Sage at LacMont Realty Group is efficient, professional, thorough, and kind when it comes to the home-buying process, and my partner and I feel very fortunate to have worked with Sage in the purchase of our first home. As at-the-time prospective home owners, my partner and I interviewed several realtors and toured homes with them. Sage stood out for the following reasons: 1. He was quick and thorough at responding in his communication, which clearly demonstrated his responsiveness and efficiency. He was also very thorough when it came to inspecting homes with us. He pointed out details that we never would have noticed on our own, such as the noise-level of the dishwasher that was installed. 2. Sage met us where we were at as first-time prospective home owners by balancing educating us as first time home buyers and keeping us focused on task, which led us to feeling knowledgable and confident about our decisions without feeling overloaded. Even though Sage must have seen hundreds (or more) homes, he shared in our first-time-home-owner-excitement. 3. He provided honest feedback as to whether he thought places were "worth it" and ran comparisons with other comparable homes in the area to support his viewpoints. 4. When we walked into the home we now own, Sage was able to pull together a competing offer that day, and he made it clear what we needed to "win." We won. ;) 5. Post-closing on the home, Sage went above and beyond by staying in touch, and connected us to some folks in his network, such as a general contractor, who helped us finesse our home further. My partner and I have recommended Sage to all of our friends, family, and colleagues as he surpasses all expectations.

Sage transcends expectations, making first time home buyers like my wife and I feel as though we're his only clients. From the initial consultation we were convinced Sage not only had the experience, credentials and desire to help us find the best possible home we could afford but we also knew we could put our trust in him completely. We were rewarded for our faith in Sage as he led us through each showing providing valuable insight into what we needed to be aware of with each property as well as being fully prepared with comps to help us understand the true value of each listing. As promised, Sage was ready to guide us through the process of "winning" the deal when we had decided on the home we now own. He crafted the offer and expertly set the timeline putting us in the best position to make our bid come across as serious and fair. I will not attempt to portray our experience as typical in Seattle's extremely hot market, however thanks to Sage we did win the deal and got the home we wanted (which was also the first home we bid on) below list. Sage prepped us with his thorough comps so we knew we were already getting our home below the market value, which kept us from putting forth an offer too low to be taken seriously. Sage is sincere, exceptionally professional, and has a fantastic sense of humor which serves him well but more importantly it will serve you well if you are fortunate enough to enlist him as your agent.

My husband and I can’t thank Sage at LacMont enough for all his work and advice in helping us purchase a home. We recently moved from Chicago to the Seattle area, and started working with two other real estate brokers before being introduced to Sage. We connected with him immediately, and loved his energy, hard work, and humor. He listened to us about what we wanted in a home, gave us great insight into the local real estate market, which was very hot, and advice on what we would need to do to win if things got competitive. We never felt pressured, and when it came time to make an offer, Sage crafted a strong and creative one that worked within our parameters and which was accepted! Looking back, Sage made what has been in the past for us a very stressful process feel more like fun, and he kept us both upbeat and positive throughout the whole process. I already recommended a friend who will be moving to Seattle to speak with Sage, since I know she, like I am sure all others, will be in very good hands.

Sage was extremely patient and helpful throughout the house hunting process. He didn’t try to fit me into any house, he helped me find the right house. I am new to the area, so we started on just finding neighborhoods that matched my style and needs. We continued to refine that while he showed me a bunch of houses just to calibrate his understanding of my preferences. Each set of houses he curated for me helped refine his understanding of my taste. By the end, every house was a house I liked in a neighborhood that met my needs. Through multiple offers and setbacks, like COVID-19, Sage always came through with enthusiasm, confidence and professionalism. He knows the Seattle area very well and was able to combine that knowledge with what I was looking for to narrow and refine our search after each house we viewed. His experience as a long time broker paid off in strategizing how to make the winning bid. It took me a long time to find my house, and it’s really perfect for me. THANK YOU SAGE!

I am a first time home buyer and my husband and I were referred to Sage Newman. We had met with a couple of other brokers before and knew from our first showing with Sage, he was our guy. Starting from the first call, he really put us at ease with his vast knowledge of the market. He really listened to what we were looking for, took time to get to know us and you truly feel that he works for YOU from the start. He was always responsive through email or text. He's engaged, patient, never rushed us, and always made time for us and answered endless questions. He makes you feel like you are the only client! He made the entire process seamless as first time home buyers and really kept us informed all along the way. I can't say enough that he builds instant trust and really made this experience stress free. In the end, we went in for our first offer and got it accepted. Thank you, Sage! Anyone buying a home should just make the call to Sage. You can't go wrong with Sage looking out for you!

I bought my home with the help of Lacmont Realty Group, Inc. real estate agent and managing broker, Sage Newman. As I moved across the country, I was completely new to the Seattle area. Sage was instrumental in making sure my move across the country went as smoothly and stress free as possible. He provided me a list of areas around Seattle to visit and then provided me lists of houses in the best areas that fit my criteria. Sage always answered his phone and replied promptly to all emails. His customer service is top-notch! From dealing promptly with lender issues to getting HOA information, no request was too much trouble for Sage. Not only that, but Sage is funny and witty, which made the process of buying a house almost fun. If I could give Sage 6 stars I would!

