Why Susan?

My clients have no idea what they're in for when they hire me to help them buy or sell a property! My involvement and dedication to their transaction is a great as if it were my own property. Whether it is a modest home, or an extraordinary home, my client receives the same devotion to the mission of buying or selling that home. Responsive, thorough, careful, and all the resources at my fingertips: that's how I conduct my business. The stories I could tell you!! I believe in gaining new knowledge and skills. That prompted me to earn my brokers license, ABR certification (accredited buyers representative), e-PRO designation (yes, I know a little bit about technology and how it serves our business), and the desire to attend numerous non-credit seminars and to read books and newsletters that expand my skills and knowledge. I'm always accessible (cell phone, email by internet or Blackberry, text messaging, e-fax reception, even old fashioned land lines), and proactively put information in the hands of my clients and customers (regular informational mailings, personal website, personal blog www.movin-with-susan.blogspot.com). The brokerage where I "hang" my license is simply the best in Chicagoland, Baird & Warner. B&W has been around since 1855, survived the Chicago Fire, and leads the Chicago market today in technologies designed to aid our sellers and buyers. B&W does business based on the fundamentals of ethics and community service; check our website to read about the pride that this local family-owned business takes in doing business with the client's interests at heart. This business philosophy DOES make a different in the quality of your real estate transaction. Let me show you how.

Areas of Expertise

I have personally owned many homes over the years: single family, cooperative apartment, cooperative single family home, condominium, and townhome. My own experience, coupled with years of real estate agency, makes my service to clients second-to-none. Real estate is a fulltime job, and operates seven days a week. Day of rest? What's that?

What My Clients Have to Say About Me

"Selling the family home after 40 years is never easy, but the way you educated yourself on the property and neighborhood (way more than any other realtor-candidates), your sales strategy for this "as-is" property, your hand-holding with the rest of the family, and your skillful negotiation and attention to detail made this easier on an 81-year-old, and his daughter-in-law! Many thanks! --Ruth, "A Spare Daughter"
