Sarina Steinmetz

"We worked with Sarina on the sale of our home in Newton, and our experience with her was amazing. Sarina is a fantastic partner; she marketed our home really effectively. Sarina executed a comprehensive plan that resulted in a terrific outcome, and the process went smoothly from start to finish. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sarina to anyone looking to buy or sell in Newton, and if we ever find ourselves in the market again, we'll absolutely be working with her!"
Daniel Jones (Newton)

"Many thanks from all three of us for all your enthusiasm, guidance and hard work! We loved the photographs and the storybook was amazing, our mother's condo had never looked so photogenic... And it was great to bring the sale project to a safe harbour before the end of March, as we had hoped at the start of the process. Great result!"
Mirit Eherenerg (Brookline)

"Sarina in one word: fabulous. We were referred to Sarina when searching for our home because we heard she truly works harder than anyone else in the business. She was experienced, communicative, and understood clearly from the start what her buyers were looking for ? and presented a variety of solutions quickly. When we were ready to jump on something that wasn?t the right fit, she reminded us of our priorities and to be patient ? and ended up helping us to buy a home that was exactly what we had envisioned.

The most impressive part of our experience with Sarina was her relationship skills. She literally knows EVERYONE! She?s cultivated relationships over 25 years and it shows. We would work with Sarina again in a heartbeat ? and would recommend her to anyone looking to buy in the Newton/Brookline/Wellesley/Needham area."
Jen and Bret Clancy (Newton)

"We cannot begin to thank Sarina enough for all of her hard work in getting our home on the market and sold so quickly
(less than 3 months from the time we decided to sell to finish). The fact that it sold at the broker's open house with multiple offers only proves she knows the market. Sarina was always personable, professional, and knowledgeable throughout the process. She listened to our concerns and advised with our needs in mind. Her recommendations for help in preparing the home were invaluable. I'm only sad that we did not get to become better friends because we truly enjoed her wit and
humor through a stressful process."
Sandra McCreary (Newton)

"It was an absolute pleasure working with Sarina! She listened to us, helped us understand the market, and supported us in thinking through what was really important to our family and what we could be flexible on. She helped us navigate a very competitive and fast-moving market, and was by our side through some difficult decisions. Once we found the house we really wanted, she went above and beyond to help us seal the deal despite multiple competitive offers. She continued to support us through the whole process, connecting us with inspectors and other vendors, tracking down documents at City Hall, managing conflicts among the lawyers, and more. We're still amazed and thankful that we were able to buy a house we love in the location we wanted in such a crazy market, and it's all thanks to Sarina - we can't recommend her enough!"

Sonia and Joel (Newton)

"Sarina helped us to sell our home and she was exceptional.
Our home was beautiful, but unique, and it required a special buyer. Sarina understood this immediately, and she truly captured the essence of our home in her pictures and marketing material. Then, Sarina really went to work. She found us the perfect buyers, who fell in love with our home. With her guidance, knowledge and experience, the rest of the transaction proceeded quickly and with no surprises. She even recommended people to assist with the packing and the move.
We were thrilled with the process and with Sarina and we recommend her unequivocally.
"
Diana and Jack (Newton)

"Sarina was the constant professional through this crazy housing market. I felt like she really took the time to really listen and I never felt pressured. I would highly recommend her if you?re searching for your forever home!"
Sonia J (Newton)

"Sarina is a fantastic agent. This is our second time working with her- She found us our first condo and then our second home. She helped us navigate buying in a challenging and competitive market and her advice and charisma helped us to get the house of our dreams. She knows the area and market extremely well. She is very smart, savvy, and so much fun to hang with!"
Tania B. and Yoni B. (Needham)

"We used Sarina to sell our house this spring - it?s the same house she helped us purchase 12 years ago! We loved working with her, appreciate her patience and how much time and she gave us. Her advice was so valuable and the transaction was incredibly smooth because of her hard work. She helped us find our forever home last year, and we highly recommend her! Sarina, you are the best!"
Shira and Mark R. (Newton)

"We had a great experience with William-Raveis. We were moving to MA from Florida, which is a daunting task, and this housing market is so crazy that we thought it was going to be impossible to find a home. Sarina listened to us and got to know us as a family which allowed her to find the right home for us. She knows the market very well and definitely advocates for her clients."
Erin and Juan Varela (Medfield)

"Sarina Steinmetz is a person who has high professional standards, and who 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?s involvement did not end with the closings. She recommended a vendors for various needs in the new house. After comparing several quotes, we went with each of these companies and were very satisfied with the quality of the work they did. Her interest beyond the sale illustrates what an enthusiast she is. We feel very fortunate to have made contact with Sarina. Her warmth, savvy and sincerity shine through in every interaction we have with her. We are looking forward to staying in touch with her in the future!

