I highly recommend Sarah Drennan and Terrie O'Connor Realtors and have counted on their expertise, knowledge, and experience for one purchase and two sales over the past six years. Sarah's helpful suggestions for reasonable improvements in my properties were reliably beneficial and insured I got the most value as a seller. She also brought me to a wide range of premium properties in my area and within my budget as a buyer. I have no doubt that anyone who chooses to work with Sarah Drennan and O'Connor Realty will know they are a valued client and be assured that their transaction will be handled with care by someone who really is an expert in her field.

Sarah was our listing agent. She was very knowledgeable and knew exactly what to list our house at. She was there every step of the way for us and was very easy to get in touch with when needed.

Sarah Drennan did a terrific job for us. In addition to always being available to answer any of our questions, she also developed a well thought out strategy to maximize the appeal of our house which included recommended staging of our interior as well as creating a 3D virtual presentation. Sarah was a pleasure to deal with and was always completely professional. I intend to continue working with her in the future as I plan on selling my mother's house in the near future.

Sarah has guided us again through the twists and turns of buying a house, while simultaneously assessing offers on our existing property, and she did this with aplomb and integrity.
(...And also she's helped with unsolicited baby-holding services at closing, complete with drool and squirming...all above and beyond the call of duty!)
Late evening, early morning, she works hard, stays positive and perseveres.
