Sue was the absolute best to work with during our buying process. As first-time homebuyers, she navigated us through this crazy housing market and was always on top of getting in showings as fast as possible. She was very thorough in explaining each step of the process and had a great list of recommendations for literally any housing need. I highly recommend Sue for your future buying/selling needs.

Sue did a great job from start to finish. She kept me up to date on the progress of showings, possible offers, so communication was excellent. Most importantly Sue is a fantastic negotiator which resulted in a smooth closing and positive result.

Sue is amazing! Always quick in response and went above and beyond. Sue is extremely informative about all the facets of buying and selling a house. Sue felt like family after the process was finally over. Selling your home after living in it for many years is extremely challenging and Sue not only offers guidance but moral support. I do not believe any agent out there will fight for you as much as Sue will! Sue is a Rock Star

Sue was absolutely fantastic - I felt she was completely in our corner throughout the whole process and understood our needs. She thoroughly explained each step along the way and was there advocating for us. I would highly recommend her.

We really wanted to work with someone from the LGBT community who knew the area and could help us through the entire process. Sue was a perfect fit and was incredibly proactive and helpful every step of the process and we enjoyed working with her immensely. We did a lot of the purchasing remotely, talking with Sue quite frequently and getting regular updates from her. Once we identified several properties we were interested in, we came down for a few days and visited the properties and identified the one we wanted. Sue had done such a great job helping us narrow down what we wanted, it only took that one trip. Sue then walked us through all the steps of the closing process. The only other property I have ever purchased was in another state and the way things worked were quite different so it was great to get her advice. Even remotely the process was smooth and stress free. I would work with Sue again in a heartbeat. I will also definitely recommend GayRealEstate.com to friends looking for realtors!

Sue was very kind, personable, knowledgeable, competent, and patient, and exceptionally good about prompt communication.

- Paul M.

Sue went above and beyond for me and my family. I can honestly say that we probably would not be in our dream property if it wasn’t for her. She is a persistent, excellent negotiator, and made herself available to us nearly all hours of the day. She never stops! I’ve worked with other agents, but none like Sue. I would highly recommend anyone house shopping in Western North Carolina to use Sue.

We just completed the purchase of our new home here in Asheville. Sue was our buyer’s agent and we just can’t say enough great things about her!! My wife & I took a total leap of faith, moving, mid pandemic from San Francisco to Asheville & we fortunately found Sue!! What should have been a relatively straightforward transaction turned into a stressful & sometimes contentious negotiation. There were several times we just wanted to throw up our hands & walk away but Sue kept us on track, focused & realistic throughout. Sue always was our tenacious advocate, representative & occasionally our therapist reminding us of the “big picture”. She often worked late & through weekends to get the job done. Sue’s patience, agent experience & overall knowledge of this market, state regulations & general positive attitude got us the home we wanted, in a fantastic neighborhood!! We are truly grateful we found her & we’d recommend her without question to anyone!!

- Marci Lockwood

Sue was fabulous from start to finish. She made sure we know what was happening at all times and helped with what could have been a difficult transaction. She provided expert information about contractors we could reach out to, to get things done and was so available at all times. This purchase was for a first time homebuyer and Sue was very helpful.

It's official - first time solo home owner! Thank you Sue for being a rockstar. Feels good to be home!

Sue is awesome! Sue explains things very well to people that have no clue what they are doing :) and will return phone calls ASAP no matter time of day. Sue stays in contact but is not pushy which is what we like. Now let’s sell a condo! :)
