About ourselves:

We are both fun-loving and down to earth individuals.

Sarahi is a Stanford alumnus who just recently moved back to the area from Washington, D.C. She now works at Stanford University. Sarahi is committed to keeping a clean home and enjoys cooking. She is very active, but also knows how to relax and enjoy the moment. She likes to wind down with a glass of wine and a good movie or TV show.

Brant is a Stanford alumnus who works at a consulting firm in the Bay Area. He played baseball at Stanford and was drafted by the LA Dodgers in 2014 and has played minor league baseball for the past couple years. Brant enjoys watching movies, watching/playing sports, playing video games, going out for a drink or two on the weekend, and relaxing with friends.

We are looking for a working professional who is friendly (we don’t have to be friends but we do have to get along well as housemates) takes care of common areas (maintaining furniture, appliances, TV in good condition), and is committed to keeping common areas consistently clean. We’re good communicators, laid back, and we like to be drama-free, so we are looking for similar traits in a roommate. We’d like everyone to have a calm, peaceful living environment to come home to after work, as well as a great space to entertain and enjoy on weekends!
