We were exceptionally happy with the Sarah Leonard Team. We spoke with other Realitor’s when we decided the time was right for us to sell our home. She stood out with her knowledge and immediate plans for the best direction for us to go in preparing for putting our house on the market. Then immediately when to work with getting the word out. We had interested buyers and she did an accurate job of understanding our desires and working with the perspective buyers to get us a fair selling price. We would recommend this Team to anyone , in fact we already have.ragoozie
Contacted this team since they also represented a recent sale in my subdivision. Sarah’s team member Carie Cox was the agent that worked with me, and was knowledgeable, thorough, and a great help in giving me info that I needed to guide me thru preparing the home for sale, and also thru the negotiations. With this info, we listed on a Friday, had 26 showings on Saturday, and 3 offers on Sunday. The rest of the team was also very helpful, not only coordinating the pre-listing info and photo shoot, but also during the closing process. Thanks to all - and I would highly recommend this team.anthemhodie0403
I had a home to sell and I chose to go with another realtor other than Sarah Leonard before I knew her. It was a total nightmare! We had little to no showings, and it was always about us dropping our price, or that "we didn't have enough nice furnishings that most people looked for in our price point," said the realtor, over and over again to me! I couldn't stand listening to him, I dreaded his calls, and I felt like I couldn't ask him any questions. Well we believed otherwise, so we fired our realtor and went with Sarah Leonard, because thankfully we just happened to call the listing agent on a home we were interested in seeing to purchase and Jackie, who is part of the Sarah Leonard Team, responded that day and we went immediately. We did not end up buying the house we really wanted in the first place because our previous realtor, who we fired, did not accurately list our home's taxes, or dimensions properly. We lost our buyer and the home we wanted! We were very, very upset. Sarah relisted our home and not only sold it within 10 days, but we also received multiple offers and sold for more than asking price!!! This truly was a miracle compared to the previous realtor. Then it was about finding us not only a home but "The Home." Jackie assured us we would find something better, I'll be honest and say that I wasn't too sure at times, I was dwelling on what we had lost in the first home, and comparing everything to it. Jackie never gave up, she always kept in touch, whether it was early in the morning or late at night. She ultimately found us the home we were dreaming about for the last 20 years, no exaggeration! I can not say enough about Sarah, who by the way is straight-up, no-nonsense, and Jackie, who is very patient and very kind, and both very determined. The weight of it all was too much at times, trying to balance work, and home life since we were expecting a baby as well through the whole process. They did everything they could to take away the sress, and put it on them. If you want to sell your home, use Sarah. If you want to sit up all night looking online and stressing out and do all the work yourself, use another realtor. Sarah has a team, a professional team, believe me when I say she is worth it. Sharon, who is part of the office team, was the best!!! She was always on it, and very thorough. Not only did Sarah sell and help me find my home, she sold my sister-in-law's home with the same miraculous results, and is now working with my sister to sell hers. I hope this review somehow does justice to what they did for my family, and makes up for all the stress I put them through, lol!!! Thank you Sarah, Jackie, and Sharon!njuola
My fiancé and I worked with the Sarah Leonard team to sell my town home and purchase our new home. The entire team is extremely responsive and they made this stressful process far more manageable. They walked us through the process step by step, from getting my house ready to sell, to closing on our new home. We worked with Carie and Sharon to sell my home and Jackie helped us find and negotiate a great deal on our dream home. We couldn’t be happier!sonja vonkampen
The entire Sarah Leonard Team was great! Sarah and Jen Novak were there for us all the time to answer our questions and calm our fears about selling. No matter what problem or concern we had they were always available to help us with it. Our home sold very quickly and we would definitely recommend the Sarah Leonard team!Brian Swanson
I want to thank Tori and Kristen at the Sarah Leonard team. We sold our condo in southwest Naperville in only 2 days and received full list price! They are extremely responsive, friendly, and proactive. We investigated a number of realtors before choosing Sarah Leonard team. We appreciated that Tori was energized, realistic, honest, and very detail oriented. She gave us the confidence that with the right amount of tender loving care that we could sell our place at the price we were hoping for. Also, even a week after we first talked to her, she still remembered our "one burned out light bulb" in the hallway and reminded us to replace it! This level of attention impressed us greatly.They have a network of providers that will do a great job at a reasonable cost for getting your place ready to sell. We used their preferred painter, carpet installer, carpet cleaning, window repair, and moving service. All did great work on schedule and for the right price!
To top it off, our closing occurred in the middle of the pandemic when Naperville closed for business and so many other things shut down. They worked as a team, including the attorney which they recommended to us, to navigate around the challenges and we closed on schedule. Could not be happier with my experience!

Not only do we give Sarah 5 stars, we also give her team 5 stars! Jen Novak is also a rock star! This is the second time we have worked with Sarah, and we have recommended our daughter, and others as well. If you want your house to sell, only use Sarah Leonard! Be ready to hear what you need to hear, maybe not what you want to hear. Listen to her advice and let her run with it. You won't be disappointed.matt8697
Sarah and her team were fantastic! They made the whole selling process as painless as can be expected. Sarah was always available to me if there were any questions and her team communicated constantly with us around what activities were scheduled and what to expect. She was extremely professional and knowledgeable. i would highly recommend her to any of my family or friends!!sallypease59
The Sarah Leonard Team was wonderful! As stressful as selling a home is..they made the whole process as stress free as it could possibly be.Jen was Sarah's assistant assigned to us. She was amazing! No matter the problem, question or concern my husband and I came across, Jen always made me feel important to her and that our concerns mattered. She was very attentive and always accessible and very easy to talk to! I would definitely recommend The Sarah Leonard Team and I strongly suggest requesting Jen, as well!!
