Sara grew up on Skaneateles Lake, where she developed the love and appreciation of its unsurpassed beauty as well as the surrounding Finger Lakes region. While living and working in Manhattan, she was fortunate enough to purchase the lake property that her parents had developed in the 1960s and where they had built their summer retreat.
A busy career in NY honed her management skills as well as developed a strong sense of customer satisfaction. Ultimately, Sara returned to Skaneateles to live full-time, subsequently offering the opportunity to raise daughter Agnes in this incredible environment. Her long-time interest in architecture and design led her to become a licensed real estate sales associate. Currently working with Lake and Village Realty, Sara offers experience and great knowledge of the area to both buyers and sellers.
