Susan Checchio

Sue takes incredible care with each client she serves. She is an excellent listener and spends the time to truly understand the individual needs of each client. Her local market knowledge and in-depth understanding of residential real estate bring great value to each transaction.

"Sue represented us in our home sale which closed this past month. She was professional, proactive and conducted this transaction with a high level of expertise. Sue was available and reachable and returned our phone calls and texts quickly. Her insights and suggestions were helpful and accurate which helped us remain calm throughout this process and kept it moving along. We always felt like Sue cared and I was thankful to have her experienced and expert guidance from start to finish. Thank you, Sue!"

"As a real estate professional myself I knew I needed someone who would listen and hear my needs and also someone I could trust. Sue was all that and more. She was a pleasure to work with and made the stressful process of selling my home even fun!"

"Our family was in the difficult position of having to put our family house on the market after our fathers death. Our parents had lived in the house for 49 years and it had been home base for all six of us siblings. Wed cared for both of our parents until their deaths in the house and the process of preparing the house for sale, dealing with inspections, considering whether to rehab it ourselves to sell, and entertaining offers was both painful and confusing. Thank goodness we had Sue Checchio help us through this difficult process. We hit a few crisis points and Sue (who had known a couple of us in high school, we discovered!) was so knowledgeable and reassuring. We consulted her frequently and trusted her advice and wisdom. We would recommend her to anyone preparing their family home for sale her expertise, combined with kindness and practical wisdom, are invaluable. Thank you, Sue!"

"...You might have seen the article in today's Times Real Estate section about the Diane Keaton-Morgan Freeman movie. It is about selling a Brooklyn apt. It talks about realtors and does make mention about the good ones holding the sellers' hand, so I thought of you."

"If I cannot do great things, I can do small things in a great way." - Martin Luther King "Today's Instagram post from Sue Checchio marking the birthday of MLK inspired me to write this testimonial. The quote she chose on this day is the epitome of who she is as a person, as a friend, as a selfless volunteer, as a creative, and as a realtor. As she applies this to being a realtor, you can rest assured that her intentions are always pure and thoughtful. She is honest and kind coupled with knowledgeable and capable. You are in the best of hands!"

"Bill and I want to thank you for all the hard work and expert know-how you brought to the process of selling our four properties. Not only were you well informed and thorough in bringing these four sales to completion, you were always pleasant and professional, willing to listen and take our thoughts and ideas into consideration. You are also a good negotiator when buyer and seller meet an impasse, calm and controlled when things appear to be unraveling and steadfast in closing a deal. We should know, we witnessed these attributes multiple times over the last several years. Thank you for giving us your very best. We are very very happy to be in Virginia near our daughters but we do have fond memories of Westfield. What we had to accomplish in disposing of properties in New Jersey, a daunting task from our perspective was accomplished quickly and professionally for us by you. Bill and I wish the best for you, Sue, both professionally and personally, you were a pleasure to work with."

"Sue was a tireless advocate for my wife and me throughout the entire home buying experience. She was constantly operating two to three steps ahead of all parties involved and she helped us navigate the process under tight time constraints. As first-time buyers, this was an incredible asset for both of us. Most of all, though, Sue had our best interest in mind from start to finish. She clearly wants what is best, not just expedient, for her clients."

"I have been thinking a lot about what I can say to thank you for serving us with the sale of our house. It still feels a bit surreal! It's like we are on vacation! Years ago, when we first started talking about selling our house, I knew that I would be asking you to help us. I knew you would take good care of us. Thank you for all that you did to make things run smoothly for us. I definitely was not on top of my game as far as focus and detail were concerned. Through all the difficulties my family was experiencing, I never once worried about the house sale. You have no idea what a gift that was and I truly believe it was you that eased the anxiety for me. I am glad we connected and hope that we stay in touch!"

"I absolutely recommend Sue Checchio for the sale of your current home, or purchase of your next home. Having had both experiences with Sue, I can tell you that she is the professional to get either job done. With her attention to detail, her sales experience, and creative strategies, Sue will be there with you every step of the way. I have known Sue now for a number of years, and what started out as a realtor-client relationship has turned into a strong friendship. She helped me to find the perfect house to satisfy both my geographic preferences and economic situation - no easy challenge. When the sale of my home hit a roadblock, she expertly navigated me through it until it was successfully sold - and for a higher price. I dont think you could ask for a better realtor to help guide you through one of the most important financial decisions you will ever make. "

"We have known Sue for years and feel completely comfortable with her professionally and personally. Sue has always been patient, kind and would go out on a limb for us whenever we needed her to. She is a perfect combination of every fantastic quality we respect in a Realtor!"

"Sue was fantastic throughout the process and went above and beyond to not only show us properties but to show that she has a vested interest in getting us everything we wanted and needed. She was responsive whenever we had an inquiry and facilitated a lot of introductions for us."

"Sue is my Sales Associate at Coldwell Banker in Westfield, NJ. She found us our dream house in 2007, but not before showing us many many others. During the search, I emailed and texted her often - I am impatient and don't sleep - bad combo in the eyes of many real estate agents, BUT not Sue. She has the patience of a saint and truly knows the area. Now that we are in our dream house, she is still a part of my life. I recommend her to everyone, including my sister, and she is now a friend of the family. This all began b/c she is the best damn Sales Associate out there!!!"

"Sue is the real estate agent everyone hopes for. She patiently worked with me over the course of a year to make strategic improvements on the house and arranged for a stager and a professional photographer, who were both at the top of their game, to work with me as well. When it came time to list the house, Sue actually recommended a listing price that was higher than I anticipated. We proceeded to list at her recommended price and received an offer at the listing price from the very first showing. She was a good negotiator and someone you definitely want on your team because she looks out for you. I would recommend her to anyone selling or purchasing a home. I am so thrilled with the results. I also want to note that she saved us thousands in unnecessary home improvements I would have otherwise had done if she didnt steer me away from them. Thank you, Sue!"

"My wife and I contacted Sue over two years ago to help us find a home. From day one to closing, Sue went above and beyond anything we could have hoped for in a real estate agent. Her depth of knowledge of the market, keen negotiating skills, and friendly positive attitude combine to make her an invaluable asset to anyone looking to purchase a home. I would happily use her services again, along with her equally deft associate Kara Murphy. Anyone looking for a home in Union County would do well to contact Sue Checchio!"

"The support, patience and guidance Sue provided us as we navigated the purchase of our first home was something we will always be grateful for. From the start of our search, she listened to what we were looking for, asked the right questions, and ultimately - Sue is the one who "found" our home - and we loved it as soon as we set foot inside! Once the purchase process began, we experienced the same attention and support. We knew we were in good hands working with Sue from the beginning, and would recommend her to anyone looking to make a move to the area!"

"Our experience with Sue Checchio was positive, and we felt extremely confident in her ability as well as professionalism in selling our home. Sue appreciated our home's special and unique qualities, and while experiencing her enthusiasm, we knew we had chosen the best agent for us! "

"We wanted to write you a quick note to thank you for all of your help with our relocation. Since we were totally new to the New Jersey area, we had more questions than answers as we started to look for our first house. Your exceptional "local knowledge" and general real estate expertise proved invaluable to us in our search. In a very short period of time, you helped us get an in-depth understanding of the market and you were able to focus on what we were looking for. We never wasted time looking at houses that were outside of our parameters and you never pushed us to make a decision. However, you did find the perfect house for us! Thank you, Sue. You are a true professional and we really appreciate all of your help."
