Meet Sara

Sara Rotter joined the firm in the fall of 2011, and in her role as Senior EVP and Managing Director of Sales, she is responsible for the continued success and strategic growth or the Union Square and SoHo of Brown Harris Stevens.

Sara Rotter brings over two decades of experience mentoring agents with her signature hands-on and upbeat approach. A Certified Business Coach and former top-producing agent, she understands the challenges of building a full-time real estate career—and how to overcome them. As Sales Director, Sara has guided hundreds of agents, keeping them focused, adaptable, and inspired in an ever-changing market. Her leadership is rooted in connection, offering one-on-one coaching, collaborative brainstorms, and practical workshops that help agents continually grow. With an emphasis on service, knowledge, and personal development, Sara empowers her team to build careers that are not only successful but deeply fulfilling.

Sara’s path to real estate was unexpected. A proud New York City native, she was completing her post-baccalaureate pre-medical program at Harvard University when a difficult landlord experience sparked a career shift that became her life’s work: helping others thrive in real estate. From her early days in Boston—first as a top producer and later the exclusive on-site agent for a premier luxury loft development—to her current leadership role at Brown Harris Stevens, Sara has combined discipline, energy, and creativity to achieve results.

Today, Sara is not only a trusted leader within Brown Harris Stevens but also a respected educator across the industry. She is a regular instructor for both BHS and the Real Estate Board of New York (REBNY), as well as a sought-after speaker for Leading Real Estate Companies of the World, where she shares strategies with managers nationwide. Within BHS, she helps shape the company’s training as a member of the Education Committee, and she spearheaded both the firm’s wellness initiatives and Helping Hands, its philanthropic foundation supporting local nonprofits.

Passionate about giving back, Sara contributes generously to causes that matter most to her, including underserved New Yorkers and animal welfare organizations. Industrywide, she serves as Co-Chair of the REBNY Membership Committee and as a member of the REBNY Member in Need Fund, which supports professionals facing personal or financial hardship. Above all, Sara’s role as a Certified Business Coach continues to fuel her greatest passion—helping agents and colleagues alike discover their potential, reinvent their careers, and find lasting fulfillment in the real estate industry.

Outside of work, Sara embraces her vegan lifestyle and enjoys the arts in all forms—music, culinary exploration, design, and fashion—making New York City the perfect backdrop for both her personal and professional life. Her balance of business expertise, creativity, and compassion reflects the holistic way she approaches leadership, life, and community.