Scully (Newton)

"There is a certain brilliance to Sarina's approach. She KNOWS the Newton market and was able to work the process to land us our much sought-after dream house. I am still amazed that we got it! In a day and age where everything is moving to online and automated, Sarina proves that there is still a lot of value in personal touch and local know-how."
Samantha S. (Newton)

"Working with Sarina, we felt that we were in the best possible hands. She is very well connected and was able to give us the inside scoop about listings we were interested in due to her relationships with the local listing brokers. She was also able to show us homes before they even came to the market ? which was a great advantage in this very difficult market for buyers. Her savvy in helping us find a home would have been enough alone to consider her an outstanding agent ? but she did not stop there. Sarina continued to go above and beyond for us even after we had an accepted offer. Sarina visited city hall to find obscure documents we needed, graciously accommodated the meeting times we requested (including very early morning), and put together an extensive list of home vendors for us, and so on. We would not hesitate to recommend Sarina wholeheartedly."
Emily and David M. (Newton)

"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.
"
Maayan and Tal (Newton)

"Sarina was just great. She really wanted to know what our objectives were and never pushed her own opinions on us. She helped us through the whole process of selling our house from beginning to end and was just super. Would recommend her highly to anyone wanting to buy or sell a house."
Pam and Igor S. (Newton)

"Sarina is a Super Star Realtor. She assisted us with the purchase of our new home and the subsequent sale of our former home. In addition to being a pleasure to work with, she is wise and has extensive knowledge of the real estate market. Sarina is smart, friendly and trustworthy. I enthusiastically recommend Sarina to assist in the purchase or sale of your home.

Allison M. (Newton)

"Working with Sarina was an absolute pleasure. She fit in showings and took us to see homes even with Covid 19 limitations and the uncertainty of the unusual housing market. Sarina ensured that every step of our experience went smoothly and proceeded without complications. She was great at advocating and supporting us during the process. We would use her again in the future."
Tamar K. (Newton)

"Sarina represented and sold our house in about two weeks despite the many restrictions that the pandemic presented as well as the additional limits she had to adhere to regarding our daughter living with us.
Our daughter is 40 years old and has Down Syndrome and we were extra cautious of people coming into our house in fear of spreading the virus. We gave Sarina specific days and limited hours for people to enter our home which made it even more challenging.
Sarina was able to navigate through all restrictions seamlessly
always with a smile and an abundance of patience.
Sarina was on top of every detail always thinking ahead and making sure everything ran smoothly.
All negotiations and communications were handled appropriately as well as amicably and professionally.
We always felt that she was in complete control every step of the way. She was amazing!
It was an extreme pleasure working with Sarina. We highly recommend her to all."
Michael H. (Newton)

We were referred to Sarina by a friend who told us "she gets it." He was totally right. We were impressed by the way Sarina really listened, not just to what we told her, but also to what we observed to each other as we saw houses together. She used that knowledge to steer our future house-hunting, reminding us of our own priorities when we went astray. With Sarina, you feel you are in expert hands. She is confidante, sister, mother, guide, and skilled negotiator. We can't recommend her highly enough.
Rachel H. (Newton)

"Sarina is an joy to work with and a proactive problem-solver. We were in out of state for 6 months when we asked Sarina to find a buyer for our house during the depths of the pandemic. Within a week, she found a qualified buyer who bought the house for very near our asking price. She sheparded the transaction forward to conclusion in our absence and regularly reminded of what we needed to do and by when. We highly recommend her.
"
Rick V. (55 Morse Road)

"Sarina is a true professional. She leveraged her network to help us with all aspects of the purchase and sale of our homes. Each of the transactions went through smoothly and we ended up getting an above-ask offer the first day of our open house.
"
Linda B. (Brookline)

"Sarina is simply amazing! She is smart, savvy and very knowledgeable. She is persistent and a true advocate for her clients."
Sunita S. (Newton, MA)

"Sarina is a real estate pro. Not only is she a Newton market expert, she uses her extensive experience to get deals done. I have used her to both buy and sell luxury homes and she has impressed me every time. In challenging situations she distinguishes herself among her peers."
Scott Dabney (Newton)

Working with Sarina was an absolute pleasure. She made herself available 24/7 and was responsive to every text or email. She fit in showings and taking us to see homes despite all of the covid-19 limitations and uncertainty and the unusual housing market. Despite so much uncertainty in the world Sarina ensured that every step of our experience went smoothly and proceeded without complications and was great at supporting us during the process. She has great insider knowledge of different properties and has years of experience that make her a terrific resource."

