Boutique real estate across Calaveras, Amador & Tuolumne counties — where the Sierra foothills meet a life well-lived.
Every home Legacy currently represents across Calaveras, Amador & Tuolumne — live from the MLS, never a stale plate.
Sara and James specialize in the one transaction most agents won't take on — selling your Bay Area home and finding your foothills one, on a single coordinated calendar.
Each town has its own character — and its own market. Find the one that fits yours.
"Every transaction is a relationship. Every home has a story."
As Owner-Broker of Legacy Properties, Sara brings a rare blend of global perspective and hyper-local expertise. Internationally recognized for her public relations work — helping brands and individuals elevate their visibility and results — she applies that same next-level thinking to real estate.
An entrepreneur at heart, Sara has built and transformed businesses across the foothills, from reimagining a creek-side cottage to negotiating seven-figure ranch sales. Joined by James Beyersdorf, who specializes in land, acreage, and rural properties throughout the Sierra foothills, the Legacy team offers deep local knowledge that no algorithm or out-of-market firm can replicate.
Sara has always known what her clients want before they ask. The Legacy platform extends that instinct — tracking what you save, skip, and revisit, so the right listing finds you, not the other way around.
Straight talk about what's moving, what's stalling, and what it means for you — right now.
