you feel at ease during the stressful home selling process."

"Working with Sarah felt like working with an old friend-- she immediately understood what we were looking for, and I always felt like she had our best interests at heart. I was especially grateful at the beginning of our home buying process, when a miscommunication with our bank made us believe we weren't going to be able to qualify for a large enough loan to look in our desired area. We had already resigned ourselves to being renters for a while longer, when Sarah went out of her way to communicate with our lender, investigate the misunderstanding, and get us back on track just as our dream home dropped into our price range. We would have completely missed the opportunity if she hadn't realized what was going on! As first-time homebuyers, Sarah did an incredible job of educating us on the process, while making it as simple and pain-free as possible. I would (and have already) recommended her to anyone looking to buy, especially in the Cherrywood area. I can't begin to thank you enough, Sarah, for all of your hard work and dedication to your clients! You always go above and beyond, and it doesn't go unnoticed."

"Sarah is more than a REALTOR^® - she is a life transition doula! That's a term I just made up but it feels right because she has helped me and my family through several big life changes that involved buying and selling houses (and even finding homes to lease). Often when you are buying or selling a home it's because you just made a big life change: marriage, kids, new city, divorce... and having someone like Sarah in your corner makes all the difference in the world! She is extremely responsive, advocates for her clients, explains the process every step of the way, and makes sure you understand and feel good about your choices. She fights for your best interest with honesty, gentleness, and care! Beyond being extremely skilled and knowledgeable, she has a healing, compassionate energy. I can't say enough positive things about Sarah. You will be so happy to have her as your real estate advocate (and life transition doula)!"

  Sarah is my partner, we are a blended family. She recently led us to buy our dream home. Here,  I am sharing my experience. After having observed her handling deals for other clients, I can guarantee that she offers the same level of care and professionalism throughout.

It was my first time purchasing a home. Sarah juggled countless things all happening at once, on a very stringent timeline. We would NOT have made it to closing without Sarah. I knew very little going into the buying process myself as a first-time buyer and I fully entrusted Sarah to lead us on the journey.

Sarah was exceptional and invaluable at every single step in the home-buying process. From getting pre-approved to searching for homes. She went out previewing homes for us for weeks while I was busy working. But the real work and harder part came in later after we had identified the home we wanted. Another party wanted the home and we found ourselves in a multiple offer situation with a very difficult For Sale By Owner who had unrealistic expectations about how much his home was worth and the entire sales process. Nevertheless, Sarah managed to get our offer accepted $40,000 off the list price while another offer was on the table.

One of the crucial aspects of us getting our “clear to close” was that our offer was contingent on Sarah leasing out her home. This made us both nervous going into the process but Sarah was confident to make this happen. She flawlessly executed a lease on her home within a matter of days of our offer being accepted (as if the process wasn’t already crazy enough that first-week handling inspections and gathering lender documents/creating spreadsheets required by the lender). Sarah took over handling all inspections and negotiations for us as I was leaving town for the weekend and unavailable to be there.

After we passed through our option period, Sarah was unintentionally tasked to help me sublease the house I had been renting out. I needed to have as little of a window as possible in new tenants taking over my lease so that I would be out of pocket as little money as possible in making this transition. Sarah was the key player in making all this happen, and she decided to postpone her vacation, while my kids and I were out of town to finalize leasing my house and all necessary follow-ups. Wow! She put me, the children, the deal ahead of her plans to make sure everyone was well cared for. I was amazed by her strength, dedication, follow-through, and make-it-happen attitude - a true leader. Getting my old house rented was an ordeal: We realized the property management company for the house had posted the listing on the MLS but refused to put the listing on Zillow (where Sarah knew most people were searching online) Sarah then took it upon herself to take pictures of the house and post it on Zillow (with the property management company’s permission), where she then proceeded to communicate with and show the house to dozens of potential tenants until it was finally leased. She executed getting a lease signed with just a three-day differential between the day I moved out and the day the new tenants moved in, saving me as much money as she possibly could. Her dedication throughout the entire process without so much as even a second thought or blink of an eye utterly amazed me and gave me respect for her not just as my partner but as the true real estate professional that she is for each of her clients.

After this experience, I can genuinely say that Sarah did everything she did because she is an exceptional real estate professional. She cares and does everything from the very best place in her heart. There is only one Sarah Biggerstaff!  If you are looking for dedication, kindness, follow-through, experience, knowledge, innovation, tenacity, creativity, integrity, accountability, and professionalism, look no further and contact Sarah now!  You won’t regret it.

Thank you Sarah for everything you have done to manifest our dream home, and thank you for being a blessing in my life and the life of many.

  We really appreciated working with Sarah. She is sharp and experienced, and freely shared her knowledge and judgement with us throughout the process of buying our first home. She has keen attention to detail and took her role of representing us very seriously. In the final stages of the offer she caught some key details in the documents that the sellers' agent changed without disclosing. That was super valuable to us, and we really appreciated it!

Also we had a lot of questions after the closing about tax, homestead exemption, escrow, etc, and Sarah was always willing to help even though it wasn't directly related to closing. She goes above and beyond in her role. Thank you, Sarah!

  Sarah has to be one of the best realtors in Austin. She knows the home-buying process inside and out and was great at guiding me through it. I seriously had no idea what an option period was before I met her. She was so helpful and made the process an easy one. I knew too many people who had to meet their realtors in person to sign documents (what year are we living in?!). Sarah, on the other hand, did everything digitally and it was so quick and convenient. She is also amazingly responsive via email, text, and phone. With the market in Austin being as hot as it is, it made quite a difference to be able to text her and schedule a showing immediately. Sarah is such a pleasure to work with too. You can tell that she loves what she does and is so passionate about Austin and helping others find the perfect home. I am pretty sure I can go on and on about why Sarah was the best; I definitely recommend anyone who is looking to purchase a home in Austin to work with Sarah.

  Sarah is an amazing realtor. I had about two weeks to find a house, secure financing, make an offer, and go under contract - and not only did we get it done, it ended up being beautiful house at the right price. Sarah is extremely helpful, friendly, knowledgeable, and responsive to any questions. She really made the home buying experience as easy as possible, and I’m very grateful for that

  Sarah helped my husband and I find our first home and made us feel super at ease with the entire process. Not being super adept in such large investments, she always took the time to answer the smallest questions, leading us to the right places to find answers and making us feel comfortable without any pressure. She helped improve our confidence in the process and lent an ear whenever we needed to simply vent about our nervousness. I would highly recommend Sarah bc not only is she a great realtor, she's become a trusted friend.

  Sarah is the best realtor you can ask for as first time home buyers. She was very knowledgeable and tried to answer any of the questions that we had no matter how obvious it was.

Her communication was great and she was very punctual whenever there were showings. She probably has alot of clients but she sure made it feel like that we were her only client. Very professional!

  Everyone's heard it....the Austin home-buying market is a nightmare. At least, that's what we thought when we started to consider looking for our first home. We expected headache after headache and months on end of being frustrated with the process. We decided to partner with Sarah because we knew she had an awesome reputation around the city for taking incredible care of her clients, and did she ever live up to that reputation! Sarah made what could have been a nightmare of a process into the smoothest home-buying experience I've ever heard of! She thought of everything and went above and beyond our expectations to ensure we got the home of our dreams. She drove the timeline like a pro and was consultative every step of the way. I cannot recommend Sarah enough, and we will certainly be partnering with her for our future real estate needs. I cannot overstate how much of a non-headache she made this for us, and although I'm sure there were some stressful parts of the process on her end, she never let it show. Now we are happily settling in to our new home in South Austin, all thanks to Sarah!
