Susan is the best! Very knowledgeable about the market, the process, and what to look for in a property. And customer-focused! Even though it took a while to find my new home, with the market, my specific requirements and some hurdles, she kept emphasizing that finding me the right place was her priority. She's also a wonderful person and a joy to work with.

Susan was fantastic to work with. We bought our home with her in 2003, which was a new construction home in process while we were out of state. She provided numerous updates and photos, handled minor issues, and helped us arrange the best stages to come during the building process. We recently sold our house to move out of state and immediately thought to contact Susan. As our agent she was instrumental in helping us prepare to list our home to maximize its list price. Again, she was efficient and responsive. A pleasure to work with and we would highly recommend her to anyone in search of a real estate agent.

Susan was recommended to me from a friend, and boy was I happy that I chose her to guide me through the process of finding and purchasing my very first home! I came to the game knowing next to nothing and Susan was extremely patient, helpful, and knowledgeable. Her professionalism and overall demeanor really gave a boost to my confidence with going through all the necessary steps. I felt incredibly supported and I plan to go to Susan with any future home purchasing/selling needs!

Susan Hertz was fabulous to work with when selling my husband’s house earlier this year. She was super responsive and on top of things - basically always available via text or phone for advice (even about small stuff like shower curtain choice the night before photos!!) and connected us with a very affordable stager who made the place look great. We felt like her advice for listing time frame, price, and what to do to get the house ready were all right on - we felt like she recommended the right changes without pushing anything extra. Susan gave us realistic expectations given the market and limited available comparisons. We chose a more conservative listing price, but ended up with lots of offers well over that amount, we think due to this strategy! In addition to all this, she’s a super likable person. She gives you advice and info based on her extensive experience but is never pushy and the choice is ultimately up to you. I’m so glad we worked with Susan and would definitely work with her again!

We are so grateful for the experience we had working with Susan Hertz for the purchase of our first home. Her years of experience in real estate, knowledge, professionalism, responsiveness, and love for what she does helped us so much through this new and stressful process. We truly felt her desire to help us find the perfect place for our family. We can't say enough about all the hard work she put in to helping us find a home and then after going under contract she was active in helping us get everything done that we needed in order to ensure a successful closing. We highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home!

Susan provided exceptional services to me throughout the buying process. She has great knowledge of the Triangle area neighborhoods; exceptional negotiation skills and represented me with the highest level of integrity to all sellers. She connected me with reputable and skilled home service providers in the area. I would never have found a home that is perfect for me without her!

Susan was FANTASTIC! She even negotiated an extra $5,000 above what I was willing to accept. She provided excellent professionals for electrical, plumbing, cleaning and moving. At every turn Susan went above and beyond to handle my long distance sale. She even convinced the city to cover the cost of fixing a water meter after I had agreed to pay $700 to a plumber. She is a TRUE PROFESSIONAL in every meaning of the word!

Susan is insanely good at what she does. She has so much experience in the field that she knows the housing market of the triangle (and beyond) for the last 30+ years. On top of that she is a super sweet person that is delightful to work with. We were able to get the first house we put an offer on in a hot market because of her. When it comes to buying houses she doesn't mess around and fights for her buyers in every regard. She even called our mortgage consultant and advocated for us to owe less at closing. She knew the financial rules better than he did. If you want a knowledgable, reliable, and wonderful broker, Susan is the one.

Susan is an outstanding real estate agent. She helped us for over a year in a crazy real estate market. I'm someone who likes to take my time with big decisions, which did not go well with the pace of the real estate market. Susan was very patient and got to know my family's needs. She learned my preferences and she NEVER pressured me to put an offer on a house, despite showing me MANY. She was always available when we needed to see a house quickly. And, once we were under contract, she was excellent at helping us through the due diligence, the negotiations, and the house inspections. I HIGHLY recommend Susan as an agent.

We recently used Susan as our buyer's realtor, and were so happy to have her. She was an invaluable resource for us as we navigated the home buyer's market for the first time. Susan provided us with so much insight, and she was also great at negotiating with the seller's realtor.

Everything went very smoothly and I couldn't be more pleased with Susan as a realtor. She probably showed me about 30-40 residences and never seemed to lose her patience or tire easily. She also has a wealth of knowledge and resources at her fingertips. Susan walked me through the process of buying and selling again (as I didn't remember much from 12 years prior) and answered all my questions thoroughly. She definitely goes above and beyond and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell property. Although I don't plan to move again, know that if I do I will never use another broker as long as Susan is available.

