Thinking of selling your home? Are you a little nervous about pricing, understanding the process or choosing an agent? 

The team of Sara Driscoll and Daryl Petsch is one of excellence. The service they provide is unparalleled. They take the stress out of buying and selling. We have used them more than once in the selling and purchasing of properties and we have never been disappointed. They watch over every detail of the process and stay one step ahead to avoid any “surprises.” Sara was always available when we needed something and was a fabulous resource for things like moving companies, cleaning services, etc. Sara and Daryl truly partner with their clients and work exceptionally hard to get the best deal possible. They have great strategies for selling a home quickly and for top dollar. And their negotiation skills are amazing. If you are in the market for buying or selling a home, you want Sara and Daryl working for you. You simply cannot do better than choosing this team. We unequivocally recommend Sara Driscoll and Daryl Petsch for any real estate needs.

Sara and Daryl are absolutely amazing. We first met them many years ago as the seller's agents when we purchased our home. We were impressed by their professionalism, knowledge, and friendliness. When it came time to sell our house, Sara and Daryl were the first ones we contacted and they made the entire process incredibly easy. It can be pretty intimidating dealing with all the paperwork, procedures, and bureaucracy associated with selling your home but Sara handled almost everything. She explained and set up the details of the things we had to handle which made it a pleasant experience. The only downfall of working with Sara and Daryl is that they set a bar so high, in terms of professionalism and expertise, they make working with anyone else a disappointment in comparison. When we purchased our new house, my wife and I were let down that the seller's agent couldn't provide the same level of service. We constantly said to ourselves, "Sara wouldn't have done that" or "Sara and Daryl would have taken care of that."If you are in the housing market, either buying or selling, go with Sara and Daryl. They are great!

I met Sara & Daryl years ago and was so impressed by them I kept their contact info in case I ever needed a realtor. The time came this year to buy a house and I called them right away and was not disappointed. I honestly cannot say anything but great things about Sara & Daryl. They are absolute stand outs in all categories. I have moved many times in my life and no one comes close to touching their level of professionalism and knowledge. There were some issues with the house I was buying and the agent on the other side was very inexperienced. But Sara and Daryl solved every issue we encountered. They have great people skills. I think they are very adept negotiators. They readily interacted with a number of people (mortgage broker, inspectors, contractors, realtors) with integrity and finesse. As a single parent I had such little time to devote to the purchasing process. Sara and Daryl totally held my hand through each step. I could reach them very quickly. They were incredibly attentive to every detail. It was a huge relief having them on my side. I cannot even imagine using another realtor in the future. I would highly, highly recommend them. They are truly top notch!

I barely knew Sara and Daryl when I hired them to sell my home. A friend who knew them professionally referred them to me. We had been looking for an agent to represent us for almost a year when we sat down with Sara and Daryl. We were finally ready to sell our unique luxury home and 15 acre property in Poway, CA, and Sara and Daryl were more than ready to take us on as clients. Communication is the key to a productive client/agent relationship. My husband and I had already moved out of the area, so I greatly appreciated Sara’s “real time” communications during our selling process. Emails, text messages, and phone calls, back and forth assured that we knew what was going on at all times. We relied on Sara diligently screening all prospective buyers, and then Daryl’s personal, by appointment only, showings. The dynamic duo exhibited the utmost care and respect to us and our home every step of the way. Fast forward to results: Our home sold after just two weeks on the market. During that whirlwind two weeks, Sara and Daryl navigated us through three offers, ultimately negotiating the final offer, cash sale for our desired asking price. Plus, they secured a back-up offer in the event that our original sale fell through during escrow.Sara and Daryl’s exceptional market knowledge and experience, customer service, personal integrity, negotiating skills, attention to details, natural intuition, teamwork, and pleasantry all played key roles in the success we achieved during our entire sales process, from listing to closing. I highly recommend Sara and Daryl, and maybe like me, you will not only successfully sell your home, but you will also gain two new friends.

I don't usually write reviews, but I had to for S+D. They are just that amazing! I've worked with S+D on two home purchases and would not consider working with anyone else. As a team, they are extremely complimentary. They are patient and professional and take all of the emotion out of what can be a stressful process. When it comes to negotiation time, let them guide you.

We have used Sara and Daryl TWICE to both buy and sell a home in California. They are very knowledgeable of the area and go the extra millet help find homes that are perfect for the buyers. On the other side of the spectrum, they were equally as fantastic in helping us to sell both homes. They provided so much experience in staging our home to sell for the best price, establishing the price point that would enable us to sell and sell quickly, and they got us excellent prices on our homes. Again, they went above and beyond to be our advocate in the selling process and to advise us during negotiations. Because of their expertise, we received offers almost immediately after our home hit the market and we were able to close very quickly. We would HIGHLY recommend this team to anyone who is buying a home or wanting to sell! They are absolutely fantastic!

I have used Sara and Daryl, for buying 2 homes and selling of another. In each situation, they did what was best for my needs. They listen to you closely and best align you with what is needed to accomplish whatever house buying/selling goals you may have. They never push you in any way. They advise on what you might want advice on, and make sure you are completely happy with the decision made. They cover all the in's and out's of buying/selling to ensure there are no gotcha's. I strongly recommend them and will be using them again no doubt.

