“Susanne was able to help us quickly get out from under our investment property with $21,000 over asking price!
Our property was under contract within 3 days of listing and we closed in less than a month. Susanne was extremely thorough in each and every detail from the time we asked her for her help until the very end. She is professional and personable and has exceptional communication skills. She is very knowledgeable and helped us with questions that came up and was able to clearly explain and empower us to make our own decisions. She was a pleasure to work with and would definitely want to work with her again and highly recommend her.”

“Susanne is the most knowledgeable, responsive and client centered Real Estate Agent my wife and I have had the opportunity to work with.
She helped us find a new home (under construction) in Hendersonville. In as much as her husband is a builder, her knowledge of the ins and outs of the construction process for the buyer, as well as the real estate acquisition process in North Carolina, has been a real asset for us!
She has helped us in negotiating and working with the builder and giving us excellent input/advice in decisions we buyers need to make. She even sat in on a face to face decision making meeting and other communications we have with the owner/contractor! This is incredibly helpful as we live on the other side of the country and can’t be physically here very often.
Lastly, Susanne is an excellent communicator and has been reliable and responsive in keeping us informed through timely face to face meetings, emails and texts!”

“Susanne was wonderful to work with. We were selling my parents’ house, and throughout the process was unfailingly thoughtful, informative, and cheerful.
We felt well taken care of, and the process was smooth from start to finish. Highly recommended.”
— W. R., SELLER
“Susanne was extremely detailed and thorough. She did background work before we went forward looking at properties especially since I was out of state.
She kept me on track and redirected me when I started heading off course. She even drove neighborhoods that I was thinking about knowing my neighbors would be important to me. She worked with me for months before I finally found my dream property. She found it and encouraged me to check it out as I was hesitant but she knew me and it turned out to be the perfect home and surroundings for me. I highly recommend Susanne for your Realtor® as she is knowledgeable and organized and good at what she does.”
