"Suzette went above and beyond helping us navigate this crazy housing market. As first-time homeowners, she supported us throughout the process, most recently with our closing. We had worked with other agents prior to working with Suzette and they just didn’t compare. Suzette will step up to bat for you and it is evident she has a real passion for her job. Throughout the process, she was very flexible, attentive, and responsive to our needs. She is highly familiar with Westchester and Connecticut towns. Most importantly she is kind and it really felt like she wanted us to find our dream home. We highly recommend Suzette Kraus." - Jillian C.

"We enthusiastically recommend Suzette Kraus and her team to represent your house listing. She is an excellent agent. Her deep experience with our local market (Chappaqua) was matched by her attention to detail with all aspects of the listing, from the quality of the photos and mailers to truly superb staging. We had our first bid above asking on the first day of showing (on a Friday), with two more bids above asking by the end of the weekend, with a total of 5 bids in hand for us to select from. We were in contract within days at terms very favorable to us. We look forward to working with her and Compass again in the future." - Stephen B.

"We’ve worked with 7+ realtors, moving many times across various states, and Suzette was one of the BEST. She was patient, knowledgeable, and easily available through text, call and for showings. Suzette really understood what we were looking for and how to balance both of our wants/needs. Our home search occurred during a crazy market with low house inventory where houses are going above list price with many offers and no contingencies. At one point in our search she reached out to everyone she knew about potential upcoming listings and worked off-market to search for houses. When we found and got our home, she walked us through the entire buying process and even has a curated list of contractors. Suzette is a 10 out of 10!" - Maria K.

"Suzette helped my wife and I find our dream home in Chappaqua 19 years ago. I am writing to share my most recent experience which was selling our home. My children graduated from the Chappaqua high school and my wife had a job opportunity out of state that she couldn’t pass up. I immediately thought of Suzette to list my house since we had such a positive experience with her 19 years ago. She did not disappoint. Suzette guided us through the process of getting our home prepared to put it on the market. She suggested to us removing the unground oil tank, painting certain rooms and hired a stager to get our house in order and ready for the market. She did her homework in reviewing comps in the neighborhood and went over that with us. She was realistic in the price in which my house should be listed. The open house was a success in addition to the private showings. We had multiple offers $150,000 over asking in less than two weeks. The bottom line is Suzette is a very experienced broker who took charge and provided excellent suggestions and insight throughout the process. She worked very hard for my wife and the results demonstrate that. The best part of all is we bought an amazing home out of state and we didn’t have to carry 2 mortgages for more than a month because Suzette sold our house so quickly. I highly recommend Suzette to all our friends and family. She was a pleasure to work with! Thank you Suzette! We think so highly of you! You are a superstar!" - Andrew K.

"Six years ago, Suzette helped us find our "dream home" in North Stamford and an instant friend! Two years ago she helped us navigate through the purchase of a 3 family rental property in Greenwich. She is now our rental agent for the property. She helps with apartment decor, handles vetting prospective tenants, making sure they have the proper insurances & the signing of leases. With her knowledge of the area, her understanding of the R.E. market, attention to detail, enthusiasm & delightful personality, Suzette is the only real estate agent we would ever use or recommend. We continue to rely on Suzette for her help with selecting contractors and services. They have all been great! There just isn't enough room to list all of Suzette's attributes!" - Diane H.

"My husband and I not only bought our house with Suzette but when it was time to move we were excited to use her again as our listing agent. Suzette was especially compassionate and supportive throughout the process as it was a particularly sensitive time for me. I appreciated her ability to be a friend first and to completely understand the emotional investment we had made in our home. Suzette listed our house at market value and negotiated a sale that was 30% above asking. Suzette is kind, laser focused and extremely well versed in the market - these attributes allow her to guide you through the process of selling a home with confidence and ease of knowing you're in the right hands. We can't thank Suzette enough for helping buy and sell our first home and beyond that, for being someone we can continue to reach out to with real estate questions or simply to catch up on life!" - Natalie N.

