Read what a few of Susan's Customers and Clients have said to her and about her exceptional service over the years.......

When we were looking for a place to live in retirement back in 1998, we told all the real estate agents what we wanted:  Five or more acres, lots of privacy and no other houses nearby.  It was astonishing how most of them would show us subdivision homes on one acre lots;  they just did not seem to get it.  When we found Susan, she shoed us several places that met our criteria and we bought one of them.

Over the next ten years, we kept in touch with Susan, now and then would ask her advice about real estate and other things.

One of the first things you will notice about Susan is that she answers emails and does it right away.  That is especially im+

6pressive when one considers that she gets a large number of inquires by email every day from her, very productive, website.

This May when a change in my health made it necessary for us to move closer to my family and leave the mountains, we asked Susan if she would list our property.  It never occurred to us to list with any other agent.  Near the end of May, she put the property on her website.  Within days we had an offer.  That offer fell through because of financial issues with the buyer.  In mid-June it went back on the market again and within a few days Susan found a buyer.  We had to speed up our moving so that we could be out in time for the new owner to take possession the first week in July.

Susan arranged everything, so all we had to do was go to closing and sign the papers.  We got precisely the asking price.

When we find anyone who wants to buy property in the mountains of North Georgia or the nearby states, we tell them to get in touch with Susan at Appalachian Realty.  That's all they need to know!

My wife and I began looking for a cabin in the Blue Ridge/ Blairsville area during November, 2007.  We had been doing some research through the MLS listings on the internet since early fall.  In December, we were referred to Susan by a friend who lives in the Blue Ridge area.  From the first time we talked, we knew she was the right realtor.   Susan was easy to work with, and knew so much about the Blue Ridge/Blairsville area.  We talked about what we wanted in a cabin, and also the general area.  She gave us a lot of assistance about what to look for, and how to weed out the “problem properties”.  She sent us listing information based on our criteria.  We would also send her listings that we would see on the internet.  We worked together to decide on a list of properties to see on our stays in Blue Ridge.  On our second trip working with her, we found just the right property.

Susan’s assistance did not stop there.  Because of a holiday weekend, we only had about 12 days to complete our inspections, and get our mortgage approval.  Again, Susan came through, and got us connected with a local home inspector and a local bank for the mortgage.  We completed the necessary tasks with plenty of time to spare.  

We would highly recommend Susan for real estate needs, whether buying or selling property.  She is thorough, knows the real estate business, knows the region, and more important, she listens to her clients.   D. & A.-Tampa, FL
Thanks for all your work. You know, like I mentioned to you before, I've never purchased land. So I didn't know what to expect. And before beginning the process with you, admittedly I was a bit anxious about how it all worked. So know I appreciate your work and efforts to make it all understandable and easy for me.

Susan was the total package that you look for in a real estate agent,  friendly, detailed, knowledgeable about the area, and determined to satisfy us. 
She made us feel like her only customer.  There wasn't a single call or email that went unanswered, within the same day.  When it came to assisting us all the way through the closing, Susan was right there. 
Even after the deal was done, she continues to be totally responsive.   
I have worked with many real estate agents but few have come close to having Susan's capabilities, and she is a pleasure to work with in every way!

Susan's knowledge of the area is a tremendously helpful. She is willing to walk the land and "kick the tires". Responsive and thorough, covers the bases for me. I am continuing to use her.  T. B. - Georgia
Not only was Susan instrumental in helping me find a property that met my criteria, she made the whole process as easy and painless as possible.  It's always good to find a true professional who listens and honestly cares about her clients and their needs.  J. B. - Georgia
In 2000 we approached Susan to assist us in finding a mountain home.  Susan lined up several properties for us to view.  We spent the entire day looking at seven properties that fit our requirements and price range.  One property stood out and we made an offer the following day.   Susan was right there with us guiding us through every step of offer/counter offer up through the closing.  We find that Susan is very familiar with the area and is up to date on all properties.  She is an expert on property regulations in the Blue Ridge area.  Susan has lived in the area for many years and can help you find reliable and honest persons to assist you with any construction or repair work you may want for your new property.  We have recommended her to several friends with great results and will continue to do so in the future.  T.& J.

You can trust Susan's experience and honesty.  "If you don't want the truth, don't ask her!"
