As a first-time homebuyer and a lifetime haver of anxiety, I entered into the process of purchasing a house with an unnerving amount of questions, stress, and preconceived notions about How to Buy a Home. I randomly called Suzanne on a Saturday morning to request a showing at a place in Dogtown and—to my surprise—she made herself available to see the home that afternoon. She met us right on time, joined me for the initial turn around the room to point out highlights and pitfalls, and promptly told me that I could do better. I had no idea! That there were homes—much, much nicer homes—that could suit both my budget and my lifestyle had not once crossed my inexperienced mind. There had to be a tradeoff, right? Wrong, said Suzanne. We're going to find the place that's right for you and we aren't going to settle. And so began our two-month whirlwind affair with every available property in the city under 200 grand. We climbed harrowing stairs, scoped out spider-infested garages, stood in horror-movie-approved attic spaces, and met at all hours of the day. Suzanne was up for anything, knew about everything, and always took the time to meet me when my schedule allowed. From February through May, I talked to Suzanne on the phone more than I talked to my blood relatives and I gotta be honest, sometimes I preferred it! Suzanne encouraged and empowered me to feel confident in my decision. At every home we discussed positives, potential, and price, and if they didn't line up we moved on. So when we found the perfect one—and I say we because it would have been impossible without Suzanne—we both knew it. I closed in May and haven't regretted the decision once, which is more than I can say about 99 percent of the choices I make on a daily basis. From our first call to closing, Suzanne was my advocate, my real estate/mortgage translator, and my support system. I came into this process knowing nothing and finished knowing Suzanne. That alone made my first home purchase a success. S. Craig, 7/24/17

Suzanne is a treat to work with! I've bought three houses now and the process of buying this one was the easiest, by far. Suzanne was very responsive, not AT ALL pushy, and absolutely willing to go to bat for me with all of my questions and concerns. In fact, I ended up having to do most of the steps related to closing while I was out of the country...and Suzanne made sure that everything was done well and on time. I would definitely recommend her! J. Levy, 7/05/17
