    We loved working with Suzanne. She was recommended by a mutual friend who had used her as their real estate agent, and it could not have worked out better. We are new to Sonoma, and Suzanne's knowledge of the intricacies of Sonoma's real estate market was so helpful. She took the time to understand what we were looking for and identified properties that matched our criteria. She then effortlessly guided us through the process of purchasing our house. She and her team make the details easy. She thoughtfully explains each of the inspections and identifies what is important for followup. She helps arrange any followup inspections that are needed. Her knowledge in this area was particularly helpful as we are not from the area. She is an asset in the negotiating process, her advice was crucial when we found ourselves in a multiple bid situation, other agents like working with her, and we can safely say that we would not have our home if Suzanne had not been our agent. Suzanne is the real estate agent whose advice you can trust completely. We would definitely choose her again!

    Suzanne Ashimine is truly an exceptional realtor who goes far beyond the typical buying and selling experience. From the moment we started working together, it was clear that she was committed to not just helping me purchase a home, but to supporting my long-term financial goals. During my home buying process, Suzanne demonstrated incredible skill in negotiation, securing a fantastic price that exceeded my expectations. But her support didn't stop at the closing date. She has continued to be an invaluable resource, consistently offering advice and connecting me with top-quality vendors whenever I need assistance. What sets Suzanne apart is her comprehensive approach to real estate. When I decided to rent out my house, she was there to guide me through the process with her expert knowledge. Her ongoing support has been instrumental in helping me build financial security and navigate the complexities of homeownership. I have complete trust in Suzanne's expertise and professionalism. Her dedication, knowledge, and genuine care make her more than just a realtor - she's a trusted advisor who has made a significant positive impact on my life. I cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone looking to buy, sell, or manage real estate.

    Suzanne has been one of the best agents I have worked with in the industry. From the start, she has been easy to communicate with as she supports and inspires any one who seeks guidance. She is so kind and knowledgeable- she clearly knows the Sonoma market inside and out. It made the whole process of working with her feel stress-free and well-handled. What I really appreciated was how collaborative and respectful she was throughout the experience to all parties. She kept things moving, stayed on top of the details, and made sure everyone was in the loop--without ever adding stress to the mix. It felt like we were truly working as a team, which isn't always the case in this business. Her commitment to her clients was obvious, but she also made space for a really positive working relationship between us as agents. Suzanne is someone I'd happily work with again--professional, thoughtful, and genuinely a pleasure to partner with. Any transaction would be lucky to have her involved.

    Working with Suzanne Ashimine was a truly remarkable experience. As a mortgage professional, I've collaborated with many realtors, but Suzanne stands out as an elite real estate agent who consistently delivers exceptional results. Suzanne proved herself to be a master negotiator, securing outstanding terms for her buyers. In our most recent transaction, her expert negotiation skills resulted in an appraisal that came in $20,000 over the purchase price - an impressive achievement that immediately built substantial equity for her clients. What sets Suzanne apart is her comprehensive market knowledge and strategic approach. Her clients consistently express their deep satisfaction with her service, often mentioning how she exceeded their expectations throughout the home buying process. The transaction was seamless and professional with Suzanne maintaining clear communication, providing timely documentation, and anticipating potential challenges before they arose. This proactive approach created a stress-free experience for everyone involved.

    Suzanne served as our buyer's agent for the home we purchased about 5 years ago. We had so much of a positive experience with her then that we contacted her recently to serve to represent us in the sale of our our home a couple months and to serve as our buyer's agent for the home that we purchased a month ago. My wife and I find Suzanne to be very responsive to our needs and requests. She is very knowledgeable and savvy about marketing, staging and pricing a home to sell quickly but at the best price conceivable. The home that we sold a couple months ago sold within 4 days at a better than expected price, while other similar homes languished on the market. Her professionalism, responsiveness, low-key personality and warmth make Suzanne very enjoyable to work with. We couldn't ask for a better realtor.
