Suzanne has twice snapped up the prestigious Real Estate Board of New York “Deal of the Year” Award. She sold two townhouses on the same block at the exact same time to different buyers. Along with townhouses, she has closed coop and condo sales in more than 38 Park Avenue buildings, not to mention residences on Central Park West and all the way down to lower Fifth Avenue, Gramercy Park and the Village. She has twenty years of experience, and no equal.
Dottie Herman, Douglas Elliman President and CEO, oversees 3,300 agents with a staggering $12 billion in annual sales, singles out Suzanne as “a role model in our industry.”
That praise confirms Suzanne’s unrivalled skills in working with discriminating clients who are frequently short on time, helping them prepare complex financial documents and conferring with real estate attorneys to pave the way for approval by rigorous coop boards on a consistent basis. In addition to name brand personalities and major figures in the world of art and business, her clients run the gamut: investment bankers, physicians, attorneys, politicians, economists, foundation heads, journalists and writers.
That level of clientele is drawn to Suzanne’s market savvy, and negotiating expertise coupled with the diplomacy so key to the fast paced real estate world. She got a solid background in mergers and acquisitions with Warner Communication, and honed her skills meeting deadlines at WABC News. Even her academic background is remarkable: Suzanne holds both a BA and MA in history from Columbia University, and also studied at Cambridge University in England. She serves on the Real Estate Board of New York Education Committee.
But above all, Suzanne’s clients point to her readiness to go above and beyond the call of duty. “She found the right schools for our children.” “She secured the perfect short term rental while my coop underwent construction.” “We can't imagine many other agents would have been able to so adeptly juggle and finesse all the issues that arose.” Recognizing her considerable expertise, many clients return to her time and again to find new apartments and sell their properties.
While the overwhelming number of residential real estate clients are rarely repeat customers. Suzanne runs counter to that trend. “I’ve used Suzanne for three different homes while having my business colleagues, my in-laws and a number of friends and just plain acquaintances bring her on as well,” says one long time client. “Hands down, there simply is not another broker in this entire town who can match Suzanne’s skills and graciousness.”
