What people are saying about Suzette:

"In my day job, I work with a lot of real estate agents. I probably worked with over 1000 agents in the Los Angeles area. I've seen every type of agent in this industry: beginners, local experts, masters of negotiation, and those who just want to make a quick buck out of you. HOWEVER, when it came to picking an agent that will help me and my family buy a house I decided to go with Suzette because I knew this is going to be the right choice. I knew that she will deliver, I knew that she will pull out every trick in a real estate trick book to help us find the best house.. and I was right. Our process of finding a new house was very quick but really, really, REALLY tough. On the first day of going to open houses with Suzette, we found a dream home and we put the offer on the same day. We had to compete with a lot of cash offers and investors. Guess what, as I said earlier, I was right, Suzette killed it and got us the house we wanted. Covid, competition, problems with loans, whatever is the obstacle, Suzette is the type of person that is willing to find a solution to your problem and find a workaround. A true problem solver, a great real estate agent, and a fantastic person with an amazing sense of humor."
