Sue Lehr Mitchell – Today Sotheby’s International Realty

An unbelievable agent. We are from the Boston area and could never have pulled it together to sell our inherited property. Sue went over and above her duties as our agent. She was right there solving all our problems. She has a great attitude and superior knowledge of the area. She priced the property right on and we sold it quickly and efficiently. I cannot praise her enough. If you need a real estate agent you cannot get better than Sue Mitchell. Did I mention her great sense of humor. That helped a lot.

If it was possible I would have given Sue Lehr Mitchell way more than just five stars! She is a consummate professional. She not only knows the market, she comes to know the needs of her clients. She listens, cares and then responds. Sue is not afraid of hard work. Even in this crazy market, she is able to get it done! Sue has been our realtor on four different property purchases. Again, she is professional, friendly, diligent, knows the market, knows how to make things happen, keeps her clients apprised and up-​to-​date, and will always be our first (only) choice when purchasing or selling properties/​apartments/​houses!

Sue is the reason we are staying in the Bay Area and not moving out in total defeat. Coming down from San Francisco to the Peninsula, we thought we knew what competitive was. Oh, how wrong we were. The real estate market here is off the charts. Open houses overflowing with desperate families, sellers pricing homes to appeal to international investors, people wearing Google Glass at the open house to intimidate others… it’s crazy.
We thought we knew the area based on our own research, Redfin, Zillow, Walkscore, etc. but there really is no replacement for an agent like Sue, who truly knows the ins and outs of all the little neighborhoods, knows where the gas pipelines are, knows traffic, knows how the noise factor is going to be due to the airport, and has actually lived in the area for a long time. She has also raised kids in the area, so she understands what parents need.
Sue is eagle-​eyed when reviewing disclosures and looking at properties; she catches small details that an unseasoned or overwhelmed buyer would miss. She has also seen a lot of renovations and has a good vision for what is possible, since many buyers on the Peninsula end up purchasing smaller homes and adding on or remodeling.
In addition to being incredibly knowledgeable about the market and real estate in general, she’s just a consummate professional. Classy but down to earth, friendly and funny. Working with her was a pleasure, and she kept our spirits up even when we had multiple offers rejected. I can’t reveal all the strategies she used to help us finally seal the deal on the perfect house, but I will just say that it was a wonderful transaction and everyone, including the seller, ended up very happy.
