A Real Estate Superhero!

We had the incredible fortune of working with Sue from the KW North Atlanta Mary Ellen Vanaken team during our first home purchase. Sue is an absolute gem in the world of real estate. Despite our purchase being new construction, she was able to negotiate additional perks that made  the price an even better deal. Sue went above and beyond to guide us through every step of the process. Thanks to her, the stress of buying a home felt like a breeze. Sue Jennings is not just a realtor; she's a real estate superhero, and we couldn't be more appreciative of her support and expertise. - Kayleigh Jennings
