We have had the pleasure of working with Sara Walker our realtor through Patricia Sprague Real Estate, Ashland, Oregon on 3 different occasions. Through Sara we were able to sell our family home in Ashland, Oregon in 2018 and purchase a home in Phoenix, Oregon on 2019. Just Recently we sold that home in Phoenix. We are relocating to New London, Connecticut to be closer to family. In each of these transactions Sara has made a very complex and involved process manageable for us to do. She has been exceeding patient with us and helped us understand all of the involved paperwork necessary. From the initial information that she provided us to the assistance with using the computer to complete some necessary work, she was always there. Sara was amazing with her skills to not make us feel overwhelmed. Sara is an individual with a lot of knowledge about her profession, and explains what we need to do, when we need to do it, and is right there with us when we needed help. We would recommend her to anyone who is buying or selling a home. Sara was always available to answer our questions and helped us understand a fairly complicated process. If you have any questions about working with Sara please don't hesitate to contact us. Mike & Karen Wraight 137 Ocean Ave, New London, CT. 06320 wraighttravel@gmail.com read more

This is the second house that Sara has helped my family buy, and she was spot on for the second time in a row. Extremely responsive, friendly, and detailed, and also found us the exact right house. Can't thank her enough. read more

We were interested buyers from out-of-town, and Sara was patient and helpful as we came and went a couple of times, trying to get to know Ashland and make a decision about if a move there is right for us. She never pushed but was always responsive. She helped us learn about the different parts of town, and guided us through the many inspections on the country property we ended up buying. Sara was highly professional during the whole process. In addition, she had great referrals for us in terms of contractors and other professionals. We highly recommend hiring Sara! read more

Sara Walker shows exceptional kindness and commitment to her clients. She drove me to the urgent care clinic and kept me company while I got 6 stitches. On my first night in my new home & town, Sara greeted me with house keys, and an assortment of snacks, a mug & bowl, and frozen meals - enough to get me through the winter snow storm. She is unbelievably thoughtful, generous, resourceful, knowledgeable, reliable, and savvy. She goes above and beyond her duties as a realtor. read more

Terrible experience with Sara. We contacted her due to all the great reviews, she sounded great at first, but when we asked her to get us more information on 2 properties we are interested in she was very slow to respond. Finally we got ahold of her and she said she was too busy and had too many clients to help us. Should have told us that in the beginning so we would have gotten someone else to help instead of wasting a little over a week. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PERSON!!! read more

This is a general purpose review of the real estate service provided by Sara Walker. Several years ago she first demonstrated her expertise by finding us the IDEAL "right" house, here in Talent, Oregon, at the right price, in just two days. We'd driven up from San Francisco to house-hunt. (We'd been "driven out" of the Bay Area, due to its absurd cost-of-living increases). Sara had already done massive homework for us. Thus the "tour" of houses she took us on was not only successful, but also incredibly well-organized and efficient. (Also, although thoroughly professional, she is is a delightful and fun human being). Since that time we've re-financed twice (due to rising prices here, and to pay off former debt). The second time the assigned appraiser seriously "low-balled" our home value. To help us rectify this, Sara put together a totally objective, thorough and convincing analysis of CURRENT local comps and did so immediately despite her busy workload at "no charge." Again we have witnessed her amazing knowledge both of the real estate business in general, but also of the Southern Oregon region. And we re-experienced her commitment to service and to her clients' well-being. It is wonderful to work with a dedicated expert who is also a generous, hard-working and kind PERSON. I've bought and sold several homes before and always had "OK" to "good" experiences, but never has anyone come close to Sara Walker's approach to SERVICE. Particularly for "high-end" clients seeking something unique in this very specialized market, Sara's strengths are ideal. She is an expert listener, helps each client better define what she or he actually wants, and then follows through to the smallest detail to find the right or best available property -- and then make a successful transaction happen. We can't recommend her highly enough. Thank you, Sara! read more

Having worked with many real estate professionals, I can say that Sara Walker is an exceptional agent. On one of our many annual trips to Ashland, we finally decided to buy a second home in this wonderful town. Sara was prompt, precise, and intuitive about helping us find a terrific property in a location that we thought was out of reach. We looked at many properties and exhausted all that met our "search criteria." None really floated our boat. But Sara knew what we were really looking for, and turned us onto a home that was just a hair over budget and poised to get back on the market. Given its location and view, it was a great value. As soon as the property came back on the market, Sara used her seasoned negotiation skills to outbid our competitors. The way she structured our offer ensured against overpaying. So we got the place without leaving money on the table. But Sara did not just stop there. It was high season for building professionals, so it would have taken weeks to line up the inspection. Knowing we were leaving town soon, she pulled out the stops and tracked down not only a general inspector but also a chimney inspector, plumber, and landscape architect -- all of whom we met in the space of five days. Because of her years of experience, she ordered a scope of our sewage main, which uncovered roots in the main sewer line, a repair that might have otherwise cost us close to $10,000. Sara negotiated that repair into our final price and arranged for the repair to come out of escrow, which saved us a bundle of out-of-pocket cash. Not only that, she helped us track down the plumbing company that took care of the job in a timely manner. Because of Sara's work ethic and savvy, we landed a terrific home in a great neighborhood and had it ready for move-in -- all within the space of our vacation. Sara is amazing. If only I could give her 10 Yelp stars! read more

