About Susan DeFord

Real Estate Salesperson Business is all about relationships, and relationships are all about trust. It is my goal to take the time to build a strong, trusting relationship with every client. Before embarking on my real estate career, I owned a dog walking and dog training business in Brooklyn for 15 years. My employees and I took care of more than a hundred pets a day as if they were our own. Through dog training I was able to help improve the lives of many dogs and their people. I valued relationships over profit, and I became one of the most respected and trusted people in the local community. After several years of weekending in the Hudson Valley and Catskill regions, my husband and I fell in love with the natural beauty of the mountains and streams, artist communities, culture, and culinary excellence of the area. We decided to take a leap of faith and move our lives and livelihoods upstate. During the process of selling my home in Brooklyn and buying a wonderful home on seven acres in Catskill, I became fascinated with real estate. I am thrilled to be a part of the Coldwell Banker Village Green Realty team. We put our emphasis on personal attention and an extremely sophisticated web and social media presence. I hope that you will get to know me and my work ethic, humor, creativity, and resourcefulness and that together we can work to find your perfect home and have some fun doing it. I look forward to being of service.

Susie was our buyer's agent as my husband and I were relocating from the city to upstate NY. We greatly appreciated Susie's dedication to showing us homes within our budget during a crazy time in the market (COVID) where supplies were limited and prices were skyrocketing. Susie is very responsive, gave fantastic recommendations for other vendors and answered the many questions we had as first time home buyers. She also helped keep the ball rolling once we were in the contract phase so that we were able to close within 2 months of putting our offer in. We would love to work with Susie again and can't recommend her enough!

Susie was an incredible partner through the process of finding our dream vacation home in the Hudson Valley / Catskills. She has a deep understanding of the area. She listened to what we wanted, found great properties to show us, and provided sound and helpful advice. Most importantly, she never pressured us.Susie stuck with us through a few months of negotiations with the sellers, and ultimately helped us make a deal that both parties were happy with. And her attention to detail and follow through ensured we closed on the house incredibly quickly, allowing us to enjoy the end of the summer in our new home.We cannot say enough great things about Susie, or about Richard Vizzini and the Wolf of Woodstock team!

Susie, Susie, Susie, where do I begin? We closed on a house in Phoenicia recently and I am so grateful we had Susie as our agent. Our price range was pretty aEURoehotaEUR? and others had told us we would have to go much further out unless we bought a fixer upper or purchased something in a flood zone. When I spoke to Susie, she assured us we would find a house but it just may take some time. She put ZERO pressure on us but at certain points was transparent about the importance of quick responses where needed, but all was done in a mellow way that made us feel like she wasnt just in this for herself and that she really cared. We were able to make smart decisions because we were able to actually stop and think. Susie was also really trustworthy and guided us through every step of the process. She even gave us a time table and real estate basics walk through presentation which introduced us to her and also to this process. We felt really comfortable even buying during this time of the pandemic and low inventory because Susie kept reminding us she would find us a house. She helped us negotiate and we feel we paid a very fair price for our home thanks to Susie. I cant recommend her enough. A gem realtor and I am recommending her to all our friends.

Susie made finding and buying my first house a fun experience, even with the wrench of the pandemic thrown in! She's a great communicator and made sure all my questions were answered. I'll definitely recommend her to any friends looking upstate.

I've done quite a few real estate transactions in my life and met plenty of brokers... and working with Susie was the best experience I've had and easily the most comfortable I've felt with any. In my view, Susie is thoughtful, highly knowledgeable, accessible, exceedingly fair and clear-minded, and has a sense of calm about her that couldn't be further from the bombast and often off-putting aggressiveness of the stereotypically pushy real estate 'deal maker'.... Rather, Susie approaches the task with confidence and refreshing humility, reserving her more forceful moments for when it really matters and her client's best interests are on the line. To that end, Susie clearly views her role as having only one goal - to do the best she can to patiently and expertly guide her clients through the often emotional and arduous process of buying a home... and in doing so, striving to ultimately achieve an optimal result that brings them happiness. In short, Susie is trustworthy, real, and awesome. I could not recommend her more highly.
