All of their listings sell at list price or up to 103% of the list price. After several sales of owners who said “I can’t sell my home the way it looks now.” Susan soon recognized she had developed a niche, supporting sellers' emotional and empathic needs when accepting and embracing the concept of a big change in their lives, moving and all the overwhelming parts to get to the finish line.

A systematic approach has been implemented to assist sellers with this transition. Susan walks through the house several times to discuss what to do to increase market value. “I work to net the owners much more money than they thought was conceivable. Equally as important, what not to do to save their money, as it won’t increase the sales price. Perhaps they are widowed, their parents have passed away, they want to downsize, or they simply want to take advantage of this insane sellers’ market.” Susan thrives on negotiating. She underprices the list price always (if sellers are on the same page) where numerous persons want to make an offer and thus, buyers’ bidding begins and driving the sale price up. Her listings sell within days; starting with a coming soon on the MLS, act as a teaser, similar to a trailer of a movie, where buyers are anxiously awaiting to visit the home when active on market.
