Sara helped me sell my previous home as well as purchase my current one. During the time my previous home was for sale, my husband passed away suddenly; she was very kind and supportive during this difficult time in my life. Her computer skills helped me find my current home, and her negotiation skills helped me buy it at a price I could afford. She continues to be a good friend. Stephanie D
Very Knowledgeable and Experienced –
Couldn’t have asked for a better agent. Sara knows what she’s doing. Barbara F.
Sara had been highly recommended to us by friends who had relocated to Durango, and we got it touch with her when we came. She has helped us with all our real estate needs and questions - - and more! She knows the area extremely well, and she's terrific.
Great Agent!
Sara is an amazing agent. Experienced, intelligent, high energy and very personable. I contribute the success of the sell of my house to her professionalism and dedication to her work. I would highly recommend Sara for any real estate transactions.

Danielle and I are first time home buyers. Fortunately for us we were pointed in the right direction, to Sara Staber. She patiently walked us through the entire process, and answered all of my first time nervous buyer questions in great detail, sometimes more than once, because she understands the human side of the real estate business as well. Overall, our experience with Sara and her staff was fantastic. They are professional, honest, reliable and made the complicated process of purchasing a home strait forward and easy. I would, without hesitation, recommend Sara and her team to anyone looking to buy or sell in this competitive real estate market. Sean & Danielle M.
I had the distinct pleasure of working with Sara on the sale of a vacant residential lot that had languished on the market for several years in a down market. She did a fantastic job of marketing the property (using drone images) and negotiating with the buyer's agent to consummate the sale. When a pesky title issue emerged, she had it resolved almost immediately. Sara is the consummate professional, and the ultimate "local" when it comes to her knowledge of the Durango market. Personally, she is intelligent, articulate, and has a great sense of humor! Anyone looking for an outstanding agent in the DRO market need look no further than Sara Staber. Don A
Sara and I clicked early on, and she was great for helping me price my home at a level I was happy with. She helped me through what can be a stressful process, and made things run smoothly.
I recommend Sara for all real estate dealings in this area.

Sara handled the sale of our home in Durango with professionalism and friendliness. She demonstrated a common sense approach to all issues. She is trustworthy and very knowledgeable about the real estate market. Nancy C
Sara handled the sale of several ranch properties for our family. For ranch land in Southwestern Colorado, water rights are very important. Sara was very knowledgeable of the myriad of water related issues related to the land we were selling, which really helped us best decide how to represent the property. Along with good marketing and representation, we were able to get full asking price offers, even in the challenging market of the past few years. She managed the complicated contracts and associated issues with the property pleasantly and efficiently.

We were introduced to Sara through a mutual friend who had used her services in the past. Being from out of state with busy schedules, Sara asked us a series of personal questions with respect to our preferences.
Then she came back with a short list of properties that fit our needs. We were successful in finding and purchasing a property we truly love.

Sara's pre-listing advice helped us present our home to potential buyers in the best possible manner, resulting in a quick sale. Her hard work, honesty, and expert negotiating skills made the transaction proceed smoothly from start to finish. Deb D.
Sara answered her phone on a Saturday, listened to us, and met us within a few hours with a list of properties to show us. She is a local who understands the details, she always gave her honest opinion and never tried to sell us, but did everything possible to help us find our vision property. She walked, hiked and met with us several times and always was friendly and accommodating. Her knowledge of the area and land values were invaluable to us, her negotiation skills were excellent. I would recommend Sara to anyone who is considering property in Durango. We could not have had a better experience.

Initially I was convinced that it would be advantageous and not that difficult to sell my house without the help of a Realtor. After several months of publicizing the sale of my home using online platforms like Zillow, FSBO.com, and others, I soon realized that it was going to take more than posts on a website to attract buyers.
I needed someone who was familiar with the market, had an active network and the resources to get the word out. In working Sara, my reach to prospective buyers multiplied almost immediately . . . read more on the reviews page.