Sara was an awesome real estate agent. She had boundless positive enthusiastic energy and over the course of a few days took us to over 40 homes. I swear we must have seen every home in the area and Sara had the utmost patience until we found the perfect home. Sara was a genuine person who really looked out for our best interests all the way from searching to negotiating and closing. She was not your typical sales person trying to over-sell but rather she listened to our needs and helped us find the home of our dreams. We are so excited to move to Ashland and Sara really helped us realize our dream. read more

When we first began considering our move from San Francisco to Ashland, we didn't have any contacts in the real estate business. So I reviewed websites and reached out to a few. I was drawn to Sara's long experience with the area. I made the right choice. Our housing search ended up being a long process, though not for any reasons Sara had control over. It was our own inexperience, both with the area and home ownership (this was our first home) along with a bit of tough luck. We never expected home buying to be such an emotional rollercoaster. Sara was great throughout it, flexible with our shifting needs and focus, and unflappable in the face of disappointment or delay. We ended up in a home that is perfect for us, with a great location, everything we need, and we are very happy to recommend Sara for her persistent will to find a solution to any problem and deep relationships within the Valley. Thanks Sara! read more

When I listed my small house for sale last year Sara Walker provided expert advice and unlimited attention as my agent. We priced the house well despite an absence of comparable properties and, combined with her excellent marketing plan, received an amazing offer in 2 days. She also worked hard to make sure the contract settlement went smoothly. I would definitely recommend Sara to anyone who wants to buy or sell a home in the Ashland area. Polly Hodges read more

Sara helped us buy our new home in Ashland after moving from Los Angeles. She was easy to work work, made herself available to us whenever we wanted to look at houses and was patient throughout the lengthy buying process. Would highly recommend contacting Sara! read more

Sara and I worked in person as we scouted a house for a family member. When I went back east, Sara took the helm and went above and beyond, in all that she did. She arranged for any and all inspections, bids, quotes, repairs, she was fantastic. She would absolutely be a go to person for anyone looking to rent or buy a property in the area. Go Sara!!! read more

I interviewed 5 realtors to sell my home in Ashland, and picked Sara for her enthusiasm and positive approach to sales. I found her to be responsive and helpful. There were times when I felt she might have been too overwhelmed with her business that she left out some details in negotiations. The bottom line was that she undoubtedly got me the best price for my home compared to what the other realtors felt they could get. She was gracious and had a calming demeanor throughout my dealings with her. read more

Sara is patient, down-to-earth, and highly responsive. She made the shopping process pleasant and pressure-free. The purchase process was fast and easy. We felt Sara had our best interest in mind every step of the way! read more

Sara Walker helped us buy our townhome in Ashland over a decade ago, and just this year, during a pandemic, she definitely wanted her to be our agent again, when we listed our townhome for sale. Since we live in another state and could not be there to see to the details in person, we were extremely lucky to have such a resourceful and attentive agent. When issues came up during the inspection, she was right there with local resources at her fingertips--from carpenters to appliance repair people. She made time to oversee an additional HVAC service/inspection/repair. She followed up with every vendor to make sure the work was completed on time, so that we met all of the requirements to complete the sale. We even ended up closing escrow early. We are so thankful to Sara for her great service. We highly recommend that anyone buying or selling property in Ashland or the region work with Sara Walker. read more

Sara has been our "go to" realtor since 2014. She knows the Ashland market really well and she is a fantastic communicator. She listed our home and helped coordinate the sale. She really knows her stuff. read more

We are so incredibly happy we found Sara Walker. We had found her through YELP and we just wanted someone with good reviews that could help us get to know the Ashland Area where we hoped to purchase a home in the next year or two. She did such a great job of listening to us and helping us refine our wishes, that we actually found the home of our dreams in only 3 days. This was just the beginning of our journey with Sara. There were many twists and turns in the saga of finally purchasing it, and Sara was a true partner through the entire process. She helped us think through and follow through on many of the important details of the entire purchasing process. I am certain we could never have gotten to the point of closing on the home without all of her help. Sara is patient, kind, is a great listener and has outstanding follow up skills. She is truly a joy to work with and we would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in Ashland. Thank you Sara! read more

We met Sara when we first moved to this city, fifteen years ago. She was helpful, friendly and attentive. Because of work considerations we toyed again with the idea of moving locally about eight hears ago, either within Ashland or to Medford, and she gave us a wealth of her time at that point. We decided not to move then. But now we have recently sold our house, with her help, and we are moving northward, possibly to another state. Sara has a sensitivity to people and their individual needs. She is gracious and accomodating at all times. Her attitude is upbeat. For instance, I found it especially difficult to have people judging my home. Sara seemed to pick up on this, though I never voiced it, and in one of her notes, she said, "You have a lovely home." She seemed to know that I needed that message just then. Details, of course, are a huge part of a real estate transaction. She is detail-oriented, and thorough. B and C read more

Sara was a wonder worker. We purchased house and had lots of problems crop up. She was very pro-active in helping us solve these problems before closing. She stayed in touch, and kept us up to date on the progress of the sale. I couldn't have imagined she would do so much. She went way beyond the call of duty on this one. Don't hesitate and call her. read more
