Testimonials

“Suzie went above and beyond to help us find a new home.  Since we lived an hour away from where we wanted to relocate, we weren’t extremely flexible in when we could come view homes, but she always accommodated our schedules and would preview homes for us so we didn’t have to make unnecessary trips.  Her thoughtful feedback, tireless enthusiasm and broad knowledge of the market were invaluable as we navigated our way through a frustrating spring market!  

“From going to the town hall to ensure proper permitting was in place to keeping in touch with the sellers’ broker to make sure no questions were left unasked, we couldn’t have had a better experience searching for and buying a house.  She even would entertain our toddler during viewings so we could really get a good look at the homes.  Even though we’re sure she had many clients and tasks on her plate, she always made us feel like we were a priority and for that, we thank her!  We would recommend her to anyone and most certainly will be reaching out to her in the future when we are ready to sell our home and buy again!”

-- Lindsay and Chris, October 2016

"Thank you!  Thank you for being great at your job, for being amazing with the kids, and for helping us buy the home we hope to raise our family in.  We appreciate all your hard work over the last several months!”

-- Carmen, Jes, Cameran, and Carter, April 2016

“Suzie Winchester has helped our family in both regular moves and relocations.  We have bought and sold, moved locally, and moved out of state and internationally.  Suzie has coordinated all our real estate matters with great professionalism and efficiency.  She has an in-depth knowledge of the local market.  She takes the time to understand her client’s needs and is a committed hard-working advisor and advocate.  In our most recent move, Suzie helped us sell our Lexington condo.  She developed a plan for making some minor changes to prepare our home for viewing and coordinated a high-energy new-to-market listing event.  The result was six offers within a week, at or above our asking price.  Her advice was absolutely phenomenal.  

“After the offers, Suzie managed all aspects of the pre-closing and closing – including assisting us in finding temporary housing before we were off on our way to a successful relocation.  All in all, we have come to rely on Suzie and we would use her again in a heartbeat and without hesitation have (and would again) recommend her as a seller’s or buyer’s agent.”

-- Peter and Lee Ann K., (London, formerly of Lexington), November 2015

“Caitlin, Oliver and I wanted to thank you so much for your hard work in helping us find a new home.  We appreciated all of your advice and speedy responses to all of our questions and concerns.  Our renovations are well underway and going well.  We are looking forward to showing you the result!”

-- Cait, Oliver and Scott L., March 2014

“Suzie worked with our family for about 1 ½ years in our search for a home in Lexington. Suzie is highly professional, very personable (my two young sons loved Suzie and she was very accommodating to them during our house searches and helped occupy them so my husband and I could look at houses) and a very capable real estate agent. At the beginning of our search, Suzie took the time to show us many different houses even though we were not ready to purchase a home for at least a year.

“Suzie was always accommodating our schedule, always willing to go out of her way to assist when issues arose in the purchase and sale process (even going to our new house when under agreement to take measurements for us) and gave us her true and honest thoughts about whether a house was right for our family. I never had the impression that she just wanted to sell any house to us. She wanted to help us buy the right home for our family. Suzie was also helpful in providing referrals in the new community down to recommending pre-schools for my son. I would highly recommend Suzie Winchester for all of your real estate needs.”

-- Lara M., August 2013

"I'd like to take a moment today to thank you for your focused energy, untiring enthusiasm, and positive spirit in completing our recent sale. Your attention to detail helped every step of the way. More so, you kept things on schedule, and your willingness to oversee the work of all the contract personnel was much appreciated. In spite of Ashok's busy schedule in the medical practice, you carved out the time to communicate with him regularly and in a timely manner. In essence, you 'did what it takes' to get the job done!

"It is that work ethic (and of course, your forever smile) that took this difficult process to successful completion. Of course, there were bumps along the way, but that didn't stop you. We realize this is one of many houses you took on this season, but at no time did we feel your other tasks were more important. You are very skilled in what you do, and we really appreciate that.

"Professionalism. Tenacity. Authenticity. That, in our opinion, defines you and sums up our experience with you."

-- Kumkum D., July 2013

"Our experience listing our home with Suzie Winchester proved to be a very good one. Suzie kept us informed with the comments of brokers and people who had looked at our home. She offered valuable suggestions and went beyond the call of duty when it came to all the details necessary to meet our closing date. The housing market was a difficult one to say the least when we listed our home, but that did not deter Suzie."

-- Al and Carol Z., January 2011
