"Erick is simply the best! He helped us tour houses remotely and share in-depth insights of San Miguel housing market. Given the low inventory, it took sometime to find the dream home and Erick is always very responsive. We highly recommend Erick to anyone want to buy property in San Miguel!"

"Erick Sakal generously spent time showing me and several members of my family around San Miguel de Allende. His knowledge of the city, professionalism, patience, and genuine enthusiasm for helping people were exceptional. We learned a tremendous amount and greatly appreciated his time and generosity. I would highly recommend Erick to anyone considering San Miguel de Allende."

"Erick Sakal is an amazing realtor and a wonderful human being! We switched to him when our previous 4 realtors couldn't do anything to sell our house in SMA. We had a ton of showings and not a single offer and a lot of times they told us our house was on the buyers' top 2 to choose from and they always ended up making an offer on the other houses. Needless to say we were very frustrated. Erick was highly recommended by a coworker at CDR SMA. And we were soo glad we agreed to work with him (wish we had him from the very start)! His work ethic is phenomenal. Aside from being tech savvy, he also actively looks for potential buyers and not just wait for them to contact him. He is very approachable and so easy to work with. He listens to you and doesn't get defensive when you ask him questions. He is on top of things and will update you constantly. When he says he will do something, he does it. We cannot recommend him highly enough!!!"

"We had an outstanding experience working with this real estate team from beginning to end. Eric and Sarah were knowledgeable, professional, and available to answer questions and provide guidance throughout the entire process. Their attention to detail, strong communication, and dedication made buying our home in San Miguel easy. They both went above and beyond to ensure the transaction was efficient and that our best interests were their priority. Their market expertise and negotiation skills were outstanding. We would highly recommend Eric and Sarah! We had a very positive experience."

"We met Sarah and Erick when we walked into the CDR San Miguel de Allende | Forbes Global Properties office near Parque Benito Juárez. I work as a realtor in the U.S. at a Forbes Global Properties office, and while the shared affiliation initially connected us, I would choose to work with Sarah and Erick regardless. We spent most of our time with Sarah throughout the process, and her genuine, grounded approach made for a pleasant experience—there was never any rush or pressure. Over time, with her guidance and perspective, we were able to refine our criteria to best suit our family's lifestyle in San Miguel de Allende, which ultimately led us to the right neighborhood and property type. Through the negotiations, transaction process and closing, Sarah and Erick proved to be a strong and seamless team—consistently attentive, professional, and readily available. We would recommend them over and over and over, and at this point we'd consider them friends!"

"We met Erick and Sarah over a year ago, and from the beginning, they were incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and thoughtful. We came to San Miguel de Allende with no clear idea of where—or even what—we wanted to buy. Erick and Sarah took the time to help us understand the local real estate market and guided us through many neighborhoods and homes. After exploring several properties, they encouraged us to consider building our own home—a suggestion that turned out to be the perfect path for us. We narrowed our focus to Vista Antigua and toured every available home and lot in the area. Erick ultimately identified the perfect lot, and with his help, we successfully made an offer. He also connected us with several excellent architects to kickstart our design/build journey. We're now in the early stages of building our SMA home and look forward to moving in by Christmas 2026! Thank you, Erick and Sarah, for your insight, guidance, and support every step of the way! Fletcher and Kelly James"

"Erick Sakal and Sarah Bender are not only husband and wife, but are also fantastic advocates for those wanting to purchase a home in San Miguel de Allende. They each have their own strengths and skills and they complement each other perfectly. As an engineer, I appreciate Erick's experience as a developer as he understands good architecture and quality of workmanship in a home. His advice on home selection considering these criteria was invaluable. Sarah complements the team as she is able to understand the needs and desires of her clients and guide them to the types of homes and neighborhoods they will be excited to see. We couldn't be happier with their assistance in selecting our home. -Barry Hanover"

"Hemos hecho un gran equipo con Erick y sus colegas. Profesionales y muy amables. Muy recomendados."

"We had the pleasure of working with Erick Sakal in January 2023, in our search for our next "happy place" in San Miguel de Allende. Erick was both professional and personable in his efforts. Always very accommodating, working hard to get answers to our many questions, and offering excellent advice regarding how to approach a particular property of interest. Through no fault of Erick's we made a different decision, but he would be on our short list of real estate professionals to work with in San Miguel."

"Erick fue un excelente persona quien llevó nuestra propiedad a la venta. A pesar de tener unos meses con pocas probabilidades de venta, la comunicación y trato siempre fue excepcional y se encontró al cliente ideal y estuvimos muy contentos con todo el proceso. Recomiendo muchísimo."

"Eric worked with us over 5 months and many trips from the States to SMA to look at houses. He was very patient and kind helping us until we found the right home. I recommend him out of all !!!"