We feel fortunate to have had her guidance and counsel.

"We were able to find our new home thanks to Sarina and her impressive network. Sarina provided us with a number of personalized options that allowed us to see tough-to-find homes in the area. In a challenging housing climate, working with Sarina ensured that we were able to not only find our new home but, even more amazingly, that rare ranch that we were looking for! We are grateful to have been able to successfully find the "needle in the haystack" all in a relatively short period of time. Thank you, Sarina!"
Danna and Adam Z., Bought in Newton

"Sarina provided extraordinary guidance and skill in selling our house. Her knowledge of the market and interaction with potential buyers are superb. Our home sold quickly. Sarina also served as our realtor when we first bought this same home years ago. We have a lot of experience with realtors, as our professional career entailed five different moves over three decades. Without question, Sarina is the best of the best!"
Roy and Judy R., Sold in Newton

"When we sold our house, we were in great hands with Sarina. She is extremely knowledgeable about the local markets and an excellent sales person. From the time she presented us with the initial analysis to when we closed' she was on top of every detail, so selling was a very smooth process. We would recommend her highly."
Dmitri R. and Irene P., Sold in Newton

"Sarina was the seller's broker, however was tremendous with us as buyers. She was patient and appreciative of our questions, concerns and numerous asks to come back to see the house. She is clearly a broker of integrity, which is reinforced by her success. We had seen her at another open house and were impressed with her there - crazy she ended up selling us the house we finally bought. I would highly recommend Sarina!"
Julia and James M., Bought in Newton

"Sarina is a seasoned realtor. She was strategic in determining the timing our house went on the market, had great suggestions for staging without driving us nuts, was wise regarding pricing and respected us completely as sellers. We felt completely taken care of and attended to, often above and beyond any expectations we had going into this process. Nothing seemed to rattle her and she was calm and steady throughout the process which had the same effect on us. We highly recommend."
Judy and Josh E., Sold in Newton

"Sarina and her team are excellent. She clearly set the expectations and executed on all of them, including price! We would without a doubt hire her again."
Jay and Julie B., Sold in Newton

"Sarina is a true professional. She did everything possible to make the selling process easier for us. It's clear that her job is a true passion and we look forward to working together in the future."
Jay B., Sold in Newton

"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."
Scott D., Bought in Newton

"As the price of Newton homes was declining in the summer of 2006, Sarina Steinmetz suggested that we list our home as a rental rather than selling. We purchased the Newton Center, brick colonial in 1977 for $74,500 and sold it in 2018 for $1,250,000 ---- at the first showing! What a great agent and investment!"
M.H., Sold in Newton

"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!"
John and Amy H., Sold in Newton

"Sarina was recommended by a colleague and it soon became apparent why she is so highly regarded. Sarina put our interests first - we are very grateful for her guidance and direction. Thank you again Sarina!"
David B. and Na Young C., Bought in Needham

"During the selling of my house, Sarina was a gem. She was always ready and prompt to answer every question, to solve any issue and to always check with me to be sure everything was going smoothly. She made what could have been a difficult experience so much easier. She worked nonstop and was always pleasant, helpful and optimistic. I highly recommend Sarina to anyone who is buying or selling any real estate."
Sue A., Sold in Newton

"When our son decided to go away for law school and picked Boston college, I had to find housing in a brand new neighborhood with no clue where or how to begin. Sarina was recommended and what a life saver! She drove us around, found the right fit, and negotiated the best deal. Sarina did it all. Her team was wonderful. The proof you ask? 3 years later when he graduated Sarina sold the property for us. If I had to do it all again, I would not change a thing. Thank you Sarina."
Brian D., Sold and Bought in Newton

"11 Years ago Sarina Steinmetz helped us purchase our dream house in Newton. This summer she helped us sell the property, to great satisfaction. Sarina deeply understands the market in which she operates, and leverages data to gauge the opportunities. The staging of the property was very well thought through, agreed and executed, leaving room for personal preferences. She made the property attractive to the widest possible buying target. The sales process was well coordinated and as as least intrusive as possible. Sarina respectfully suggest and executes alternative approaches to create buyers and brokers interest. In the final negotiations Sarina closely and professionally collaborated with the seller to achieve a desirable outcome. That's why we bought and sold our dream property through the same real estate agent."
Conrad S., Sold in Newton

