“Susan's integrity, professionalism, and reputation are second to none. She aggressively marketed and sold our El Matador house with professional photos, sophisticated presentations, and effective open houses. She has a keen eye for details, is meticulous, and a strong negotiator. Her track record of experience as both a buyer and seller’s agent helped us find the right buyer and made our sale go smoothly. Without a doubt she is the hardest working realtor in Malibu and closes the deal timely with extraordinary skill and attention to detail.”

"I had met Susan through friends and heard of her through her high profile in the community. Susan carries a pedigreed education and business background and has a clear understanding of the Malibu real estate market. I was also impressed by the exposure generated through her direct mail campaigns, website marketing, and continued presence in local newspapers."
W. Feldhorn
"We have purchased two homes from Susan over the last few years. She works with you beyond the purchasing stage. We had some building to do to finish off our home, and she stayed with us through the permit stage, and even went down and helped us expedite our permits. She was extremely helpful. She works day and night for her clients, doesn't stop when the sale is done, and knows the ins and outs of the business. She is the most experienced realtor we have ever met."
S. and D. Weiss

That's her objective — to make it work."
