I felt a strong professional connection with Sarah from the first time we spoke on the phone. Incredibly knowledgeable about her field, she blew us away time and time again with her strategic advice and consistent communication. Even though I wasn't a home buyer with a large bracket of financial qualification, I never once felt like I wasn't important to Sarah. She treated me like I was a million dollar client and somehow managed to land me my dream home, despite the hurdles and limitations she had with what I was able to afford. I was a first time home buyer living a few provinces over and she provided excellent images and videos of the houses I was interested in (including a detailed commentary regarding the state of the homes as she walked through). There are so many different things happening that you don't expect going into your first home purchase and a lot of people you need to employ. Sarah created my dream team by connecting me to an incredible mortgage broker, tradesmen, and excellent legal professionals. She powered through every obstacle, quickly came up with solutions to potential problems that would arise, consulted the right people as needed. I was so lucky to have found an agent with such passion and dedication to her work. If you've found this woman then don't be stupid and pass her up. I never had one moment of doubt regarding her even when parts of the process were difficult. She's the best of the best and she'll take care of you. Thank you so much, Sarah, for all you did for me. This experience changed my life and that's not an exaggeration.

Sarah exceeded our expectations every step of the way.

Back to our first phone call in March right until we finally moved in a few weeks ago, her warm and empathetic nature made such a difference.

Living in a different province and not being able to see any of the properties in person worried us, so we had to be sure we were working with a realtor we like and truly trusted.

What we appreciated the most was her honesty and the details she pointed out during the virtual visits. This gave a much better representation of the property that we finally decided to make an offer on.

She answered and explained clearly so many real estate terms we were unfamiliar with - this was greatly appreciated. She answered all emails, texts and phone calls promptly.

We are thankful for all the contact numbers she gave us even down to a great vet we needed.

Her genuine care for her clients truly set her apart. We are so grateful for her exceptional service, even our realtor in Montreal was impressed and had already recommended her services.

Thank you Sarah for making our real estate journey to Halifax memorable and successful - we could not have done it without you!

We listed our home with Sarah and purchased our next home with her support, too.

Both transactions involved multiple offers, counter offers, and included complexities that never once seemed to phase her. She was patient, supportive, and attentive through the entire process, from viewing properties for purchase to doing market research on comparable listings, going so far as to visit those open houses herself. As a result of her thorough efforts, we listed at what turned out to be the perfect number, sold at even slightly higher than we all predicted, and the whole thing unfolded exactly as her experience and advice suggested it would.

She kept things as rational and business oriented as they could be for what is a very emotional purchase, and without her advice and ability to see the big picture, we may not have wound up in what we knew all along was our ideal home.

Sarah handled industry professionals involved in our transactions with ease and professionalism. She always kept us informed of the progress, and up to date on interactions.

Sarah's entire team were an added bonus; the staging, the photography, and the team approach to the entire process was extremely valuable.

Ten out of ten, would always recommend.

Sarah was fantastic to work with and we successfully bought a house that and met all our requirements (including budget) in Lake Echo. I had many questions when moving provinces, what to expect, what to find in a home in NS etc. Sarah provided unbiased knowledge about the various locations and needs we may have. I knew right away that I could trust her guidance and recommendations. This was also our first home, so we required that trust and advice. Sarah provided great recommendations for brokers and inspectors, whom we were very happy with. We found our home in 2 weeks. Thank you Sarah!!

Sarah has been the most amazing person throughout our home buying process. I wouldn’t have wanted to share it with anyone else. She is so kind, and she doesn’t push her own ideas, of what she thinks we wanted in a home! She listened to our needs and wants, and she found us the perfect place. I am a worrier when it comes to waiting, and she helped so much by explaining things step by step. I can’t recommend Sarah enough!

I just want to give a big shout out to our Realtor, and new friend Sarah MacDonald. Thanks so much for helping Helen and I find our ocean front dream home. I know it was a challenge at times with Helen and I living literally an ocean apart but you came through. You helped us to negotiate not only the home we ended up buying but the successful backing out from the first house when the seller's became so uncooperative. Your professionalism throughout the process was appreciated. We will certainly pass on your contact information to friends and family who may relocate to the Halifax area. Thanks so, Helen and Adam

Sarah went above and beyond to help us find our first home together. From working with different time zones, to answering countless questions from first time home buyers, Sarah made us feel like we were top priority! 10/10 would work with her again
