“Susie is super responsive and will at a moments notice work behind the scenes you access to a property. Highly recommend! Susie was able to figure out exactly what the seller was hoping for in order to get a deal done. We were able to get the home for below market which is critical as we hope to renovate and use as an investment property/flip.”

“Susie was a pleasure to work with. We always felt that she had our best interests at heart and was more focused on making sure we were comfortable and happy with our home purchase than she was about just making a sale. We often drew upon her knowledge, and she was always quick to answer our questions no matter how obscure they may have been. If she didn’t know the answer to our question outright, she was quick to research and get us the information, so we felt she was available to us at any time. She was very understanding and accommodating of our busy work and travel schedules and was happy to meet us at odd hours to view prospective houses. We couldn’t have asked for a more professional and helpful realtor to have worked with and would highly recommend Susie to anyone.”

“Working with Susie has been an absolute delight! She is incredibly passionate, dedicated, and genuinely invested in helping you find your perfect home. She takes the time to really listen & get to know her clients, she guides and supports you through the process without being pushy or overbearing, and her response time is superhuman! Anytime I emailed or texted, Susie got back to me within 10 minutes! My husband and I began working with Susie in August, and we finally found and closed on our new home in November. Susie hung in there with us every step of the way. She even came over with a thoughtful housewarming gift and celebrated with us the day we got the keys. Just the other day, we received a lovely holiday card wishing us a “cozy joyful first winter in our new home.” We are truly grateful to have had Susie in our corner throughout this journey. She’s an absolute pro, and I would recommend her to anyone I know.”

“(Negotiation Skills Rating N/A because I had not been ready to make any offers on homes. We were in the looking stage only). Susie is such a kind and friendly and knowledgeable agent! She showed up with organized papers, emailed me helpful information about mortgage rates and estimate calculators, and her suggested list of other homes to check out were spot-on to my taste. She's very organized and has great follow through, which is so great given how time-sensitive responses are in the SF Bay Area market. Her communication is clear and detailed. She's also a great teacher if you're new to home buying and all the steps involved. She explained things patiently and in detail and made sure all my questions were answered. She also finds such beautiful homes!!!”

“Susie is super responsive and knowledgeable, and it was due to her due diligence that got me my first home in such a competitive market. We looked at many homes but I made one offer only and it was a done deal. Thank you, Susie!”

“Before Susie was a realtor we strolled through the neighborhoods, searching out houses that she had researched. She knew which architect, which design, which era. She would stop and talk with contractors and workers doing remodeling. She was, and is, incredibly interested in the design, construction, and commerce of real estate in the East Bay, a passion that has carried her into the work of being a realtor--and a successful one! I would trust her with any real estate related inquiry, acquisition, or sale. She has myriad connections in the community. She laughs and smiles though daily coffee on the avenue, meeting people, continuing to make connections. She is the grounded in the community and always makes sound recommendations.”

“Susie helped me when I needed advice about how to get my rural house ready to sell. Her out-of-the-box thinking was especially useful when I was figuring out how I wanted to price the house, and how to reach buyers, as my property is a little unusual. She understands what buyers find important in terms of fixing up a house. Overall she has been a great resource, as her knowledge extends beyond a typical agent's. Would highly recommend as a seller's or buyer's agent.”
