WHAT MY CLIENTS SAYÂ
"Suzan is a very experienced, hard-working, and professional agent. Her experience meant that the sale went through without a hitch, as she covered all bases and was constantly on top of things. It also meant that she was a terrific bargainer. In addition, Suzan was able to help us get the house ready to go on the market, advising us on what needed to be done, and recommending fairly-priced and skilled workers. Finally, Suzan is quite flexible and listened to our ideas about how best to market the house (we are somewhat experienced too). We certainly will use her again, whether buyer or seller."
"Suzan is the most experienced agent I have dealt with. Weather it is local listing knowledge, inspector contacts, construction contacts, and negotiations, she is the best bar none! I have referred Suzan to my family/friends and they all share the same opinion of her."
"Suzan Kozman was amazing!! She was so helpful with the whole process from start to finish. Helping us in finding a lender, searching for the perfect property, negotiations with the owners, inspections, appraisal, closing and escrow. Even great advice on decorating ideas!! You name it and Suzan was there for us every step of the way. Even when we got a bit discouraged... She was the best counselor anyone could ever have... :-) I highly recommend Suzan to anyone looking to buy or sell their home."
"she is very efficient caring and thorough. I recommend her to my friends and trust her 100 percent"
"Suzan is a great agent. She is extremely knowledgeable. If Suzan doesn't know the answer she will kill herself to find the answer for you. I can always count on Suzan to educate me regarding my transaction so that I know what I'm doing. After buying my current home and selling my previous home with Suzan's help, I would NEVER use anyone else."
"Suzan would be a great choice for a buyer's agent. She is incredibly patient and her negotiation skills are exceptional. She is skilled at obtaining key information and has a great sense of timing."
"I used Suzan to short sell my condo earlier this year. She is very experienced and was able to navigate the short sale quickly and efficiently. She held an open house, had multiple offers, and advised me on what strategy we should take. She's very flexible and personable as well. I'd also used Suzan to buy the condo 6 years ago, and she was amazing then as well. I also recommended her to two friends, who also used her to purchase their properties. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone buying or selling property."
"Suzan was wonderful to work with! She is very efficient, knowledgeable and available. Because of her responsiveness and excellent communication with my loan officer, I was able to get the home I wanted with a better loan and lower cost than expected. Suzan went above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied with the biggest investment I've ever made in my life."
"Suzan is extremely helpful in explaining the process (this was a first-time buyer). She was very responsive to all my phone calls and extremely receptive to our style, needs, and overall home desires."
"We had our eye on a house and used Suzan both as our selling agent and buyers agent. She managed to make both deals happen simultaneously, staying on top of every detail so that we could close on our old house on a Monday, and then fund and close on our new house the next day. She is as professional as they come, and we're going to miss speaking with her multiple times a day. Though we plan to stay in this house for a very long time, if we ever have to buy or sell, we're turning to her."
"Suzan was amazing. She delivered on everything she promised, and stayed on top of every detail. She immediately responded to every question and concern we had. She marketed our home well, and got us 6 solid offers in the first weekend. We sold for over 5% above our asking price, which was unheard of in our neighborhood."
"She was great. She was prompt in responding and her advice was always very good. Our condo sold at a good price and quickly due to her expertise."
"Suzan knows people and knows real estate. She got me far more for my house than I ever imagined."
"Very friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating to our schedules, we have used her twice and she is great."
"Suzan was easy to work with, attentive to our needs as a buyer, and a lot of fun to look at houses with. Her attention to detail and her knowledge of the housing market is amazing. She made a difficult escrow process a thousand times easier."
"Suzan works for you and assists in every phase of buying and selling your home. I would highly recommend Suzan to any friend."
"It was such a pleasure to work with Suzan. She is very professional and really goes above and beyond for her clients."
"Professional, dependable, highly qualified and worked extremely hard to sell the home in question. She was great at offering suggestions (particularly those which would improve the sale of the house), working through issues with her contacts, provided explanations and information to me at any time I requested same. All which ultimately lead to a successful conclusion. Would I recommend her to others. Yes, without any hesitation.I can't say enough good things about her. She's great!!"
"Suzan is one of the best real estate agent. She always stays on top of things and very responsive to her clients. She has an infinite amount of patience. She in fact worked with us for 3 years, patiently waiting until we found the property we wanted. I would recommend Suzan to anyone anytime!! I would work with her again in future for all of my real estate transactions."
"she is very efficient caring and thorough. I recommend her to my friends and trust her 100 percent"
