We chose her not only on the basis of her fine reputation, but from our personal experience encountering her some years earlier as a listing agent for a property we were considering then as buyers. We realized we would want Sue to be the one to sell our house for us at some point in the future because of her gracious personality, expertise, and professionalism. Sure enough, she has just done a great job, from the marketing to the contracting to the closing! It all went better than we hoped for. I would certainly recommend her as a buyer's agent too - Sue was a pleasure to work with and we could rely on her exceptional experience in the Kona market to guide us at every turn. She gave us confidence throughout, and we were very pleased with her success.

She spent time getting to know us and what we wanted and always reminded us that her goal was that we find the right house for us.

We probably won't be buying another house soon but our first call for any future real estate needs will be Sue Brown and her family!
