As Tacom’as lesbian REALTOR®, I’m proud to help LGBTQ+ buyers, sellers, and allies throughout Tacoma and the South Sound navigate one of life’s biggest decisions with honesty, transparency, and a little less stress.
Hi, I’m Sarah.
Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest decisions you’ll every make, and it should feel exciting, not (maybe a little) overwhelming.
I’m Sarah Brandt-Erichsen, a REALTOR® based in Tacoma and proudly serving buyers and sellers throughout the South Sound. I created 253sbe Homes because I wanted to build a business that puts people before transactions, education before pressure, and relationships before sales.
As a lesbian REALTOR®, I know how meaningful it can be to work with someone who understands that finding the right home is about more than square footage. It’s about finding a community where you can truly be yourself.
Whether you’re part of the Queer community or simply looking for a realtor who values honesty, communication, and advocasy, you’re welcome here.
HOMES > HOUSES™
I truly believe where you live matters.
A home is more than walls and a roof. It’s the coffee shop you visit every weekend (or morning!). The neighbors who wave when you walk your dog (or cat 💁🏼♀️). The park where your kids/fur-babies play. The Pride flag down the street that reminds you you’re welcome.
That’s why I focus on helping people find not just a house. But a place that feels like home.
Because… HOMES > HOUSES™
Why Work With a Lesbian REALTOR®?
For many LGBTQ+ buyers and sellers, choosing a REALTOR® is about more than an experience.
It’s about comfort. It’s about turst.
It’s about knowing you can ask questions openly, talk about your family without hesitation, and work with someone who understands that feeling at home starts long before you get the keys.
Washington is one of the most welcoming states in the country, and I’m proud to help clients navigate Tacoma and the South Sound housing market with confidence. Whether you’re buying your first home, relocating to the area, or prepping to sell, I’m here to make the process clear, supportive and right for you!
That said, you don’t have to be queer to work with me. I proudly help buyers and sellers from all walks of life who appreciate honest advice, local expertise, and an education-first approach.
If you've ever wondered whether working with an LGBTQ+ REALTOR® really makes a difference, I share my thoughts, and what I've heard from clients, in this guide. → Read it here.
