FAQ
1. What advice would you give a buyer trying to purchase a home?
Make your list of Must Have's and Want to Have's.. Then you can check off as you tour homes with the goal of getting all the must have's and most of the want have's. Have your real estate agent verify he value through a market analysis for the neighborhood and area, if you love the home, always put your best offer forward and ask questions the entire process - from first meeting to closing and beyond - that is what we are here to help you with!
2. What advice would you give a seller trying to sell their home?
Who you work with, matters. Hire someone who puts your goals first and does all they can to take the heavy lifting and stress of the sale off you. Make sure your home shows it's best, is priced competitively and is promoted with the largest exposure to the most possible buyers.
3. What types of clients have you worked with?
Our team has worked with buyers and sellers, relocation clients, news personalities, professional athletes, executives, first time home buyers and sellers, new construction, luxury, waterfront, acreage and investment. Personally I have focused on the listings and working with sellers for the past decade as my expertise and value is in marketing, staging and experience. We always say at our team meetings after a closing - they were awesome - let's go find more awesome people! (so when you work with us, by default - you are awesome!)
4. Describe a recent transaction you are fond of. How did it go?
I recently just helped a widower sell his home. It was clearly an emotional decision for him and he admitted he thought he knew more about the process than he did. I reassured him that he wasn't alone, there are so many moving parts that it's very difficult to navigate on your own, and that we will do as much of it as we can for him. I gave him the facts, listened to his goals and needs and we staged his home to show and shine it's best, promoted and had over 60 buyers look at the home, negotiated our way through some inspection challenges and got him to and through closing. The kinds words, huge smile and appreciation have made my entire month. It makes me so happy seeing my clients so happy.
5. How did you get started in Real Estate?
I had 3 small children and I wanted to get them out of daycare and needed a more flexible schedule... once I started, I fell in the love with the job and didn't look back.
6. Do you have any special education or training that will benefit your clients?
I have specialty training in marketing, luxury, technology and staging.

I would highly recommend Cindy for anyone selling a home. I'm sure she is just as good on the purchasing side, but I engaged her as a seller. She provided value from the first time I met with her, bringing several reports on recent sales in my neighborhood. It allowed us to accurately assess the market right then, as well as looking at trends over the past 3 months. Cindy is a direct communicator who won't waste your time. She will help you assess the pros and cons of every decision you make so that you are fully informed at every step. My home was beautifully decorated, and yet the stager she brought made it look even better. We set the price together based on selling it quickly at fair market value and it sold in two weeks. Then there were a few complications in the ensuing negotiations, which she took in stride and did a great job on my behalf. She was friendly and responsive throughout the process and I completely enjoyed working with her. I recommend her without hesitation!

Going into buying my first home I had no idea who to go to or even how to start. Thankfully my coworker recommended Sarah for being my buyers agent because without her I'd still be lost. I emailed her right after talking with my coworker and she got back to me right away as she does throughout the whole process. She found out what I was looking for and recommended the best homes with that criteria. It didn't take long before we hit the jackpot and found the perfect home. I highly advise anybody to go to her if you're looking to buy a home, you won't regret it as you will find your dream home quicker than you thought.

We had the pleasure of working with Beth Petersen Randall and she is top notch!! without her help it would have been IMPOSSIBLE to get the house sold so quickly! We had two offers and it sold within one week.Beth truly goes above and beyond. She even walked the dog until we could get back to the house when there was a showing!! You will not find a better partner to work with when you are looking to sell your home. She is not a high pressure type, and really cares about her clients.

It is a pleasure to write this review on Sarah Kate as part of the Cindy Welu team. Sarah Kate is an exceptional realtor, and it was a pleasure to partner with her throughout the entire home buying process. To start, my husband and I live out of state and our goal was to help our son and daughter-in-law buy their first home. Since they had recently become new parents for a second son, thee thought and time to go out looking at homes was overwhelming. Our goal was to fly out for a visit, view some homes and hopefully submit an offer prior to flying back out.Within this very small window of time that mostly fell on the weekend, Sarah was able to make that all happen.Sarah Kate was so professional and prompt from our first phone interaction and every step of the way. She not only had extensive knowledge of the area, she listened to our needs, respected our time, found homes within our budget, along with all the, "wants" on our wishlist. Literally from the start Sarah was "In it to win it", she was a tremendous advocate on our behalf. Within just a few short hours after one of our viewings, Sarah Kate had our offer submitted and less than 24 hours later, the morning of our departure it was accepted!

She was swift and responsive to all our questions and assisted us in every manner possible to make sure we were comfortable with the sale. I highly recommend working with Sarah Kate for your home buying experience. She is a great agent and then there is no doubt about it.
