Client Testimonials
★★★★★
"Susan helped me purchase my first home. She walked me through the process ensuring I understood each step and it was clear she was in my corner to help find the perfect home to fit my needs!

- Tiffany Talamantez

★★★★★
“Susan did an incredible job balancing the sale of our current home and the purchase of our new one. Moving to south Austin was unfamiliar to us, and Susan helped us explore various areas with such patience until it felt more familiar. Susan is a wonderful realtor that we have continued to recommend to many. She is detailed, explains clearly, devoted to her clients, and handles it all with a high standard of professionalism. She is very relatable and values the process of buying/selling from her client's perspective. Susan Patterson made us feel incredibly cared for throughout the entire real estate process. Her knowledge of the market and insights reassured us along the way, as we began exploring a new area of Austin to find our next home as a family. We are very thankful for Susan and all her hard work!"
- John Dow

★★★★★
“Susan has been a friend from my church for many years. Not only is she beautiful, but she's also highly intelligent and successful so, I knew she would be the best realtor to sell my house. She did an excellent job in listing my home, including holding many "Open House" events despite my attitude about it. She was quick to explain all questions and concerns I had so I would definitely recommend her to anyone interested in selling or buying a home."
- Viola

★★★★★
"Susan Patterson is the real estate agent you need to navigate the Austin metro area real estate market. She made recommendations for multiple local lenders, inspectors, title companies, etc which was helpful to me as a first-time home buyer. She made me feel like I was her only client, was incredibly patient with me, and moved at my pace. A professional with high ethical standards, Susan's years of experience were critical in writing a reasonable and competitive offer. I'm sold on Susan Patterson!"
- Sarah Allenson

★★★★★
"Susan was absolutely wonderful, she was always available to answer questions and intervene on our behalf. She also picked up my wife at the Austin airport, and they went to dinner after walking through our new house. Susan is a true asset to your organization."
- John Honaker

★★★★★
"My agent was Susan Patterson on a recent home purchase. Susan is very detail-oriented, attentive to your needs, and goes out of her way to compare & contrast different options. She is also - in general - just a fun person to be around. I am a pretty pesky client and had her show me a lot of properties (50+) before I settled on one. Susan responded to my texts, email at crazy hours - I always felt taken care of during this challenging home buying atmosphere. Thank you. I will be back next time I am in the housing market either as a seller and as a buyer. This is the second time I used Susan as my agent - first time as a seller and this time as a buyer."
- Bertold Kolics

★★★★★
"Susan was the agent who helped me to locate my first downtown Austin property in 2014. When I recently began looking for a larger place, there was no question that Susan would assist me with that search. In a competitive market, she was totally dedicated to seeing that my recent offer (and purchase) was handled expeditiously and smartly. As a result, I was able to view the property, make an offer, and have the offer accepted in less than a week. I can not imagine this being possible without Susan at the helm of my real estate quest! She is just the best!"
- Glenda Dayton

★★★★★
"Susan is definitely someone you want to have in your corner during your building or buying experience. From the beginning to the close of our build she gave great advice, helped guide us through the process and helped us set realistic expectations in a construction market fraught with supply chain issues. We cannot say enough good things about her; she is dedicated, extremely knowledgeable, experienced and an excellent real estate strategist. She helped us to stay on top of things at every stage, used her resource network VERY effectively and communicated well with us and the builder. Even those inevitable “surprises” didn’t knock us for a loop because she helped mitigate them. In speaking with others building in our area who did NOT have an agent, we realize her expert help has been invaluable in making our experience a very smooth one. Anyone who chooses her as their real estate agent will be getting one of the best in the business!!"
- Andrea Schneider

