Susan is reliable, creative, sharp, and extremely knowledgeable when it comes to old houses - what looks intact, what doesn't - and properties overall. She's also just really fun to work with. We were looking for an old farmhouse on a piece of property that we could turn into a dream farm - sloping hills, old barn, mature trees, views, the whole shebang. She understood the project right away. She worked with us diligently for over a year, worked through various thought experiments to help us hone our vision, and got us what we wanted. I just can't say enough about how fantastic Susan is as an agent and as a person!!
I felt I could ask anything and get an honest, knowledgeable answer to my questions. As a real estate agent, you went above and beyond to guide me through a challenging and stressful situation—especially while purchasing a home amidst the pandemic. I felt that I had a strong and intelligent voice on my side throughout the entire house buying process. Thank you for everything!

You were the perfect seller’s agent: you were kind, enthusiastic, insightful, and still told us the truth so we could get our home in the right place to sell it fast. I’m so glad we took your very wise advice....you “got” the house, understood how to represent it, and ultimately (and quickly) got results.
You kept on top of the process at all times, and acted when you thought action was needed to generate interest in the property.
In short, you don’t just list a house – you sell it.
It has been a pleasure working with you. I feel the advice and suggestions you shared to improve our house for showing were spot-on. I appreciate your diplomacy in dealing with us through negotiations. You are a master of your craft.
We will gladly give your names to friends that are looking for a real estate agent to help them success in selling their home.

Susan was absolutely amazing. She possesses the personality to deal with individuals on a personal level. She sold our home located in Cherry Valley.
We were very lucky to have such an amazing agent by our side. From start to finish her expertise in the real estate world was astonishing. We truly appreciate your hard work and dedication .

Susan is the best realtor we've ever dealt with--and we speak from the experience of house hunting across 6 states for over two years! Susan was punctual, always communicative, helpful with explanations and resources for every aspect of the house-buying process. She followed up swiftly and advocated for us tirelessly, always with good humor, energy and complete transparency. She has continued to be extremely helpful and welcoming as we've joined the Upstate community. There are not enough stars to rate her wonderful performance on the job, and we recommend her with highest marks!
We feel so fortunate that Susan was our agent for the sale of our home. Susan is so personable and responsive, two qualities that helped make the process go smoothly despite some challenges that came up. She was up on the current state of the market in our surrounding area and could counsel us wisely. Whether your deal happens quickly or takes some time, you'll find yourself working closely with your agent. Susan is a person that you'll appreciate working with from the outset and through to closing.
