Thank you for your message. I will be in touch with you shortly.

I'll tell you the truth. Even if it means telling you not to buy the house.

People often ask why they should work with me. The answer is simple: I'll tell you the truth, even when it's not what you expected to hear. Whether you're buying, selling, downsizing, or relocating, my job isn't to tell you what you want to hear. It's to help you make the best decision for your situation.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

She went above and beyond to help me. She took care of getting items fixed that didn’t pass inspection. Concerned, always, about cost to me. She helped get rid of items left there. Always available whenever I called and needed her. The best realtor I have ever worked with. Thank you, Sue.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

I've never met with Sue, although I owe her lunch or flowers or something. We were exchanging emails as I was searching desperately for a seasonal rental in The Meadows for the 2024 - 2025 months. She explained she had nothing that fit the needs I had described, and I thought we'd reached a dead end. I searched without success. Sometime later, I got an email or a call from Sue, pointing me to a rental th...

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

We met Sue by just picking someone to view a house with. She was cheerful, helpful, and friendly. Months later, we called her back and seriously started looking. She was awesome and patient. After leaving still not sure, Sue calls, walks us through via FaceTime, and a few hours later, we were on our way to ownership. She knew what we were looking for and found it! She’s been with us every step of the way...

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

Sue stuck with us on our extensive beach home search. We ran into every obstacle possible on our condo adventure, but we were able to find a perfect spot for our family. Thank you for your persistence in helping us find our place in paradise!

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

We chose Sue to help us find a place to buy in Florida, and we are so glad we did. She provided a wealth of knowledge and was super quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had during the purchasing process. Sue kept us on track and took care of the details even after we returned north. It was great to have someone familiar with the local area on our team for the purchase. We're happy to say the ...

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

Sue was truly exceptional! Right away, I knew she was a kind and honest realtor. She had an impressive amount of knowledge to share with a first-time homebuyer. Sue went above and beyond to get me into a home in less than a month. On top of that, I had an odd schedule working as a night shift nurse, so I was not usually available during the daytime. But, Sue being Sue, practically did the whole home-buyi...

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

We highly recommend Sue Carroll at Beyond Realty. After our first meeting with Sue, she put our minds at ease. She walked us through the process and kept everything on schedule in a professional and courteous manner. We appreciated her suggestions for staging the home and for her compassion while working with us. From signing to closing, her communication was outstanding. The company should be called “Ab...

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

Sue facilitated my purchase of a vacation home/investment in the Bradenton area in October 2021. I was out of state, and she was instrumental in keeping me engaged and relevant in the market. While being in the area briefly, she personally drove me to 4-5 different complexes that fit the bill for me so I could understand the potential in person. Then came months of videos, listings, and patience. I have ...

— Monica M.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

Sue was fantastic, she helped me sell my house in no time and was very professional from start to finish. She helped me fix necessary things in my house and was able to close on my property without me even being there, since I’m from NY. I highly recommend her and will be using her again for my future properties.
