Outstanding in every way

Sara was an absolute pleasure to work with. Her market knowledge of the Mt Eden area is second to none and her experience made the whole process of selling an absolute breeze. The outcome at auction exceeded all of our expectations. Above all, Sara was honest and showed real integrity throughout the process. She works incredibly hard and we felt 100% confident that no stone had been left unturned come auction day. Sara was communicative and really went above and beyond. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her - she is a true leader in her field and a genuinely lovely person to work with.

We have just successfully completed our third real estate transaction with Sara Knight, having been both buyers and sellers. Sara has an amazing ability to be both friendly and relaxed with people as well as being a master of all the detail. Our recent house marketing campaign was a huge success thanks to Sara’s relentless enthusiasm and going the extra mile in every respect. Our marketing materials were gorgeous - Sara has great relationships with photographers, videographers and printers to ensure the very best presentation possible. Our marketing cost was low and we received huge coverage for the money spent.

Sara is so responsive to buyers and to us as sellers, reporting back verbally after every open home or viewing and a comprehensive report presented to us every week of the campaign. We felt supported and encouraged that Sara would get the very best result possible, which is exactly what happened. We definitely wouldn’t choose anyone else for any future real estate marketing.

We engaged Sara to sell our home in Mount Eden and she worked collaboratively with us from the outset. During the preparation phase, there were a number of decision points, all of which Sara gave us clear, sound advice. The preparation took us longer than expected. There were opportunities where a salesperson of lesser integrity may have encouraged us to take a quicker or easier path to close a sale in a shorter time. Sara was patient, worked with us and encouraged us to take our time, be thorough and get it right to maximise value. There is no question that paid dividends later. The marketing process was professionally run and efficient. Significant interest in the property was generated, buyer feedback was clear and honest, and she made the process easy. Selling a family home is something of an emotional journey and we felt very comfortable dealing with Sara. She went the extra mile for us on many occasions, and we were never left in any doubt that she was acting for us and that our interests as sellers came first. The result was an outstanding result for us on auction day. We would highly recommend Sara to prospective vendors.

We recommend Sara to help sell your home!

We approached Sara to sell our home as she had recently sold a home nearby. Sara was down-to-earth, friendly and very professional. She kept us up-to-date without being overly intrusive and was also realistic with market expectations. We'd recommend Sara to help sell your home.

We found Sara to be a true professional whose dedication to the sale process was top class!

I guess we all look for different values and capabilities in our real estate salesperson when it comes time to sell or buy. For us, we wanted integrity and professionalism. Recently when we were ready to sell our Mt Eden home of 20 plus years, we felt sure we wanted someone we could entrust the entire selling process to - someone we could expect to deliver on the promise of hassle-free selling where we could stayed involved and not have to do too much running around. Subconsciously, we never thought it was possible. With Sara Knight, it was! The entire process was seamless and trouble-free, all thanks to Sara’s superb organisational skills and her access to quality people to help with the property preparation, staging, promotion and a bunch of other stuff we didn’t even we know we had to do. Sara was highly recommended by our friends and comes with impeccable credentials. Sara was professional and straight-up right through the entire journey. She’s a very good planner and worked tirelessly on the project and met every deadline we jointly set. Sara’s deep industry experience helped us tremendously in setting expectations about the market and buying current buying patterns. Her mastery of digital channels for selling and promotion is impressive. Sara’s enthusiasm is contagious, and she relates amazingly well to buyers, always keeping the prospects warm. As to dedication and commitment, Sara was personally present in every single open home in its entirety which we had great feedback on. We had a very good result with our sale, all thanks to Sara. We actually even enjoyed it! And yes, we absolutely will recommend Sara to be your salesperson!

Top Real Estate Salesperson

Most of us love our homes as it’s an extension of who we are. So when your home is considered less than desirable, it’s like your child getting a bad report card from one of the two sought-after schools in the double Grammar zone. My home was considered by most to be beautifully designed, decorated and well kept but suffered the indignity of having the dreaded “plaster cladding", which meant that even in the double Grammar zone it was difficult to find a buyer who would pay what I considered a respectable sum for my home. I approached Sara Knight because I had noticed her activities in my neighborhood and heard she was a professional sort. On her first visit, I knew I had found the right person to sell my home. She was very professional and honest in her assessment and expectations. I felt I had known her forever as she made me feel at ease and confident that she would get my price with the right marketing strategy. To her word, she got to work with her team and set in motion a marketing campaign that was very successful in attracting the right people that could see the value in my property. At the end of the campaign my house sold under the hammer for more than my set price. Sara did a fantastic job, in not just the marketing of my property, but keeping me up-to-date on what was happening with feedback from prospective buyers and current market analysis. At the end, I was very happy with the job Sara did and considered myself fortunate to have had her as my salesperson. I would recommend Sara to anyone wanting to sell their treasured home as she is great value for the money and if I had to do it all over again she would be my first call.

From our first meeting with Sara, she came across as competent and very personable.

Sara has extensive experience and knowledge of the local market and was able to answer our questions and reassure us at each stage of the selling process. She guided us on the marketing and helped us to feel confident about preparing our home for selling in a highly unpredictable market. She updated us regularly after each open home and provided us with written reports so as to keep us up-to-date with potential interest in our property.

Leading up to the auction date, Sara discussed with us possible strategies for coping with different outcomes. Despite the actual sale being stressful - we always felt we were fully informed and supported by Sara and the Barfoot & Thompson team. We highly recommend Sara to potential vendors who are looking for a professional and supportive salesperson.
