Susan Brooks

When my wife and I opted to go with Susan Brooks as our realtor, I figured “easy money” for her. After all, we owned a lovely home with a large yard in a desirable neighborhood where houses consistently sell quickly with multiple bidders at above the initial asking price. And this was the case with our home — one open-house weekend; eight bids, all of them above the (unreasonably low) initial asking price; no inspection or other contingency clauses. Like shooting fish in a barrel.

But what I learned during the six-week period between staging and settlement is just how complex and demanding the job of realtor is. And Susan, a true professional who has been in the business for 20+ years, knows all the steps and potential pitfalls. She did an excellent job of helping us sell our home and was always available (either by phone or in person) to answer questions and give advice. Whether you have been through the process many times or are a first-time buyer or seller, I would highly recommend her.

Susan was recommended to us from a colleague, and we have been so grateful for the referral from the get-go. Moving to Maryland from out of state, we were unfamiliar with the real estate, neighborhoods, and best practices for acquiring a home in that area. Susan listened to our needs, wants, and nice to haves, making recommendations that fit our criteria and our family. When we found the perfect home, Susan coached us every step of the way on our best interest in making a competitive offer that would appeal in a demanding sellers market. She went above and beyond with virtual tours, providing details about the home and the surrounding neighborhood that only someone with “boots on the ground” could provide. Even when we were uncertain whether our offer would be accepted, Susan was readily available to network and negotiate on our behalf. We ended up with an amazing sales contract, and couldn’t be happier with the outcome of this transaction. We recommend Susan Brooks for any and all of your real estate needs. She is truly a miracle worker!

I am extremely pleased with the service provided by Susan Brooks. She was always available to answer our questions and provide guidance throughout the buying process, advised about any concerns and contingencies. Her prompt communication with the seller and our lender made the buying process seamless and smooth. As first-time homebuyers we received an incredibly valuable support and guidance from her. I highly recommend Susan as highly rated real estate professional and a lovely person who stands behind her clients to anyone looking to buy a home!

We are SO THANKFUL that we had Susan as our agent! She helped us through every step of our home sale, from formulating a strategy to the final steps of closing. Her advice on the strategy and timing of our home sale was invaluable. In fact, Susan’s advice on when to go on the market probably helped us get hundreds of thousands of dollars more for our house, than if we had gone with our original timeline!

Susan went above and beyond in making sure all the details were perfect for the house, from the house tours right up to the close. She has a great eye for what the buyers are looking for and how to showcase the house to its best advantage.

She was on top of all of the paperwork and contracts, and ushered us through the process every step of the way. We had a complicated relocation, and she not only kept us on track - she also proactively reached out to coordinate with other parties if it seemed like something was missing. She followed up on issues, so we didn’t have to do endless “phone tag” but could just make decisions with all of the information we needed.

Susan has a great 360 view of EVERYTHING that needs to be done for a sale. She also has an extensive network of resources that helped us along the way - painters, stagers, cleaners, handymen, etc. Basically either Susan knows what to do, or exactly who to bring in for the job. We 100% recommended her, and wish we knew someone like her in our new place!

I never realized how huge a difference having a good realtor makes when hunting for a house, especially as a first-time buyer, until Susan helped us find ours.

We called her two weeks ago, had financing through a lender she connected us with pre-approved by the end of last week, and had a contract on a house that she negotiated for below the list price in a seller’s market in a county we never thought we’d be able to afford a home in early this week. We just finished getting an inspection done with a very experienced inspector at a good rate.

She’s given expert advice wherever our knowledge has been lacking and has worked late into the night making sure our house search is wrapped up neatly, smoothly, and with a favorable outcome for us. She’s handled every step of the process with aplomb; we haven’t had to put any thought whatsoever into details of where to get whatever service we might need.

We are still in a state of disbelief at how fast and easy this has been from start to finish.

Over the years I have done about 7 transactions with Susan since meeting her at one of her open houses a long time ago. Susan has always provided great advice and suggestions and “made things happen” even when the going got tough. I would highly recommend you give her a call.

Susan helped me purchase my last home. She was very helpful and responsive every time I called and got me out to visit the homes I was interested in seeing right away. She made the process easy and fun! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to sell or purchase their home.

Susan Brooks is an expert, knowledgeable and experienced Realtor.
This is our third real estate transaction with her. She sold our last house in one day for the asking price, which was not a low price.
She does her homework and has many connections and friendships that also contribute to her success.
When you work with Susan, she feels more like a friend--even though she is a valuable business partner.
I highly recommend her to anyone needing an agent that goes "above and beyond, " and helps you make the best real estate decisions.
