From New York grit to Palm Beach glamour, Sara Schapiro is the relocation expert and listing strategist clients can’t stop recommending.
Sara grew up in Dix Hills, Long Island, where her early years shaped the discipline, energy, and sharp business instincts she is known for today. Coming from a family that owned a successful wood flooring business for over 80 years, Sara credits her sharp business mind and relentless drive to her father’s influence and the generational legacy of entrepreneurship she grew up in.
With over 12 years of real estate experience and more than 60 transactions closed in South Florida sales, Sara is a powerhouse Realtor® specializing in both luxury listings and helping New Yorkers transition seamlessly to life in Florida. As a top relocation expert originally from New York herself, Sara understands exactly what her clients are looking for — because she’s lived it. After making the move in 2017 from Manhattan, she became the go-to for New Yorkers seeking a smooth, elevated transition to South Florida living.
Sara attended the University of Florida, where she earned her Bachelor’s degree in Telecommunications/Journalism, and went on to complete her Master’s degree in Elementary Education at New York University. Before launching her real estate career, she spent seven years as an elementary school teacher, honing patience, adaptability, and the ability to connect with every personality. These skills, paired with her ability to clearly educate clients through every step of the process, make even the most complex deals seamless.
She then spent five years in the competitive Manhattan real estate market, mastering high-stakes negotiations and refining her understanding of luxury living. Today, practicing Real Estate in South Florida since December 2019, she is ranked in the top 8% of buyers’ agents across all firms in South Florida. Sara has built her reputation on exceptional results, great listening skills, and unmatched client service. She also focuses on investment properties, offering clients a strategic edge in wealth-building opportunities. Her achievements include being named Top Luxury Agent in 2023 Production for Keller Williams Reserve, featured as a Rising Star in Real Producers Magazine, and honored as the Rising Star for Keller Williams Reserve in 2021. In September 2025, Sara proudly joined Compass, taking her career to new heights with the backing of one of the most innovative and prestigious brokerages in the industry.
Sara specializes throughout Palm Beach County, with extensive market knowledge of Boca Raton, Jupiter, Palm Beach Gardens, West Palm Beach, and Palm Beach. Having lived in both Boca Raton and Jupiter, she offers her clients an insider’s perspective and unmatched knowledge of these sought-after communities. Known for her “get more bees with honey” motto, she brings collaboration, integrity, and positivity to every deal — a philosophy that’s earned her a fabulous reputation among industry peers.
As both a relocation expert and a strategic listing agent, Sara blends fierce negotiation with cutting-edge marketing. She offers a true concierge service, connecting clients with her network of top mortgage professionals, inspectors, and insurance agents. Her large social media following and vast network guarantee that listings gain maximum exposure to the most qualified buyers.
Many of her clients say she becomes not just their Realtor®, but a trusted friend for life. It’s why so many call her “Happy Schappy.” She will leave you smiling ear to ear!
