"Sarah’s knowledge of the Savannah real estate market was invaluable in helping us sell our grandfather’s probate home. She was diligent, professional, and efficient throughout the process—handling everything from property matters to paperwork with ease. We truly appreciated her quick communication and her ability to move things forward during a very emotional time."

Roz I Atlanta

"My parents' Savannah home meant a great deal to them — they renovated it themselves and lived there for decades. I did my best to clear it out, but it became clear the task was too overwhelming to handle alone. Sarah stepped in and managed the probate home sale with both care and precision. She not only coordinated the logistics but made sure that nothing sentimental was lost along the way. Her compassion made a difficult process feel manageable."

Gina I Wilmington Island

"I highly recommend Sarah Pounders — she’s the best real estate agent I’ve ever worked with! She helped us sell my mother’s distressed home in Savannah for the highest price possible. Sarah is incredibly resourceful, responsive, organized, and professional. She also has a network of trusted vendors, from handymen and cleanout crews to estate sale professionals and landscaping teams. If there's a challenge with a probate or estate property, Sarah has a solution."
