We just bought our first house and we couldn’t be happier! We had been thinking of buying a home for quite a while and just didn’t know how to go about the process. So we attended the seminar in December and learned much about the housing market in the Bay Area. Thanks to the guidance and experience that Susan provided, we now own our first home. The timing could not have been more perfect. We trusted in her, and we are so glad we did.

Susan was the perfect agent for us as first time homebuyers. We began this process nervous, naïve, and yearning for information to help us make the best decision for our biggest investment. Susan spent the time talking to us about what was most important in purchasing a home and how to prioritize all the aspects to consider in buying a home. She opened our eyes to considerations we never could think of on our own! As we began to look at homes, she would further educate us about what was acceptable and what was not. She spent the time talking us through disclosures and how to understand the paperwork involved. Most importantly, Susan has high standards with home purchasing that was passed on to us and she never forced a quick buy. Furthermore, she knew how to advise us financially so that we would be in the top group of offers to win. We are happy to say that during one of the peak periods of 2005. We bought a home we love and beat out thirty-one other offers! Thanks Susan!

I recently purchased a town home in Redwood Shores with the able assistance of my realtor, Susan Goodrich. My experience with Susan was first rate.

I am the reluctant, doubting type who does not like to be pushed or railroaded when it comes to making a big purchase. I like to comparison shop and do my homework before I commit to even start looking at a property, and I had visited many open houses on my own before I met Susan. ( I was assessing agents as well as property during my open house looky-loo search!) No one seemed honest or valid until I met Susan.

A straight shooter, who listened to my vision of the house and price I could afford, Susan made the process smooth and efficient. She located appropriate properties in the right style, location and price range for me. When the right one turned up she advised me clearly and without bias as to bidding and successful bidding! I got the home I wanted and there was no stress and no pressure. I felt like we were a team, along with an excellent lender she recommended.

Overall, a positive and successful experience. Susan Goodrich is professional, fair and has a great personality and sense of humor to go on top of it! It is my pleasure to recommend her.

We want to thank you for helping us find the perfect house. Your extensive knowledge, strong negotiation skills, and strict attention to our needs ensured our success in the unique market conditions of the Bay Area. Even in a competitive market place, with tight inventory, you managed to find us a home that meets and exceeds our expectations.

As busy professionals, we truly appreciate the hard work and diligence you put into previewing homes to ensure they will meet our taste and needs before taking us on tours. You proved your professionalism and earned our respect by taking the time to educate us on our options and by discouraging us from making a hasty decision.

You are a phenomenal real estate agent who we would recommend to anyone interested in purchasing a house in the Bay Area. We look forward to maintaining our friendship with you and we welcome the chance to serve as a reference anytime.

Susan Goodrich is a young and energetic real estate agent who did an excellent job representing us for the sale of our home. She began working with us several months prior to our sale date coaching us on which areas to repair and upgrade to show the home better.

She kept us on a strict schedule to make sure that we hit all important ad dates for better exposure. Susan also hooked us up with a wonderful designer who staged our home with a spectacular touch. We even won tour of the week for the one week that we were on the market. Susan also priced the sale just right to attract a high level of traffic during those first critical days. We sold well above asking price within one week thanks to Susan's efforts and persistence with all interested parties.

We will definitely utilize Susan's services again when we decide to purchase another home later this year. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an agent.
     Sincerely,

"It was a pleasure to work with Susan Goodrich when I was looking to buy my house. Susan took a great deal of time and care to make sure I was informed and educated throughout the process. Never did I feel 'out of the loop' or rushed. After looking at over 10 properties, I'm confident that she helped me find the best place for my needs in terms of location, amenities and most of all, price. After looking at several properties, I became more confident with each visit that my agent was at the top of her game and one of the best in the industry."

"Susan really put her positive energy to work for us! We enjoyed working with her - she skillfully assessed our home needs and our wish list and then kept our searches down to those homes which were the closest likely match. Also, in this fast-paced real estate market, Susan's cool head and steady approach made the difference when we started to panic. Among other things, she reminded us not to compromise too much in what for us would have been the wrong direction. For us first-time home buyers, this sage advice went a long way in restoring our confidence and helping us to stay focused. We love our new home and highly recommend Susan as a real estate agent."
