Meet Sarah
Sarah Heck is an award-winning REALTOR® with Coldwell Banker West and a trusted advocate for homeowners throughout San Diego County and South Riverside County. Consistently ranking in the top 5% of REALTORS® in San Diego County and within the Coldwell Banker brand, Sarah has represented buyers and sellers since 2007, bringing deep market knowledge and strategic expertise to every transaction.
Before entering real estate, Sarah built a strong foundation in the lending industry—experience that continues to set her apart. Her understanding of mortgage lending allows her clients to structure competitive offers, navigate financing options with confidence, and secure the best possible outcomes.
In the wake of the 2007 real estate market collapse, Sarah made it her mission to help distressed homeowners avoid foreclosure. She founded and operates SDH Processing, a short sale negotiation company dedicated to working directly with lenders on behalf of homeowners. Between 2007 and 2019, Sarah and her team successfully negotiated more than 2,000 short sales across California, helping families preserve their financial futures while creating opportunities for new buyers. Her work extended beyond individual transactions—she played a role in advancing legislation that protected homeowners from unfair taxation following short sales.
She continues to advocate for private property rights at the local, state, and national levels, volunteering her time as an expert witness and serving on government affairs committees to stay ahead of legislation impacting homeowners.
Deeply committed to giving back, Sarah supports the community she calls home through both service and philanthropy. She has served on the Board of Directors for the Coldwell Banker West Foundation and has participated in fundraising efforts for organizations including Habitat for Humanity Women Build, Ronald McDonald House Red Shoe Day, and Just in Time for Foster Youth.
Sarah’s passion for real estate, advocacy, and community is evident in every relationship she builds and every transaction she leads—earning her the trust of clients and colleagues alike.
A respected leader within the real estate industry, Sarah has served as President of the Pacific Southwest Association of REALTORS® and as a Director for the California Association of REALTORS®.

Presentation Matters. I Handle That for You.
When it comes to selling your home, presentation isn’t never an afterthought.
I partner with a professional staging team and cover the staging investment (typically $3K–$4K per property) at no cost to my sellers, to ensure your home is thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and positioned to attract the right buyers from the moment it hits the market.
This means your home shows at its absolute best, without you needing to figure out furniture, layout, or design details on your own.
You don’t need a “perfect” home to sell well.
I'll help you create one.
Staging helps buyers emotionally connect to a space, understand how it lives, and envision themselves there. It removes distractions, highlights the home’s strengths, and supports stronger first impressions — both online and in person.
It’s one of the ways I make the selling process easier, more strategic, and more effective for my clients.
Giving Back Is Part of How I Do Business
Housing has always been more than a transaction to me — it’s stability, opportunity, and the foundation for everything that comes next.
Over the years, I’ve been intentional about supporting organizations that strengthen our local community, especially those working to ensure young people have access to safe housing, education, and long-term support. This work matters deeply to me, and I believe meaningful impact is created when we show up consistently, not just seasonally.
