Suzanne’s Concierge Page"Suzanne Ashimine recently handled the home sale of my friend, an elderly woman who had recently moved into a skilled nursing facility. The sale of the property was expertly handled, and it sold quickly for a good price before it was listed. I was impressed with the way Suzanne patiently explained all of the details to my friend at every stage of the process. Suzanne is a gem, and made what could have been a difficult experience into an good one. I can recommend her to anyone with real estate needs, and particularly to those dealing with an elderly or disabled friend or relative." - Michelle F.
"Suzanne was so amazing throughout our 2+ year search for our perfect new home! She was very patient, thorough, and extremely knowledgeable about the Sonoma County housing market. She was able to negotiate an under-asking purchase price on our new home and got us over-asking purchase price (with multiple offers in 1 week) on our current home. All of her recommendations - lender, contractor, packing/moving services - were great and the whole process was seamless. We couldn't be happier and highly recommend calling Suzanne today!" - Jen P.
"Suzanne made selling our home as easy and painless as it can be. It was truly a pleasure to work with her. From our first meeting, she was extremely well-prepared with market research and proposals to maximize our home's appeal. She met our family where we were at in making the decision to sell our home, and provided expert advice. Because we had already moved out of the area, Suzanne personally managed painters, cleaners, and stagers, making the process seamless and stress free. Moving and selling a home can be stressful events, but Suzanne was always there to reassure us and to make sure we were comfortable in every step of the process. Following her advice, we received multiple offers within the first 5 days of being on the market, and Suzanne guided us through that process as well, and we closed quickly thereafter. We truly could not have done this without her. Suzanne is amazing and we highly recommend her." - Stephen S.
"I excitedly recommend Suzanne for your real estate needs. She was with me every step of the way as I bought and sold my home. Suzanne is a great communicator, assertive negotiator and has sold over 100 homes. Her recommendations are on point and her experience will lead you to the best deal possible. Her warm demeanor and organized approach made working with her a pleasure." - Meg B.
"Suzanne Ashimine is truly an exceptional REALTOR® who goes far beyond the typical buying and selling experience. From the moment we started working together, it was clear that she was committed to not just helping me purchase a home, but to supporting my long-term financial goals.
"Suzanne is the best negotiator and realtor that I have ever worked with. She helped me buy my home. The experience was seamless and fun. Suzanne’s experience and expertise are very apparent. She knows how to get the best deal for her clients while maintaining excellent communication. Suzanne is a lovely person and working with her was a pleasure." - Megan A.
"We introduce our realtor to our friends as “Saint Suzanne”. We could not have had a more exceptional real estate agent. From the very first day and the very first property she showed us, she demonstrated an extraordinary blend of professionalism, expertise, kindness, patience, flexibility, and unwavering integrity. Her dedication, willingness to go above and beyond, and meticulous follow-up are rare qualities in the customer service industry today—let alone finding all of them embodied in one individual. Suzanne’s ability to balance the different priorities my wife and I had for our ideal home was truly remarkable. She skillfully navigated our sometimes conflicting needs and found the perfect solution that satisfied us both. In an unexpected twist, after viewing multiple properties together, we ultimately chose the very first home Suzanne showed us—a testament to her keen understanding of our vision. We highly recommend choosing Suzanne Ashimine as your REALTOR®! BTW, the reason we affectionately call her “Saint Suzanne” is because she performed what felt like a series of miracles to help us secure our home and make our dream a reality!" - Anthony D.
"I had the pleasure of working with Suzanne as my agent on the purchase of my first house. I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience having her as a guide and partner in this process. Some highlights include that I always felt informed but never pressured, I was consistently made aware proactively of what to expect at all stages of the process and what to be aware of, and felt very confident in her experience in helping me to size risk and weigh tradeoffs. Suzanne went above and beyond what I would expect in terms of her availability to me, responsiveness and steps taken throughout the process to make this a seamless experience for me. Lastly, her demeanor is one that just made it such a pleasure to spend time with her. Would highly recommend to any interested buyers looking for a thoughtful and skilled agent." - Liz S.
"Suzanne was the new agent brought in to sell the house next door that was for sale a long time. She guided some minor rehab on the house and it sold quickly. I knew when it was time for me to sell who to call. She provided expertise on updates and has craftsmen available to help with projects if necessary. We were able to sell our house before it was even listed. I highly recommend Suzanne." - Bill K.
"We decided to sell our house in Sonoma as part of a relocation out of state and found Suzanne to help us with the process. But when I say "process", I mean start to finish from inspections to repairs and renovation management to staging to listing and pricing strategy. Suzanne took care of it all! We put our faith in her experience and expertise in all aspects of a real estate transaction and were rewarded with a selling experience that exceeded our expectations. Through her guidance, we committed to getting the house ready for sale through informed choices of how best to do that and get the highest return for the projects we took on prior to the sale. Her experience was priceless in this aspect and her management of the projects allowed us to focus on our own move preparations. The resulting sale again exceeded our expectations, which had been set high, and allowed us to complete the transaction quickly and with an absolute minimum amount of stress. Suzanne is simply the best realtor we have ever worked with and we could not recommend her more highly!" - Anders N.

"Suzanne guided me through the buying process every step of the way. She made a very intimidating and stressful process enjoyable, and she helped me understand each phase as we went. She paid attention to what I wanted and needed and helped me stay focused on my priorities. Suzanne was patient with my questions, and I am very happy with the home that she helped me find! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a home in the Napa and Sonoma areas!" - Casey B.

"Suzanne was very knowledgeable about the current market conditions in Santa Rosa and our area of town. She provided advice on my continual remodeling of the house, and what was needed. She was proactive in having us get full-on home and bug inspections before putting the house on the market, which would thereby help inform decisions on what remodeling and fixing needed to be performed. She worked hard at helping us get things arranged for showings and open houses. Suzanne then priced the house at a very competitive point on the market. We were in escrow in just over a week." - Matthew P.
"Being a first-time home buyer is a lot like being on a rollercoaster of emotions; everything from stress and nervousness to joy and excitement. Suzanne was right there on that roller coaster with us every step of the way! She was not only extremely knowledgeable, but she had a calmness about her that made us feel not only well-supported but less stressed as well. Suzanne is on her game at all times! She's super quick and responsive, making this process as smooth as possible. We are so grateful to have worked with Suzanne to purchase our first home and she will definitely be our go-to with any real estate needs in the future!" - Ashton B.
"Suzanne is a marvelous agent! She is warm, efficient, professional, and knows the Sonoma Valley market back to front. Her recommendations about what to do (and not to do) to ready the house for sale were spot on. Both parties had a few unusual requests, and Suzanne navigated these with diplomacy and agility." - Amy M.
"I don't normally write reviews, in fact, I think this is my first. However Suzanne Ashimine's professional and committed approach to finding me a place to call home warrants one. She tirelessly spent hours researching and taking me around to different properties in a fairly large territory. Beyond the scope of most, Suzanne had the ability to know me and my needs. She was sensible and went to bat for me when she needed to. Suzanne made herself accessible almost all the time and if she was not available, her business partner and sister Erin George was. Suzanne is trustworthy and thorough, which is a critical asset. I felt knowledgeable in that she emphasized the details of inspection reports and helped connect me with reliable and quality services. I cannot say enough about Suzanne Ashimine's competence and professionalism. If you have any doubts, do not! Suzanne's choice was well made." - Heather D.
