I cannot say enough good things about Susan Lodge. From the moment we contacted her inquiring about real estate in the Aspen Valley, Susan has impressed. She worked incredibly hard to try to find us our dream home, showing us home after home throughout the valley. Then, when we decided that we wanted to build our own home, she showed us lot after lot. Susan was patient and professional throughout our entire process. When we missed out on one lot that we wanted, she helped us with a backup offer, but then found us an even better lot that wasn’t even listed by contacting the owners directly and arranging the sale. I highly recommend Susan.
Carrie and Scott, MNI was lucky enough, very lucky indeed, to meet Susan at the office of Sotheby’s in Snowmass Village in 2011. I just shook hands and said to her “I am curious but I am not planning to buy anything”. I mean, she should have gotten rid of me instantly. Instead, she devoted to me as her number one client, showed me all the different kinds of things that a rookie could be asking for, and presented to me the house of my dreams, which of course I bought in 2012. The good services included all kinds of necessary connections that somebody coming from abroad needs, including introducing me to the Bank which financed the transaction, service providers, suppliers, even neighbors. Always ready for the extra mile. Her good services have continued ever since, giving me solid pieces of advice and ready to chat at any time on market trends and the like. I admire her, I am happy to have bought the house and feel that I have a new good friend.
I think Susan did a great job in guiding me through the process and has been extremely proactive. I have been lookng at buying real estate in the US for some time and Susan really made it easy for me. Although the acutal process was a pain, as I am not in the US and I had some problems just before closing (the big earthquake in Japan in 2011!) it was made easy by her support. She has really gone beyond the call of duty to help me out and her assistnce and support has been invaluable.

As our friend and realtor, we couldn’t be happier with your help selling our home, and purchasing a new one. You were always so professional, prepared, and responsive to our concerns. We appreciate the effort you put in to the marketing program, your insights regarding pricing, and your patience during the more stressful moments. In all, we are pleased to recommend Susan Lodge to any of our friends, or any potential clients, who may want to buy or sell a house. Susan would be a very good choice-she always goes the extra mile.

You were a KILLER partner and a listing broker I would hire if I were seller! You were awesome on every level. And oh by the way, you sold it too, what a nice reward for you.

I greatly appreciate how you orchestrated the shoot yesterday. Thank you for bringing your vision, energy, support materials – and for working so seamlessly with the photographer. It felt good having the two of you moving through my space and I am so pleased that I chose you to list my residence; your presence in my place enriches it.
