Sara Yakira

We feel so fortunate and delighted to have found Sara Yakira about three years ago when we first inquired about a property in the Asheville area. Being out-of-towners from New York, we didn’t have an agent to help us searching in the local Asheville area and when we were “assigned” Sara, we were quickly impressed with her professionalism, market knowledge and insights, responsiveness, pro-active approach and overall over-and-above approach…not to mention her wonderful personality and sense of humor. It’s not easy to house-hunt from afar, but Sara made this significantly easier for us as she would not hesitate to chase down numerous properties we ‘loved’ online and provide expert guidance and video walkthroughs…even though it literally took years. When we recently found “the one” in Weaverville, Sara held our hands through the offering and settlement processes, making these as easy and stress-free as possible. She seemed to anticipate all of our questions and concerns and provided pro-active information. We are very grateful that we had Sara in our prolonged house-hunting experience and would highly recommend her to anyone searching for or listing a property.Best,David Chimes & Michelle Walker

We have been working with Sara Yakira as our buyer agent for over two years. She quickly understood our lifestyle and expectations, and she is still helping us to find the house that fits our needs. She has never pushed us towards settling for a property that we showed hesitation for and, on several occasions, pointed out drawbacks that we we were not aware of in a certain property. Throughout our dealings with her she has been professional, very knowledgeable “straight shooter” and respectful of our time and needs

Sara worked with us worked over an extended period of time as we contemplated a move to Asheville and then bought a home. She was very friendly and helpful both with the home buying process, local resources, and guiding us as she listened to our requirements. She was so helpful and welcoming that we now consider her a friend.

Sara was exactly who we needed to help us find a home. She understood what we needed, guided us in looking for a home, gave excellent knowledgeable advice, and instinctively knew what we were looking for based on our conversations. Sara really listened. She made herself available and is a great communicator. She never got impatient with us, no matter how wishy- washy our decisions became. Sara knew how we needed to proceed when we were considering buying a home, guided us thru the process with the least amount of stress, and helped us tremendously with inspections, and obtaining all we needed to close. Sara helped us after closing with details . She had great connections for obtaining the other services we needed. Sara was great. .

This is my second time working with Sara on a home purchase, this time for my mother. Once again, Sara knocked it out of the park. She is attentive and always puts the needs of her clients first. Sara is honest and does a great job providing professional advice to help her clients make the best decisions. She can juggle multiple clients and still make you feel like you’re her only priority. On top of being a great agent, she’s just a kind person. I’m confident that anyone who works with Sara will be glad they did.
