Karen Feldman proved to be a consummate professional, combining financial
expertise with marketing capabilities and a keen eye for helping us accurately
price, position, and present our home in the best light possible. Prior to the
sale or even inking the agreement, she was honest and frank about things we
could do to maximize the appearance and appeal of our home. We had several other
Realtors we know who were very interested in having our listing, and the advice
she provided and her involved yet "low pressure" approach was one thing that
secured the listing. The photographer she recommended produced outstanding
images, and she was there to guide and assist him. She also was on top of the
follow-through in a somewhat unusual double contingency contract, and advised us
on what turned out to be an unusual amount of direct communication with the
prospective buyer on numerous issues, which provided great peace of mind for us.
On a personal level, Karen was a pleasure to work with -- professional and
personable.
Buyer
We would highly recommend Karen to anyone looking for a home in the northern
Chicago suburbs. She has a no pressure approach, values quality over quantity
relations, take feedback well, and is extremely attentive. We never had to wait
long for a response from her. We were seeking a very particular layout that
wasn't available on the market at the time we started our search. After we
exhausted all listings, Karen went digging for leads and got us in on a showing
of a perfect home within its first days on the market. Getting in early was
critical to locking in the deal.Karen was also an excellent advisor throughout
the deal making process, especially for first time home buyers. She had strong
market awareness, was knowledgeable about all phases, and kept an eye out for
common pitfalls. She also surrounds herself with other excellent professionals
(e.g. lawyer, lender, etc). We were very impressed by the caliber of our entire
buying team. We couldn't have done it without you guys!
Buyer
Karen did a great job helping us find a new home as part of a relocation. We
valued her opinion, and she really honed in on what we wanted in a home. She
identified aspects of certain houses that were appealing (or not) that we
wouldn't necessarily have identified. In addition, we have three children who
traveled with us on one of the trips and she included them in the process,
telling them about the schools, extra-curricular activities, and the town. This
went a long way in helping the kids get comfortable with the. In addition, even
after we put a contract on a house to build, Karen was very involved through the
build process, sending us pictures, etc... In addition to the great job she did,
she is also just fantastic to work with. Overall, we were extremely pleased with
Karen, and would highly recommend her.

the negotiations. She was a big reason why our search was easy and enjoyable. So

short amount of time.

Karen is the realtor you want to work with! She is bright, professional, and
honest. She spent countless hours with us. We had a lot of expectations and
requirements and she worked tirelessly to meet them. Karen was in constant
communication with us for the 4-month process. She took time to get to know us,
what we wanted, and what we were looking for. She is detail oriented and kept us
focused. When we were discouraged she was calm and encouraging. She has a great
sense of humor which is key in this process. Best of all, she is down to Earth,
clear and caring. We are in the home we are meant to be in and she represented
us beautifully all the way through closing.
Buyer
We were so lucky to work with Susan to buy our new home. She is a top notch
agent and both my husband and I appreciated all the time she spent with us
during this process and for being available to address our concerns and answer
our questions. She is extremely professional and willing to brave even the most
challenging winter weather for her clients! She has a ton of knowledge with
regards to both the city and north shore and a great relationship with other
realtors in the market. While our plan is to stay put for a long time, if
something changes Susan is the first person I would call!

I can honestly say Susan was the best broker I have ever worked with. She knew
what I was looking for and found it. She was also very helpful with updating me

me. I would recommend Susan Duffey to any buyer or seller out there. She will
get you what you want!!

her enough.

for all my real estate needs. Thank you, Susan and @properties!

long term.
