"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."

East Bay Residential
Sarah Marcus is an Oakland-based East Bay real estate agent specializing in residential home sales and condos, with more than 200 homes sold and over a decade of transaction experience. She is especially known for seller representation, pricing strategy, and high-impact pre-sale preparation. She serves clients across Oakland, Alameda, Berkeley, El Cerrito, Piedmont, Lafayette, Orinda, and Moraga, and is actively expanding her Lamorinda and luxury-market presence.
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 strengths, combining design intuition with human connection every day.
Since moving to the East Bay in 2013, Sarah has developed deep market experience across a wide range of neighborhoods and property types. Known for her persistence, design-trained eye, and strategic approach, she has earned recognition in national and local production rankings, including Top 1% nationally and Top 10 in Oakland by volume (RealTrends Verified). With more than 200 homes sold and a loyal base of repeat clients, her results are consistent and measurable.
Notable transactions include setting a record price-per-square-foot sale in El Cerrito, representing buyers in a $13M off-market purchase in Piedmont, and representing the seller of a $2.1M home in Orinda. Her transaction range spans condos through luxury properties, with a consistent focus on preparation, pricing, and negotiation discipline.
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 potterās wheel. She believes real estate is deeply personal and treats every client relationship with care, clarity, and purpose.
Sarah works with Compass, pairing her proven experience with advanced marketing and analytics tools to deliver a high-level client experience.
