"In December of 2013, we had to sell our home at Phoenix as my company was relocating us to Florida. We chose Susan Harding to market our home, and it was the right choice. Her enthusiasm for all that the Buckhead neighborhood has to offer resulted in ours being sold in less than one week. Susan and her team also did an incredible job in marketing our home. The attention to even the smallest of details resulted in outstanding pictures and collateral, which helped sell our home in much less time than expected. Two years later, when my company relocated us to Atlanta, our first decision was to get Susan to help us find our next home!" -Andy Brand

"Working with Susan made the home buying process so enjoyable! She was always very honest and went out of her way to work around my busy schedule. As this was my first home buying experience, she always made sure to walk me through the steps thoroughly and made sure I understood what I was doing. Knowing her experience in the Atlanta market gave me great relief in making this big decision. She also has great contacts with inspections, repairs, and other realtors. You will not go wrong if you work with her. " -Stephanie Kenaston

★★★★★
"My wife and I listed our house in 2018 with a very nice agent who had a good reputation. Unfortunately, after a year with minimal traffic, in September of 2019 we thought it best to change agents. Susan also had a good reputation so we were cautiously optimistic . She immediately understood the complexity of our home/property and in short order there was an increase in traffic. In October we had an offer, with another waiting in the wings. We closed on our home on November 1, 2019. Susan proved to be a great listener, tireless worker, paid close attention to the minute details of our property and without any reservation we would recommend her." -S.D.

"Susan helped me with my first home purchase. I got her by chance and am soooo happy I did. She exceeded my expectations and went above and beyond to make the process easy/enjoyable while she did all the work. As well her experience and honesty were very much appreciated throughout the process. She will not let you waste time or settle on something you don't LOVE.

Thank you Susan, and look forward to working with you on my next home purchase!" -Sommer Sampson

"Susan helped us find and buy our home when my husband and I moved to Atlanta about 5 years ago. Since then, we have recommended her to all of our friends looking to buy in the area. They have nothing but positive things to say about their experience as well. She is very knowledgeable of the area and helps to lay out all the pros and cons of each house you see so that you can make a truly informed decision. She is also very responsive to and helpful with any questions you have before, during, and after the purchase process. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy in the Atlanta area!" -Nicole Cox

"I have worked with Susan for almost 10 years now. I also send all of my friends and family to her. Not only does she excel in her knowledge of the market but she is the FULL package. When buying/looking/selling a home you want Susan as your agent. She has made every process easy and enjoyable (as buying a home should be). Not only that but if you dont have certain connections (contractors, inspectors, loan officers, homeowner insurance, etc) she can set you up with her contacts as well. Hands down, you will not be disappointed!!" -Sommer Sampson