Excellent, friendly and professional –
Sara is an absolute delight to work with! She gives her time generously, and is very thorough and communicative. I am greatly appreciative of Sara’s very friendly – and very professional approach to selling my house. Thank you Sara! Gayle O.
We wanted to sell our rental property and since our main home was already listed with Sara we asked her to list the rental house. Sara looked at comps and came up with what we thought was a fair price. Within a few weeks we had a cash offer and the house sold. Sara was on top of the negotiations and kept us informed at all times. I would highly recommend her should you need a real estate agent! Robert D
Great Agent!
Sara was amazing to work with! She is very knowledgeable, friendly, and always patient with me. I would highly recommend her to anyone! Nancy D.
We have worked with Sara repeatedly as buyers and as sellers in 2011, 2013, and 2014. She is professional, knowledgeable, thorough, and friendly. If you're looking at buying or selling you'd do well to consider working with Sara.
Sara is a very experienced and professional agent. She follows up on everything very quickly. She knows the market and speaks frankly and honestly. She is very organized and knowledgeable about all the paperwork to get a home listed, sold, and closed. I would recommend Sara to anyone buying or selling a home or other real estate. Hope & Brandon W.
What a great experience it was to work with Sara Staber. Although in the end I did not purchase, she knew the inventory thoroughly, listened to my needs, got back to me quickly, and was very easy to speak to.
Wish I had been able to complete the purchase. I will absolutely use Sara again.
Janet K.
Sara helped find this cute little house. She was quick to get us in to see the property and negotiated the sale before it had a chance to get away! She is very knowledgeable about the Durango market and surrounding areas. She was on top of every detail from start to finish. Definitely recommend Sara if you are in need of a top notch Agent.
Michelle M.
Sara Staber is a very knowledgeable and competent Realtor. Also a very pleasant person, easy to work with. She was dedicated and tireless in presenting my property for the best sale. She worked with me through the whole process and sale contract, not like other realtors who walk through a house and some of the property, then tell you they will put it on the internet but do nothing beyond that. I highly recommend her.
Barbara E.
We have worked with Sara as our agent on four transactions over the past eight years or so. Two on the buy side, two on the sell. In all cases we found that she brings top levels of market knowledge and professionalism to the table. She's also prompt, proactive and personable. Sara is a leader in this part of CO! Steve & Betsy
We have bought and sold 7 properties in the past 16 years and have never had a more hard-working, ethical and knowledgeable realtor.
Sara hiked miles of ranch land with us while we chose our dream ranch in gorgeous SW Colorado. Then she handled all the contracts and paper work with integrity and professionalism. Sara made the long-distance purchase of our Colorado dream retirement ranch effortless because she is super organized, always available and pays close attention to every detail. She's a rare combo in the realty world! Thanks again, Sara!

Sara's computer skills in setting a program that emailed to me all properties I would be interested in was extremely helpful in findng my new home. She answered all my questions about the home and the HOA quickly and clearly. Her negotiation techniques enabled me to buy the home at a price I could afford. Stephanie D.

Buying or selling real estate is exciting and often one of the largest financial transactions in peoples lives. It is a complicated process and takes a proficiency in many disciplines: the local market and values of course, the Colorado state real estate contracts, including understanding and fulfilling all the contract terms and perform the due diligence necessary for the transaction. My job is to help you accomplish all this and achieve the best result with the least stress and most confidence. There is great satisfaction in assisting with the successful purchase or sale of a property that clients are happy with. That is my goal!
In addition to real estate, my professional background is diverse; including tourism related businesses, resort management, home construction, natural resource management, facilitation and mediation. I also served for 9 years as a La Plata County Planning Commissioner and as a member on several boards for both volunteer and other associations.
One of the most rewarding factors of being a Durango area Realtor is sharing this incredibly beautiful region with new people. Having lived overseas and traveled extensively, I am continuously surprised to find that SW Colorado is so unique and has so much to offer. Imagine living in one of the best vacation spots that you could visit worldwide! We not only have an incredibly vital community here but there are also more activities than time in the day. Some of my favorites are adventuring in our San Juan Mountains (on foot and horseback), running, boating, skiing, snowshoeing, yoga, and exploring new territory; whether it’s the high desert or back country mountain peaks. This is truly a very special area and a wonderful place to call home!
I would love to assist you in Buying or Selling a property.
