ZillowVERIFIEDWe cannot recommend Sarah enough! For years, my husband and I were those people who were always aEURoejust looking.aEUR? Wed visit open houses, casually watch interest rates, follow neighborhood sales, and talk about moving someday. We reached out to Sarah to view one of her listings (casually), and during the walk through and simple conversation we learned she had successfully helped friends of ours buy and sell homes and also knew family members of mine. More importantly, when we shared our hesitation, she provided the knowledge, guidance, and confidence we needed to finally make the leap. Also, the home we met her in was not the home we decided to purchase. However, from that first meeting, we knew she was the right person for us. What followed was one of the most challenging and unexpected real estate journeys we could have imagined. Between selling our home and purchasing another, we encountered twists, surprises, negotiations, investigations, and problem-solving opportunities that went far beyond a typical transaction and followed us after escrow closed too. Through it all, she has been incredible. She wore every hat imaginable. No matter what challenge arose, she was always responsive, knowledgeable, calm, and ready with a solution. What impressed us most was how genuinely invested she was in our success. We never felt like just another client. She took the time to answer every question, explain every step, advocate for our interests, and ensure we felt informed and supported throughout the process. Buying and selling a home can be incredibly stressful, but somehow she managed to make the experience enjoyable. We shared plenty of laughs along the way and always knew we had someone trustworthy in our corner. If you are looking for an agent who is knowledgeable, hardworking, honest, responsive, and willing to go above and beyond for her clientsaEUR|youve found her. We are so grateful for everything Sarah did for our family and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone buying or selling a home. We look forward to staying in touch and will absolutely be referring friends and family to her in the future.

ZillowVERIFIED I cant say enough great things about Sarah! She did an incredible job selling my grandmas condo in California. From start to finish, she was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring during what could have been a stressful process. Sarah went above and beyond to make sure everything was handled smoothly, kept us informed every step of the way, and worked hard to get us a great result. Her attention to detail and dedication really stood out. If youre looking for a real estate agent who truly has your best interests at heart, I highly recommend Sarah. Were so grateful for everything she did!

ZillowVERIFIED Sarah was the sole reason we could buy the house we love. Through being incredibly attentive and responsive, she secured our offer quickly. She had knowledge and provided feedback on every step of the buying process, making us feel like a priority no matter the time of day we contacted her. I can't recommend Sarah enough, and I know that the next time we buy or sell we are undoubtedly asking for her services.

ZillowVERIFIED Sarah was with us through every step of the process. She often responded to our text message questions within minutes of asking them. Sarah lives in Escondido and is therefore very familiar with the area. Her children attend schools in this area and she gave us house tours in every corner of Escindido. During our first meeting, she provided a detailed process overview of the house buying process. As first time home buyers this was immensely helpful. She made us feel comfortable and informed throughout the process. During our negotiations she provided insight on her previous experiences, what to expect, and provided realistic suggestions on what we could ask for from the seller. My wife and I would highly recommend Sarah to our friends and colleagues looking to buy/sell their homes in the greater Escondido area.

ZillowVERIFIED Sarah made our first time home buying experience so pleasant. She?s just such a nice person, and she brings so much knowledge and experience to the table. She got our offer accepted at the right amount and just at the right time! She was able to connect us with many different individuals, from our mortgage broker to a plumber. I would not hesitate to recommend her at all.

ZillowVERIFIED I honestly cannot say enough great things about Sarah. The home-buying process is stressful, especially in today?s market! But Sarah was so helpful and on top of everything, she made it so much easier! We are first time home buyers and needed a bit of hand-holding. But Sarah was so helpful and kind, and so supportive. I would recommend her to anyone! Should we ever choose to sell, there is no doubt who we will be contacting! Thank you Sarah for helping us buy our wonderful home!

ZillowVERIFIED Sarah Messali is a true professional and dedicated realtor. More importantly she is trustworthy and conducts her business with the highest integrity!!! She sold a property for us several years ago and we contacted her again to sell our home in 2021. She is amazing. She walks you through the process, communicates with you through every step and responds to questions or concerns within the hour. She also helped us find resources such as quality movers, repair professionals, and cleaning. Sarah made selling and moving a smooth and seamless process. Our home sold in 3 days and closed within 30 days. It was such a pleasure working with her!!!!! Considering the stress of moving that is what makes Sarah amazing!!!!!!