"Una experiencia de venta genial, llevaron el proceso de venta muy rápido y sin tapones, excelente atención de su agente Erick Sakal, son muy profesionales"

"My home in San Miguel de Allende is currently listed with Sarah and Erick Segal and I recently bought a home where they were co-brokers. Both experiences have been terrific! They are very pleasant to work with and very knowledgeable about the SMA real estate climate, realties and practices. They are responsive and proactive. They have years of experience in this market and are both fluent in English and Spanish which is of course a huge plus here."

"La atención fue super amable. Las instalaciones están hermosas e inmediatamente el ejecutivo que me atendió: Erik Sakal ¡vendió mi casa en un mes! siendo que estuve atorada por más de un año con otra empresa. Altamente recomendable."

"We sold our SMA house through Sarah and Erik in early 2025. I cannot say enough nice things about them, from their level of professionalism and attention to detail, to their excellent communication and reliability. SMA is full of realtors who talk a big game but are not educated, driven, or at all professional, so we really did our research and looked into who we thought would be motivated to work on selling our place (and actually knew what they were doing). From the first time we met them I knew they were the best choice, and throughout the process they were with us every step of the way. They offered assistance to us that went well above and beyond that of a realtor, stepping in in an emergency situation without hesitating when we were out of town. They answered every little question I had, got back to me quickly with thoughtful responses, and made sure we were comfortable with every aspect of closing. Their marketing efforts were top notch, from open houses to professionally produced video ads and social media campains. Now, even after our closing, they are reaching out and helping with a few lingering questions I have. I can also confirm we received the funds in our bank from their recommended escrow company, the same day we closed. Aside from being just lovely people all around, they are without a doubt the top choice for your real estate needs in SMA!"

"Sarah and Erick strike a rare balance between true professionalism and genuine personal care. I began working with Sarah long before I moved to San Miguel, and she seemed to understand my taste, priorities, and needs almost immediately. Every property she shared felt thoughtfully chosen, and I always felt listened to, respected, and supported. When it came time to buy, Sarah and Erick guided me through the entire process with exceptional attention to detail, responsiveness, and expertise. They were always available to answer questions, anticipated concerns before I had them, and made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and enjoyable. Their commitment to understanding their clients and advocating for them every step of the way sets them apart. I not only found a home I love, but also gained two people I deeply respect and now consider friends. I recommend them wholeheartedly."

"Erick's service to us was comprehensive, upbeat, and energetic. He was a pleasure to work with."

"My wife and I interviewed a number of local agents before selling our home in 2025. When we met Erick, we found him to be very friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. He speaks French, Spanish and English fluently. Owing to the fact that he has been in San Miguel for most of his life, he knows the town, its properties and most other agents very well. He and his wife Sarah, who is British, make a great team. Whenever we had questions they were very receptive and able to find the answers. Within a week of posting our listing, they brought us a full price offer with a quick closing. Were we just lucky? We think Erick and Sarah had a lot to do with it. They are very professional and thorough with all of the real estate details in Mexico which to us, were difficult to wade through. This helped tremendously. We have recommended Erick and Sarah Sakal of Live in San Miguel to our neighbors and do so to anyone interested in buying or selling a home. We will call them again when the time comes."

"When our long search for a second home in a temperate climate finally led us to San Miguel de Allende, as foreign nationals with little knowledge of the local language or real estate transaction process, we knew that finding the right real estate agent would be critical to minimizing our stress while realizing our dream. After my first online interaction with Sarah (one half of the Live in San Miguel Team), I had every confidence that she possessed the personal qualities, professional skillset, and local knowledge to guide us through the exciting but daunting process of locating and purchasing a house in San Miguel where we would always feel at home. It was while working with Sarah to create a short list of properties to tour that I learned that she works as a team with her husband and fellow CDR San Miguel agent, Erick Sakal. Metaphorically speaking, it felt like we'd hit the jackpot twice, as Erick came to us with his own specialized knowledge and skillset, including an in-depth knowledge of the San Miguel real estate market and a background in residential real estate development. Together, Erick and Sarah formed our personal dream team. As our agents, Erick and Sarah provided us with an unparalleled level of professional and personal service. This statement may sound trite or hyperbolic, but as our primary residence is in a rarefied resort community with a high per capita percentage of real estate professionals, we're well aware of the industry standard. When the property sales contracts were signed and the house keys handed over to us, Erick and Sarah continued to make themselves available to us as advisors and translators when we needed new homeowner assistance; their many favors and kindnesses could fill this page on their own and continue to this day. Erick and Sarah delivered us the home of our dreams, so we don't foresee buying another property in San Miguel de Allende, but should we decide to begin the search again, the CDR Live in San Miguel Team of Bender and Sakal will be leading it. -Allison and Barry Hanover"

"Excelente, llevaron el proceso de la venta de nuestras casas de forma muy profesional."
