Testimonials

Moving to a new house before selling the old one can be stressful and requires a lot of juggling. Sarina made sure to guide us through the process and helped us position the property, in the best way possible. She is very connected with other brokers and has in-depth knowledge when it comes to the entire transaction including legal matters, inspection and more! We cannot thank her enough for making this challenging process at times very pleasant and stress free.

Sarina is a person who has high professional standards, and is rigorous and detail-oriented. This meant that we were able to trust her advice about the housing market and about our specific search in Newton. Sarina introduced us to a home that was not yet being publicly marketed. We submitted an offer and it was accepted. We decided to work with Sarina to sell our condominium in Coolidge Corner. She set the ambitious goal of trying to sell the apartment by the date of the Newton purchase. She carefully assessed the Brookline condo market and also connected us with a company that helped to pack up our somewhat cluttered home and arrange it for sale as quickly as possible. Thanks to Sarina, who skillfully navigated us through two competing offers, we were able to get an excellent price for our condo. The sale proceeded smoothly and we were able to close on the sale of our condo the day before closing on purchase of the Newton house.

Sarina proved herself as a serious, well connected, very knowledgeable and great communicator buyer broker, one that you can totally trust to advice and assist in the best interest of her clients, discrete while driving to provide the best outcome and clean completion of the process.
Purchasing a house is the most important decision for a couple and especially with kids, and as such is stressful. Sarina knows how to relieve this stress, always with a smile, always with the right attitude and advice, made the process easier than expected. She was instrumental during the purchase and sale negotiation phase and demonstrated a unique talent of reading between the lines, feel the pulse of both sides, providing the right recommendations to bridge between cultures and getting to an agreement that will be satisfactory for both parties. She continued accompany us during the mortgage phase, worked with the closing lawyers, final walk through and including at the closing day in which she was present to make sure all goes smoothly. We recommend her in the highest respect and feel that we gained a family friend for life.

Working with Sarina was a pleasure. She quickly responded to my emails and phone calls, making me feel as though I were her only client. She gave suggestions on preparing my house for sale, and it was sold very quickly.

Sarina is one of the most amazing Real Estate Professionals I know. She knows the Newton Real Estate market inside and out. She not only helped us find our dream home but she also helped us sell our home. We met her five years ago when we started to think about moving to a new home but knew it likely would not be imminent as we loved our home and neighborhood. However, we knew eventually we would outgrow our home and thus gave her a list of criteria we wanted for our next home. It was a very specific list that was not easy to find in the Newton Market. Over the past few years I would constantly look at the Newton Listings she would send weekly and every time I found a home I thought I might like, she would happily show it to us and give us her honest thoughts about the property. Sarina became more than our Real Estate Agent she became part of our family. She knew my children and lifestyle and kept watchful eye on what was coming to Market and what we may like. It was not until this past spring that we really started to become more serious about finding our next home. One day in June she called me and said she just came from a Brokers open house and found our ideal home. At first I thought really, I don’t even like stucco but she encouraged us to just take a look and I immediately fell in love with the property. It really met all of our moving criteria. However, now that we found our ideal new home we had to sell our old home. Sarina was so helpful and knowledgeable about putting our house on the Market. She sold our home in less than 2 weeks. The entire process was flawless because of Sarina. We have been in our new home for 4 months and every day I think to myself how much I love our new home. We could not have found it without Sarina. We would highly recommend her for buying or selling a house. She is the most wonderful, kind, smart and honest Real Estate Professional I have ever worked with. We would highly recommend her and unfortunately because she found our dream home will not need to work with her again anytime soon. So, if you are looking to sell or buy your next home go with Sarina.

Our family had been looking for a single family house for quite some time. Upon recommendation from a friend, we had called Sarina of William Raveis to ask to be our realtor. She was a joy to work with. She is talented, dedicated, charming, and is very familiar with Newton properties. As this was our first home purchase, she helped us walk through the process every step of the way, guiding us whenever we had questions. We are thrilled with our new home and equally thrilled to have purchased our home with the help from Sarina!

We were thrilled with our experience working with Sarina Steinmetz. From start to finish we felt that we were in the hands of a consummate professional with a keen understanding of the Real Estate market that allowed us to maximize the value of our home. Throughout the process, Sarina was attentive to every detail allowing us to navigate the inevitable complications that arise with ease. We highly recommend Sarina for a professional and personal experience."

I had a wonderful buying experience with Sarina. Her knowledge of the market and different neighborhoods was excellent. She provided consistently valuable advice throughout my entire transaction. I highly recommend her to anyone looking in the Newton market.

We first met Sarina when we were buyers and she was representing the seller. Her level of integrity and professionalism was so impressive to us that we knew when the time came to sell our house she would be our first choice. From the moment we engaged Sarina in the sale of our home she extended herself far beyond any realistic expectation you should have of a realtor. She treated every member of our family like family, and she made sure that she was in the picture at the most stressful points in the process. Acting as a dual agent she facilitated a relationship between us and our buyer that made it feel like we were passing our home off to a friend. There was nothing uncomfortable about having her represent both sides because as you get to know Sarina, you learn that you can trust her implicitly. She truly has everyone’s best interest at heart. We loved working with her so much we might just move back to Newton to do it again. We began recommending her to friends from the moment we met her, and will continue to do so whenever we have the chance!"
