Sara Martin is a Southern California real estate professional whose career is defined by strategy, discipline, creativity, and an unwavering commitment to her clients.
A former member of the U.S. National Surfing Team and nationally ranked competitive athlete, Sara brings the same focus, preparation, resilience, and drive for excellence that defined her athletic career to real estate. She understands that exceptional results are rarely accidental-they are built through preparation, sound strategy, perseverance, and the ability to perform when it matters.
With more than 20 years of experience in real estate and property transformation, Sara offers a perspective that extends well beyond the traditional transaction. Her background includes purchasing, renovating, designing, and selling properties, as well as managing a residential build through completion. This hands-on experience gives her clients an informed perspective on property potential, improvements, presentation, and long-term value.
Sara holds a Bachelor's degree in Management & Ethics with Honors and completed a three-year Interior Design and Home Staging program through the New York Institute of Art and Design. She is RIDQC Certified, a member of the American Society of Interior Designers, and the recipient of an ASID Orange County Design Excellence Award. Her design work has also been featured in Orange Coast Magazine.
As a Certified Negotiation Expert and Probate Certified real estate professional, Sara approaches every transaction with preparation, discretion, and strong advocacy. Her expertise in design and staging further distinguishes her representation, giving sellers strategic guidance on positioning and presentation while helping buyers recognize both the opportunities and potential challenges in a property.
Sara has built her business around a highly personalized approach. Rather than focusing on volume, she is selective about the clients she represents so she can remain closely involved throughout each transaction. Her reputation is grounded in integrity, attention to detail, responsiveness, and a commitment to protecting her clients' best interests.
Now affiliated with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties, Sara serves clients throughout Orange County, with particular expertise in South Orange County and its coastal communities.
Whether representing a seller, buyer, or investor, Sara brings together decades of property experience, award-winning design expertise, strategic negotiation, and the competitive mindset of an elite athlete to deliver a distinctly elevated level of real estate representation.
