Coordinated renovation, stood by us, and got top dollar!

We had Susan help us buy a home for our mother years ago, and this year we had her help us sell it. But just before we wanted to put mom's house on the market, we had a major flooding situation. We could have sold as-is, our easiest choice, but Susan recommended we renovate and try for top dollar. She was dealing with a group of siblings that had to confer on every decision, but she helped us through every step of the renovation, with a fantastic instinct for what would sell. When we had conflicts with the HOA, Susan advised and stood by us. There were so many issues with this sale, it must have been a total headache for her. But she was with us every step of the very difficult way - and got us the best price the neighborhood had seen! We are so grateful for her market insight, staging instinct, perseverance, and savvy.

I have depended on Susan Wisely to help me navigate five real estate transactions over the past decade, from buying a large home; downsizing to a smaller home and selling the big one; renting my smaller house when I was assigned abroad; purchasing a condo; and selling my smaller house at the top of the market. Susan has a terrific sense of the right price, the way to present and stage a house, and what factors to look for when purchasing. For the biggest investments of our lives, I continually turn to Susan. It really is Choosing Wisely.

Susan has helped us sell two homes at top dollar. The lady knows what she is doing. Take her advice, be open and honest with her, and she will be the same with you. She does not do this job for the money. She does it because she loves helping people realize their dreams. Susan is extremely savvy and professional… she is also very friendly and down-to-earth. When you choose Wisely, you have 24/7 access to Susan and all of the experience she brings to bear. Of equal importance is Susan’s integrity. She will never pressure you to do anything you don’t want to do. She will never sell you anything you don’t absolutely want and on the flip side, she will fight to get the best price for your home. The minute we decided to sell our most recent home, the first person we called was Susan because we knew she would work tirelessly for us. And it paid off. We have owned 7 homes and have rented almost as many. I write this to give you a sense of how many realtors throughout the years we have worked with. Susan is, HANDS DOWN, the best realtor we have ever worked with. Choose Wisely. You won’t regret it!

Way back when, Susan helped my buy the same house we just sold. I remembered how great she was - hard working, friendly, knowledgable - and so when it was time to sell, I made it a point to find her. Right up front, it was obvious that her knowledge, connections and skills had only grown over the years. My wife and I made a crucial decision as we embarked on our selling journey. We decided to put our complete faith in Susan and basically do whatever she recommended at every step of the way. She knew exactly what she was doing, and explained her strategy at every step. She stayed in constant contact the entire way, facilitating our efforts to prepare the house in the early days and, once under contract, throughout the closing process. The bottom line in selling a house is, well, the bottom line. Susan's savvy with the preparation, marketing, and negotiations led to a sales price that was far beyond what we anticipated going into the process, even taking in to account that the market was favorable to sellers. In summary, Susan is extremely knowledgable and savvy. She is hard working and knows the market; she knows how to sell for top dollar; and she makes the process as easy and stress free as possible. Do yourself a favor - hire her and pay close attention to her advice.

Susan is an amazing realtor! She worked tirelessly to get us top dollar on our less than perfect home in one weekend! Susan has impeccable attention to detail and helped us in the months prior to going on the market to ensure we did the necessary changes that would show our house in the best possible way. She helped with contractors, stagers, and landscapers. When the offers were in, Susan knew how to negotiate and turned “OK” offers into an extra $50k in our sale price! Selling our house was a high-stress event for us, but Susan tackled every bump like the fantastic professional that she is. I will tell all of my friends to Choose Wisely and use Susan to make the home-selling process a breeze!

Susan is undoubtedly a true professional and goes above and beyond throughout the entire process. She sold our home with 12 legitimate offers in two (yes, two) days. At the same time, she represented us in our new home purchase. Her coordination of the multiple parties, including recommendations for contractors to do renovations on our new home, was invaluable. Honestly I can’t imagine the process running any smoother, we even closed on both homes the same day. I highly, highly recommend Susan and her team, I’d never use anyone else.
