Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty is delighted to welcome Sara Passov to our Relocation Services team. With more than two decades of experience in corporate relocation and client support, Sara brings a remarkable depth of knowledge, versatility, and heart to her work—qualities that make her an exceptional addition to our organization.
Sara began her relocation career in 2001 with Prudential Relocation, where she quickly established herself as a trusted Counselor and Account Manager. Throughout her tenure, she managed both domestic and international relocations for major corporate clients, including UTC, Bridgestone Firestone, Unilever, and American Express. Her hands-on experience navigating complex moves has shaped her client-centered approach and her ability to support transferees with professionalism and empathy.
A licensed Arizona real estate professional since 2016, Sara offers a comprehensive understanding of the local market and the unique needs of individuals and families relocating to the region. For the past three and a half years, she served as a Relocation Coordinator under the leadership of Gabe Brown, further strengthening her expertise in operational excellence, communication, and relationship-driven service.
Originally from Wisconsin—Go Pack Go!—Sara is a vibrant and multi-talented individual whose sense of adventure extends far beyond her professional life. Her background includes work as a High Ropes Course instructor, teacher, and even as “Farmer Sara” in a Baby Farm animal program. She has also led Before & After School programs for both the Madison School District and Paradise Valley Schools, showcasing her passion for community, education, and meaningful connection.
Outside of work, Sara enjoys scuba diving, traveling, and camping with her husband, John, in their teardrop trailer. A creative soul, she also loves hiking, singing, playing the ukulele and guitar, reading, gardening, making artwork, and crafting jewelry. At home, she is happily accompanied by her beloved cat, Monroe, and her dog, Stella Blue.
Please join us in giving a warm welcome to Sara Passov as she begins this exciting new chapter with Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty. Her experience, enthusiasm, and dedication to client care will be invaluable as we continue to elevate our relocation services and support our ongoing growth across Arizona and beyond.
