I met Suzanne at an open house and was instantly impressed with her professionalism and her likability.  I kept her contact information for future use, as I had a second home to sell and possibly another one to buy.  When I approached her to ask if she'd be our broker, she graciously accepted, even though it was out of her area.       The house needed lots of repairs and upgrades, and Suzanne was there to help me make decisions about where to put the money to appeal to the most people.  She has a great talent for design, which she gladly shared.  Even when the money was exhausted, she helped me get a Windermere loan to finish the project.  I couldn't have done it without her.  She's also a master stager and staged the house at her own expense.  It took many months to sell (nothing to do with her), and still she (or another agent) was there to hold open houses until it sold. I'm eternally grateful for Suzanne's help and guidance on this sale and for the friendship that developed.
