As first time homebuyers in early 2022, my husband and I didn't think we would be able to find a house we liked (and had most of what we wanted) and have an offer accepted with how crazy the market was at the time. Susan's experience and expertise were absolutely invaluable during our search. Her knowledge of the market and the Madison area, as well as contacts with other top tier professionals (mortgage companies, contractors for any home repair you can imagine, etc) was extremely helpful. She is reliable, responds quickly to emails/phone calls, and really has the client's best interest in mind. She was very flexible which was really appreciated given our busy work schedules. From my initial email to beyond our closing date, she took very good care of us and treated us like family. She is also a lovely person and a lot of fun to work with, which was really nice with how stressful home buying can be. With her help we were able to beat out 37 other offers to purchase a house we adore. If I ever need to buy or sell a house in the future in the Madison area, Susan will be my first call. read less

We've recommended her to many friends and family and will continue to do so! read less

Susan was fantastic to work with. In particular, she was always on the spot with communications, kept us totally informed all along the way, and always answered the call, text or email. Susan also brings a great professionalism, excellent eye for detail, and solid acumen for the market. Our process went off very fast and without a hitch. I don't often write reviews (unless they're really bad), but Susan deserves high praise. read less

She is really friendly and knows the market well -- she had a lot of helpful connections (e.g., other realtors, inspectors, mortgage broker, contractors for estimates, etc.). She listened to what we wanted, didn't mind that we ended up seeing a lot of places before making an offer, and was happy to give her advice or opinion, but never made us feel pressured. She stayed on top of everything that had to happen leading up to and during the closing process, and was great about keeping us in the loop. We feel lucky to have worked with Susan and recommend her highly. read less

Susan represents her clients as if she has a personal stake in the transaction at hand, and she adapts her approach to your needs.I can't recommend Susan enough. She is knowledgeable, responsive, patient, and a VERY effective negotiator. What's more is that she goes out of her way to ensure her clients' peace of mind and minimize the hassle of what is typically a very stressful experience.Susan gets my vote in EVERY category, but especially for:*First-time buyers who need a little higher level of expertise*Sellers in tricky sales situations (like COVID!)*Out-of-state and long-distance buyers/sellers requiring a little extra patience and support*Those who are new to Madison and need someone who knows the local market better than anyone elseSusan is a true professional and an incredible asset to her clients. Five stars! read less

She was with us throughout the process of selling our home, searching for a new one, and ultimately building our dream home. She gave us fantastic advice throughout and used her years of experience to help us know exactly when to list in the off-season. We had a packed open house and double digits of showings the first day, and then multiple competing offers even in the middle of Wisconsin winter! She helped us look at a few houses to buy and when we weren’t finding what we wanted in the market she helped us through the building process (even giving advice on resale items, when asked). Susan went above and beyond to support our family through this process (including helping watch/distract our toddler when needed!) and I recommend her to all my friends. read less

When we found the home that we wanted she helped us negotiate and understand everything about the process. We got our dream home and owe it all to her! I doubt we will be in the market for a new home any time soon, but if we are, we will definitely be working with Susan again! read less

We wanted to purchase a home in Madison from out-of-state, and Susan proved to be the most knowledgeable, professional, accommodating, and personable broker we could have wished for.
Purchasing from out-of-state meant that Susan needed to have a clear understanding of what we were looking for in terms of style, location, and price. We were not very familiar with Madison’s neighborhoods and were thankful for her experience with and knowledge of the area.
We were looking for an older house with character and found just that. The only thing that needed to be done was a kitchen remodel, and that in our mind was a plus. The remodel offered an opportunity to put our stamp on the house. She set us up with a kitchen designer and various contractors all of whom were exceptional.
Susan also found us a lender who was great to work with. The whole purchasing process went smoothly and quickly.
Susan is an excellent communicator, getting to the point quickly, and returning emails and phone calls promptly. This was so important in our long-distance communications. Susan is a problem solver. Our transaction was typical: issues arose suddenly that could have derailed the transaction. Susan shepherded the purchase through all obstacles with skill and patience. We feel very lucky to have had the opportunity to work with Susan and would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate in the Madison area.

She is highly knowledgeable, well connected, very responsive, has an amazing sense of urgency, and is very genuine.

When the perfect house came on the market we quickly (literally within days) found ourselves in a competitive bidding situation. Susan was absolutely brilliant and got us a house that is truly one in a million. Thank you Susan! read less

As first time home buyers it was important to us to have someone experienced who could walk us through the process and help us with any negotiations, and we found just that in Susan. She patiently explained the entire process to us (sometimes more than once if we needed it) and was super flexible working around our crazy schedules. She went on all of the tours with us, had an excellent list of recommended folks for inspections and financing, and really was invested in helping us find the right home. She used our wish list but also got to know us to help us find what we wanted before we even knew what the perfect home could be! When it came time for negotiations Susan patiently explained all of the options along with pros/cons so that we could make the right decision for ourselves. On top of all of her credentials and excellent skills as a savvy business woman, she also is a genuinely nice person who really cares about and takes care of her clients.

However, Susan never lost confidence and assured us we’d find the perfect home.