"Suzette had been aware that we were thinking of selling our house for the past year or so. She never pressured us to pull the trigger but kept us up to date on the state of the market. We decided very last minute to put it on the market in late fall. She pivoted like lighting to get the house ready including taking care of various title issues, etc as well as any staging that she felt we needed. She explained her marketing strategy and went above and beyond in her efforts. Our house sold in a week and the process was extremely smooth and painless. The thing that really stood out to us was her responsiveness and communication throughout the process. I would highly recommend Suzette and her team if you are thinking of selling or buying a house!" - Stephanie I.

"My wife and I just closed on a weekend home and Suzette did a truly outstanding job for us. The negotiation was complicated at times. Her wise advice and creative suggestions helped resolve a range of knotty issues. Without her, I don't think that we and the sellers would have come to an understanding. She listened carefully, understood what we wanted, and helped us to find the best way to do it. Suzette was extremely organized and impressively detail-oriented, flagging issues that we had missed. She also was extremely responsive. She always returned our texts and calls promptly. She gave wise advice on a broad range of subjects and introduced us to a number of very talented inspectors, contractors, and other professionals. We love the home we bought and are extremely grateful to Suzette. We can't imagine a more talented real estate professional. She's amazing!!" - David S.

"Suzette is absolutely amazing and I totally recommend her! Suzette not only agreed with our asking price but was able to get us more than what we asked. She was super professional, always available, very patient, had so much knowledge of the area and had all the connections when looking for estimates of things that needed fixing. We currently live in NJ and couldn’t be in CT a lot of the times. We only went there twice. Once to show her the unit and later to sign the contract. She took care of absolutely everything! If you are looking for a realtor to sell or buy a place in CT, look no more. Suzette is the best!" - Florentina H.

"The most amazing, dedicated, energetic, professional agent I’ve every worked with. Her perseverance is unmatched to anyone. I’ve sold 4 homes in the last 5 years. No one compares to the endless attention Suzette Kraus has given to my personal sale. Suzette will offer suggestions, stage your home free, if needed. Her professional photos with a photographer highlight your property a quick sale. Suzette Kraus knows the ins and out of the Stamford Town Hall and can expedite the arduous process of obtaining permits and COA’s. Suzette and I have established a special relationship while working together on my project. I have never encountered a woman of her dedication. Suzette Kraus is one in a million. She’s my number one realtor!" - Carolyn R.

"It was a great experience working with Suzette. She was extremely professional from our initial meeting to final negotiations. We hired Suzette after we could not sell our home for a year. During the process she provided us with many great tips and put in a lot of her own time and labor to prepare our home. And just after the first which was an amazing event we received 3 offers and closed soon after. I recommend her to anyone who wants to get things done fast. She knows her stuff!!!! Thank you Suzette!" - Alexandra L.

"Suzette made buying my first home an enjoyable and seamless experience. It was a pleasure to work with her. I really felt that she always had my best interest in mind and guided me in the right direction every step of the way. Suzette made sure I was knowledgeable in the home-buying process and was always available to answer my questions. She is an informative, knowledgeable and efficient agent. I recommend her to all!" - Krista D.
★★★★★
"As first time buyers, we came into the home buying experience with millions of questions and no idea what we were doing. Suzette was incredibly patient; she answered every single question, managed us through all of our frustrations and helped us navigate the challenging Greenwich market to find an amazing home for us to our own! I would not hesitate to on Suzette in the future, and would certainly recommend any friends looking advice or home buying help in the Fairfield/Westchester area to reach out to her." - David C.
★★★★★
"Wonderful experience! I thought selling a was supposed to be hard. Suzette helped us sell our home last minute because of a job opportunity. She came by and was very professional, gave us suggestions as to what changes and staging items needed to be completed in order to sell at the price we wanted -- we tightly adhered to her suggestions and had her list our home. We had several offers within the first 24 hours, and based on the feedback we received these offers we're 100% due to her staging capabilities. She ended up selling our home MORE THAN ASKING immediately upon listing. Do yourself a favor and list with this agent and listen to her suggestions - she clearly knows what she's doing and will make your selling process much less stressful." - Thomas S.
★★★★★
"We worked with Suzette about close to 3 years before choosing our . She is phenomenal to work with and was very accommodating given our busy schedules and never put any pressure during the process. She was extremely knowledgable given our search spanned literally two states and different counties! She still continues to help us providing recommendations on our reno work. We will definitely recommend her without reservation." - Raj T.
