Sara Yakira

I am delighted to be a recent transplant to Asheville (my husband and I moved here several years ago). Growing up in Brooklyn, NY, I fell in love with the Blue Ridge Mountains as a child, spending summers at Camp Judaea in Hendersonville. After graduating with a degree in Drama/Dance from Bard College, I escaped the East Coast for San Francisco. Appreciating the sense of “the big city inside a small town,” I lived there until moving to Asheville – all except for five years in Jerusalem, Israel. My parents had moved to Israel and it became important for me to spend time with them during the final chapter of their lives. I became a real estate agent there, serving a widely diverse clientele, many of whom were buyers from overseas, seeking retirement or vacation properties.

Making people feel at home is one of the joys in my life. And this is what I bring to serving my clients – helping them find the home that will become their nest, their place of celebration, comfort and safety. Or helping sellers prepare their homes for the market, so they can leave the nest for whatever their goals are.

I am proud to be serving as the Real Estate Consultant on the Steering Team of Housing Options for Aging in Place (HOAP), an Age-friendly Buncombe County Initiative.  In just a few years, one in five residents of the County will be age 65 or older. The purpose of HOAP is to create a comprehensive, coordinated initiative that knits together diverse stakeholders across multiple domains to effectively work toward a community where older adults have the ability and choice to age in place. Our goals are for the community to recognize and support safe, accessible, affordable housing as a social determinant of health for older adults; to create new and modified policies and practices (both governmental and organizational) which support and promote affordable and accessible housing options.

Upon arrival in Asheville, I became very active in my synagogue community, Congregation Beth Israel. A regular attendee at services, I am a member of the Ritual Committee, and I often step up to volunteer for events and ad hoc committees. I also serve on the Steering Committee for the Center of Jewish Studies at UNC Asheville. You can find me at one of the Asheville’s many superb restaurants (I happily describe myself as a foodie) or fine theaters (you may even find me on stage now and then), and most definitely at Tourists baseball games. Elie and I love adventuring – continuing to explore the areas in and around Asheville – which broadens and deepens my knowledge of my new home. I can’t wait to help you find yours!

Sara has been a wonderful realtor for us, very responsive, highlights important items and shares helpful advice/thoughts throughout the process. Definitely keeps your best interest in mind, glad we found her!

Sara was great and did her job of helping us find the RIGHT home for us not just finding a home we would buy if we kinda liked it. She was honest and even when we found a home we THOUGHT we loved she saved the day and honestly pointed out something we maybe hadn't thought of. We appreciated her honesty and willingness to always be there to answer questions quickly!

Sara is by far one of the best realtors my husband and I have ever met! From day one, we were immediately impressed with her quick response, wonderful personality, and attention to detail in learning what type of home we were looking for. She was able to help us find an amazing home very quickly. She went above and beyond throughout the entire process to help make closing as easy as possible for myself and my husband, who both work a lot and are often difficult to contact. She worked with our schedules and truly went out of her way to help make this a very positive couple of months- even seeking out additional info we asked about the home and neighborhood, while working to negotiate a great agreement between us and the sellers. We frequently commented on how organized and responsive she was every day, always following up on even the smallest details. I can’t say enough about how wonderful Sara is- I would highly recommend her to anyone, and plan to contact her in the future for any real estate needs!

We found Sara while hunting for a vacation home in the Asheville area. Since we were from outside of the area, Sara did everything she could to accommodate us virtually, and when we occasionally visited. She is super smart and the reason we got the place we wanted in this very hot market. Recommend you speak with her if you wish to secure your next property.

Sara was fantastic to work with. She is honest, thoughtful and provided great advice as we navigated this tough real estate market. She really goes to bat for her clients. She was always timely in her response to questions and never made us feel like we were asking 'dumb' questions. We had a lot of back and forth with contractors and the sellers and she handled everything professionally and efficiently. I really felt like she was looking out for our best interest. We are beyond thrilled with our new home and I feel like we hit the jackpot when we had Sara as an agent. I would work with Sara again in a heartbeat.
