"We were very lucky to find Susanne. Our transaction had a number of tricky points, including very tight deadlines, discovery of potential deal-breakers and managing the buyer/seller relations, and all three challenges were wonderfully managed by Susanne. We discovered the home--back on the market after a failed deal--just 4 days before offer acceptance closed. We white-knuckled it through our old home sale as the finances cleared within a few hours of the
deadline for our offer on the new home--Susanne was the soul of calmness and control, monitoring the final deadline and keeping us informed of risks and mitigating factors so we always felt assured we had the information to make sound decisions. Due to the tight timeline, we were faced with pressing questions about traffic and neighborhood construction, and Susanne recommended practical research which allayed those concerns. "

"We are very pleased to give our highest recommendation to our Realtor, Susanne Bohl. Her thorough preparation and effective marketing of our Saratoga home resulted in multiple bids and a final offer that exceeded our expected price point. Susanne is knowledgeable about all aspects of buying and selling properties and her technical expertise surpassed our expectations. Selling our home and purchasing another proved to be an arduous activity. While we were busy settling into a new city, home and job, Susanne took care of more than her share of responsibilities for our old house – operating exceptionally at all levels, from managing the preparation, initiating marketing, conducting walk-through’s up until the final sale. We have since relocated again and stayed in close touch with Susanne - who's become a long term advisor and friend. We recommend Susanne highly for her exceptional skills, integrity, personableness and results as a realtor."
-Sheila & Sanjay C., Client
"Susanne was our agent in two concurrent year-end real estate transactions, and we are highly pleased with her service. With a strict and compressed timeline, we prepared for the sale of our downtown (San Jose) apartment and the simultaneous search for our dream beach home. Susanne was fully engaged from start to finish. She listened and understood our requirements. Susanne knew market dynamics very well and advised us to showcase our apartment in its best form, so we were able to sell it at a higher than asking price. Her services also included finding and coordinating professionals for repairs, improvements, and staging of the condo. On the purchase side, Susanne researched beach properties and helped us narrow down the choices. Her negotiation experience moved the sellers to accept the majority of our most challenging terms and price demands and Susanne supported us reliably and with expertise in our due diligence for the beach property. We recommend Susanne without hesitation."
-Anupam A., Client
"We have been very pleased with Susanne as our Realtor during our purchase of a Los Altos Hills home. Working with her in the search and acquisition of the property was a very pleasant experience. Susanne is knowledgeable, professional, patient, well-networked with other agents and related professions, highly organized and proactive. She is also a strong
advocate for her clients, always striving for the most suitable outcome. Throughout the process Susanne had been educating us about various aspects of the real estate market as well as the technicalities of a sales transaction. Susanne selectively uses latest technologies as applicable to improve client and 3rd party communications. In summary, Susanne was an ideal partner for
us in our search for a new home and we will warmly recommend Susanne to others."
-Sunil B., Client
"We hired Susanne in early 2012 just as the housing market in the Bay Area started getting very competitive. Susanne quickly gathered our requirements and helped us navigate the steep learning curve in figuring out where to look and what kind of house would meet our needs. She happily showed us over a couple dozen houses, many before they even were listed, to give us extra time to decide how to proceed. This was critical in such a competitive market where offers were taken days after the first open house. Susanne presented to us the house we finally bought a week before it was listed, giving us ample time to research and consult with architects/builders. This gave us the confidence to make a strong offer leading to a successful bid on a house in Los Altos walking distance to downtown. We would not have gotten this house without Susanne's perseverance and speed."
-Tal S., Client
"Susanne is by far the best Real Estate Agent I have worked with. It was a pleasure working together with her, preparing, marketing, and negotiating my recent home sale. What looked like an impossible task in the beginning was made to look easy due to Susanne's professionalism and expertise. I highly recommend Susanne for your Real Estate dealings."
-Div. B, Client
"We used Susanne to sell our previous house and then again to buy our current house. She was helpful in coordinating all of the key activities for both transactions and provided useful guidance along the way. She is very dedicated to her work and takes pride in making sure her customers are happy with the final product."
-Jon M., Client
"I had a wonderful experience working with Susanne on purchasing my first home. She was extremely thorough and patient, and helped us through the process with no trouble despite embarking on a narrow search (eg very specific area, in a very specific cost range, etc).
Susanne is a very friendly and knowledgeable agent, and I feel lucky to have gotten to work with her. She's also extremely well connected and along the way introduced us to property managers, loan agents, etc. who helped us immensely.
I would absolutely work with Susanne again and would recommend her to any of my friends. She is a very high integrity and knowledgeable individual."
-Shubha, Client
"Over the years I have bought and sold 10 properties and I have learned how important it is to use a good realtor who specializes in your area. I was the trustee dealing with our parent’s estate and I needed to prepare their condominium for sale. I interviewed several realtors who had been highly recommended to me. I found Susanne Bohl independently on the Coldwell Banker website and met her at the property. She was the only realtor I interviewed who took the time to really look at the entire complex including the laundry room, parking structure, and storage. She prepared a very thorough market analysis and was very knowledgeable about the specific niche this condo was in.
One of Susanne’s strategic recommendations was to add a washer and dryer to the unit. She was a constant resource throughout the process and helped price correctly. Lastly, she also caught a $40,000 unnecessary charge on the closing statement. The condo sold for more than expected in seven days. She is the best."