Sage at LacMont Realty Group helped us find a home a few months ago, and I cannot imagine the process without him. 1) I was very impressed by his knowledge and willingness to point out trade offs for potential homes. There were many times he pointed out positive or negative aspects of a home during a tour that we did not notice, several times being a deciding factor to continue looking for other homes. Even so, he never took an approach that was pushy, only informative. 2) He was always available, even at times I did not even expect a response. 3) he helped at every stage of the process from looking at homes to making a to-do schedule for closing actions, and his responsiveness never wavered. We will definitely return to Sage if we ever decide to move in the future

All I can say that Sage Newman went above and beyond my expectations and found me & my wife a fantastic home. After viewing over 30 properties he painstakingly reviewed my criteria and patiently showed me different areas and homes. My goal was to find something that was unique, had an impeccable view and was large enough to accommodate my growing family, including my white German Shepard, Apollo. Sage is concerned with his clients desires and it shows. Also sage was instrumental is helping me link up with financial institutions. With his Harvard degree and also his MBA he truly shows that he has amazing training and deep passion to give his clients the best. I recommend Sage & LacMont really with utmost enthusiasm.

I worked with Sage to buy my first home. My experience working with him was great! He was extremely patient with me while we figured out exactly what I was looking for. He spent time with me, explaining how the offer process worked, and I really valued his opinions on the different homes we looked at together. I could tell he wanted to find something that was a great fit for me, and I never felt pressured into making an offer. He was always available to answer questions, and go to viewings, and was very diligent in looking through inspections, comps, and other documents. I would highly recommend Lacmont Realty Group, and I'm thankful to have been able to work with Sage while buying my first home!

As first time home buyers, we are very thankful to have been able to work with Sage throughout the home buying process! From our initial kick off meeting, to subsequently closing on a home, Sage did an outstanding job of keeping us educated and informed. He always took into consideration our home preferences and budget needs, while being able to structure competitive offers in this hot market. We were able to tour several different homes with Sage and appreciate his honesty and perspectives he had to share. Would highly recommend working with Sage if you are in the market for a home! - Miso and Julie

No wonder why all feedback here describes a great experience of people that worked with Sage! Sage’s professional skills and hard working ethic made our first time buying a house a pleasant journey! It happened in a tough market and there were enough factors to make it stressful. We purchased a new built and dealing with builders sometimes adds more unexpected turns. But with such experienced realtor as Sage it was simplified and it worked out in our favor. Will definitely know who to contact in case we would sell or invest in real estate. Thank you!

We highly recommend Sage to new and experienced home buyers alike. He was an excellent resource to our new-to-Seattle family, providing advice and strategy regarding how to be competitive in this current market. Although we've owned several homes previously, we would rate Sage as our favorite agent because he was so patient, responsive, and positive - and we felt like we could trust him every step of the way. We'll definitely be giving him a call when we purchase a future home. Thank you, Sage, for making a stressful process a whole lot easier!

Working with Sage Newman from LacMont was a complete pleasure. I was a first time home buyer who was completely overwhelmed by the process. The sellers wanted to close from start to finish in less then a month. Sage not only connected me with an incredible lender who could get the job done with the best interest rate, he also answered all of my & my parent's questions as well as connected me with a wonderful moving company. He's efficient, kind, reputable & a person of integrity. You are in good hands working with Sage & LacMont Reality.

A tremendous asset to the real estate community, Sage worked diligently finding me a property that exceeded my expectations ten-fold. He's very thorough and attentive to details when it comes to real estate and laws governing both commercial and private property. I wouldn't trust any other agent. Even after multiple bids for my property, he found me a way to eclipse a victory by making my bid most favorable and beneficial to both parties. Best agent in Seattle!

My real estate agent Sage was fantastic. I was a first time home buyer so he explained the home buying process very clearly as well as listened carefully when I had questions. I described my ideal home and then he showed me exactly what I wanted to see. His service went above and beyond. When I chose the condo I wanted, I felt confident that he would do everything he could to close the deal for me, and he did. Highly recommended!

I had an amazing experience working with Sage at LacMont. Sage was professional, knowledgeable, and courteous, traits hard to come by in my opinion. He was always available, understood my needs, and worked non-stop to find the investment I wanted. I would highly recommend anyone who is looking for a hard-working, highly intelligent, and fantastic negotiator to be in your corner for any real estate transaction.

I highly recommend Sage Newman and LacMont Realty when purchasing a residential or commercial property. Sage knows the Seattle market and the surrounding areas better than anyone I have met. Whenever I need insight on the Seattle market, he is the first person I contact. There couldn't be another person who will work harder for his clients and have the best information about the markets than Sage.

It was a great experience working with Sage towards purchasing our first home. Sage was professional, responsive, and patient with us as first time home buyers. His knowledge of the housing market, timely advice and assistance at every step of the process made the home buying process smooth for my husband and I. We highly recommend Sage and LacMont Realty Group for home purchase and sale.

I would highly recommend Sage Newman to anyone!

Exceptional service and professionalism. Sage made purchasing a property in the Seattle's hot market very easy for me. Sage's experience and expertise helped me adapt to (what appears to be) a changing market and shifting mortgage market. Thanks for being so patient during this whole process, Sage! We love our new home.

We recently relocated to Washington from the east coast and no idea about neighborhoods in this area. Thanks to Sage we were able to find our dream home! Sage helped us every step of the way and was always quick to respond to any question or request. He truly made our home buying experience a breeze!

Sage is incredibly easy to work with, responds very fast to all communication, and really made me as comfortable as possible with the home buying process. I'll definitely be referring him to anyone I know who needs a realtor!

Sage was a very professional, pleasant and dedicated realtor to work with. We were first time home owners and he took us through what can be a cumbersome process very smoothly. Thank you so much Sage!
