Real People Talking About Real Feelings

Sarah helped me find a townhouse in early 2009 in the North Raleigh area. Her buyer's presentation outlined and educated me about the process and she really worked to understand my professional lifestyle needs. This was my first time buying a home and there was a lot to be learned. Sarah helped to step me through all of the items I needed to learn about during the home buying process.

I found a great inspection company, Advantage Inspection, through her service provider list who offered an excellent home warranty program and provided the ease of an online transaction.
Being a single professional, this service certainly reduced the hassle.

Her company even provided a complimentary moving truck for me to use over the weekend; I did not end up having to use a U-Haul! That extra perk, along with her negotiating abilities (that saved $1,000's before closing), made me confident that I had chosen the right home and the right Realtor. I love my new house and I owe that in large part to Sarah!   - C. Aberg 6/10/09

 “Sarah blew me away with her ability to analyze potential investment properties. She really knows her stuff, and she'll be the first one I call when I'm ready to buy again.”

"Working with Sarah Tingen made the process of selling my townhouse very smooth. She is fair, honest, attentive to her clients, and confident in her abilities. My only concern, at first, was her age and experience when compared to other realtors, but upon meeting her the first time, I was very impressed with the work and research she had done on my home and the properties in the area. Due to my job, I was forced to move out of town and felt more than comfortable leaving my home in her capable hands. She took care of all estimates and even picked up the belongings left in my home until I could return to Raleigh after closing. During the whole process, I was in contact with her at least a few times a week for updates and sometimes every day when necessary. She provides an excellent balance between offering advice and allowing you to input your own concerns and feelings on the subject. In the end, my home sold for 5-6% higher than all other realtors I had interviewed were willing to even list it for.

I would highly recommend Sarah to anyone in need of a realtor. "

Recently my husband, Tony, took a job in Raleigh making it necessary for our family to move from Cincinnati.  I was 8 months pregnant and would not be making the move until the baby was born.  My husband was on his own finding our family a new home.  And he needed to do so fast.

Our family had just been relocated to Raleigh, NC from Ohio for a job change. We were working on a pretty short deadline so we contacted Exit Realty First Choice to try and get some assistance finding a rental home.  We were put in touch with Sarah who was very enthusiastic about helping us find a nice place for our family of four to live. A lot of the places we found were already under contract because of the high demand for homes in the area. We were only in town for the weekend and had to return home to tie up some loose ends without having found anything that suited our needs.  We trusted Sarah to find a home on our behalf and she delivered. She urged us to not delay on the process and we are glad we didn’t because the home would most likely have been put under contract and the paperwork took some time to process.

She stayed in close contact with the listing agent and verified the receipt of our paperwork and application process continuously. 

"We found a great home surrounded by good neighbors and a fun community that was close to work."                                                 -The Everitts Delta Ridge 8/3/08
