Helped me buy and sell homes • Des Moines, IA • 2026
Sara did an amazing job assisting us with the sale of our home. Her and her team were thorough and thoughtful throughout the full process. They even advocated on our behalf when there were hiccups along the way. Sara made us feel comfortable to ask questions given this was our first time selling a property. We highly recommend Sara whether you're buying or selling.

We couldn’t have navigated selling our home and buying a new one simultaneously without Sara Hopkins and her team! The communcation and dedication throughout was outstanding! We couldn’t be happier with how fast they were able to get our home listed on the market to ensure getting us into our new home in time for the holidays! Thanks again!

Sara helped me through the Estate sale of my father's house and I cannot sing her praises enough! First off, since I am not from the area, I reached out to a realtor friend local to me who recommended Sara via her professional network. To be so highly recommended by her peers should tell you all you need to know about Sara! She made time to meet with me while I was in town and pretty much took over from there! She was available any time I had even the silliest of questions and she kept me updated on every step of the process after I returned home. I felt like we were on the same page with every step, and I never once had to question whether Sara was working hard to get the house sold. Most importantly I trusted her with maintaining the house with me out of state! She was knowledgeable about the area and the local market and advised me accordingly. The whole experience was a breeze and that's all thanks to Sara, her team, and their hard work and dedication. I'd also mention that she's a very fun and down-to-earth person to chat with - professional and personable!

I have worked with Sara and her team various times over the last decade and each time the process is seamless. There is no question Sara is one of the most knowledgable realtors in the area and her team is top notch. Sara always approaches my needs with kindness and professionalism. I am so comfortable bouncing ideas and questions off her for her insight and always feel like we're making the best decisions. I think I wrote this after my last time using Sara, but I have used her more times than I care to admit over the last decade and each time has exceeded my expectations. I cannot recommend Sara and her team enough!

Helped me buy and sell homes • Des Moines, IA • 2024
We had a great experience working with Sara Hopkins and her team. We bought a house and sold a house with her this year. Sara really knows the Des Moines market and is so invested in the area. Her team is a joy to work with, they are very attentive, and make the process seamless. She helped us find a property that we love, and she made the selling process so fast and easy. We had multiple offers within four days of listing and sold for over asking price. We would suggest Sara and her team to anyone and would definitely work with her again!

Sara and her team were very helpful throughout our selling process. Sara was sincere and honest about the housing market and pricing to sell. She and her team were generous with their time and helpful tips to prepare our home for sale. Sara was also sensitive to our needs for scheduling showings and open houses.

From our very first meeting, Sara's professionalism, dedication, and genuine passion for helping her clients shone through. She went above and beyond at every step of the process to sell our home. Her extensive knowledge of Des Moines area real estate and pricing trends helped us set the best market price for our home. Her keen eye for detail and deep understanding of the real estate landscape made us feel confident and well-guided throughout the entire process. However, what truly sets Sara apart is her unwavering commitment to her clients. She was always available to answer our questions, address any concerns, and provide timely updates. Her dedication to achieving the best possible outcome for her clients is truly commendable. Beyond her professional expertise, her honesty, integrity, and genuine passion for real estate make her a standout in the industry. Sara is an agent who is knowledgeable, dedicated, and truly cares about your needs. She is a true gem, and we are incredibly grateful for her outstanding service.
