"We’ve worked with Susan Avant twice now - once when buying our current home and again for our new one and she’s just incredible! We looked at so many houses and she was always up for it, offering great advice and insight along the way. She knows houses and the home buying process inside and out and made the whole process feel like a breeze. If we ever move again (though I think she helped us find our forever home!), we’d absolutely work with her again. Can’t recommend her enough!"

"I recently worked with Susan to purchase a new home, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! From start to finish, she was an absolute pleasure to work with.
Susan took the time to understand my needs and preferences, and she worked tirelessly to find the perfect home for me. Her knowledge of the local real estate market was impressive, and she was always available to answer my questions and address any concerns I had.
Throughout the entire process, Susan was professional, patient, and kind. Her excellent communication skills made the entire process stress-free and enjoyable. She kept me informed every step of the way, and her guidance during the entire process was superb.
I cannot thank her enough for her hard work and dedication. She is an exceptional realtor, and I would highly recommend her services to anyone in need of a realtor.

"Susan Avant has helped me buy and sell my last two homes. She worked patiently with me on finding the right home, recommended the right inspectors, and negotiated the price with the sellers' realtor. And when it was time to move on, she worked hard to publicize the sale among professional realtors and the public, held open houses, and negotiated the sale. Susan is warm, thoroughly professional, and unflappable. She was my rock when I temporarily lost heart, and stepped in personally to fix any problems that occurred. I couldn't have handled the huge and important task of buying and selling a home without her, and I highly recommend her to any and all others undertaking this stressful task."

"Working with Monica was fantastic. She and the team were extremely responsive throughout the whirlwind home-buying adventure. She was super laid back about which homes we wanted to visit and things we liked during the tours, but always had or could get any information about the properties we asked for. As first time buyers, we were pleased to have a realtor as kind as Monica!"
