From the start, Suzy exemplified professionalism. Attentive to our wants for what we were looking for in a second home, she did her best to find locations that fit what we were looking for. We happened to find a location without her assistance, asked for her thoughts and opinions on the location, which she happily did, and offered to represent us and be our point person in Ocean Isle Beach. Suzy went out of her way to photograph the unit for us (we live in NJ), was the liaison between us and the developer, handled meeting with the home inspector, performed the initial walkthrough, made notes of repairs that needed to be made, and was always in contact with us with updates and just checking in. Knowing that Suzy was there to represent us put my mind as ease. A true professional!
Outstanding Realtor with exceptional area knowledge
I met Suzanne 4 years ago when I was searching for a home in OIB. I made an offer on a home sight unseen before we met and at that time she was not only professional but went above and beyond to meet me when I arrived in OIB. She took the time to learn about my needs and wants and suggested an amazing home that met every one of my needs in the Retreat. It was my dream house and she listened and help me find the right one. As it turned out I wound up renting the home with the hopes that I would return. Every need I had while owner she provided the best resources from property mangers that were outstanding to mtg brokers, handymen, insurance companies and the list continues. My life took a different turn with grandchildren on the way and so I decided to sell my home and would not have thought of anyone else to handle that transaction. She monitored and took care of my home to ensure it was in great condition to get sold at the best price. She did it. I cannot speak more highly of Suzanne, her knowledge , her professionalism, and how much she delivered on my needs. A true gem in the midst of many.
Suzy is so knowledgeable and professional regarding homes in the Ocean Isle/Sunset Beach area. Before we saw houses she took the time to understand our wants and needs for a house and location. She then toured several areas with us before showing us houses. Once we found our perfect home she worked with us every step of the way. She guided us through the purchase process anticipating “to do” lists before we even thought about what needed to be done! She was with us every step of the way. Even after purchasing the house she is our go to person for any and every question from landscapers to furniture shopping, even restaurant suggestions. The buying process was made completely stress free. If you want to have fun and feel confident buying a home call Suzy!!!!
I had the absolute pleasure of working with Suzanne Polino. I’ve had numerous house purchases and sales at this point in my life. Typically, you know someone in your local area, and the experience is good enough. When moving to a new area, how do you really know who to pick or if they are good at what they do? As my past included a real estate agent girlfriend who was at the top of the industry, I knew the extra things the great ones do to ensure a seamless experience for the client. I tried to apply what I knew about the mindset that all superior agents possess as I researched name after name. I got to Suzy’s profile and immediately had a hunch that she was the rock star I was looking for.
Suzy is on top of every detail and misses nothing. She is thinking about things that quite possibly never even entered your mind. From helping us with the best opening offer to how she worded repair requests to the current owner, we were able to save significant money. Much of what she found in our extensive inspection report, I doubt I would have even noticed. Suzanne read every word of it.
There is never a moment when Suzanne is not taking notes. Often, we would look at a property, and Suzanne would be off writing things down, taking pictures, looking for issues, and just being your everything in the home-buying process. Once an offer is accepted, Suzanne stays on top of the entire timeline and everything that needs to get done. While our heads were spinning, Suzy was organizing, scheduling, and communicating with every entity in the closing process to ensure there were no miscommunications and we got to the closing table without issue. Suzanne works tirelessly for her clients, loves what she does, and it shows.
There are a lot of good real estate agents. There are very few great ones. If you are moving from elsewhere, and throwing darts just like I was, Suzanne Polino is the Bull’s Eye!
Suzy was extremely helpful, detail oriented, caring, patient and professional.
Suzy is very knowledgeable of the market and the area. She goes out of her way to be helpful and is never high pressured in her approach. She does a great job communicating and kept us well informed throughout the process. Suzy is very professional, kind and personable. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking to purchase in this market.
Suzanne is not only an amazing agent but also an awesome lady. Her attention to details is amazing even to someone like me who notices everything. She goes above and beyond to make sure your home is in A+ condition prior to your closing date down to the most miniscule detail. We highly recommend enlisting Suzanne if you are considering a new build or an existing dwelling. SHE'S AWESOME!!!
Suzy is a fantastic agent. She is great to work with and I would highly recommend her. Her experience, professionalism and communication made all the difference in selling our home in a difficult market after we relocated. She was always positive, willing to help, and a pleasure to work with. If your looking for someone you can trust and rely on Suzy is it.
We thoroughly enjoyed working with Suzanne. She was extremely knowledgeable of the area, super responsive, and very friendly. We were referred to her by a local gentleman, and we couldn't be happier we called her. Thank you Suzanne for everything!
I was happy to have the opportunity to work with Suzy for the second time. We recently sold our home in Ocean Isle Beach during what many would call a seller’s market. Thanks to Suzy’s strong marketing, communication, and responsiveness, our home sold in just 28 days — a huge relief since we had already purchased a new one. She handled every detail of the negotiation process with professionalism and care, making the entire experience smooth and stress-free. It was a pleasure working with her again, and I would highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home.
