Susan found us our dream home! It took us a while to find the right house, but she was so helpful, not pushy, very patient, and I always felt like she had our best interest at heart. She made it fun. We had rented from her for several years before buying and we look forward to working with her in the future and referring anyone we know who is looking. Thanks Susan!!!!
