Sue Giordano

We asked Sue to sell my father's summer house and she immediately developed a plan that moved both more calmly and more quickly than any of us anticipated. We had complicated steps to take to move out and she stayed with us throughout, providing us with local contacts that helped us address a septic tank issue as well as disposing of stored laboratory chemicals. She knows the market clock of this town's scientific summer community that proved invaluable for the very timely sale of the house. At every level, Sue was the ideal shepherd for the process of an inter-generational team trying to sell a beloved family spot with a strong collective spirit.

Working with Sue Giordano was such a wonderful experience! From the very beginning, she took the time to really understand what I was looking for in a home. She showed me several options and never made me feel rushed or pressured. She truly wanted to make sure I found the right fit. When we finally found "the one" she agreed that it was perfect and helped guide me through every step of the process. Her help went far beyond the sale itself. She connected me with a great mortgage company, attorney, and inspector, and even after closing, she’s continued to be a valuable resource, sharing information about electricians, handymen, trash collection, and local utilities. She’s such a prompt communicator and always made me feel heard and supported. I can’t recommend Sue enough to anyone looking to buy a home in the area. She’s simply the best!

Sue is the realtor with true insider knowledge, as a local resident who actively participates in her community she takes exceptional pride in her client-specific approach to finding folks the house of their dreams. We took many years to find the perfect place because of our niche goals and location desires and Sue was always patient and maintained enthusiasm till we found our ideal. She was also exceptionally helpful during negotiations and available to meet inspectors on my behalf. You could define the whole experience as having a “personalized touch”.

PRICING AND COMMUNICATION: Sue did not tell me what the property is worth. Instead, she presented data on several comparables and asked me what I thought the property was worth. I chose the midpoint. This arrangement worked very well. PREPARATION FOR SALE: With the intrinsic value of waterfront property, preparation for eventual sale started many years ago with extensive landscaping of a wood lot (curb appeal) and extensive remodeling of the interior. With the decision to sell, final improvements were made in coordination with Sue. Specifically, I contracted roofing, carpentry and painting and proposed that Sue handle the nitty-gritty of a major cleanout and cleanup--hard work, not fun. She accepted gladly. This arrangement worked very well. SALE OF THE HOUSE: As a professional Realtor, Sue knew exactly what to do. While handling cleanout/cleanup, she posted a sign of an impending open house and sale of the house and coordinated with me to contact people who had expressed an interest over the years in buying the house. With the location, the house, the curb appeal, the upgrades, the cleanout/cleanup, the outreach to potential buyers and the open house, Sue and I, working together, did an outstanding job of preparing the property for sale. The result was multiple visits to inspect the house and multiple, competing offers to buy the house--the ideal situation for seller and Realtor. On the grounds that I wanted to see the responses from the other potential buyers, I refused the first offer, which was an attempt to grab the house before the others could bid on it. The other offers came in higher: I chose one. Sue pronounced it exciting--I pronounced it successful. I attribute this success to the coordinated efforts of Sue and me over several months to sell my long-term investment at a good profit. I particularly want to thank Sue for the knowledge, gentle guidance and good work without which the excellent price would not have been possible.

Sue is kind, diligent and understood my needs and concerns. I didn’t want to have to micro manage the sale process. Sue collected necessary information and did her job to find me a buyer and quickly. She had great insight and we closed within 3 months. I highly recommend Sue for your real estate needs.

We have nothing but great things to say about our experience working with Sue in the home buying process. She was helpful and responsive and understood the nuances of this current market and had awesome ideas as to help make our offer stand out. She went above and beyond to make this process as smooth as possible for us.
