Frederick Shinn
Manahawkin, NJ - Jul 23, 2026

On a lazy Saturday morning over a cups of coffee, my wife and I saw a listing on Zillow that interested us. Our interest was further peaked that afternoon when we happened to drive by the property on the way to visiting a friend. We told our friends about the property and they recommended Susan, who they used to represent them several years prior.

We wanted to see the property so we called Susan who quickly arranged an appointment to see it on Monday morning. We met at the property and Susan explained to us the listing history and some of the history of the house itself. When my wife and I decided to make an offer, Susan clearly explained the process and assisted us through the negotiation, contract signing, and the inspection. She even helped us in securing financing and saw the process through closing.

Susan truly made the purchase as seemless as possible. She is a true professional and we would not hesitate to use her again or recommend her to family and friends.

Susan was an extremely valuable partner in our search for a Barnegat Bay home. She has in depth knowledge of the micro locations of each neighborhood, which helped us focus on areas that met our requirements. We set a budget with her, which we started to overstep, and she professionally reminded us that we could achieve our goals within our budget but we had to stay disciplined in the search. Ultimately we found exactly what we were looking for in our budget. Susan made herself available at all times and was very communicative. A pleasure to deal with and highly recommend her! She is the best!

Susan was incredibly helpful throughout the entire home selling process. Her knowledge and experience in real estate made everything feel smooth and stress-free from start to finish. She was always available to answer questions, explain every step, and make sure everything stayed on track. I truly appreciated her professionalism, communication, and dedication. I highly recommend Susan to anyone looking for a realtor who genuinely cares and knows the business inside and out!

Susan helped my husband and I through a very difficult purchase and agressively sold the home we were selling. Susan was professional, knowledgeable and patient in helping us find the home that fit our needs.
