Suzanne van der Wilden is the ultimate real estate professional. She was such a huge help to us when we sold our family home of nearly 60 years. Her expertise, knowledge, patience and sensitivity saw us through the journey. Suzanne was our steadfast advocate every step of the way and it was our pleasure to work with her. 2021
Suzanne came highly recommended by both a friend in the community and a relative who is a real estate professional in another state. Both thought Suzanne would be the best fit for us. We couldn't be happier with our decision to hire Suzanne as our real estate agent. It was important to me and my husband to work with someone who was knowledgeable and savvy, but not too aggressive. We also wanted someone who could appreciate our 80-year-old home that needed some tender loving care. We knew at our first meeting that Suzanne would be perfect. She loved our home and noticed charming details about it that other realtors had not. She listened intently but was not hesitant to give us tips on improvements. We also had a not-too-simple situation, with me having moved out of state months before the house went on the market. Suzanne managed everything with much grace and patience, helping my husband prepare the house, which we had lived in for 20+ years, for the market. When we couldn't list it at what we thought would be the desired time (due to our schedules), she assured us that it would work out. She helped us find the perfect buyers for our home, and we are grateful for her help and expertise. 2021
We had an exceptional experience with Suzanne. After spending a lifetime in the community her excellent expertise in the area combined with her personalized touch made the transition so much easier for us. She covered every aspect of the transaction and guided us flawlessly. It was a pleasure to work with someone who cares for their clients every step of the way.....a true find in the harried world we live in! 2021
Suzanne was also our agent when we bought 189 nearly four years ago, and she was such an amazing agent that there was NO QUESTION that we would work with her again.
While it is a different process on the Sell Side, she was able to advise us on all aspects leading up to the sale and were were able to appropriately price and sell (above asking!) in a quite crazy Covid market.
We will not only miss Suzanne on the business side, but also for her friendship and also how much she gives back and truly loves Croton! We were blessed to have worked with with as well as become fellow Crotonites. We miss you Suzanne!
Suzanne was the best. I would recommend her and work with her again. She was patient and listened to our needs. We hope to remain friends with her in our new community 2021
My wife and I cannot appreciate Suzanne's wise counsel more. She is beyond-competent, thoughtful, responsive, and led the process of selling our home with expertise. We will not hesitate in strongly recommending Suzanne for buying/selling properties, particularly in the River Towns area. 2021
If buying or selling is your plan, then call Suzanne! Suzanne van der Wilden is not just an amazing realtor but an amazing person. Save yourself time reading the rest of this review, just hire her! We were first time homebuyers when we contacted Suzanne, already facing uncertainties about exactly what we wanted and how the process would work, further compounded by the craziness of Covid-19. By the time our search was over, despite some unexpected obstacles, Suzanne had found us our dream home. There are many things that must be balanced just right by a real estate agent: independent opinion and respect for your priorities, practicality and whimsicality, efficiency and patience, attention to detail and seeing the big picture. Suzanne finds the perfect balance in all of these. Beyond these attributes, she brings a keen knowledge of the local markets across a broad area and an incredibly detail-oriented understanding of everything it takes to buy and sell a home. She also provided us advice and access to a considerable network of experts. Suzanne is incredibly hardworking, setting up showings and making an out-of-state search feasible and efficient. Her meticulous care helped us avoid the wrong home, whether it be through calls to town offices that let us know of impending tax hikes, or keen eyes during showings pointing out potential problems. All of her skills are accompanied by her incredibly caring and supportive personality -- coupled with her determination and knowledge, she helped us find the needle in the haystack. We love Suzanne! 2021
Suzanne was an incredible support and font of knowledge in our recent home search. We relied on her heavily because we lived out of town, knew nothing about the area, and were stressed due to the coronavirus. Every step of the home purchasing process, Suzanne was a calming, stabilizing force, who offered us sage advice, helping us to secure the house we wanted at a price we could afford, in a competitive market. We've never worked with anyone more responsive or trustworthy. It's clear to us that real estate is more than a job to Suzanne; her primary goal was always our satisfaction, and we were never made to feel like just another in a string of clients. No matter what the question or time of day, Suzanne responded immediately with information, options, recommendations and reassurance. A testament to how much we came to enjoy and care about her is that, now that we live in Croton, we consider Suzanne a dear friend and neighbor. 2020
Suzanne has been a godsend as an agent for our family. At times of uncertainty like today when it is difficult to assess the market, Suzanne guided us through the process with ease. She gave us great recommendations to prepare our house for the market even bringing her own decoration, brought a great photographer to take awesome pictures, helped us price the house right for the market, advertised our house to the right clientele and got us multiple offers in only few days after the house was on the market. Once we decided on an offer among many with her help, she was a great communicator between the buyers side and us making sure the house closed without any issues. Suzanne was there guiding us from start to finish. She is a true professional and has been a great friend. She is the best real estate agent ever. 2020
Suzanne helped us through what ended up being a complex house purchase, and when things became especially difficult, her empathy as well as her professionalism were both extremely helpful to us! Suzanne also did an amazing job selling our house. She truly has an "eye" for what is needed to make a house shine for a showing. She priced it perfectly too. I would not hesitate to recommend working with her. Many, many thanks Suzanne!! 2019
Suzanne was incredibly professional, proactive and responsive. We would highly recommend her to anyone! The Croton area is new to us, so her local knowledge was invaluable and once we found the house we love, she skillfully guided us through the buying process. Choosing a house can be a daunting process. Choosing the right realtor makes a significant difference; we are delighted to have chosen Suzanne. 2015
I found Suzanne to be a superb partner throughout the sales process -- getting the house ready to be listed, guiding me in setting the right price and quickly finding the perfect buyers. Because it was an estate sale, the process included a lot of emotional components. I can't imagine anyone surpassing Suzanne in helping me on that front as well. I recommend her without reservation, and have already sent a friend to her for help in finding a new home in the Croton/Ossining area. 2015
