Honors
Consistently outstanding in her field, Sue has been the recipient of many awards in recognition of her exemplary service to her clients. More important to this professional, however, are the honors bestowed on her by her clients in the form of referrals. She knows that a referral to a friend or family member means that she has truly helped that client. That, to Sue, is more valuable than any real estate reward available.
Professional Designations
Sue believes that one of the keys to success, both for herself and her clients, is a continually updated education. She takes many classes and seminars to increase her effectiveness and has earned two of the real estate industry's most prestigious professional designations: GRI (Graduate Realtor Institute) and ABR (Accredited Buyers Representative). Nationally recognized, these designations are earned through a rigorous course of study as well as demonstrated professional experience. Sue was one of the first four Realtors in the greater Harrisburg area to become e-PRO Certified. They are Sue's assurance to you that she provides quality service.
