“Sue Simpson has been a trusted, proven professional that my wife and I have had the opportunity to work with on three occassions over the past 22 years. I would call no other agent to assist us with the preparation and listing of an unusual size home for the area: one with a unique floor plan and a desirable lot. We very much needed an experienced realtor with precise knowledge of area market trends and home values for this transaction; Sue Simpson was fantastic. Thank you - Scott & Emily Easton PS - It's really hot in Florida.”

Surfers chase clean breaks in Atlantic Beach, anglers cast from piers at sunset in Emerald Isle, and kayakers glide through the Rachel Carson Reserve, where wild horses graze the marsh.
