Sue Markim was absolutely amazing to work with. She helped us find exactly what we were looking for in the quality of home and she helped us get the best price for it. I don't believe anyone could have done more for us. I highly recommend Sue.

We loved working with Sue Markim throughout our first home purchase process. We felt like she always had our best interest at heart and made sure the builder was on top of everything. I will certainly recommend her to my friends and family in the Austin area. We loved her enthusiasm and energy!

Sue Markim and her team helped my family and me find the home we've been dreaming about at the best price. She has earned my confidence and trust. If you're looking to buy or sell your home, please give Sue a call. I promise you'll be glad you did.

We had a lovely experience with Sue and were so happy to have her on our team! She definitely exceeded our expectations, and we would recommend her to anyone. Sue put us in touch with our mortgage lender which worked out great for us, and we knew she was always ready to go the extra mile for us when needed.

As background, my dad was a professional realtor/broker for 25 years and I have personally bought/sold close to 100 homes in Texas (primarily Houston) over the past 15 years. I have bought and sold properties with just an attorney and tried a number of the 1% listing agencies but continue to prefer using a true professional realtor. My observation is that not all realtors are the same and you don't always get what you paid for. Sue has been a dear friend to the Duffy's for 15 years and we consider their family a mere extension of our own. Although there was some reluctance to use a friend which may jeopardize our friendship, I had confidence that Sue would represent me and my objectives well. Buying and selling houses is emotional, to say the least. What I found in Sue was her willingness to take the time to understand our goals (smaller house, simpler lifestyle, quality of home, location/location/location) at the beginning of the process. This investment in time made our search process much more efficient and enjoyable. She provided real counsel compared to just trying to sell us a house. What simply amazed me was her focus on the details and her pleasant persistence with all parties to move everything along until the closing was complete. She handled herself very well under pressure being a counselor/intermediary between us, the buyer, mortgage company, and title company. All deals have "bumps" along the way and Sue hit them head-on in an honest, courteous, and persistentmanner, unlike most realtors I have worked with in the past. On the selling side, Sue knocked this out of the park as well. I would not hesitate to tell others how great she was to work with. Sue was laser-focused on making sure our house was ready to sell and her marketing of the property was first class. One of the best tests of a great realtor is their finesse in explaining to the homeowner that their "castle" needs a fewupdates/modifications. Although our property was in very good shape, she did an excellent job telling us how to improve the marketability of our home to maximize our selling price. She acutely understands the importance of and the execution behind the initial selling launch of a property. The website, the brochures, the staging, and the Open House made this house easy to sell on its first weekend. In summary, if you are buying or selling a home, Sue Markim is a talented professional. I highly recommend her to others and would expect that her clients will return time and again to work with her. Sue earns every dollar she is paid.

Sue Markim helped us sell our house in Austin last month. We were out-of-town sellers, and Sue managed the preparations, listing, and sale with very little on-site help from us. She was always available to answer our questions and kept us well informed during the entire process. Her attitude was always upbeat, positive, and professional and made the entire experience easy and enjoyable. We have bought and sold several houses over the years and have never had a better Realtor. We are very grateful for Sue's help.

We enjoyed working with Sue Markim to sell our home in Spicewood and to purchase a new home in Rough Hollow. She was very attentive to our concerns and always acted professionally in all circumstances. Sue made the process as painless as possible. We highly recommend her.

Allen and I enjoyed our experience with Sue during our selling experience. Her knowledge of the real estate market along with feedback on how to make our sale go smoothly was very helpful. With something as personal as a home sale, you need to make sure that you have someone in your corner who knows you and your intimate connection with your home. Real estate agents can feel very impersonal and just "out for the sale." Even with moments of uneasiness and minor issues, Sue handled herself and us with professionalism and care. Weappreciate all the hard work that Sue placed in our sale and would recommend her to anyone who is looking for aprofessional, sensitive, and seamless sale.

We could not be happier with our service from Sue. We have bought and sold numerous homes and condos in the past and Sue is the best Realtor we have worked with. She was always professional and went above and beyond to help us in getting our condo sold. This was a second home for us, so we were not living there. Sue was always willing and helpful when things needed to be done at the condo and we could not be there. If we get to a point in our life where we would live in Austin full time, we will call Sue to help us. Thank you to Sue for making our selling experience quick and effortless.
Beth and Jim Smith
Sue was awesome to work with, very attentive to details, and an excellent negotiator in putting the deal together. I couldn't have a higher regard for Sue, she is the best Realtor we've ever worked with, and that says a lot because we do several real estate transactions a year. We were so fortunate to have worked with Sue and continue to work with her (she has another one of our properties listed).
Mike Glubke
I cannot say enough about how great Sue was in helping us market and complete the sale of our condo. We were on the market within days of making the decision to sell, had offers within a week at close to the asking price, and closed all within one month. We have sold houses seven times, and this was amazingly easy and successful due to Sue's energy and experience. Great job and a very nice person to work with. I would highly recommend her to my friends.
Peter Zwart
Sue Markim was absolutely wonderful to work with! It was a long 18-month process from start to finish, and she was there with us every step of the way. She would check in to make sure we were happy during the process and wouldn't hesitate to contact anyone with any questions or concerns we had. She took a lot of the stress of home buying and building off of us by handling certain things when our attention needed to be elsewhere. She is a strong negotiator who truly cares about her client's wants and needs to make sure they are in the perfect home. Iwouldn't hesitate to use Sue again, and would highly recommend her!
Sarah Hamilton
Buying and selling a home can be one of the most stressful times in your life. It's important to have an agent you can trust who won't be pushy. Sue's professional approach with clients provides comfort and confidence! Thank you for making us feel like your greatest priority. Thank you for everything Sue!
Shawn Reed
I highly recommend Sue for any role where personality, professionalism, and sales are the key criteria. I have had the pleasure of knowing her as a friend that I would entrust with both my money and my family. She has an uncanny ability to listen well and respond quickly and have creative ideas. As a career salesman, I would fear her as a competitor. She is bright, energetic, and a shrewd negotiator. I will always have a spot in my sales organization for Sue.
Tim Duffy
Our experience in working with Sue Markim is a testament to two facts: first, the value of having a professional real estate representation when selling a home; and second, the value of having a top-notch agent who can find prospective buyers and represent the property in the most favorable light, understanding the market and how best to present the property. Our house sold in less than a week for top dollar. This is 100% attributable to Sue's skill and hard work.
