Our experience with Suzanne Fortune as our real estate broker exceeded all our expectations. Regarding the sale of our Woodinville property in 2019, we needed a broker who understands the market, the local environment, and the community as a whole. Above all, we needed someone we could deeply trust. We interviewed and met several brokers before choosing Suzanne.
Suzanne is an active listener who spent time understanding our needs. She led us through the sales process in a simple and transparent way. Prior to putting the house on the market, the house needed a new roof, kitchen work, new paint, and big landscaping improvements. She comes with a strong network of local contractors and paid careful attention to keeping our costs manageable. She helped project manage the home improvements with an emphasis on making the house and property "clean & beautiful." She is one of the few in a crowded field of salespeople who rolls up the sleeves and gets into the "messy details." When the house was put up on the market in December of 2018, it only took a few short weeks before we had a buyer.
Suzanne also did a wonderful job of helping us develop our adjacent pasture lot. She brought all the right contractors to the table, helped navigate us through the winter water table review, and negotiate a win win for all parties. She is professional, hard-working, and shows integrity in what she does. I would gladly recommend Suzanne to anyone looking for a trustworthy broker who goes above and beyond normal expectations. She is a caring person and it was a pleasure working with her.

I had to be in California dealing with a family emergency and sell my house in Redmond too.
Suzanne convinced me she could help and boy did she deliver! She put me in touch with the great contractors that did not break the bank. She also has a stellar team so the marketing, staging and photography were top notch. She negotiated the price I wanted and my house was listed for a very short time.
I highly recommend working with Suzanne!

If you are looking to sell or purchase a home, I would highly recommend Suzanne Fortune. She will work very hard to get you the best price available for your home. She is very conscientious and considerate of your time. She not only helped us sell our mother's house, which was very complicated, because there were 4 separate owners that all had to agree. She handled the situation with ease and grace. She also helped us find our new home. She would go out with me on several occasions to look at listings. she would send them to me to weed out so we could make good use of our limited time. When we finally figured out what we wanted, we had no trouble finding the right one for us. She helped us through the listing and selling processes and everything went very smoothly. Dealing with several people can be frustrating, but she handled it with ease. Suzanne is your go to real estate agent in my book.

Suzanne was an excellent partner in selling our home. She impressed us with her enthusiasm, knowledge, resources and hands-on willingness to do whatever needed. Her expertise in setting the right market value on our property along with recommendations on improvements and staging and her own research on our neighborhood generated so much interest we were rewarded with a bid much higher than our asking price.

Suzanne was amazing to deal with the purchase of our new home and was invaluable in helping us sell our old home and negotiate through all of the paperwork. She has a can-do attitude, very knowledgeable, has a wonderful spirit, great sense of humor, and above all ...very professional. I could not of asked for more. She is a great person, friendly, kind and considerate. She was so understanding of our needs even when we were indecisive, and could not make up our minds, I feel blessed for having her as my agent. Thank you Suzanne. You made everything fun and exciting. Zero regrets...Suzanne is awesome.

Suzanne doesn't stop at just working hard for you. She goes above and beyond because it's in her nature. I saw evidence not only of experience and wisdom in the market, but of integrity, and a love of what she does and for her clients. Suzanne is at this point not just an agent but a friend that we laugh and cry with. Hire her!

Suzanne Fortune is an outstanding realtor. She helped me sell my mother’s home as an estate sale. From beginning to end she took great care to make sure I was heard and to make as much money for the estate as possible. With her team of professionals they were able to clean out the house, landscape, paint, and stage. We had multiple offers, but it didn't stop there! Suzanne helped us by negotiating significantly over list price. As challenging as it was to sell my mom's house, Suzanne managed to make it easy and fun. I definitely recommend you call her. She's the best!

We were referred to Suzanne from a friend she had helped buy a house. Our first contact she was very personable. She asked how she could help us. I was selling my house in Lake Stevens house I had owned for 20 years. I live on the East side of Washington so most dealings were texts and phone calls. She was very willing to help that we may not have had to come over. It was a fixer upper and the way they put it on the market was such a good job, we got over asking price. She allowed me to ask the questions I had and had great answers every time. I would highly recommend her!

Suzanne is a great realtor. Our house had some unforeseen issues--beautiful home, odd yard on a hill, busy street. I think everyone looking for a house in King and Snohomish County saw our house. So Suzanne buckled down and used her creativity and knowledge along with a lot of hard work to attract the right buyers. I know she spent a lot of hours marketing, calling, emailing, and when we did have a prospect, working with the buyer's realtor to make it all happen.
Suzanne cares 100%; she puts herself in our shoes and knows how hard it is to sell a home. She gives great advice and moral support during the whole, and in my opinion, grueling process. And at the end of the day--SUCCESS.
My husband and are were both beyond ecstatic with the results. I endorse Suzanne Fortune--great job!

Suzanne is an incredible advocate to have whether you are buying or selling. Out of every agent we have known, Suzanne is set apart due to her tenacity, negotiation practices, her ability to read and adapt to others, and above all, her drive to go the extra mile for you. On multiple occasions she has surprised, if not shocked my husband and I with her fearless attitude to help us get exactly what we want. She makes connections when necessary to make working with other parties easier, and has an uncanny ability to discern what others need and want; this is a helpful trait for you and the other party in the deal. She spends ample time researching and preparing, going in person to every site we are interested in, and showing up early for all important appointments with the various parties associated with buying/selling. Her connections are incredibly helpful, and her knowledge and experience in the business is priceless. She is the best, and outside of all of that, a spectacular person, brimming with integrity and passion. She is wonderful with our kids and animals as well, and makes it easier to conduct business because she understands the distractions a parent can have. We've recommended her to everyone we know. This market is harsh right now, and you don't want anyone on your side less than someone with her skills and experience. She is truly a rare gem to have on your team.

"I am very pleased working with Suzanne to purchase my first house. It started casually by just looking at lots of houses (which she playfully calls "house safari") to cover a wide range of features/styles and problems to avoid. I was only half seriously looking at this point but I knew I wanted a house eventually.
Once I became more comfortable with the process there were a few houses that really stood out. When it came to down working out a deal I just didn't feel 100% about any of them so I backed out. Suzanne was patient and told me when the right house comes along I will know it. I was starting to feel like it wasn't going to happen.
Eventually a charming house in Greenwood showed up and I instantly loved it. Suzanne worked with the listing agent to gauge existing interest in the house and came up with a plan to give me the most solid offer I could make within my position and still feel like it matched the market value of the house. Fortunately my bid won!
After that I was still pretty nervous during the whole closing process but she helped me through it. In the end, I'm now in my house and in a much nicer neighborhood than I was actually shooting for. I still can't believe I'm living here.
If you value someone incredibly dedicated, knowledgeable and not pushy, you can't go wrong with Suzanne Fortune."
