She has successfully guided clients through every type of market cycle, from booming highs to challenging downturns, as well as the unique coastal factors that shape this region.

Originally from the thoroughbred horse country of central Kentucky, Sarah was raised with strong Southern values rooted in integrity, hard work, and genuine hospitality.

For Sarah, real estate is not just about transactions—it is about building lasting connections.
Outside of real estate, Sarah enjoys spending time on the water, fishing, exploring antiques, and planning her next adventure. She is also a proud mother of two accomplished sons, Robert and Preston.
