Like finding the perfect
home, selecting a Realtor you can trust requires some research. If you are like most people, your home is one of the most significant financial investments you'll ever make. Just as you wouldn't randomly select your attorney or accountant, you should not take the selection of your Realtor lightly. Real estate is my full-time career, not just a sideline! I take my work seriously, and have committed myself to continuing my education
and professional development in the real estate industry. I stay abreast
of the latest legal, financial and technological issues in real estate
SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO! My skills and experience have helped numerous Central
Kentuckians navigate the real estate market. I value the loyalty and trust
these individuals and families have shown me, and I will work hard to
earn yours! Click here to view comments from clients!

| Some
comments I've received from clients... |
"From personal experience, extending over 30 years of purchasing and selling real estate, the "sell side" realtor performance has ALWAYS tended to be a negative experience. Conversely, the "buy side" (easier objective?) tends to be a more positive experience. Therefore, the realtor that can please his SELLER tends to be more of a rarity than the one that can please his buyer. For the first time in 30 + years, I can honestly say that Susie Rodes is such a "seller" realtor. Susie is not only an extremely shrewd representative for the seller, but just as importantly, a CONCIENTIOUS representative. This, from my experience, is the REAL difference of Susie Rodes from other "sell side" realtors." Miller A. Welch, Jr. |

I'm just glad you were patient in helping us find that perfect home.
I also want to thank you for the Longenberger basket with all the

the money......" Lance & Audrey Butler |

"Want
to thank you so much for all that you have done for us and for all

case we haven't told you lately, we think you're wonderful! Thank
you so much for helping to welcome us to Lexington. Finding
our house that we love so much is a bonus. Finding such a wonderful
new friend is the real reason we are going to love it here. You have
gone way out of your way to make our transition actually enjoyable.
Even when things got screwy at closing, you were on top of
everything. I had no worries. I knew you would protect us. Thanks
again, you're a blessing."

People constantly asked me if it was stressful and I had to say it really wasn't, almost entirely due to the fact that I had such a great agent! I was really impressed with how nice your were to deal with, how flexible, efficient and quick you were with every aspect of the process, and also how valuable all your advice was."
