Endorsements

"Sara deserves the highest of recommendations - she not only took all the stress out of relocating long distance from west coast to east, she also found us a north shore dream home and helped us negotiate all the usual hurdles with ease. Sara worked very hard for us throughout the process, and was extremely knowledgeable - we couldn't be happier." ~ Mike Sally, (Satisfied Relocation client)

"A truly caring agent, Sara puts her whole heart into finding the right home for her clients. She really went over and above expectations helping us find the perfect place for our aunt. There was constant communication and feedback about the market, as well as other pertinent moving information. When there was a last minute curveball, Sara worked overtime to see it fully resolved. This particular transaction was not going to provide a big commission for Sara, but she treated us like we were her most important clients. I can only imagine what she does for her other buyers and sellers!"~ Megie S (Satisfied Relocation client)

"I just wanted to say that Sara (Maurno) was very instrumental in the sale of a two family I owned in Lynn Mass. When things weren't looking good, she kept at it and got me what I wanted. I would highly recommend her. Great negotiator!" ~Dana F. B. (Satisfied North Shore client)

"Sara (Maurno) was recommended from another broker. When we contacted her it was clear she was very aware of the market situation and had wonderful suggestions and advise. We had a lot of changes and challenges with our request. Sara had no problem with quick and specific solutions for us. We found her to be the best professional in communications and return calls that we have ever dealt. We were very lucky to have Sara as our agent." ~ Tom T. (Satisfied Relocation Referral client)

"I was a first time home buyer and Sara did an excellent job as my realtor. She was always readily available to show properties and was very flexible with her schedule in order to meet my needs. The entire process from start to finish went extremely smoothly and I love my new home!" ~ Allison M. (Satisfied North Shore client)

"We would absolutely recommend Sara (Maurno) ! She helped ease our stress with buying our first home. She is extremely knowledgeable, reliable and a great person to work with!" ~ Erin Jason R. (Satisfied Greater Boston client)

"A family friend recommended Sara (Maurno) when I decided to move back to the northeast after a year in Florida. We spoke and she described the area in the historic section of Salem within walking distance of local restaurants, stores, Peabody Essex Museum, etc. We corresponded by phone, fax and email and within six weeks of initial contact I was moving into the apt. Sara followed up with recommending a contact for a local walking club! I would not hesitate to recommend Sara (Maurno) to anyone who was considering a new home or selling their existing one." ~ Carol D. (Satisfied Relocation client)

"When we moved to Massachusetts from Oregon, we had no idea what we were doing. Thank goodness we met Sara. Not only did she find a fantastic place to live within our budget right in the heart of beautiful, downtown Salem, but she even acted as a de facto tour guide who showed us all of the sights and was chockfull of fantastic advice. Personable, honest and hard-working, we wouldn't hesitate to call Sara (Maurno) again." ~ Jeremy Jennifer C.(Satisfied North Shore client)

"So pleased to recommend Sara (Maurno) to anyone buying or selling their home. She knows the intricate ins and outs of real estate, takes the stress out of the equation, acts like a human being and not a real estate sales robot. Our experience buying our Salem condo was easy and smooth because she did all the difficult parts for us!" ~Kathleen, M. (Satisfied Relocation client)

"Sara was my buyers agent purchasing a condo in Salem. Her knowledge of the market was very helpful in finding and closing the right deal. After the Offer was signed she was key in keeping the closing on track, working with the sellers agent, lawyers and the bank keeping them on track.I was very happy with her assistance finding and completing the purchase."~ Andrew M. (Satisfied North Shore client)

"If you are planning to buy or sell a home I recommend Sara (Maurno). Simply put, you could not have a Realtor working harder on your behalf. She is honest and has an easy way of relating with her customers, but she is not afraid to move quickly and play hard when she has to bring her clients the best results possible. They don't call her Sara Moves for nothing! ~ Jeffrey S. (Satisfied Greater Boston client)

"Sara (Maurno) helped us buy our dream house. If I had to use one word to describe her it is professional. I wouldn't use anyone else!" ~ Ken C. (Satisfied North Shore client)

"Looking for a Realtor to buy or sell? I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Sara (Maurno) for the job! She was our realtor last year and helped us buy our first home, and if we ever decide to sell we'll be calling her! I suggest you do the same!" ~ Maureen B. (Satisfied North Shore client)

"Don't waste time working with another Realtor! Sara took us from #9 to #1 in a bidding war for a famous historical house; and for not much more than our original offer. Sara even met us during a Nor'easter last winter to sign papers to close the deal. Sara is tireless, meticulous, driven and smart. She will travel outside the North Shore to meet her clients needs." ~ (Linda Jeff K.)

We couldn't have asked for a better Realtor. We wanted to buy in an area that had a city feel, culture, walkability and an easy commute to Boston. Sara's advice and knowledge helped confirm that Salem was where we wanted to be. As first time home buyers, Sara addressed our many questions and concerns. Her knowledge base was invaluable. She truly cared that we found a home where we would be happy and she pushed us outside of our comfort- zone to find the perfect place. (Alison C. Chris M.)

Faced with relocating across country, I connected with Sara. Her professionalism invited trust and confidence and I knew she was the agent for me! After an initial market analysis I decided the more realistic option for me would be to rent vs. sell my condo. Throughout, Sara was accessible and prompt in communication. She made suggestions on how/where to donate household goods, and how to stage the property for maximum return on my investment! Sara's follow up and attention to detail was comprehensive. (Diana L. Sims)

Over the course of numerous weeks we saw many houses and condos but did not find what we thought was the right fit. Sara was always positive; she made herself available and worked with our schedule. She stayed in close contact all the while and alerted us to new prospects as they arose. Throughout our search Sara assured us that ~ a house was out there and for us not to get discouraged. Our patience along with Sara's diligence finally paid off and we are now settling in our new home. Many thanks to Sara for her professionalism, perseverance and support. (Dwayne Rebecca S.)
