My family currently lives in the Hugo/Lino Lakes area and our children attend school in the White Bear Lake district. (I have also lived in both North Branch and Shoreview.) Before moving to residential real estate, I loved my time working in commercial real estate in downtown Minneapolis.
It's not the same everywhere, so you need someone you can trust for up-to-date information and solid advice. I believe you will find my market research and knowledge to be superior to the average agent but more importantly, I hope you appreciate the individual planning and attention I give to every client.
Here are some of the things I can do for you:
Sell a Home
When it's time to move, you need someone who will advertise your home, show to prospective buyers, negotiate the purchase contract, arrange financing, refer top industry professionals, handle all necessary paperwork and supervise the closing. I can take care of everything you need, from start to close - and beyond.
Consult on Home Selling Strategy
Oftentimes buyers don't visualize living in your home the way you do. Together, we can make your home attractive to its ideal audience - which can help you get top dollar. Things like staging the home, making repairs or minor improvements, or even simply painting the walls can be the difference between a home resting on the market and one that's sold fast. Most importantly, we will make a plan unique to your situation.
Find Your Next Home
You need someone who knows this area inside and out! I can work with you to find the right home at the right price for you, including all the neighborhood amenities that matter - not to mention the essential criteria you have for your ideal home. When something hits the market matching your criteria, you can bet I will send it to you immediately!
Consult on Home Buying Process
Most people buy on emotion and that is great because it allows people to experience that thrill and excitement! However, we don't want this to end up in a decision you will regret down the road so let me help you with careful planning to ensure that you are ready to make a good decision when the right house comes along.
If you are both Buying and Selling, it's important that your REALTOR® makes a strategy that is specific to your situation. Working on both transactions at the same time can take delicate balance and requires you to form a close enough relationship with your agent that together you achieve your goals.

" "I'm writing this 'love' note to my Realtor, Professional, & Friend, Sarah Marrinan. You amaze me every day with your organization. You make me feel like I'm your one and only Client (even though I know there are many ;). You took ownership , made it personal, shared your knowledge, same day, even same hour responses. Now that is what I call SUPERIOR service. Thank you for helping me sell my home within 6 days of listing and at the same time, help me find my dream home! My dreams are coming true. I am so impressed and so happy with you! Is it possible to LOVE your Realtor? Of course! Thanks for always going above and beyond! You rock my world! "
-Amala, Client
"Sarah made my house searching experience as effortless for us as could be. We had previously worked with another agent and were disappointed that we never found a house. When we started working with Sarah, she really listened to our needs and made suggestions we hadn't thought of before. After looking at only a couple houses, Sarah made a suggestion to see a house she thought might be a good fit and we agreed to take a look. We loved it! We made an offer that was accepted and she quickly got to work with the lender and the title company. She kept us informed along the way and took care of any hiccups that came up prior to closing. We would certainly recommend her to our friends and family. -Ben and Cari "
