- Extremely responsive via phone/text/email from start to finish. We were never left wondering what was going on. She turned around an offer very quickly for us.
- Did not simply setup a filter and have auto emails going to us with listings. She would hand pick properties that fit our criteria and she listened to our feedback.
- She truly knew what we were looking for and never did I feel like she was trying to get a quick sale. She had our best interests as her priority. There were even times she steered us away from listings because she was confident it wasn’t our taste. This stood out to me in a low inventory market. Low pressure and determined to find what we wanted.
- Very knowledgeable of the area and was always sharing helpful information
- Great list of resources for inspections (and she arranged every inspection, attended the inspection and reported back to us)
- She is warm, kind, straightforward and realistic
You rock Brenda - would use you again in a heartbeat."
"Casey and team has gone beyond our expectations! Casey was excellent at sending us properties that fit our needs as well as those that might fit our needs with some minor changes.. Casey's communication has been flawless. Casey provided us with everything we need to get moved into the area... This is a tough market and we were able to find a home and get into contract. Casey is constantly able to provide alternatives and solutions to hurdles. She is exceptional. I have very much appreciated working with Casey."

“Sarah knew exactly what we wanted, even before we knew. She found the right neighborhood, the right lot and the right builder for us. She was there every step of the way, advocating for our rights, our needs and wants.” – John & Judy
“Last year I worked briefly with Sarah and decided to work with another realtor, who was also my landlord, for practical reasons. In hindsight, that was a big mistake. Sarah accepted me back as a client and I’m so grateful; there is no comparison to my buying experience now. She produced magic: my offer was accepted by the seller over two all-cash offers (mine was financed)!” - Bri
“I could not have purchased the home I wanted without the skill, deep experience and professionalism of Sarah Kaisler Berg. She found the right home for me early in our search, but I had to wait for my previous home to sell before making an offer. Sarah stayed in touch with the sellers agent for over four months. When I was finally able to put an offer on the home, Sarah had established her credibility with the seller and presented my offer with facts, research and grace... Sarah is a buyer’s agent who is in it for the long game. She cared as much about finding me the right home as I did. She builds excellent relationships with the best in the industry... she could call upon a network of professionals at a moment’s notice. I would not have my home were it not for Sarah’s expertise.” - Susan
“Sarah served as our buyer’s agent during the purchase of our residence in Boise, while we were out of state... Sarah’s prompt understanding of our needs and desires greatly focused and improved the quality of our search from afar. Sarah was our source for contractor references for work required after closing and she continues to provide helpful support and references in the two years since our purchase.” – Paul & Suzanne