"Sarina found us our first Newton home - a condo - in 2014, and we loved it. Then our family grew and we were looking for a new home with more space. Sarina was endlessly patient with us as we looked for a home that fit our budget, had the details we were looking for, and was in the neighborhood we already knew and loved. Sarina worked tirelessly to find us the perfect house. Her knowledge and her instincts are amazing. Sarina got to know the quirks of both of our personalities and figured out how to help us through the nervousness that comes with home buying. We looked at a number of homes together, and when she told us one day "I think I found the place for you", we felt confident that she was right. When we saw the home, we saw right away that it was a perfect fit for our family. Sarina helped us move quickly and efficiently through all the steps of the process. We feel so lucky to be in a house we love at a location that is perfect for us, and it is all because of Sarina!"
David and Amy P., Bought in Newton

"Sarina took time to get to know our family, listen to us and really understand what we were looking for, and she made the search and purchase of our new home as low stress as possible. We are grateful for Sarina's expertise, warmth and patience in helping us find our new home!"
Andrea and Charlie S., Bought in Newton

"Can't say enough positives about listing with Sarina and her team. Everything and anything that needed to be done was done with consideration and a smile. Sarina and her team eliminated much of the stress and helped us accomplish our goals in the sale of our house. Can't thank them enough."
Rachel and Bryan K., Sold in Newton

"We've greatly enjoyed working with Sarina S. in our search for a home in Newton. She is professional and is thoroughly knowledgeable of the market trends and inventory in the area. She was attentive to our specific search criteria and was able to direct our attention to the right property. We would not have been able to secure such a house without her help and we whole heartedly recommend her services to any potential buyers in Newton."
Alisa and Michael M., Bought in Newton

"Sarina Steinmetz is an exceptional real estate professional. We had heard wonderful things about her but she even exceeded our high expectations. Her knowledge of the market is unsurpassed and she brought us buyers even before we formally listed our home. She was always immediately responsive to any questions we had and showed a high level of interest in our needs. In addition, she is extremely pleasant and fun to work with."
Gail and Larry W., Sold in Newton

"Sarina was involved with our development project from day one and provided valuable feedback throughout the process. She delivered on making sure our finished product was exactly what it needed to be and ultimately sold our house within two days of it being on the market. We would, without hesitation, hire her again."
Jay B., Sold in Newton

"Sarina was extremely helpful with navigating the process of buying our home, prompt in response, considerate of our needs, and helpful in getting through to closing. We really enjoyed working with her."
Abe and Fran W., Bought in Newton

"We were really pleased with the way Sarina took our daughter's search in hand as if she were looking for a place for her own daughter (instead of ours). She was sensitive to our priorities, made excellent use of our time, and was on point with suggestions. We would highly recommend using her!"
Gary G. and Pat H., Bought in Newton

"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."
John and Jessica P., Sold and Bought in Newton

"Sarina was a vital part of our home buying process. She clearly demonstrated experience, expertise, and finesse throughout the entire process. She was a joy to work with."
Lisa Manling Wong (Malden, MA)

"Sarina Steinmetz was so knowledgeable,skilled and efficient in getting the job done, and always with a smile. She shielded us from all the attendant anxieties that the seller experiences while the house is on the market. She brought in a crew of 13 men who put on a new roof in one day! She has high energy and the magic touch!"
Lynne E. Heller (Newton, MA)

"In a rocky economic climate with mortgage rates skyrocketing, Sarina brought calm determination, skill, resourcefulness and endurance to the challenge of selling our home. We deeply appreciated her caring and sensitivity in presenting our home and responding to the wide-ranging priorities of prospective buyers, as well as her diligence in keeping us up-to-date on buyer interests and in helping us adapt to the sobering marketplace."
Philip N Warburg (Newton, MA)

"Sarina went way above and beyond our expectations! From helping us prepare the house for sale, to putting together a marketing strategy, to organizing multiple post-sale issues, Sarina was excellent. As we were locating out of state, her hands-on approach and attention to all the details in our absence were invaluable."

"Sarina provided everything a home owner could ask for. Professionalism, patience, positive demeanor, and expert negotiating skill. <br />We always felt that she was in total control of every situation that came up along the way to selling out in about two weeks."
Michael H.
