"Sarah Marcus was Superb in handling the sale of our home. She was professional, provided excellent advice on home remodeling work and guided us through the sales process particularly after a break-in. She has excellent strategy and was able to obtain several good offers, and one offer that is our dream price. We are grateful for her work and would be happy to recommend her to others."

"Sarah was a straight shooter with a professional, friendly demeanor. She was always prepared and provided excellent guidance for maximizing my house's value and making the selling process quick and smooth. Her list of preferred partners (inspectors, stagers, etc.) was deep enough that I found one of each to my liking. Ultimately, Sarah did a great job pulling in multiple offers, and her and her team successfully guided me to the finish line even sooner than I expected.

Seller closed May '23; Richmond

About Sarah
Sarah Marcus Logo
From the time she was ten years old and sketching floor plans for fun, Sarah Marcus knew she was meant to work with homes. Her early dream of becoming an architect evolved into studying interior design and fine art in college; training that still shapes the way she sees space, proportion, and possibility. Real estate became the perfect intersection of those passions: a career that lets her combine design intuition with human connection every single day.

Since moving to the East Bay in 2013, Sarah has fallen in love with its mix of cultures, climates, and architecture. The region’s diversity and creativity mirror her own approach; strategic, artistic, and people-focused. Known for her persistence, design-trained eye, and out-of-the-box strategy, she’s earned her place among the Top 1% of RealtorsĀ® nationally and the Top 10 RealtorsĀ® in Oakland by volume (RealTrends Verified). With more than 200 homes sold and a loyal base of repeat clients, Sarah’s results speak for themselves. In 2024, she set a new all-time record for price per square foot in El Cerrito, and in 2025 helped her buyers achieve the near-impossible—securing a $13 million dream home in Piedmont through an off-market opportunity.

Clients describe Sarah as clear, confident, and refreshingly direct. A fierce advocate for sellers and an intuitive guide for buyers, she leaves no detail, or stone, unturned.

Outside of real estate, Sarah is a devoted mom to a middle schooler often spotted on the lacrosse field supporting Lamorinda Lightning, and a passionate ceramic artist who finds joy at the potter's wheel.

Sarah believes real estate is deeply personal and treats every client relationship with care, clarity, and purpose.

I’ve joined Compass and I’m so excited to pair my proven experience with their cutting-edge tools and strategy to deliver an elevated real estate experience for every client.
