Sue Crawford

Objective 

My personal objective is to facilitate every transaction to enable the principals to complete their goal of moving from point A to point B.  I look at every situation and try to assist my client with his or her needs, whether it involves staging their property, finding professionals to complete repairs or finding them a new home.  When acting as the listing agent, I work tirelessly to maximize the homes exposure to its most appropriate target audience.

Qualifications 

My background includes teaching, studying art history & interior design.  Each of these areas has equipped me with skills necessary to facilitate my clients' needs rather than just sell homes.  Teaching was a great training ground for patience and developing communication skills.  Being able to successfully communicate is a vital part of successful negotiating.  My studies in interior design gave me an eye for what a home is or could be.  Raising a family of five is equal to earning a masters degree in organizational, interpersonal and negotiation skills.
