Hi there! I am one of the few who had the pleasure of growing up with our state and national forests as my backyard. Wired to wander and explore new communities, I attended UNC-Wilmington after graduating from Brevard High School. I then moved to Charlotte, NC, and began my career with TIAA Financial Services. In 2013 I chose to leave the comforts of that job (and the United States) to serve two years with the Peace Corps in Moldova, Eastern Europe. While there, I assisted in the development of local infrastructure including youth leadership programs, civic education, and engagement, as well as new partnerships for public amenities. It was the hardest and most rewarding experience of my life.
In 2015, I returned home to plan my next adventure. Little did I know it was waiting for me here! While working as an agent for Connestee Falls Realty, I fell in love with Brevard all over again. Assisting buyers and sellers in all walks of life was just one of the many things that made real estate a natural fit for me. Helping them fall in love with our beautiful area was easy. In January 2020, I purchased the company and met my husband, Ben. We are happily married and live in the Connestee Falls community with our pup, Tito.

Testimonials
We have been looking to buy a house in the mountains for 10 plus years and I could never find an area that I truly loved until I contacted Sarah. First of all, she was the only person that actually took the time to call me back (I was an out of towner). Once we met up and started looking we really went at it. She showed me a bunch of houses all over the area all while I had 3 kids and a puppy in tow. We looked for a solid week (poor Sarah). But finally, after some budget changing, we found a house we Loved!! Sarah is truly part of our family now we could not be more proud to call her our friend and favorite Realtor/Broker.

I had responded to a home listing on a realty website, and called Connestee Falls Realty, as they were the listing agency. Sarah Hysong answered the phone, and I immediately knew that she was going to be a pleasure to work with. From an initial interview of our preferences and desires to a day-long tour of approximately 15 homes in the Connestee Falls complex as well as in the town of Brevard, Sarah narrowed down the homes that she found to fit our needs. As a Brevard native, Sarah gave us an incredible insight into the area, town and various aspects of the amenities available in and out of Connestee Falls.

Sarah Hysong helped me sell my property here in Brevard. She came enthusiastic and well prepared, and every interaction I had with her after that was the same. She and her sales partner proposed an efficient sale process, arranged for the staging and photographs, gave me good and thoughtfully critical advice on finishing the house. The sale went very well. I would recommend Sarah and the rest of the folks at this office for sure and would use them again!

I worked with Sarah Hysong on selling my home in the summer of 2018. I found her very helpful and responsive to my needs. I was out of town for much of the time my house was being shown so she took the responsibility for having my house open and ready to when a showing was scheduled. The website kept me well informed with feedback about each showing. She handled all the details of the sale as well as helping with setting up inspections and negotiating. She was positive and encouraging. I recommend her highly.

I am pleased to write a review for Sarah Hysong. Over the course of my life, I’ve dealt with many realtors and Sarah rates as one of the very best I’ve encountered. She actually became my realtor through the luck of the draw when I first contacted the office about a showing. Over the course of almost a year, Sarah showed me numerous homes for sale. She was extremely patient with me as I turned down one after another. Sarah was always pleasant and I never felt rushed or hurried to make a decision. When I contacted her regarding a home I wanted to see, her response was always prompt, both in returning the call and setting up a viewing.

Sarah was open and honest about the homes we toured if she was the listing agent, and even showed us a few homes that were not even for sale at the time, but were due to be completed in the coming months. It was certainly not a difficult decision to purchase the home in Connestee Falls, the area speaks for itself. Sarah communicated by phone or text promptly, and coordinated everything for our closing. Since we are from out of state, and not moving in immediately after closing, Sarah has acted as the property manager and directed the installation of utilities, appliances and general oversight of the home until we could arrive. Sarah and Lynda Hysong even went out of their way to ensure that a car I had shipped down got delivered and put into the garage….at 10 PM on a Thursday night! The level of expertise and commitment to detail sets Connestee Falls Realty apart from other agencies that I have worked with. I truly feel as if I have been treated like a friend and not just another client.

My wife Ellen, who is a realtor here in Florida, and I have been working with Sarah for over 4 years looking for just the right 2nd home in Connestee Falls. Sarah has been awesome to work with on our journey. She is very knowledgeable, friendly, patient and professional. All her hard work finally paid off as she found us exactly what we were looking for in Qualls Village in Connestee Falls. Everything looks good and we should close in a couple of weeks. She has been awesome thru this entire journey and I happy to call her my realtor as well as my friend. She has my highest recommendation.

We first came to Brevard in 2016 just looking for a pre-retirement home. Stopped at Connestee Falls and met Sarah. We liked her right off. She was very attentive and answered all our questions. Sarah was never pushy but was available anytime we needed her. Sarah sold us our first home in Connestee.
Of course when we decided to make another move, we did not have a second thought about who to call. Sarah has helped us through 2 very beautiful home purchases. In addition to working hard, being very professional, and looking out for our best interest, Sarah has made us feel like part of the family.
I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a home.
Thank you Sarah Hysong!
