Susan Clark

Susan is an amazing real estate agent. She was instrumental in making our Monterey dream come true, contributing countless hours to researching properties, asking questions of listing agents and sellers, helping coordinate and move the process along. Susan went above and beyond in helping represent us, scouting out potential properties, offering sound advice about the Monterey area, and real estate buying strategies. She is very dedicated, and has a wonderful understanding of the area. We are deeply grateful that she helped us find our dream home.
Seth and Sara Carlson, Monterey Buyer

Susan is your dream REALTOR®! She represented us as buyers and spent over a year introducing us to the local markets and offerings — bringing knowledge, patience and enthusiasm to the process. Her familiarity with neighborhoods was notable, often down to the weather or local offerings. Throughout Covid she made all the required arrangements and accompanied us to every visit. She is a great listener and was responsive to small requests. She knows the market and many of the agents, representing us with tact and warmth. She knows the legal process, keeping us on time and well informed. She was with us every step of the way... Also providing recommendations for local service providers and helping us deal with a home warranty problem after escrow closed. Susan offers the rare combination of professionalism and warmth that comes from liking what she does.

Marlene and I wish to express our profound thanks for your excellent work in successfully marketing our Carmel Valley home, the sale of which was completed today. To think that your forged ahead with this project without ever having met us face-to-face! Armed with your trusty cellular phone and a stoic determination to succeed, you truly did represent these absentee clients with such patience and personal care, it seemed as though we’d been great personal friends for years. We will, dear Susan, continue to regard you as the trusted friend you turned out to be, and it is our hope that one day we may meet. You took us on a remarkably painless journey, considering the havoc caused by the elements in the early days of the listing. But you took the helm and solved all problems on our behalf with tremendous panache! May all your future Clients be so completely satisfied with your gentle care and professionalism. We owe you much, Susan. With our warm wishes,
Jack and Marlene Kroeger (Carmel Valley sellers)

Susan was a delight to work with! When we decided we wanted to purchase in Carmel she was very informative & attentive to our needs. She was available to show properties and act on our behalf. We are very happy with her services, from start to finish. Her 36 years of experience is invaluable!

It has been several weeks since we sold our home in Pebble Beach. I want to again express our appreciation for your friendly and professional service as our agent for the sale. We are happy in our new home and speak often of the quick responses and helpful suggestions to our questions. We look back in wonder at the several professionals you provided for estate sales, charity donations, cleaning and hauling, inspections, escrow services, and closing procedures . We were quite anxious about selling our home that we owned for 28 years, but you made the whole process “without drama” and did everything you said you would do. We are sincerely grateful and would be very pleased to recommend you to anyone contemplating buying or selling their home.

My family has moved across country more than a dozen times in the fifty years my wife and I have been married. In that time we have worked with dozens of real estate agents. We can honestly say that Susan Clark is the best of all. We continue to be impressed by her professionalism, sensitivity, honesty, and caring for us as her clients over the past purchase and sale of our home in Monterey. She not only helped guide us to the right home and connected us to a good mortgage loan company, but also helped us market and sell the property several years later, find a great mover, and even cleaned the house after we moved out. That’s real service. Susan also linked us up with a great real estate agent in our new job destination, which facilitated the purchase of a new home there. You could not find a better agent to sell or help you buy your property than Susan Clark.

Susan Clark helped my family sell two homes in Pacific Grove in less than a year. She was an absolute professional with an insightful and pragmatic understanding of the housing market on the Monterey Peninsula Area. In both cases, she helped us navigate some premarket improvements helping us make prudent investments that paid off. She had a great list of reliable tradesmen able to do any project on the house, and since we were out of state she was like a general contractor to oversee all the work. Susan wore many hats, always willing to go above and beyond to get the job done. Her marketing capabilities were top notch, and when the offers came in, she helped sort through them and negotiate the best sales contract. We strongly recommend her to anyone selling a home in the area. Susan was extraordinary!

When my husband and I made the decision to sell our home in Del Monte Beach (Monterey) we had so many reservations. Mainly, we don’t live in Monterey and with our primary home being four hours away, we had concerns because our house needed a few things to be done before it could go on the market. Susan took care of everything for us which made our lives so much easier!!! Being so familiar with the peninsula she had so many contacts, people whom she knowns and trusts and are reliable. She set up appointments and made sure that the jobs were done properly and efficiently. Our worries were gone with Susan at the helm! We gave her the keys to our home and she got to work. By the time she was done our home looked fabulous! Susan exceeded our expectations of what a realtor would actually do. She met with plumbers, gardeners with the city etc. and also recommended the best moving company ever! She took care of EVERYTHING and we couldn’t be more happy. We didn’t have to drive back and forth for hours and hours to get things done! She was there for us and especially for me when my husband fell ill for a few weeks. She was someone that I could trust and was there for me to lean on when I was unsure of things regarding the home. She was in constant contact with us and each time that I called her she was there for any and all questions! We closed escrow two months after our home went on the market and it was the best Christmas gift we could have received! Please, do yourself a favor and call Susan Clark for all of your real estate needs! Allow her to take away some of your worries. You will not regret it ??! Thank you Susan for all of your hard work and dedication and for making this experience pretty painless! Sincerely, Vincent and Belma Zaninovich, Monterey Sellers

We’ve been buying and selling homes for 40 years . . .
Faced with the challenge of selling the family home in an estate sale (from Virginia where we live), we carefully and thoroughly researched online. . . We discovered Susan Clark from Carmel Realty Company to be the premier agent with the most experience and with a truly impressive track record of over 35 years in the business. We met over a Zoom conference call and she “wowed the socks off of us” by her presentation. From start to finish she was professional, enthusiastic, friendly, knowledgeable, compassionate and savvy. . . Susan was the quintessential realtor and EVERYTHING about the sale of our property went smoothly as a result of her expertise. . . The video of the home, including drone shots that was part of the online advertising was spectacular! With Susan Clark managing the sales efforts, the home sold within 1 week for top dollar. When there was a slight glitch in the appraisal, Susan stepped in and negotiated a solution to make everything right. She was the PERFECT real estate agent to sell this home under our accelerated schedule . . . and was always available by text, email or phone to answer any and all questions. . . Susan Clark is the REAL DEAL and she will remain a friend for life with our family.

Over the years I have bought and sold a number of houses in Maryland, California, Texas and Colorado. The real estate agents I have worked with have been knowledgeable and professional. And I have been satisfied with all of them. But Susan Clark stands out for qualities that are above and beyond normal agents.
In her sales pitch Susan Clark explained up front what she would do as our selling agent. Her promises were clear and compelling. Communication was at the top of the list. We would always know what was going on – good news or bad. Her follow up after every open house and every viewing was thorough and valuable. It wasn’t just a “not interested” comment but useful information.
Advertising was also near the top of the list. We appreciated how she used current technology to gain the greatest exposure from websites, professional photography, video complete with drone fly-over, social media to name just a few. The presentation and content were stunning. But advertising was not just passive. It was active, too, with weekly open houses and broker open houses.
Susan Clark’s professional appearance was complimented by her professional manner. She maintained an attitude of confidence and commitment to details that earned the best possible relationship between possible buyers and this seller.
Susan assisted us with decisions we made and guided us through the complex process of setting an asking price, handled offers and counter offers, and advised us during negotiations. After receiving three offers at once and after we accepted one of them (at full price) she urged us to accept a back-up offer which we did. Susan also continued to hold open houses. That led to the buyer removing contingencies without making too many demands for repairs.
To summarize, Susan Clark is the very essence of a great real estate agent whom I highly recommend.
