Education
Coaching, Training & Education
Before real estate, Sara was a teacher for over 20 years — and that background shows up in everything she builds.
She doesn't just "motivate", although she certainly does encourage and support. She teaches. She explains. She structures. Pedagogically, it's the educational philosophy of prepare, present, and practice that drives everything here.
And she cares deeply about people actually understanding what they're doing.
I am at the point in my career where YOUR success is my success. I love seeing people accomplish their goals, and I want to help you get there.
