We had a terrific experience working with Sarah. She was extremely responsive, ethical and very proactive. She knows the market well and was helpful in analyzing it to help us make the best decisions. There were many condos for sale at Saltaire with shifting pricing. She kept us well informed of changing market conditions. Sarah was able to build and guide a plan that brought a buyer within a relatively short time frame. She is a pleasure to work with and we highly recommend her.
When Sharon and I decided to sell our home of many years we wasted no time in contacting Sarah Howe as we knew of her both personally and professionally. Hers was a reputation for being able to get things done no matter what the obstacles were. In our case we had a double size lot but had to split it into two sellable lots. Sarah spent a lot of time with the city figuring out how best to get this done. It was not easy but she never gave up. The time and patience she put in under difficult circumstances was amazing. Ultimately both lots went on the market and both sold! We can't say enough about Sarah. She truly has the gift of not only intelligence and tenacity in her work, but also doing it all with such grace. Sarah leaves nothing to chance and will always go the extra mile on every aspect of a sale. She's the best and we couldn't be happier with our result.
Sarah Howe is the most knowledgeable, tenacious, and skillful real estate agent in St. Pete. When we interviewed Sarah, she demonstrated a detailed knowledge of the condominiums on the market. She not only knew what the competition was but also the structure and amenities of each building. After listing our condominium, we immediately had viewings. We had multiple offers. Each of the potential buyers had unique needs that Sarah helped to satisfy. One couple needed day care services. Sarah found them. Another buyer needed a lender. Sarah put the buyer in touch with a lender that catered to his profession. When we were under contract, we had bumps in the road. After the inspection she had a handyman ready to assist. When our appraisal came in lower than expected, she worked with the buyer’s agent to show the future value of the property. When the buyers’ wire transfer was not coming throug…

When our appraisal came in lower than expected, she worked with the buyer’s agent to show the future value of the property. When the buyers’ wire transfer was not coming through in a timely manner, she worked with the closing agent and buyers’ agent to track down the funds. After numerous real estate transactions over the years, we have never had a better real estate agent than Sarah Howe. We give her the highest recommendation. If you are buying or selling a property in St. Pete, Sarah is the “go to” agent.
I met Don and Sarah as a buyer a few years back on a listing they had. Even though I did not end up with that property I could tell Don and Sarah were professionals that I would want to work with. 3 years down the road I made the decision to list my property. The choice was easy for me in choosing Don and Sarah to sell my home. They were very flexible with my wants and needs and always went above for me as their client. I would recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in St Petersburg!
Working with Sarah and Don was a pleasure. It was anintricate sale and they executed flawlessly on both the seller and buyers behalf. They are the best real estate team in our market! We would highly recommend them.
Don and Sarah did a fantastic job selling my father’s home! They were professional from our very first conversation. They told me what they would do to get it sold and they delivered. I had been working with another agent who was unable to sell it. When I listed it with Don and Sarah, the market was already declining, but they were still able to find the perfect buyer who loves the home and paid top dollar for it.
Don and Sarah have provided us white-glove service once again! We have had the pleasure of knowing them both personally and professionally for more than 15-years. They have helped us buy and sell several homes in St. Petersburg and we will not go with anyone else. The Howe’s have an impeccable reputation that has allowed them to build a strong network of professionals that are always responsive in providing us help when going to market. Their understanding of the local market and thorough comparative analysis has allowed us to receive top dollar on each of our sales. Our most recent sale received a full asking-price offer within 3-days of listing and the closing was fast and smooth. They are very accessible, and they quickly respond with well thought out advice. We enthusiastically recommend Don and Sarah and look forward to working with them again!"
After only 2 years living at Bayfront Tower, and enjoying the heart of St Pete’s shopping and restaurants, we found encroaching and increasing health issues were pushing us to a retirement home. Bayfront is to undertake extensive rejuvenation over the next 4 or 5 years and we asked Sarah and Don to offer our unique condo for sale – and if not salable, then for rent. They brought the exact buyer to us – young, qualified and who was able to appreciate the upside once all the work was completed. Don and Sarah priced it fairly for both buyer and seller and the contract to close only took 45 days which allowed us to move forward with our lives. We were never bothered with any questions or contingencies as Don and Sarah handled all the details flawlessly.
When I decided it was time to sell the home I owned at 1700 Beach Dr NE I wanted to make sure I was represented by the best realtors in St Pete. That led me to Sarah and Don Howe with Compass. My due diligence on them indicated that they are at the top of their game with a great track record in St Pete, and the Old Northeast in particular, as they are the top producers in that neighborhood - in fact the entire zip codes of 33701 and 33704. So it came as no surprise that they were able to get me into contract, nearly $200,000 over the proposed list price before even listing my home. We closed without any hiccups and I am a happy camper. Sarah and Don, thank you for giving me this result.
Although we knew Don and Sarah socially before we did business with them, we are glad we trusted them to list and sell our house. Their marketing is top notch and wide-reaching which generates lots of traffic. They are highly respected by fellow realtors and are diligent in following up and getting feedback from showings. Having young kids, the house was often not showable on short notice, but they invested 100% into the process of selling our home and would do whatever it took to have it show well and help get it sold, including hiring their own personal cleaners, blowing the yard themselves, researching options for adding an elevator, or adding accent pieces. Overall a great experience and result.
Sarah and Don bring the highest level of professionalism to all their transactions and clients and have a proven track record of sales. Both extremely connected, Sarah and Don are a force to be reckoned with in St. Petersburg, FL.