ZillowVERIFIED Sarah is amazing! We had another realtor before and the experience was night and day. Extremely responsive and knowledgeable. Never made us feel like any of our requests or questions were silly. And even though we know she had other clients, we always felt like we were the priority. Always knew we could count on her. Closed on our first home just this month! Would HIGHLY recommend Sarah.

ZillowVERIFIED Sarah was a referral from a friend that had nothing but great things to say about her. He used the phrase detail oriented to describe her. Sarah was super helpful throughout the whole process. She kept us informed at every stage of the selling process and addressed all of our concerns. She was easy to get a hold of and always responded quickly. We were never kept in the dark of what was going on. She really looked out for our best interest. To top it all off, she helped us sell the house way above asking price. THANK YOU SARAH!

ZillowVERIFIED Sarah is a top agent in San Diego and when you work with her you get HER. She has a team behind her but give you full access and holds your hand from start to finish. Her absolute best traits are that she wont let you overpay or make a bad investment, she has a lightning fast response rate, and she REALLY knows her stuff. She lives and breathes real estate and her clients majorly benefit from it. I will always be thankful to Sarah for negotiating our dream home!

Review for Member: Sarah Messali
ZillowVERIFIED Sarah has been a breath of fresh air! We sold our home back in July 2020 and have been looking for a house with the same realtor that sold our home. After 5-6 months of looking for a home, we needed a change. We were referred to Sarah through a coworker and couldnt be any happier with the decision to move forward with her. Sarahs attention to detail throughout the whole house buying process was the best! She actually listened to what our wants were. She didnt just set us up with an automated MLS search and waited for us to call her to look at homes we were interested in. She actually made some recommendations based on the criteria we spoke about. That extra attention is lost now days in the real estate industry. She is very thorough in documentation! If you need extra explanation or have any questions regarding a document, shes more than willing to assist. She has a background working with legal documentation in a law firm, so she has that extra attention youre looking for. Communication was our favorite aspect of Sarah. Text messages, calls, emails, all her responses were thorough and on time. She gave us great input from her years of experience so that we could make educated decisions on the home, all while, letting us know that shell move forward with any decision we decide to make. It actually felt like she was making the purchase with us and not just using us as a way to increase her yearly pay. In December 2020 we closed on our home, in the neighborhood we wanted to live in, thanks to Sarah. This is our 2nd home and we can honestly say that she has been the best agent weve worked with and would refer her to anyone seller or buying. Thanks Sarah!

ZillowVERIFIED Look no further for a real estate professional. Sarah defines the word professional. She puts all your needs to the forefront, no matter how many people she is working with. She is a wealth of information, is not pushy, and will truly do what is best for you and your wants or needs. I have sold two properties with her and have bought three. We finally landed our dream home and she was integral in that process. We are beyond grateful for Sarah and what she has done for us.

ZillowVERIFIED My husband had to sell his fathers house after he passed away, a friend of ours referred Sarah to us. From the moment we met her we instantly felt in good hands. Sarah knew what we were going through and was very compassionate and so very helpful to us throughout the entire process. The house was listed and within one week Sarah had offers for us to go over. We live in Northern Calif. but Sarah made the whole transaction seamless. We truly could not have done this without her. Sarah is very knowledgeable, professional , patient and kind. I wish she worked in Northern Calif.

ZillowVERIFIED Sarah was recommended to me by a close friend. Last year we planned on buying and ended up backing out. She worked hard for us and was always kind and helpful even when we decided against buying. A year later we saw a house we wanted and were under contract in less than a day. She is amazing. We could not be more pleased with her work as our agent and will use her if we buy or sell again in San Diego.

ZillowVERIFIED My husband and I are SO grateful for all the hard work and time that Sarah put into getting our home sold! We had an offer on our very first day on the market, with additional offers coming in on day two. We sold our house for over asking price, and the whole process was quick and painless thanks to Sarah managing everything every step of the way. I know without a doubt we wouldn?t have had the same outcome with anyone else. She goes above and beyond with marketing, making sure to reach as many people as possible, and her negotiating expertise is so very valuable. This is our second time working with Sarah, and both times have been truly amazing experiences. We look forward to continuing our relationship with Sarah as we start our next house hunting adventure!

