Sara Yakira

?We got very lucky when we decided to start shopping for a vacation home in Black Mountain, NC. By clicking on a Zillow property we wanted to see, we were paired with Sara Yakira and we highly recommend her as a top-notch real estate agent. She very patiently worked with us for three years, exploring various options from empty lots for a new-build to our ever-changing house price points and needs. She always came to showings prepared with comps and insights. We put her through the wringer but Sara was always flexible, understanding, and optimistic. She kept us from making some costly mistakes and gave us very good advice. She didn’t give up on us when we pushed the pause button after Hurricane Helene scared us away from buying a second home. And we’re so glad and grateful, as it is completely thanks to Sara that our dream home became ours. She made a point of viewing the house early and sending videos to us so we could see it and make a bid right away. Because she had kept track of our evolving criteria, she had an accurate sense of what would ultimately become our dream mountain house. Thank you, Sara!

We met Sara years ago while visiting Asheville and beginning to contemplate moving there. Every time we visited we would stop in to see Sara. She was always very helpful and offered great advise and information. Once we actually decided to make the move she was there for us. We were not the easiest clients the work with but she was with us through all of our indecision and confusion. She was there as we changed our minds about areas, neighborhoods, and even the type of housing. Always patient, always helpful and always fun. Her advise was extremely helpful as we questioned ourselves. We are out of state clients with limited internet skills and she was very patient as she walked us through the process. We are looking forward to our move and I would highly recommend Sara.

This was my second positive experience working with Sara. I appreciated her patience as I clarified what was most important to me. With her knowledge of the area and the market she was extremely helpful in steering me towards neighborhoods that best met my needs. She was a great advocate for me during the negotiations. And to top it all off, she offered wonderful suggestions that will help me turn the property that I chose into a comfortable home for the next chapter in my life.

Sara was great! A fun person to work with, she knows and loves the area, and stuck with me in the buying process through the ins and outs of a natural disaster.

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
