Helped me buy home
Susan was the best! I could not have asked for a better real estate agent to help me through my transition to Arizona. Susan was very knowledgeable and thought of many things that I had not even considered. At every home she was looking at the details, the construction, and at the comparable homes in the area. I know that I was not her only client, but she certainly made me feel like I was the only one and that my home search was a priority. Susan advocated for me throughout the negotiations, the inspection, and closing. Her kind nature and her thoughtful ways were just the icing on top and I cannot recommend Susan Baze enough. I have owned many homes and Susan Baze was by far the best real estate agent I have ever worked with!
