Suzanne Slate

“Looking to find our forever home, we had become increasingly frustrated talking to realtors who really didn't understand what we were looking for, or said they would help us and then we never heard back from them. Even worse, they would send us emails with listings that didn't even come close to what we requested. But that changed when we met Suzanne Slate. We didn't get a long list of homes that didn't fit our needs or a lot of nonsense about what they think we would like in a home. Suzanne is warm and compassionate. She listened to us, kept in contact, and took a personal interest in helping us find a home that we would love. She was a true professional and you could tell that she loves making people happy. Suzanne went above and beyond our expectations and it became more of a joy looking at homes rather than a tedious chore. To put it simply, if you're looking to find your happy place, call Suzanne - - you'll be glad you did!”

“Suzanne Slate of Echo Properties was assigned the task of selling our property in the Palm Beach Gardens, Florida community of Steeplechase. Our two prior realtors, while highly competent, were unable to generate an offer nor interest in our property. To begin, Suzanne and her team at Echo implemented a solid, comprehensive sales marketing approach relating to our property.Surprisingly, Suzanne oversaw each marketing approach with unique insight to create buyer interest in our residence. Second, Suzanne politely conveyed to us subtle, non-obvious recommendations to facilitate improvement within the residence. Within months of our listing, Hurricane Irma visited our area. Unashamed, Suzanne worked tirelessly showing our home, at all hours, to include numerous open houses. Soon, Suzanne secured an offer and additional showings, upon proper notice, were too numerous to count. Impressively, Suzanne, not another realtor from or within her team, attended each showing. Feedback, positive, neutral, or negative, was shared with us so we were aware sooner than later what, if any, price adjustments or property showing recommendations were necessary. Next, unforeseen circumstances created additional barriers to the sale of our home. Suzanne, instead of quitting or becoming frustrated, “shifted” into a problem-solving speed dial realtor. Suzanne had an answer, not excuse, for each hurdle we had to overcome to implement the sale of our home of fifteen years. Many real estate sensitive issues developed that Suzanne guided us through in a concise, calm yet no-nonsense fashion that dispelled anxious moments that existed during our listing, due to the actions of other realtors or interested prospects. In the end, we now are proceeding to a real estate closing that would not have occurred without Suzanne as our realtor.Beyond her unmatched expertise, Suzanne possesses a client first approach that allows her to respond to weekend, evening, Holiday, or vacation inquiries from her clients. To be clear, the only time Suzanne was not at a house showing or open house, was when she was out of state on vacation. In each instance, without fail, Suzanne, while out of state, provided instant feedback on each showing and open house. In short, Suzanne was uninterested in discussing her or her team’s needs. Instead, Suzanne and Echo were relentless in their desire to assist their clients without regard to the energy, time, or expense affiliated with this endeavor from their end. Without reservation, if you wish a responsive, intellectual, humble, attentive, compassionate, and professional realtor, choose Suzanne and her team at Echo Properties. If not, hope you can locate someone somewhere who might equal Suzanne’s business real estate acumen, passion, energy, and even-keeled approach to educating and serving your real estate needs. We endorse Suzanne Slate and Echo Properties as the “go-to” Northern Palm Beach County realtor(s). ”

“In all career fields, there are only a small number of people that truly stand out. Suzanne Slate is one of those individuals. She is far more than a seasoned real estate salesperson. Suzanne is an expert in the area of interior/exterior decoration. She knows the market and what buyers are looking for. Suzanne is a coach. She led us through a process of continuous improvement and remained engaged to the end. Suzanne has an invaluable list of service providers that are reliable and quick to respond. She managed all of the services we needed. Suzanne will go above and beyond the expectations of a realtor. She is hands-on, has an exceptional knowledge of the market and will personally attend to anything you need. My recommendation, do exactly what she says.”

“We want to express our appreciation for the professionalism that we found in working with Suzanne Slate this spring in finding us our forever winter home! At the end of our vacation in the area, we decided it was the right time to look for a permanent place for ourselves in Juno Beach. We contacted Suzanne (who had been recommended to us by friends) one evening and the next day, our last day in town, she had several places for us to look at. Suzanne was knowledgeable, pleasant, and, in a very short period of time, was able to find homes that met our criteria. We did not waste time on places too large or small, or over budget. Rather, she listened to us and found us the perfect listings to look at. By the end of that day, we had put in an offer on one of the homes and closed within a couple of weeks. There are many realtors. Some are weekend hobbyists and do not really know the markets, the histories of specific listings, or information about specific buildings that buyers should and needs to know. Suzanne is the opposite. She has been in the business for a number of years and her experience shows. Even after we closed on the home, she has continued to assist us at the property and continues to take an interest in us as clients and friends. We cannot give a higher recommendation about her as she is a rare real estate professional. ”

“David and I would like to personally thank you for your outstanding assistance in selling our Steeplechase Palm Beach Gardens investment/rental home. Over the years we have bought and sold multiple home in many states and never found an agent as dedicated to the job as you. By any measure you are "hands down" the most outstanding real estate broker we have ever worked with. You demonstrate professionalism, honesty and integrity that are truly "above and beyond." Unlike many of your contemporaries you communicated frequently and effectively to us, your clients, and with other participants. From the interview when we first met, it was obvious that you would be helpful, comfortable to work with and were very knowledgeable about the real estate market and how to sell a home. Compared to another interview with a competitor realtor, your approach reduced our anxiety while the other increased it. Your idea about pre-listing before we did some preparation led to a waiting list to see the house. It also led to other fabulous consequences such as record visits on listing day, and multiple full price offers. As a result, the house sold in a very timely manner. From helping us to get the home ready to list, establish a realistic selling price, working through on the inspections and assisting in work details, your service was extraordinary. You always kept us in the loop and were with us every step of the way in a totally professional manner from its inception to its conclusion. Our home selling journey wasn’t exactly straight forward with the COVID 19 pandemic as well as our Homeowners Associations new property manager and strict never before practiced rules enforcement. I am not sure we would have completed the sale without you by our side. Your recommended service people did needed work with a quick turn around and at an affordable price, and you even pitched in to help get the job done. Tradespeople are very busy in our area now and it normally takes us weeks for them to schedule and get a job done. The jobs were done right and on time. Thank you for your hard work and diligence along the way. We have been in customer interfacing businesses for over 50 years and have experienced all levels of customer service. You were on top of every detail and made what could have been a difficult experience painless and seamless. You are a true professional who sets your clients interests and concerns as a top priority. You surely must realize the extent of your efforts. We just did not want you to think it passed by us unnoticed. For all this and more we are truly grateful and want to repeat "Thank You!" ”
