‘I enjoy passing along what I have learned to my clients so they can make informed decisions about buying and selling property,’ Sue comments. ‘Instead of a sales pitch, I provide clients with information I gain from daily experience in the field, which they can add to their own research about the market online I want my clients to feel confident about their decisions and to understand the process of buying and selling.В Ultimately, this helps us avoid surprises along the way so transactions proceed as smoothly as possible.’