-Alison Woods, Client
"There are not enough words to praise Agent Bohl! We've been in touch with a few realtors while looking for a house, but we were immediately impressed by Susanne’s professionalism. She is definitely not one of those agents that are merely interested in getting you a house as quickly as possible so they can move on to the next client. We saw a few houses together, she took her time to explain all the pros and cons of each one of them till we found our dream home and she helped us win over dozen of other offers. She helped us before and after closing. She has constantly gone above and beyond and she even put us in touch with our precious general contractor. Two months after closing, she still helps us with various things. Her dedication and commitment are unique in this crazy house market!"
-Angela C., Client
"Susanne is a great Real Estate agent. She learnt my needs and properties I am looking for and helped to sort out "misses" and focus on the "heats". I would not find the property I bought in the end w/o Susanne. The moment I saw it I knew this is it: my brand new home w/ advanced features, close to work and well placed. It saved me a lot of trouble and money as market had a seasonal heat. If I would be thinking one or two weeks more all properties would be gone and I would regret it deeply. Susanne rightly convinced me that the price is right and the time is now. Thank you Susanne! I like the place a lot!! I recommend Susanne as an expert in Bay Area Real Estate especially in San Jose, Los Altos vicinity."
-Vladimir T., Client
"We asked Susanne to assist us in finding a vacation home in Tahoe. Without delay she jumped into action and immediately leveraged her professional network at our desired destination reviewing the on and off-market inventory. At all times, Susanne was 100% focused on representing us and our interests and getting us the property we wanted. Her years of industry experience, her planning and use of systems made it possible to locate the ideal property, negotiate the deal, and consummate the investment in our desired timeframe. We are thrilled with the home we found and extremely pleased with the services Susanne provided. She was quick, always responsive, efficient, organized, positive, found alternative solutions, persisted in pursuing what we needed, and supported us during and after the deal. As busy Silicon Valley professionals we cannot appreciate enough her excellent, high-touch service."
-Odysseas T., Client
"Susanne was a pleasure to work with as my Real Estate Agent. She was attentive to details, quick to respond to questions, and did her best to find exactly what I was looking for in a home. She was a great partner throughout the entire process. She is also fun-loving, humorous person who makes the stressful, house-searching process relaxed and as easy as possible. I will definitely recommend her to friends and family who are looking buy in the Silicon Valley area."
-Edward A., Client
"Susanne did a great job help us find our current home in the bay area. She listens well, understands your needs and delivers. She is very hardworking, clear, straightforward and always on top of things, she is fabulous to work with."
-Rimple B., Client
"If you are looking for an agent who is knowledgeable, dependable, honest, and an advocate for the clients, I highly recommend Susanne. I normally compare different options when making a final purchasing decision. However, after I sent an email inquiry for a house that was posted online by the Coldwell Banker, that pattern was changed in this particular case. I got a call from Susanne shortly after I sent out the email. We were impressed with her knowledge, her amiable personality, and her professional manner. In the next few months, we never looked for another agent as she has been always so pleasant to work with and always so accommodating to our busy schedule when showing us various properties. She helped us buy our dream house even under asking price. In this very competitive market, we wouldn't have been able to do it without her in-depth understanding of the housing market and her sound judgement of what would be the fair price points for the houses in various locations. "
-Angela W., Client
"We met Susanne during an open house as we were casually looking at properties in San Jose. When we were ready to sell our home in Gilroy to move closer to San Jose, we didn't have a real estate agent and recalled our conversation with Susanne. We did some reference checking and decided to hire her to lead us through the selling and buying a home. She was a perfect match of our expectations of leading us through the selling of our home (which was successful). We then turned around through a competitive market and she led us through purchasing our current home. We couldn't be happier with the end result. We have recommended Susanne to friends and would hire Susanne again should we ever have the need."

"When we decided I would take early retirement from my employer in Denver starting in the Fall and and move out to Stanford University. In light of the Peninsula real estate market at that time, we decided that we would purchase a home near Stanford suitable for retirement living and contacted a couple of Bay Area realtors via their website. Susanne Bohl with Coldwell Banker responded very promptly and, after a followup telephone interview, we chose her to assist us. During a handful of visits to the area, Susanne showed us a variety of options currently on the market and we finally opted for a ranch-style property in West Menlo that had just come back onto the market when its sale fell through. Susanne kicked into high gear at this point, diligently walking us through the paperwork, inspections, including a detailed one of her own, and financials required to close the deal. It would have been a nightmare to deal with this long distance ourselves and we are grateful for Susanne's help."
-Steward & Diane L., Client
"Susanne Bohl understood our requirements by showing around a number of approach to the challenge of finding homes in Los Altos and extraordinary comfort in using technology to document and interact with us. One remarkable aspect about Susanne is that she is always "on and available". I am certain she is very busy, but she manages to respond to phone calls, emails, and text very promptly even if our question is not directly related to her speciality. Since 2009 when she helped us purchase our home, I have recommended Susanne to a number of friends. When i was looking for office space for my non-profit startup (though not susanne's domain), she helped me navigate through the different options, reviewed contracts and advised me through the process -- all probono. Susanne really cares about her clients and over the past 3 years, susanne has interacted with us as friends offering help on any count rather than just as clients to her real-estate agent service. I highly recommend Susanne Bohl."