ZillowVERIFIED Weve known Sarah for a long time, but this was our first time working with her as our agent, and she blew us away. She was not only courteous and professional, but she went out of her way to make us feel like we were her only clients. She responds to email, text and phone calls promptly and is always professional and ready to offer advice should we ask for it. I would highly recommend Sarah and her team, she helped us sell our condo and negotiate a rent back so we could focus on finding the perfect home. If youre thinking about using Sarah and her team, do it, you wont regret it.

ZillowVERIFIED Sarah was SUPER professional and honest! We had used other agents in previous sales and purchases and we never felt like we were taken care of. Sarah goes above and beyond from start to finish. She even answered questions about my house I was selling with another agent in a different state. From the moment escrow started she had my checklist of what to expect through the process and was always flexible with schedule and always willing to be available for questions. Sarah is top notch and we will use her again and refer ALL of our friends to her. Thanks Sarah!!!

Review for Member: Sarah Messali
ZillowVERIFIED This was our third real estate purchase, so we have dealt with real estate agents before. Sarah was by far the best. We worked with her for about a year because it took us a long time to finalize our plans for moving. She was showing us properties even before we were ready to buy. By the time we were ready to commit we had a good feel for the market. She spent a lot of time working with us even before we were sure we were moving. When the time came to get serious about buying, her and her staff were amazing. When we started making offers she clearly knew what she was doing and gave us great advice. We were considering renovating a house, and she found us a builder to look at the house before making an offer to estimate costs. She took care of this herself while we were out of town. We found a great property at a good price. Once we had a offer accepted she was really on top of things, making sure everything needed was in place. There were a lot of hoops to jump through, but she kept everything moving smoothly. We could not have done it without her.

ZillowVERIFIED Working with Sarah to sell my condominium was great in every way. She was very knowledgeable about the process, and a true professional. She was great at answering my questions, and kept me informed through every step and let me know what to expect. She worked efficiently, and I was able to get above listing price and the property was even able to close early. It was a smooth process to work with her and her team. I highly recommend her.

ZillowVERIFIED Sarah handled both the sale of our condo in Rancho Bernardo and the purchase of our new home in Valley Center. She walked us through every step and did an amazing job for us on both ends. Our condo was listed at noon on a Sunday and we had 6 offers (all above the listed price) by Monday night. We are still working through a delayed escrow on our new place due to construction and SDGE issues, but Sarah has helped us work through every issue so far and I would give her and her team my highest recomendation.

ZillowVERIFIED There was no reason to look for other prospective agents once we met Sarah Davis! She represented our family in the listing and sale of a home. Sarah is a highly skilled professional who values her relationship with clients and the team of consultants (i.e., escrow, title, lender, contractors) she uses to complete a transaction. Sarah is an excellent communicator and a great listener - - she pays attention to and remembers client preferences. She is friendly, respectful, and easy to talk to. Sarah is a strong negotiator, and takes pride in a job well done. She is a master at coordinating all facets of a transaction, and works conscientiously to keep everything on track. If we find ourselves in the real estate market again in the future, Sarah will definitely be our agent of choice !

Sarah is very efficient and thorough. In 4 days on the market, she helped us to get $30,000.00 over our asking price. She is a very pleasant person and it was a pleasure working with her. We would definitely recommend her to anyone.

Review for Member: Sarah Messali
ZillowVERIFIED Sarah Davis is THE agent in San Diego if you want to get your dream home. She helped us find the house that fit our criteria as it listed and made appointments to view it the next day. After we placed our initial offer, the sellers made a multiple counter at highest and best. Sarah advised us and helped us make our OWN decision for the final offer. In the end, we beat out 14 other offers. The listing agent later told that our offer stood out as the strongest of the bunch throughout the entire process. This is was only accomplished through Sarahs tenacity and constant communication with the listing agent. After the acceptance, Sarah continued to advise and bring expert inspectors for any concerns we had about the property. Based on the findings of the inspections, she continued to negotiate on our behalf with the sellers. Her constant availability and follow us never left us hanging. If you are looking for an honest adviser, an experienced negotiator, and a successful agent, look no further.

