Dear Susan,
Thank you for all your help over the past 18 months. Buying a home in a different state proved to be a long and arduous process but we were lucky to have you by our side. Your hard work helped us find our dream home, and we couldn’t be more grateful or excited about this milestone.
From the first day we met at your office, to the day we closed, you were our eyes and ears looking out for our best interests and we appreciate it.
We have to give you credit, although we were in different states, your communication skills were exactly what we needed to feel comfortable, consistently updating us whenever we had a concern. You really took the time to know us and understand our family dynamic. And we learned a great deal about you. You earned our trust!
We’re so grateful for the effort you put in to keep us informed and confident while navigating this purchase. Your service and personal touch exceeded our expectations.
Is there a good place to write a review of your services? Please let us know. We will be happy to share our positive experience to help encourage others to get in touch with you. We also plan to refer you to our friends, family, and colleagues who need real estate assistance in the future. -
Sue is a very knowledgeable and patient agent to work with. She takes time to understand her clients and gently guides them to what is the best outcome.
We toured many properties and lots with Sue over several months and we were very impressed with her knowledge of the builders and local area. Sue became a trusted advisor, and still is.
If you are looking for a realtor, Sue would be a great way to go!

Susan Leach is an exceptional Realtor. Her conscientious attention to detail and knowledge made our sale smooth and less stressful. We would highly recommend her. She goes above and beyond for her clients and we Susan Leach was the best realtor we could have asked for in our search for our retirement ‘forever’ home. Within the first 3 homes we looked at she had an exact idea of what we were looking for in our new home. We found a suitable house and had an accepted offer. Before the offer was signed, the seller tried putting us in a bidding war. We wanted nothing to do with that and Susan came up with the ideal house for us that same afternoon. Susan’s attention to our desires made our search an easy and ultimately satisfying experience.
Susan’s experience, attention to her clients, and tremendous communications made our search easy for us. She constantly had appropriate houses for us to research and look at during the process. None of the viewings we made were a waste of time. -
We recently bought a beautiful home in St James and worked with Sue Leach to make it happen. She was a delight to work with as were the rest of the team at St James Properties. As our realtor, Sue was supportive, respectfully direct and patient in coaching us through learning the market here in St James. Once we had made the decision to make an offer she was ruthlessly efficient in driving all parties through the transaction. She is now a friend and remains highly supportive as we navigate joining the community here in beautiful St James. Thank you Sue

Having bought, sold and built a number of homes and properties up and down the East coast, we are well acquainted with the importance of finding a competent, professional realtor to make the process as easy as possible. We won the golden ticket by being assigned to Sue Leach by St. James Properties! Sue made buying a home in unfamiliar North Carolina, while residing in our home state of Pennsylvania, feel exciting, not daunting. Sue is kind, calm, centered; she is friendly, knowledgeable and encouraging; she does things like take your phone call as she is about to enter a theatre on a Saturday night. There is no pressure or urgency with Sue. She made us feel like she had all the time in the world for us, and that she was our partner in finding our home in our own time. In all aspects of communication (phone calls, texts, emails, a weekend "introductory" tour, online house hunting, etc.), Sue was incredibly responsive and positive, a true advocate for her agency and for St. James as a community. We heartily recommend St. James Properties and Sue Leach to any prospective clients dreaming of being "up and gone to Carolina"!
