Sarah Lewandowski

Being named a 2023 Rookie of the Year regional finalist has proven to Sarah Lewandowski that she has made the right career choice. “This is huge validation for me as a new agent knowing the time and commitment I poured into this first year of business is recognized—I am so humbled by this honor!”

Like so many others, Lewandowski made the decision to become a real estate agent at the height of the pandemic boom. “LIttle did I know the level of competition I was taking on as an agent in the 2022 market,” she explains, crediting her unfailing drive as critical to her success. “When I take on a new career path I go ‘all in’ on drive and determination with my time, energy, relationships/knowledge-building to push the limits of my baseline rookie max potential,” she says. “I also likely drove my team leader and some agent colleagues crazy in the quest to advocate for my buyers!”

Lewandowski has found a home amid the “unpredictable adventure” of real estate. “Getting to ‘throw the confetti’ and celebrate with clients when they win the offer on their dream home, and make the process smooth, memorable and enjoyable is the most rewarding part of the experience,” she says “Helping them makes me a better, more resilient and empathetic person—the most rewarding part of real estate, bar none.”
