We worked with Sarah Ellen Lacke to both buy and sell our homes. From the very beginning Sarah Ellen had our best interest at heart and worked diligently and used her industry referrals to make things as easy as possible for us as her clients. Selling our home, she sold it for full asking price to a buyer she had in mind. We showed our house once! How wonderful is that! A previous REALTOR had quoted us a significantly lower listing price but Sarah Ellen knew the market and what our home was worth. Our home we went under contract to buy was also a different type of deal with a lot of work on her end! We won our bidding war due to some strategies she knew of, and because of unforeseen circumstances of the house, were under contract for a long period of time.

She was always there to help with any questions and guide us through the process. She was patient when needed but also made sure we stayed on track for what needed to be done. This was not an easy deal but she navigated it perfectly. I would highly recommend working with Sarah Ellen and the staff at Smith Spencer. They are smart, passionate, and caring about their clients.
Sarah Ellen was referred to us by former clients who saw us walking in their neighborhood, looking at houses. Since we lived out of town we were grateful for the referral and consider ourselves extremely fortunate to have been given Sarah Ellen's name. We shared all of our initial searches online and Sarah Ellen pulled together showings even when we came into town on short notice. The initial process was a little challenging as we figured out by touring houses what we were really looking for and we appreciated that Sarah Ellen gave us free rein to explore our likes and dislikes. Once we entered due diligence, Sarah Ellen's electronic sharing of documents and information needed for the close was immediate and easy to understand and complete. We have complete confidence in her representation of our interests at the inspection and closing. We would not hesitate to work with Sarah Ellen Lack…

I can't express enough how incredible Sarah Ellen was during our home-buying experience! I had heard she was great at her job but once we started working with her, I saw it firsthand. Her knowledge, drive, and passion for putting people in homes are none as I've ever seen. We've dealt with several REALTORS over the years and non can compare. No one is harder working than Sarah Ellen. She truly cares about her customers and gets the job done. It doesn't just stop with her. Everyone at her company, from the Broker in Charge to the Closing Coordinator, is the utmost professional and takes their jobs to heart. So many agents just want the sale but that was not the case here. Her talents are second to none!
Sarah Ellen helped up and relocate from California to Johns Island. We originally met her on our first visit to the area when we were looking at open houses on our own. Sarah Ellen's knowledge, personality, and responsiveness led us to call her before our next trip out, and we were able to set up a day of private showings. Throughout that year, she contacted us regularly and made the effort to get to know us as people, not just clients. This led to her being able to suggest areas and types of homes that would fit our lifestyle. We definitely would recommend Sarah Ellen to be your REALTOR, no matter if you're relocating or live in the Charleston area. She knows her business!
