    Shannon Harrington

    Susan was wonderful to work with. She came up with multiple strategies since the market seemed to be turning at the time we were trying to sell my home. She was always available, even from vacation in Norway!! She's great to work with!

    Deborah Johnson

    Susan Hintz I’d a great realtor and we couldn’t have found someone more caring, supportive, and responsive to our needs and questions. She is trustworthy and we would highly recommend her if they are looking for a realtor who gets the job done in a professional, thorough manner. We found our home in Midlothian within two days. What we liked most about the process is that we had total confidence in her and Kelly. Thanks!!