Susan was referred to me by a friend when I needed to sell by house in Durham NC, after moving to New Orleans. I can't say enough great things about the experience. I had previously spoken to another broker, who had me convinced that I needed to invest money in upgrading certain parts of the house before putting it on the market -- a difficult thing to do from afar. in contrast, Susan was immediately positive about the house and its attributes, and suggested putting the house on the market immediately - as is- to take advantage of a limited market. So I took her advice, and had 6 offers in one day and ended up selling the house for $30K over the listing price. After the negative experience I had with the first broker, working with Susan was a breeze. I was able to sell the house without coming back to Durham at all!! She communicated well and was an absolutely DREAM to work with. I can't say enough good things about her!!!!

I can't say enough about my experience with Susan. She is an exceptional realtor with decades of experience. She is a wise counselor who wants to see you in the house you desire. She is a skilled negotiator and loyal advocate who conducts herself ethically and in the best of her clients. Susan is a wonderful realtor and a lovely person. You won't regret working with her!

Susan was my realtor when my family relocated to Durham. She knows the market exceptionally well. It was a real joy to work with her. She was an effective advocate in negotiations and a wise counselor as we explored the many different options in the Durham area. On top of her professional expertise, Susan is a wonderful human being. You will enjoy working with her.

This is the 3rd time I've worked with Susan Hertz to buy and/or sell a house. She is the consummate professional, knows the market, is able to provide guidance on everything related to real estate. She's a pleasure to work with and I have and will continue to recommend her to friends who seek the 'best of the best'. Thank you, Susan!!

It went wonderfully. We had done a few things to spruce up the outside of the house, but nothing to fix up the inside. Due to the hot market, Susan suggested we try to sell it as was inside, asking somewhat less than we would have if all the work had been done. We had three offers within 30 hours of the house being put on the market, two of which were more than our asking price.

Susan is the consummate professional. She is knowledgeable in regard to all aspects of real estate marketing and sales and was very responsive to my inquiries, immediately handing any issues that arose. I trusted her judgement in every way and would highly recommend her. I have both bought and sold a house through her over the years and found her to not only be a great agent but a wonderful person!

Susan Hertz served as my real estate agent for the second time. She gave me great advice as I began preparing to list my house and was with me every step of the way. Susan offered her knowledge and expertise, while listening to me and my needs as the seller. She advocated for my best interests throughout the process. My home sold very quickly and all went smoothly. I highly recommend Susan Hertz!

Having bought six houses and sold three houses, I've seen both what Susan does and how other agents work and I just feel so lucky that I know Susan. She is a great overall agent and an especially great buyer's agent. She saved us from a real mess when she noticed a pipe cover in the back yard and wondered if there might be a water line. It turned out to be a water main and the house wouldn't have been insured: the people who put an offer were taken to court to get their earnest money. Susan pays attention to EVERYTHING and she gets to know what you like and what you're looking for and she works really hard to make sure you're happy. I enjoy looking at houses with her, talking through details with her, and knowing she has my back. I just love her.

I could not have asked for a more competent, knowledgeable realtor. I had worked with Susan before, and had the same experience with her thoroughness and extremely helpful ways. She has the expertise and experience that makes the process so much less stressful than it could be. I would highly recommend her to any potential home buyer.

Susan was the best! I had specific desires for my new home which really narrowed the available options, but she found the perfect property for my new forever retirement home! Not only that, but Susan went the extra mile to detangle unusual legal issues prior to closing - contacting an absent neighbor about a fence encroachment on the property and resolving a title issue that had to be researched back over 20 years to close. Susan also has great contacts for surveys and other work related to closing and homeownership! Her ethics are beyond reproach and you can count on her for advice and to do what is best for her clients.

Susan is an amazing real estate agent. We were unfamiliar with the area, and she took a great deal of time to show us various neighborhoods and areas of town. When we finally settled on a house, she was extremely thorough and was most definitely an advocate for us during the negotiation process. We would absolutely use Susan again for our real estate needs in the future!

Susan was recommended to us by employer to assist with finding a home when relocating from FL to NC.  In all our interactions she was personable, professional, and very helpful.  Easy to talk to while driving around the triangle (even when we had our 3 kids), and knew some good places to grab lunch!  Made sure we were weighing all factors (especially resale consideration)  in our purchase decision - which was very helpful as we didn't know the area all that well.  Finally, she went "above and beyond" in helping to schedule estimates for fencing during the home inspection so we could time fence installation with our occupation.
