Rated 5 out of 5 stars.

I have had less than good interaction with several agents in the past ,they treated my needs as part of a business day ,when I was introduced to Susan it was by a good friend and she took care of me as if I was family ,she answered my questions and was there to open the door for me whenever I wanted to see a house, I feel I received the best quality of attention and professionalism I could ever expect. Her experience and not showing me any old house just to get a sale was extremely appreciated, she was very professional, and easy to talk about my wants and needs in a home, all in all my experience with Susan was excellent, and I would refer her to anyone looking for a hard-working diligent agent.

Susan built a personal connection from the very first interaction. She truly made me feel that my needs were the priority and came out in inclement weather to ensure I found my home! She is down to earth, prioritizes the client needs and always accessible.
I became very close to her during this process and will stay in touch as well as recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell. She's top notch!

5 Stars. Susan was my agent for selling two houses. In both cases, she was exceptional. She knew the market, and got us top dollar. She was highly responsive, supportive, and gave advice without pushing us in any direction. I highly recommend to anyone looking to sell a home!

Susan Sterling has helped us with numerous home purchases and sales. Her patience and understanding along with her willingness to give her time and attentiveness were extremely important and valued. Her knowledge of the area and waterfront was instrumental. I would recommend her to anyone looking to sell or buy.

It just so happens that Susan was friends with the listing agent of a home which we found on Zillow. Unfortunately, we did not get that home, but Susan was able to find us our dream home. Susan's knowledge of the shore area and being on the water, has been a tremendous wealth of knowledge to my husband and I. This is our first home on the water and Susan assisted every step of the way, not only with the sale but giving us insight. She is incredibly astute with small details which a buyer doesn't always think of. She made the entire process easy and enjoyable, from signing documents to taking care of our walk through. Not only do we have a real estate agent, we have a friend ~ With our appreciation, Frank and Renee

Wonderful person, works hard and always busy but still finds the time to answer questions on phone calls or text. She connects with you like your family. She's witty, talented, multi tasker, smart and goes out of her way for you.. , When looking at houses she advises you of the good and bad of what she sees in workmanship making her very honest and trustworthy. She goes out of her way to find the perfect house for you.

My fiance and I recently just purchased our first home, with the help of Susan. Susan was a absolute pleasure, she made the process smooth, kept us highly informed, and was prompt with any homes we wanted to see. This was a huge step in our life and I honestly couldn't have asked for a more trustful and honest agent to work with. Great personality, work ethic, and the biggest thing is you can tell she really does care about her clients. We will continue to use Susan for any real estate transactions in the future! I can not reccomend her enough! Thank you Susan!

So knowledgeable of the area- from recommendations for a handyman to daycare- she knew it all. She also left us the sweetest welcome gift/ package. We loved her so much that I referred her to my father!

Jeanine

Susan listed our property and it sold within hours of the listing. I would highly recommend Susan. She is a hard worker and always answers her phone day and night to make sure her customers are happy.

Cara Cattafi

Susan really took the time to work with us. She even took the time out of her busy schedule to even get to know us! She was very knowledgeable about this process and we truly were able to trust her with everything. We were in a position where we needed a house as soon as possible but also a house that we wanted to fall in love with. She was available at all hours of the day to help us. She made everything so smooth. She is down to earth and makes everyone feel comfortable. She was just as excited for us as my fiancé and I were when we found a house. I am very grateful for Susan for helping us find our first home and a place where we can feel at peace. I will be recommending Susan to anyone who needs a house. She's more than just a realtor, she's a friend who truly cares about others. I will always be grateful for her.
