Sarah Kinney's business philosophy is to make the home buying and selling process appear as effortless as possible.

Sarah is a full service Real Estate professional. A twenty-year veteran of the industry, she has access to quality resources, pertaining to every aspect of the Real Estate experience.

Sensing the Internet would become a major factor in Real Estate, Sarah quickly embraced the phenomenon and continues to look for the latest Web innovation. Be sure to visit her home on the World Wide Web at www.sarahkinney.com and ask about her latest PDA!

3M, Medtronic, Ecolab, where does one begin? Sarah has her finger on the pulse of commerce in the Twin Cities. Although she has a head for business, Sarah's heart is with the charities and non-profit organizations. Her favorites are Model Cities of Saint Paul, Minnesota Public Radio, The American Refugee Committee, Cornelia Place and The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra.

Sarah completed her undergraduate studies at Saint Olaf College. After receiving her Masters from the University of Minnesota in Child Development, she taught in the field of Special Education for ten years.

Recently Sarah received a personal commendation from CEO Alex Perriello of Coldwell Banker and Ralph Burnet of C. B. Burnet for outstanding service to one of her clients (see testimonials). Consistently one of the top Real Estate Agents in Saint Paul, Sarah also received an International Award for being one of the top 50 agents in the company!

'I am writing because it isn’t often enough in life that we stop and give credit where it is due. I recently purchased a home here in St Paul. My first home. I was scared by the process, the paperwork and all those zeroes! On the advice of literally dozens of people, I called upon Sarah Kinney. While my purchase was only a fraction of the price Sarah regularly deals with, she treated me as if I was her only client. She spent time with me, explained each and every step of the process to me. After hearing so many horror stories, I was amazed to find in Sarah an advocate, advisor and friend. I never lost a nights sleep. I owe that to Sarah. I hope you will take note of this exceptional woman who brings esteem and high standard of customer service to your corporation. She is an asset to us all and I plan to use her services and recommend her and Coldwell Banker to anyone who will listen. I thank you for your time and for hiring such special people to represent you.'

While seamlessly maintaining her single family residential business, Sarah has recently been involved with two very unusual projects and more are on the horizon. Developers have come to her in search of historical guidance and expertise as real estate professional.

The first project is The Rossmor. Built in 1916, the Rossmor Building is well known among the artistic community for its wide-open spaces, huge windows and great light. Currently, under Sarah’s guidance, these true loft spaces have been successfully converted into 129 condominiums making them truly livable while carefully maintaining the character of the historic building.

The second development is a 57 unit, new construction project called The Aberdeen. Again, with Sarah’s inspiration, has been thoughtfully designed and will be beautifully crafted to blend seamlessly into the surrounding historic community. The Saint Paul Heritage Preservation Commission unanimously supported and helped shape the plan that was created to blend modern urban living with time-tested values and integrity.

Sarah is originally from Hilliard, a suburb of Columbus, Ohio. She’s an avid reader and loves to travel. Her passion is renovating her turn of the century Victorian home. Her gardens were recently featured in two magazines one regional and one national. A third publication featuring her home will be on news stands soon.

If I am not mistaken, I saw a Berlitz French tape in the back of her car recently. I think she’s been brushing up on some old high school and college courses. Parlez-vous francais?

Sarah’s mission is to provide personal care, quality service and expert guidance through the Real Estate labyrinth. Whether you’re purchasing your first home or selling your fifth, her goal is to make the experience as pleasurable as possible. An expert at matching people with houses, the title “Matchmaker” fits Sarah perfectly!
