Fantastic experience: My family has worked with Sue for close to 40 years, and we are so grateful to her expertise and partnership. She has been careful with every detail, has handled every transaction mindfully, and was always honest with her feedback. Thank you, Sue, for everything!

Fantastic experience: I’ve known of Sue Garfield since moving to Eldorado 12 years ago. Even then, she and her partner Fred at Santa Fe Properties were probably the best known realtors in the community. Both lived here and both contributed their personal time to make Eldorado and the surrounding area the special place it is. When Fred retired, Sue stayed on. I hadn’t dealt with her personally until a friend of mine from out of town asked me to go with her to find a lot in Eldorado to build on. I found Sue very pleasant to work with and she remained so even when my friend ended up buying a mid-century modern in the Midwest. Since then I’ve had several friends who were happy to have used her to buy or sell their homes. So she was the first person I thought of when we found a house in La Paz for our son and his family, who were moving from Los Angeles. We asked her to represent us as the buyers’ agent. It was a great decision. She was our navigator through the labyrinth of offers, counter offers, home inspections and closing details. We made our original offer in late December and closed in late January on the date Sue had predicted. The best recommendation I can give is, if we had to do it all over again, we would choose Sue.

Fantastic experience: Sue Garfitt represented our home to prospective buyers with efficiency and experience. She saw to it that our home was clean and presentable. She marketed our home expertly. She represented us when questions arose. She persisted in a difficult market. She kept us informed of issues. She listened and gave good advice, yet she respected our wishes as well. She did all of this, and more, while we were living in another state. We were confident in her ability as a realtor.

Fantastic experience: Sue Garfitt is an absolute gem. She is gifted in a unique way with her many , many abilities to navigate the craziness of selling a home with grace, professionalism, focus , and understanding of all the highs and lows that inevitably happen along the way. Sue has loads of experience, a great understanding of real estate, and keeps it all on track. I found myself stepping back to watch her work (in admiration) and communicate with various contractors to prepare the house to sell with care and respect, all while remaining calm and respectful of everyone involved. I trust her completely and hope to work along side her another day.

Fantastic experience: Sue G provided the necessary support to present our house in photos and advertising. The real-estate market was shifting to a buyers market therefore our time to sold was longer. But a buyer arrived and the sale closed. There were a lot of documents to approve, but Sue insured that they were submitted in a timely manner. LAG

Fantastic experience: We worked with Sue to purchase a home in Eldorado. She was easy to work with and invaluable in helping us through the home buying process. She was also very knowledgeable about the Eldorado community providing us with useful information about our new community.

She knows everything about the community and was an invaluable resource as we underwent a variety of improvement projects.

Fantastic experience: Sue has a well deserved reputation for being the best realtor you can choose to buy or sell your home. I have done both, with her well-informed professional guidance. Sue not only has decades of experience in the Eldorado/ Santa Fe market, she has integrity, intelligence and good humor. These qualities have allied her with equally reliable people in the business from mortgage lenders to tradespeople - whom she gets on your team. I recommend Sue to those seeking the highest quality professionalism and extensive knowledge of today's market.

Fantastic experience: Sue was a honest hardworking realtor that really cared about our real estate transaction.

Fantastic experience: When we purchased our home in Eldorado we worked with Sue. The process could not have moved more quickly and smoothly. We gave Sue a list of our “must haves”. She showed us one house that checked all our boxes, and that was the house we purchased. Sue was there for us, 110%. Now, several years later we have worked with Sue again to sell our home. And again, the process could not have moved more quickly and smoothly. Sue managed the entire process: the house went under contract quickly, negotiations and inspections were completed without a hitch and the closing, (which was done while we were out of state), was completed seamlessly. Again, Sue was there for us, 110%. We can’t recommend her highly enough. Noll/Seaborn Family

Fantastic experience: Sue knows everything and everyone to provide a smooth transition. Then she will go ABOVE and BEYOND for you!

Fantastic experience: Sue was so kind and empathetic at a time of our loss and helped us move quickly through the selling process. Sue went out of her way to help us prepare the house for sale, helping us find places to donate items and finding a good cleaning service. Her knowledge of the area is outstanding, she understands the market and was patient and thorough in her explanations of the selling process. I really appreciated her realistic approach, her commitment to doing things with an environmental conscience and her calm expertise.

Fantastic experience: Sue recently helped with the sale of my deceased father’s home. She went above and beyond to assist in getting resources to help clean and take care of his possessions, as well as tracking down information on the property that we (his children) didn’t know about. She coordinated a long distance closing too. I highly recommend Sue. She’s kind as well as being knowledgeable and professional.

Fantastic experience: Sue is a great realtor. We heard about her when we chose to focus on Eldorado. I don't think anyone knows this market better than Sue. In addition to knowing the market very well, she was efficient, timely, and thoughtful. We had limited time because we came from eastern Kansas, so we needed the extra help Sue gave us.

Fantastic experience: I have had the opportunity to purchase 2 homes in Santa Fe. Both times Sue Garfitt is the realtor I chose to help me. I also listed my home with her. She had great advice and suggestions as to what was needed to have my house ready to show. Her direction was spot on. The process of buying and selling a home is stressful and Sue helped make it less so. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a home or selling a home.

Fantastic experience: We cannot recommend Sue Garfitt strongly enough. She is an excellent realtor in all respects. Highly knowledgeable about Eldorado and the US-285 Corridor. Long and successful experience in this market. Easy and pleasant to work with. Through the years we lived in Eldorado, we consulted Sue occasionally for reevaluation of our property and advice on maintenance, with regard to future marketability. When time came for us to sell, Sue ably guided us through the process: when the market was right to list; how to price it; how to deal with critical details such as roof and septic inspections. The final result was highly satisfactory - quick sale at near asking price. In our case, Sue represented the buyers as well. She handled the conflicting interests with discretion and skill and assisted the negotiations to an outcome beneficial to both parties. Sue Garfitt is active in the Eldorado area community and focused on that market. Her expertise and deep experience make her, in our judgment, the preeminent realtor in Eldorado.

Fantastic experience: My wife and I recently moved to Eldorado from Texas. A friend suggested we contact Sue. It was a great suggestion. We called Sue and let her know what we were interested in as well as our price range. When we were ready, Sue showed us several properties that met our criteria. She is knowledgeable about the area and made helpful suggestions. Once we found the house of our dreams, she helped us navigate the system. Our purchase went off without a hitch. We have called on her a couple times since we moved in to get some suggestions for repair and remodel people. Again, she pointed us in the right direction. I have no hesitation recommending Sue. We enjoyed getting to know her.

Positive experience: Sue will work and stay until the house is sold.

Fantastic experience: Over the years my wife and I had to move on a number of occasions due to professional demands. This, of course, required the marketing and selling of each of our homes as we moved about the country. At the end of our road here in Santa Fe, I found Sue Garfitt to be one of the most professional, well versed and studied in real estate law, financing and the like, as well an intelligent, articulate, patient ( a most critical value/asset in my humble opinion) realtor with a most appropriate sense of humor (another critical value/asset if you ask me). There wasn't a single issue, problem, challenge or expectation during the sale of this property that Sue did not address and resolve, never miss a beat. I can recommend Sue to you without any reservations whatsoever.

Positive experience: Sue is a lovely person with many years of experience selling homes in Eldorado, where she also lives. We enjoyed working with her, though the timing of our sale was unfortunate (right before the increase in interest rates) so it did take a while.
