My husband and I lived in our home for 35 years. We raised our kids, made some of our best forever friends and made our home exactly perfect for us. We thought we would be there for the duration of our lives. We decided to “downsize” and move across town to the lake. We had never sold a home before. To be honest we didn’t even know where to begin.We heard through friends and family about Sue Kowols and the wonderful experience they all had buying, selling or both with SueWe knew the experience would be emotional. Sue made every part of the sale of our home as simple as possible for us. We have no experience with the process since this was our first time selling ever.Sue walked us through every detail. Sue not only is very knowledgeable in her profession but she is extremely patient. When I say we had no idea, I mean, we literally had no idea of the process. Sue kindly got us through each step making sure we had complete understanding of the decisions being made. We are very grateful and appreciative of all the help and guidance Sue gave us. Even though it was an emotional process, we could not have gotten through the process of selling our family home without the help from Sue.A true gem!

Sue is wonderful! As a first-time homebuyer, I couldn’t have asked for a better realtor! She was extremely helpful and walked me through each step of the process with clarity. Her communication was always prompt and clear, and she made what could have been an overwhelming experience feel smooth and manageable. Sue is very personable and easy to work with, and genuinely had my best interests at heart.

As first time home buyers in a competitive market with a lot of wants for a small boundary, we knew finding a home was most likely going to be tough. She was very responsive to our needs and would get us booked in open houses within hours. As we showed up to houses she always had a listing for us with every detail about the house we could need. She would be ready to take us to see houses multiple houses a day and was always on the lookout for every house posted in our boundary that meet our criteria. As we put an offer in on a house she helped us develop an enticing offer in a competitive market that we were able to get under asking price. Sue has great knowledge on the market, comps, and the construction of homes which helps buyers create a valued offer. She is incredible, knowledgeable, responsive, and committed to helping her clients find a place to call home! We couldn’t recommend her enough as a realtor!

Sue was so knowledgeable and easy to work with that she made the whole process simple, fast, and painless. Her insights and market knowledge helped us navigate this sale with everything we needed to know to make informed decisions that felt right. If you’re in the Chicago area, give Sue a call. Thanks again for making this like pressing the easy button!

I've known Sue for many years and I already knew she was a good and honest person, but this was the first time I got to see her in the real estate arena and WOW - she really knows her stuff! We had lived in our home for over 22 years, so in many ways we felt like first time home buyers because everything had changed so much. From the first time we met with her until we closed on our new house, Sue guided us through the process and we knew just what to expect. I would HIGHLY recommend Sue to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.

Sue is absolutely second to none.  She has a way of making you feel like you're her only client - always responsive and available for showings, finding out inside information and details about properties when questions arose and, when it came time to write an offer, dropped everything to get it done and negotiate appropriately.  With her construction knowledge, we appreciated that she would point out potential building issues for us to consider.  Sue was an expert in the areas we were looking to buy and realistic about expectations in the current market.  She worked tirelessly to help us find our forever home, and we are so grateful.  We would never hesitate to highly recommend Sue to anyone looking for a property!

As a first-time homebuyer, we couldn’t have asked for a better realtor. From the moment we started working together, she was incredibly patient, guiding us through every step of the process. Her knowledge of the market and home-buying intricacies was evident, and she answered all our questions—no matter how small—without hesitation. 

What truly set Sue apart was her unwavering support. She always listened to our needs and concerns, providing reassurance and valuable advice. We never felt rushed or pressured; instead, we felt empowered to make the right decision for our family. 

Thanks to Sue, we found an amazing first home. We highly recommend her to anyone, especially first-time buyers looking for a passionate and skilled professional! Thank you, Sue, for making this experience so positive and helping us find the right home for us!
