Testimonials

“I just want to thank you for being such a knowledgeable, patient and understanding partner throughout this process. 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. Although this is disappointing news, at least we will never look back and think that we could have done more. Again, thank you so very much! Everything that you did on our behalf is truly appreciated.” ~ Nancy

“Sarah got us into our dream house in Sebastopol! Through her extensive knowledge, probing questions and careful listening Sarah helped us figure out what we were looking for. And when we found homes we were interested in Sarah knew exactly what it would take to get them. But at the same time she never pressured us to make an offer and we always felt like our long term happiness was her only goal. Sarah was so tuned into what we wanted that she knew that our house would be the perfect one for us as soon as she saw it and she helped us navigate a competitive multi-offer situation. She was diligent and resourceful throughout our escrow period which helped our closing go smoothly and even happen a week early. We highly recommend Sarah for her knowledge and insight and ultimately for being the kind of person who makes home buying an enjoyable and low-stress experience.” ~ Marci & Darren R.

“Sarah Seitchik, real estate agent/mama extraordiniare, guided us through the crazy, exciting & intimidating process of buying our first home with grace, humor & wisdom. Highly recommended to other Petaluma mamas & families in negiotiating househunting in our beautiful town and county!” ~ Amy & Henry L.

“I recently had the opportunity to refer a good friend and client to Sarah Seitchik, because she was in search of a home in the Petaluma area. Sarah was referred to me by another realtor who had worked with Sarah and was thoroughly impressed with Sarah’s attention to detail and follow-through. I too, found Sarah to be professional and knowledgeable and I will certainly refer Sarah again and again. Sarah Seitchik is at the top of my list for wonderful agent to work with!” ~ P. Thomas, Realtor

“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. I am thinking of the house that we were looking at that didn’t have a heater, only a fireplace in the living room. People are usually looking at floor condition, size of rooms, how modern is the kitchen, condition of the bathrooms, etc. But you are aware of much more that really affects the living in the house. I love your sense of humor, stories of your kids, and your caring nature. You have always been there when I needed you and I know, to this day, that I will always be able to count on you when I need you. I wish you all of the success possible.” ~ Gay

“I have worked with Sarah for a number of years doing onsite wastewater inspections and consultations for property sales. I have found her to be knowledgeable and easy to work with. She promptly returns calls and e-mails, is timely for inspections and asks good questions. I have observed that she presents herself well with clients, colleagues and service providers.” ~ Mike Treinen, Registered Environmental Health Specialist

“In late February, 2012, my husband and I were searching for a house. We had a limited time in which to choose the house. We were searching in several different areas of Santa Rosa, Sebastopol and Petaluma. We were not very familiar with Santa Rosa, or Petaluma. We live in Mendocino County which meant at the minimum, a four hour round trip. She worked with our schedule. Sarah was an invaluable guide and helper, very patient, and knowledgeable enough about houses to point out possible problems, but understanding and accepting of our decisions, sensible or not. She oversaw inspections, and helped us through the morass of paperwork needed. She connected us with a helpful Loan Broker who got us a good mortgage agreement.” ~Gail H.

“My husband and I were so fortunate to have had Sarah Seitchik working with us to find and buy our home in Petaluma earlier this year. She was tireless in her efforts from the time we began our search to the day we were handed the keys. It was a long and rocky road much of the time, due to the fact that we live on the east coast, and the also because it was a short sale. She was our eyes and ears and kept us well informed throughout the entire process. Sarah really is the magic variable that sealed the deal. She was proactive and managed each step in an efficient and professional manner.” ~ Liz and Rusty Follin