Sara and Daryl were a true pleasure to work with, and they made the process of buying our first home as smooth and seamless of a experience as possible. We found them through Zillow based on their stellar reviews, and we were so glad we took this chance. They were willing to meet us on a moment's notice, and they happily provided us with the "lay of the land", and never stopped working for us at all hours of the day. We knew they had our best interests at heart, and they helped us find our very first home. We are so happy, and we couldn't have done this without their help! Highly recommended!

We’ve worked with Sara & Daryl for 10 years. We relocated to San Diego, Daryl helped us find 2 rentals to learn the area. When we were ready to buy, they helped us find a PERFECT home. They heard our needs & found us the home of our dreams.Six years later, we were relocating cross country. Now we get to use them in a selling capacity. Sara guided us through what needed to be, and WAS, a fast, easy sale. She took the lead — from initial talks, prepping, contractors, listing, selling, closing. Each step was flawless. PricingThis is key. When you first meet with Sara (& Daryl), they will explain how they use range pricing. You will say “that makes NO sense.”. You will. TRUST ME, they are RIGHT. I was skeptical, apprehensive, & argumentative at times, but Sara used her professional approach and years of experience to not only explain the use of range pricing (this is important) IN A WAY THAT I UNDERSTOOD, then proceeded to explain why it was the best option for us. She said the choice was ours as to what our range was, but her recommendation was based on facts, figures, and experience. I still fought her. I wanted higher. Again, she explained WHY range pricing worked the way it worked, and WHY she suggested the range that she did, and HOW that would NET US THE PRICE WE WANTED IN THE END. Know this. It WILL NOT MAKE SENSE, but IT WILL WORK! I promise you, second guess all you want, and second guess HER, she will take all the time you need, explain it to you in 19982 different ways, answer your same questions over and over, and she will GET YOU YOUR PRICE. In the end, TRUST HER. She knows what she’s doing, I promise.Initial ConversationsSara came to the home, evaluate pros/cons, & devise a plan. She was thorough in her prep and didn’t rush us. She presented facts, figures, ideas. Her attention to detail is unmatched. Her forethought is key, making for smooth sailing.PrepOur home was in great shape, but wanted to ensure we were set up for a fast sale. We made efforts to ensure our home hit the market “move in ready”. They did a thorough walkthrough — inside & out — and presented a proposal of items they recommended touching up, repairing, highlighting, giving an explanation for each & why they felt it was in our best interest, even if at an additional expense. We went forward with nearly all of their recommendations. ContractorsSara helped us secure contractors, those with which she worked on many occasions & felt their quality of craftsmanship was second to none. She has identified the best in the area. Not only was the work superior, but also timely, and costs were fair. She managed most of it as we had moved! She went WAY above & FAR beyond her call of duty. Our home looked stunning & inviting to any prospective buyer.ListingShe saw a window to list to capture the market at the right time. Our professional photos were scheduled but she took some (excellent) photos herself, & listed the home. Within hours we had activity! She soon added the (excellent) professional photos. Fast & furious made for immediate showings. Despite the constant activity and the fact that Sara probably had many clients, she ALWAYS made us feel like we were her one & only!! OUT OF ALL SHE PROVIDES, THIS ONE FACT STANDS OUT MORE THAN ANY. Sara will make you feel like you are the only client she has, and she’s dedicated 100% to you. That alone is worth every penny. I still don’t know how she does it.SellingThe offers started rolling in fast! We needed a fast sale, and we were going to get it. She called, texted, emailed us at hours WE specified (we had a 2 hour time difference), shared information, presented offers. When we needed to discuss offers, counteroffers, accepting offers, she made herself available at times that were convenient to us, and again, always made us feel like we were her only clients. SOLD!We sold our home in 6 days. We got a price we wanted. HIGHER than the top of our range (see Pricing above — see?). We were confident in our buyers, which was important. Not only did we get our price, but we closed fast. Nearly all paperwork was done electronically via DocuSign, which made it so easy, being 2000 miles away. The process was fast, easy, painless, without challenge. SummaryWhat more can I say? Did I “sugarcoat” this? Nope. Not one bit. Did you read any “negative nelly” comments? Nope, because there are none. If I had one negative thing to say it’s only that Sara & Daryl aren’t with us cross country to help us! Truly, they have been a dream to work with — whether renting, buying, selling, talking about the area — you name it. I can’t recommend them enough. Their approach is unique, second to none, there is no disappointment to be had. If you are looking for a team that will meet AND EXCEED your needs, look no further — Sara & Daryl are right under your nose.

We looked for a house on our own for many years with disappointing results. Then we turned to Daryl and Sara and they were able to find us the perfect home at a price within our budget. Daryl and Sara are proactive and professional without ever being pushy. Their knowledge of the market and home quality helped us feel confident in our purchase when the time came. Sara guided us in every step of the home buying process. Daryl and Sara were always available for our random requests and questions making us feel comfortable throughout the process. We would highly recommend Daryl and Sara to anybody looking to buy a home.