★★★★★
"It was an absolute pleasure to work with Susan Patterson. She went above and beyond to provide us with the best experience possible in this challenging time for buyers. She provided a ton of knowledge and resources throughout the process. She accompanied us on many community visits, always asked the right questions to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the properties. She is very strong at building a good rapport with the seller's agents, which helped us get all the information needed. On top of that, she was very patient throughout the entire process and always available to answer our questions. We highly recommend her."
- Raine ★★★★★
"Susan provided exemplary, personalized service for our most recent transaction, our eighth transaction with her over the past nine years. We always reach out to Susan for our real estate needs because of her ability to understand our objectives and her dedication to keeping up with market data to provide us with the information we need for data-driven decisions. Our most recent transaction was perhaps the most challenging we have ever had given local market conditions. Susan helped provide the data we needed to feel comfortable that we were being competitive but not overpaying for the home we were seeking. In addition to Susan, we had the opportunity to work with Erin Foster on our most recent transaction, and she was a pleasure to work with as well. She kept us informed of the closing process and provided vital research and assistance on several issues, such as identifying utilities and accelerating our close date. RA has a great team, and we look forward to future transactions together."
- Al White & Judith Dietz ★★★★★
"We really loved working with Susan. Both Samantha and I are inherently curious people and want to understand as much as we can before deciding things. Because of that, Susan was the perfect match for us. She was happy to explain the ins and outs of all aspects of real estate transactions in historic market conditions and was full of recommendations for further resources for us to really sink our teeth into. So, not only was she able to guide us to a winning offer fairly quickly, we both felt that we actually understood all of the moving pieces by the end of the process--a wonderful feeling to have going into such a large, complicated deal. She was also very flexible and understanding with our tricky schedule (we have a now-11-month old and were staying out in the Hill Country for much of the search, limiting our days and times to afternoons and weekends). All in all, we'd highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home here and now!"
- Matthew & Samantha Kennedy ★★★★★
"As a first-time homebuyer, Susan was thoughtful when leading me through the process. She clearly communicated what I could expect from the Austin market. Susan is a teacher at heart and spent time teaching me about the process of purchasing a home, the ins and outs of the inspection process, and even gave me tips on maintaining my new home. She is incredibly knowledgeable and went above and beyond when answering my questions. When I began looking at homes, Susan was focused on what was important to me and was on the lookout for items I might miss, never having owned a home before. When it was time to make an offer, she was such an encouragement. She wrote a clean contract where she walked me through each section and explained (and re-explained) each portion. I'm so grateful for Susan's guidance and helping me find my home, and I could not be happier! Thank you, Susan!"
- Vanessa Holda ★★★★★
"I have been working with Susan for over a decade on various real estate transactions, and she is a consummate professional. She is smart, thorough, calm under pressure, and fun to be around. Compass is lucky to have her."
- Andrew Damon ★★★★★
"Where to begin is the challenge. Susan is the ideal real estate agent. She is extremely adept at managing both the personal aspects of the client relationship, as well as the data analytics necessary to ensure the best outcome for the client. With regard to the personal element, Susan was more than effective in calming emotions that arose during the process. Her ability to keep us on course, particularly given the uncertainties created by COVID-19, is admirable and very much appreciated. Because we are both data, driven individuals, Susan's exceptional data analytical skills were key in ensuring both our full understanding of the landscape and our comfort in her recommendations. My only regret is that she cannot practice in Colorado, where we would definitely choose her to represent us as buyers!"
- Charlene Hamlet ★★★★★
"We absolutely loved working with Susan. She worked so quickly and efficiently to help us find our dream home. We are so grateful for all of her hard work. She helped us navigate our first home buying experience with her expertise and patience. We were kept in the loop the whole way and always believed Susan was working in our best interest. We are thankful for Susan Patterson and the Compass team."
- Angela Dove ★★★★★
"Susie is an incredible real estate agent! She's extremely knowledgeable, patient, and hardworking. She made the process of buying a house truly a breeze. Highly recommended!"
- Michael Bagwell ★★★★★
"Susan was such a good listener and worked very hard to find us what we wanted. She went above and beyond to give us great advice when negotiating deals and was quick and detail oriented when it mattered. I really don't think we would be in the house we bought if it wasn't for her great advice and attention to detail!"
- Bess and Michael Cattau ★★★★★

Moving to south Austin was unfamiliar to us, and Susan helped us explore various areas with such patience until it felt more familiar.