ZillowVERIFIED Sarah helped us purchase our very first home. She always made herself available when house hunting, even if she has less than 24 hrs notice. She patiently walked us through every step of the home buying process. Never once did she pressure us into making any decisions. She is always available via text, telephone or email and responds back to us in a timely manner. Sarah is very knowledgeable and understands the current real estate market/trends. We are grateful to have Sarah represent us. She made the house buying process a lot less stressful and overwhelming. She consistently kept us informed and reached out to the listing agent with our inquiries. Thank you Sarah! Whether you are selling or buying, contact Sarah. You will not regret it!

ZillowVERIFIED Sarah was so crucial in the ease and satisfaction of my and my fiances buying process! As first time buyers, Sarah was able to assuage our nervousness and uncertainty. She is extremely organized, helpful, and responsive. She answered all of our questions, offered advice when appropriate, and was highly communicative about where we were in the process and communications with sellers and our loan provider. Whenever we had any questions, Sarah would respond quickly, or offer times shed be available. She was able to break each step of the process down for us and was good at checking in on progress on our end, as well as with the other stakeholders. She was also able to provide information about all the different neighborhoods we considered, as well as several trusted contractors whenever we were considering any renovations. She is very kind, friendly, and a joy to work with. I cannot recommend Sarah highly enough!

She was with us throughout the entire process and was very involved, even through escrow. We could not have wished for a better agent to be on our side! We will definitely call her when we are ready to purchase our next home and will not hesitate to recommend her to family and friends. Thanks Sarah!

Not once did we feel pressured, unsure or confused. She has promptly answered any questions we have had and has honestly made the process much less stressful than we had anticipated.

ZillowVERIFIED Sarah recently helped sell our house in Poway as part of a relocation. She could not have been more responsive and professional, both in how she supported us and how she dealt with the relocation agents. Her strategy for listing and marketing our house was very effective. We were able to get full asking price within 7 days from listing. She did not hand us off to Escrow to complete the transaction, but rather continued to help move the sale through Escrow. Thank you Sarah!

ZillowVERIFIED My wife and I recently moved from Texas to the greater San Diego area and we utilized Sarah Davis as our Real Estate Agent. To say my wife and I are impressed is an understatement. Our experience with Sarah was nothing short of professional: Sarahs attentiveness, due diligence, ability to empathize and sympathize with both our needs/wants and desires to close within a certain time frame were second-to-none. Moreover, her attention to detail and ability to connect with you both personally and professionally set us at ease and we were able to close within 21 days. Without her services I dont think we would have executed our ability to successfully close in the time frame we wanted. Lastly...her recommendations from loan officers to general contractors are spot on! Shall my wife and I ever move...Sarah will be the first one we call!

ZillowVERIFIED After 25 years and 10 months being a landlord, we finally decided to sell our rental on a 1031 Exchange. Sarah Davis is highly recommended by my daughter Emily - who went to the same school. Sarah is very humble, honest, trustworthy, flexible and most of all very knowledgeable. We even held our meetings in our home. She provided us with timeline of events and even resources like house cleaners and termite inspectors. When the listings was put up, in 3 days she has 6 offers - and all of them above the asking price. No wonder she was voted the NO. 1 best real estate agent in San Diego. If you are going to buy or sell house, DO YOURSELF A FAVOR ask Sarah Davis to help you.

ZillowVERIFIED We were moving 2500 miles from our previous residence and needed to find a home in the 10-days we were in San Diego. Sarah could not have been more accommodating to our needs. She showed us many homes all over N. San Diego County. We found the home we really wanted. Sarah advised us as to what price we should offer and it was accepted. We now live in that home and could not be more pleased. I could not recommend Sarah any higher, she is a pleasure to work with!

ZillowVERIFIED Sarah not only provided sage advice throughout the entire listing process, but also provided invaluable strategical advice when it came time to accept an offer. Living out of the area, I sincerely could not have sold my home without her help, especially when we ran into some unexpected issues during escrow. I could always count on her to respond to my calls, emails, or text almost immediately.
