Meet Sarah

Sarah is a 5th-generation East Bay local with widespread connections and knowledge of the communities she has lived in.

Born and schooled in Oakland she later moved to Albany where she and her contractor husband raised 4 children. As a top-producing agent she sold over $50 million in real estate in 2021 and consistently ranks in the top 30 agents in the area. She splits her efforts between buyers and sellers, finding that maintaining current knowledge of both sides of the transaction gives her real-world insight and immensely improves the outcome for her clients. From the first meeting onward she is teaching and her passion for educating her clients is apparent in the many reviews and referrals she receives.

Doggedly determined to pass along her knowledge of structures, home improvement, design, and strategy she is seemingly limitless in the time and energy she shares with her clients. Knowing that trust is at the core of a positive outcome she fosters strong bonds with her clients and colleagues and has found that humor is the best remedy for what can be an intense experience for both buyers and sellers. Sarah’s clients stay in her life for many years after the escrow closes and she likes it that way! Sarah has a wide breadth of life experience that culminated in her chosen career in real estate. Married almost 30 years to her contractor husband she has absorbed tremendous knowledge of the construction trades while running his business.

Prior to that she and her mother ran her Grandmother’s company, The Body Shop, a Bay Area landmark which operated in an eco-fashion long before that was the style. Along the way she dabbled in landscape design and doula work - both areas of interest to this day. Her four children bring her tremendous joy and range in age from 26 to 14. All of this life experience, from construction to gardening, birth work to retail business seems custom fit for assisting buyers and sellers in the massive life transition of home sales. Sarah derives deep satisfaction in being useful to others, finding that life’s meaning is derived from this one simple act. To learn more about Sarah, please visit sarahridgerealtor.com.