We are very thankful for Susan and all her hard work!"
- Rachel Dow ★★★★★
"Susan was very attentive to my specific needs. We had a good conversation just prior to the listing and out of that conversation decided to require a leaseback on the listing. A great decision in retrospect since we had a quick offer with a fast closing"
- Peter Marciano ★★★★★
"Susan was extremely helpful during the home buying process. We were buying our first home and she was excellent at educating us about the entire process. She was patient and available whenever we had questions. She was understanding when we weren't interested after viewing a house and never made us feel pressured to put in an offer. She genuinely was an advocate for us and was trying to get us the home we wanted. She communicated very well with us about the "behind the scenes stuff too.\ We have already recommended her to family members of ours! We will defiantly contact her again for our next move! "
- Sam and Casey Bryan ★★★★★
"Susan is an excellent realtor who has so much experience in the Austin market! She is very knowledgeable and efficient. She puts her clients first and works hard to make sure all of your needs are met. Had a great experience!"
- Lauren ★★★★★
"Susan Patterson was a wonderful agent for our \first home\" buying experience. We appreciate how knowledgeable and patient she was with us as we navigated through the whole process. We will definitely recommend Susan to anyone looking to buy a home in Austin."
- Rob and Myra ★★★★★
"Susan is our hero."
- Jon Fernandez ★★★★★
"We loved working with Susan Patterson to find our new house in Buda, TX! She was extremely knowledgeable about what to look for when walking through a potential home, beyond what my husband and I would ever consider! She pointed out fixtures and appliances on properties that had been updated, or maybe needed to be. She was very informed about the costs associated with possible improvements or additions to properties. She was also wonderful about keeping our requirements in mind while we searched, which helped move the process along faster. Susan was very prepared when we were ready to make a decision and helped us connect with brokers, inspectors, home warranty companies, the local HOA, and other entities to take care of the purchase of the home and tackle \to do list\" following. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Susan Patterson! And I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy their future dream home. "
- Christina Shoptaw ★★★★★
"We had an excellent experience with Susan Patterson. This was my husband and my first home purchase, so we were unsure of the process and all the ins and outs. Susan consistently showed patience and grace in our interactions and helped us find our dream home. we couldn't be any happier! And to top it all off, it was fun. I enjoyed all of my interactions with Susan. She is thoughtful, warm, easy to be around, smart, knowledgeable about the market and home buying process, and a pleasure to be around. We have already recommended her to everyone we know who's in the market to buy or sell a home."
- Lindsey Stuart ★★★★★
"Susan was very professional and handled the entire transaction very well. Susan was always present on the phone no matter what time of day she picked up and took care of all of my questions. I would highly recommend Susan for future real estate business with my circle of friends and co-workers."
- Paul Brown ★★★★★
"Susan Patterson could not have been more professional or understanding of our needs than she was. Susan was on top of the situation from day one and never relinquished that position and that is why I would highly recommend Susan Patterson to anyone for their real estate needs."
- Sam Sullivan ★★★★★
"Susan Patterson did an excellent job of finding and showing houses that fulfilled our needs. She was always prompt in our meetings, and extremely courteous. I would certainly recommend her services to our friends and would call her first if I needed to find another house for my use."
- Patricia Talbot ★★★★★
"I've known Susan Patterson professionally for 15 years+. I respect her tremendously. I knew she'd tackle the sale of my home much like I'd seen her tackle and succeed at projects and goals in the corporate arena. Susan understood I was a motivated seller and she planned/worked accordingly - working to manage my expectations AND maximize how much we could get for my home. Because of her work, we landed multiple offers, which was a fantastic position (as a seller) to be in. I know no transaction is a piece of cake. In my case, while we were in a great position with multiple offers - the high bidder proved to be picky (which Susan also identified early on - and still suggested we pursue the high bid because she was confident in the transaction.) Susan was a pro navigating - the negotiating, guiding where to push back and where to give in to minimize the amount of time of the sale. She is business savvy, she knows the market, she is realistic, she is an advocate for her clients, she is professional in everything she does. I recommend Susan to another buyer/seller in a heartbeat!"
- Tamara Rezler ★★★★★
"Susan is amazing! Susan's local expertise coupled with her wonderful personality enabled us to make a great decision on our new home (and have some fun along the way). Susan was extremely responsive and communicative throughout the process and also patient and supportive as we waited for the right home to hit the market. We recommend Susan to anyone buying or selling a home. Thank you, Susan, for helping us find the best house for us."
- Phil and Kelley ★★★★★
"Susan knows Austin well and guided us to the perfect neighborhood. She is well versed with all the issues that come up in a transaction and looks out for YOUR interests. I look forward to working with her again! Top qualities: Great Results, Personable, Expert"
- Andrew Damon ★★★★★
"Susan provided detailed information in order to stage the property, set the price, and anticipate any unforeseen issues which could arise. Selling was \painless\" because of her clear communications with everyone-seller, buyer's agent, title company, and even vendors who were preparing the property. Her efforts were reflected in the multiple offers we received the first day on the market in a very depressed market. Mostly, you will find that Susan is really detailed in her approach to selling your property and a great personality is the icing on the cake. Top qualities: Great Results, Personable, Expert "
- Cynthia Embertson ★★★★★
"Susan helped my husband and I purchase a great new house in the Arboretum area of Austin. When we did the initial interview with her, we hired her on the spot because she really impressed us with her detailed presentation, professionalism, and high-tech approach. We were not disappointed. It was a pleasure to go through the buying process with a Realtor who is knowledgeable and on top of her game. Her system allowed us to digitally wade through all the initial paperwork, saving trees and time - a bonus in my book. We highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a Realtor! Top qualities: Great Results, Personable, High Integrity"
- Ella Segura ★★★★★
"I had worked with Susan in a previous life in technology, so I was expecting that same degree of professionalism and attention to detail in her new profession. I was not disappointed. Susan guided us expertly through the process of getting our home ready to sell. She priced our home aggressively for the neighborhood, played hard for us in the negotiation process, and helped us to sell our home for our asking price in three days! We could not be happier. I highly recommend Susan as your real estate agent. Top qualities: Great Results, Personable, Expert"
- Tim Corder ★★★★★
"Susan did a fantastic job working with my wife and me to evaluate, select and acquire a vacation home on Lake Travis (near Austin). We ran into some tricky issues and she handled them all with great professionalism and care. I would highly recommend her for anyone considering investing in a first or second home in and around the Austin area. Top qualities: Great Results, Personable, High Integrity"
