home was listed for 3 years with prior local realtors. We wish we had listed earlier or from day one with Suzanne. She knows her market is detail oriented and an absolute delight to deal with. Direct in what needs to be accomplished to get the property sold.

Suzanne is extremely knowledgeable about the area and market. She actually pushed us to raise our asking price and we had an offer in 6 days! See was very positive about marketing the home and genuinely excited to see the improvements we made to ready the house for market. I would recommend her to anyone who is ready to buy or sell in the Oriental area.

Moves are difficult. Travelling 2500 miles to a state we have never set foot in was even more challenging. Due to Suzanne Gwaltney's expertise, patience, and knowledge, the move went off without a hitch. From the first initial phone conversation to closing, she was there for us. Her staff also were professional and efficient. Since moving in to our new home, Suzanne continues to help us with recommendations as we need them. We are so happy we found her.

Suzanne's very positive attitude throughout the selling process of our property
was very, very helpful for it took quite a few years to sell our home and it was
discouraging at times. Also, we appreciated the advertising that was done
throughout the selling process for which Suzanne was responsible.

Thank you Suzanne for your encouragement during the time our house was on
the market and for all that you did to bring about the sale of our home. You are
truly a very responsible realtor and have been a delight to work with.

Houses in our area hadn't sold in 5 to 10 years. Our house was sold 36 HOURS after the 'For Sale' sign was posted. Yes - 36 hours!

We had a serious problem since the deal required closing in 5 weeks. We needed to find a rental house FAST .. She was able to get us a very good deal in time. It was no easy task.

Following that she worked very hard to help us locate and negotiate our final purchase of our next house 30 miles from her home office.

Suzanne was very knowledgeable in this location of my home. She is very flexible and knows lots of people in this area when you need advise.

i liked Suzanne and I would use her again.

I liked the broad spectrum that my house was advertised in, I have no negative remarks, everything was positive.

Everyone was polite and treated you very kindly on the phone.

Suzanne Gwaltney was outstanding in listening very carefully to my needs, and they weren't that simple or fully developed when we first spoke. She was extremely helpful in providing excellent information regarding the pros and cons of living within town limits or just outside. She backed up the information by showing me excellent examples of both types of properties, which was critical in the process of finally choosing to buy within town limits. Her local knowledge of the properties involved was more than impressive and she even had qualitative comments on the contractors and craftsmen involved in the construction of most of them.

My situation in selling my home in Delaware got a little complicated resulting in my closing in Delaware being delayed. This obviously affected the purchase in Oriental but Suzanne made a tricky situation seamless and trouble free by negotiating an occupation before settlement deal with the sellers. I thought my situation was going to be a real hassle but Suzanne just arranged everything with a reassuring " don't worry - it happens -you're taken care of".

The word, "knowledgeable" doesn't begin to describe Suzanne's knowledge of the market and applying it to your needs.

One of Suzanne's new associates, Chris Bensabat, accompanied us on the last tour of four or five properties and his construction experience and knowledge were extremely valuable in choosing the property eventually purchased. We had critical discussions on materials, techniques and developing a budget for completing needed improvements on the property which I bought. This information was extremely valuable in coming up with the purchase offer amount. On top of all of that, he has all the great professional and personal qualities you would expect from Sail Loft Realty.

There doesn't seem to be a "wrinkle" that Suzanne can't iron out with grace, charm and professionalism.

Suzanne Gwaltney did an exceptional job for us. We made several trips to the area from out of state and Suzanne was always gracious with our many questions throughout the process of researching the area, looking at homes, providing us information on insurance and other contacts, guiding through the purchasing and closing process. I would highly recommend Suzanne to anyone buying or selling and would utilize her services myself if needed in the future. Suzanne is knowledgeable, professional, kind and personable.

Suzanne was highly recommended on other 3rd party websites. I can now confirm all of the positive feedback I received before engaging Suzanne!

Could not have asked for a better, more professional agent!
