Susan Chong, Real Estate Agent

Testimonials:Susan is the best realtor we could possibly have chosen (and we interviewed a bunch!). Susan sold our house for more than we imagined was possible and with less stress than we expected. She was strategic about prepping our house for the market; her suggested improvements and staging had excellent ROI. She was also a pleasure to work with and demonstrated impeccable integrity. I’d hire her again in a second if we ever move back to the Bay! Brianna & TJ
We had a great experience working with Susan, she's a true professional! Susan was great to work with. When we first met with her to express our intent to sell, she not only brought data and research to help inform our decision, but also provided her opinions on things to consider addressing. The house was in good shape, but we believe that her insight helped us to have an expedient and successful sale. Throughout the entire process, she was respectful, punctual, and responsive in every way. We really appreciated her help and professionalism. Thank you Susan! Paul and Jessica
We are grateful to Susan Chong for another quick and successful real estate sale! We have bought and sold real estate with Susan before and we have relied on Susan to represent in transactions for over 10 years. Most recently, we called upon Susan to help us sell our Bay Area home as we prepared for a move out of state. We already purchased our new home and hoped for a quick sale in the Bay Area. Once again, Susan came through. As soon we signed the listing agreement, Susan had a professional photographer lined up, including overhead photos with a drone, a professional inspection was booked, and the brokers open tour date was finalized. Susan professionally marketed the property through a direct mail campaign and scheduled weekend open house dates. Thanks to Susan, the house sold quickly and over the asking price. We could not have done this so quickly and so efficiently without Susan Chong! Gary & Billy (Sellers)
Susan helped us buy two houses and sell one over last few years. She understands the market and really caters to your needs. I hope we never have to move again but if we do I would not have anyone but Susan guide us again. Dr Alec L. (Buyer & Seller)
