From the first correspondence I had with Suzanne, her professionalism, knowledge of the area and experience were evident. She was more than accommodating, friendly and helpful. She understood exactly what my family was looking for and was diligent in her persuit for our new home.

I intend to contact Suzanne again for future endeavors.

Because my husband and I lived so far away from the areas we were looking in, and because of the nature of our own professional obligations, we were pressed for time, and frequently needed (or wanted) a great deal of work from Suzanne Gwaltney, and from her firm. Often on very short notice, and at inconvenient times. Because we are also both very detail oriented, and hands on, we also wanted some things outside of the usual parameters of property hunting. This firm always came through.

My husband and I had been looking to purchase property, for eventual relocation to North Once, for over a year before we met Suzanne Gwaltney. We had been looking in several distinct geographical areas, and had to various extents, worked with, I believe, nine or ten Real Estate Agents in various parts of North and South Carolina. We are both attorneys, with in excess of thirty years of professional experience (including the field of Real Estate, albeit not in the Carolinas)

Suzanne Gwaltney is, without question, the finest professional in her field that either of us have worked with.

Both my husband and I are attorneys, both with over thirty years of professional experience. As such, we have dealt with countless other Real Estate firms and individuals in the same line of work as Suzanne Gwaltney - although neither of us had any prior experience in North Carolina. Having spent six months working with Ms. Gwaltney, we are both of the opinion that she is the finest professional in this field that either of us have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. Her firm is equally excellent. And I should also note that neither of us are easy people to deal with, both being very 'type A" people.

Ms. Gwaltney's excellence is not simply her thorough professional knowledge of her market, but also her ability to listen, to discern what her clients want and need (often more clearly than the clients, in our case), her skill at negotiation, but also her unflinching honesty - without ever giving offense. Not only did this profession consistently provide invaluable advice and guidance, she did so - on more than one occasion - in direct opposition to her own economic interests. She is a consumate professional, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Her care, advice and good counsel did not end when both sales were over - she has gone out of her way to assist us in making a home in North Carolina.

Her firm - every member that we met - is equally excellent. This is, truly, and extraordinary team. Lest whoever may read this think me prone to gushing, I should perhaps conclude with the facts that, prior to having worked with Ms. Gwaltney I did NOT have a positive opinion of Real Estate Agents or firms in general. Nor am I easily impressed.And I have not, in thirty years, ever taken the time to write a 'review', so to speak, of any other professional.

Quite simply, if you are consdering a move to this part of the world, you cannot do better than to work with this woman and with her firm.

I give my highest recommendation to Suzanne Gwaltney and Century 21 Sail Loft Realty. The personal and expert service I experienced during the sell of my home was excellent. I will not hesitate to call them in the future for any real estate needs my family may have.

Suzanne is so pleasant to work with. Always positive. Always smiling. It's contagious.

Suzanne has outstanding customer service and knowledge of local companies.

Our transaction with Suzanne went smoothly. We worked together very well. Timing and scheduling were handled extremely well.

I walked into Sailloft Realty and was greeted by Suzanne. She was so helpful from the start. She offered me maps, gave me driving instructions to see homes that fit into my desires and set up a time that she could meet me and my husband to look at homes.

Suzanne knows her community so very well, She advised us on a loan officer, a home inspector, and an attorney all of whom have been most professional and thourough.

Suzanne's office got us located into a rental cottage while our home was in escrow. Everyone worked together to make certain our home purchase and relocation went smoothly.

My husband mentioned to me this morning that Suzanne has become more than a real estate agent, she has become a valued friend in our new town. And all of that in just a month. I will strongly recommend Suzanne to my family and friends.

While looking for a home in the Oriental NC area, we needed to find someone with local knowledge and who could listen to our concerns and provide us with information that was accurate and allowed us to make the correct decision. Suzanne was up to this task, she was very friendly and on point and timely with delivering information. She was a great listener and watched our reactions to each property we looked at which helped us navigate through the different options. Through this process we were able to collect the necessary information to make an informed decision. Towards the end, Suzanne really was a friend more than an agent and someone we could trust.

I would highly recommend Suzanne Gwaltney as their real estate agent to anyone. She did an excellent job in all aspects of getting our house sold. Everyone on the staff at Sail/Loft Realty is very professional. The secretary/office workers are very knowledgeable also and can get you answers, paperwork, and send you headed in the right direction.

Suzanne Gwaltney helped us sell our house in a very challenging time and market. She used all website presences that single family homes are marketed on. We were very pleased with the presentation of our home on these websites. Pricing the home to sell was one of our most difficult tasks in selling the house in a timely manner. Suzanne was very professional and helpful in advising us in pricing our home. She knows the Oriental real estate market very well. In a buyers market such as our home sold in, Suzanne was very understanding and helpful during our selling phase (offer to purchase, due diligence, and settlement). We highly recommend Suzanne Gwaltney and the very efficient and helpful agents and staff of SailLoft Century 21 in Oriental, NC.

Outstanding, professional and went out of her way to accommodate our every request to a smooth closing.

The property concerned was bank owned. We were fully aware how difficult negotiations can prove to be in this instance. Suzanne Gwaltney was there at every turn to help and guide us through the process. This is the second purchase we have made through Suzanne and would not hesitate to recommend her and her team at
century 21 sailloft realty in Oriental regardless of what you ar looking for or where you are coming from

Suzanne is more than an excellant real estate agent. She is a trusted friend who, after helping us buy our home and become part of a new community, is now assisting in arrangements to rebuild and decorate,after the hurricane here, while we are relocated out of state. I have the utmost confidence that she will find a great buyer for it and that the transition will run smoothly and to all parties satisfaction.

Moving from England to America is no easy feat. Suzanne Gwaltney of Sailloft Century 21 Realty in Oriental moved heaven and earth to make our transition the best it could be. Firstly her expertise and knowledge of the area made it a very pleasant experience and took all the stress out of house searching. The upmost important to us was to find an agent who would listen to our needs and requirements and not push us into something just to get the sale. Suzanne listened and then boy oh boy did she deliver. We are now living in the most beautiful location it is more than we hoped for and could never have found this on our own! Her team continue to support after the sale and guide us as we to continue to make this our new home. We would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone and truly believe that without Sailloft Realty we would not be living here. Thank You Suzanne to you and all your team.

Tim and Barbara Miller

Suzanne went above and beyond our expectations! She is very professional and even after the sale we still stay in contact. We truly consider her a family friend. We try to visit her every time we are in Oriental.
