A Year In Review

By the Numbers

As I reflect on the business of 2024, I’m proud to say it was a successful year for so many reasons, not only in real estate. I had the privilege of helping 36 clients buy and sell homes, achieving a total sales volume of $33,429,500. What I am most proud of is my Average List Over Sold Price was 9.41% , far surpassing the MLS average of -0.08% under list price.

For the better part of 2024, I was ranked as the #1 Realtor in West Seattle. Only when I moved to Compass this dropped to 3rd (because I wasn’t able to reflect my final 3 sales on the NWMLS, they couldn’t come with me). That’s okay, though, I know the real numbers. These results showcase my dedication to maximizing value for my clients.

Far more importantly, I formed deep relationships with my clients - they turned into fast friends. I was referred 43 times as a result. Many of the sales were new construction homes, families looking to upsize, couples downsizing, rentals being sold, estate sales and vacation properties. Along the way, there were 4 new babies born, 2 weddings celebrated, and 2 couples who moved downtown.

Here is What They Had to Say:

I just finished working with Sarah to both sell and buy a house. I had never sold a home before and she made everything SO easy and understandable. In the end, we sold our old house for above asking price after only 4 days on the market. And we bought our new home, which we love, for under the ask price! She was a professional, wise, and calm guide. Especially in the moments when decisions had to be made quickly, I valued her steadiness. I can’t recommend her enough! Would absolutely work with her again.

I cannot put into words how grateful we are for Sarah during our home buying and selling processes. We are repeat clients of Sarah’s because she is *that* great. Sarah has helped us sell 2 homes and buy 2 homes. She not only knows real estate, she knows people. Sarah sends out regular emails discussing local market conditions, local news stories, and other topics of interest. Her thoughtfulness knows no limits- she has changed my baby’s diaper during an inspection, sent school supplies at the start of school years, anniversary/birthday/graduation cards, etc. Sarah doesn’t just close a deal, she becomes a friend. But the kind of friend who gently tells you to pack all of your personal items away for an open house or that you definitely need to get an inspection. I’m devastated that we moved out of state and won’t be able to buy or sell with Sarah in our future. But I know that I have a friend in her for life.

We recently completed our second sale transaction with Sarah, and, like the previous one, it went exceptionally well. We moved out of state and Sarah took care of everything in our absence - Getting rid of our excess stuff, coordinating a myriad of contractors and doing all of the little things to touch up and place and make it ready for sale. She took care of everything that needed to be dealt with ahead of schedule, and even helped out with little details like coordinating the shipping of our vehicle. We couldn't have been happier with the result and would enthusiastically recommend Sarah for any of your real estate needs!

Sarah did an outstanding job in helping us find and close on our wonderful home. Her keen insight helped us get our offer accepted in a competitive market. She was exceptional at communicating with us through the whole process. She was always there to guide us when we had questions about the homes we were interested in, and we always proceeded with confidence. We are so grateful to have had her on our team, and would work with her in the future!

-Daryl and Matthew - Purchased a home in West Seattle, Spring of 2024

I have lived now in my new neighborhood and home now for about three weeks. I absolutely love my home and I am enjoying fixing it up the way I love to see it. I have met all the neighbors on my street now and they are very friendly and sweet! Every day we go out walking and I just love it. What I love the most is the sun coming up during the morning hours when we are having breakfast and in the evening it’s so peaceful. My hummingbird feeders are out and my musical chimes sound so sweet. I know that I bought the right home! Thank you for your help and support!

Sarah Georger-Clark was a pleasure to work with. She invariably responded quickly to our questions with a range of options from us doing everything, to her and her hand picked group of craftsmen doing everything.

She guided us in making repairs , improvements and staging. She notified us of progress in the work done on our home as well as the offers we got. She got us 7 offers in the first weekend 5 of which were over our asking price and steered us thorough closing.

Sarah, I’ve been seeing all your posts on instagram about the house and i watch the video you sent to my parents. I cried. I’ve had so many memories in that house and i see as two houses. one where I grew up with my grandmother and the other where i spent my high school and college years. we moved around a lot so i never exactly had what you would call a childhood home. But that house was it. it was my childhood. I watched the video and i’ve never seen it look so beautiful. all the feature were still there but it was brighter and i could remember in quick seconds all the memories i had in each room. the bathroom downstairs is where my grandmother hid the giant stuffed gorilla in the shower because i was scared of it. We never found an easter egg my Grandma his one year so keep your eyes open. The downstairs play room was custom painted to look like the top of a castle by a cousin for me and Cypress. I had my first kiss in the driveway.

All these memories made it very hard to part ways and i was not happy about it at first. Seeing the way you handled the house with dignity and care made me so emotional (in a good way). thank you for everything you’ve done for my parents and making sure those memories are cherished and not forgotten, but also making room for new memories for another family.
