Sarah Brightly

Listing Partner - Nicole Kessler

With 20 years in Austin, Sarah brings a design-minded and detail-aware approach to real estate. Before joining the Nicole Kessler Group, she managed a portfolio of short-term rental properties, where she refined a strong sense for how people truly live in a space, something that now shapes the way she prepares and presents homes for market.

As Nicole’s Listing Partner, Sarah oversees every step of the listing journey, from pre-market planning to vendor coordination, staging strategy, photography, launch strategy, and contract milestones. She is known for her calm communication, thoughtful problem-solving, and ability to make the process feel clear, supported, and beautifully executed.

A long-time Austinite and mom of three, Sarah is active in the Cedar Creek Elementary Booster Club and loves architecture, design, historic homes, shady neighborhood walks, and cooking for a full table of family and friends, usually with two goldendoodles somewhere underfoot.
