our agents

Suzanne was the best agent for our first-time home purchase.  She was referred to us from a friend and we would absolutely refer her to others. Suzanne is extremely knowledgeable in the market and made the home buying process a breeze, especially with our tight closing timeline.

Suzanne came highly recommended by our agent in Georgia and we are so glad we took her recommendation.  She was absolutely wonderful to work with and we would recommend her to friends and family. Suzanne is an asset to your team: thorough, positive, accessible, professional, and knowledgeable.  We would work with her again in a heartbeat.

Suzanne sold our home in 2020 negotiating a very high price with multiple offers. The vendor recommendations she gave us to get our home ready to market worked out well. She helped us downsize to our new home in 2021 and it was another positive experience. Suzanne is terrific, effective, and professional.

I have to say that your tireless commitment to this sale and solving the issues helped us to make top dollar at closing. We want you to know that working with professionals like you and Jeff made us feel comfortable even in the face of problems.

Suzanne has an impeccable understanding of the Charlotte area real estate market and provides excellent customer care. Suzanne understands the stress of trying to buy or sell a home, especially in this economy, and works diligently to make it as smooth a process as possible.

Suzanne was determined to get us what we need. She showed professionalism in getting our offer and repair request accepted. All of our needs were met every step of the way and continue to be.

We appreciate all you have done for us. This has been quite a seamless experience. Thank you for your professional & personal advice. We are excited to keep in touch through the years.

Suzanne confidently and calmly handled everything. We have worked with her before and will always work with her in the future because she is excellent at what she does and a wonderful person.

Suzanne is a true professional and a warm caring person whose presence and expertise kept us calm and confident through the entire selling process. Her team is committed to providing the same experience. I would highly recommend you contact Suzanne whether you want to sell or buy
or both.

Suzanne Cowden is the most thorough and effective real estate agent with whom I have ever had the pleasure to interact! She is an excellent communicator and really works hard to make buying a home easy for her clients. I recommend her highly!

Suzanne Cowden, went above and beyond my expectations as a real estate agent selling my home. My first meeting was held at my home for assessment and Suzanne’s recommendations of touch ups that needed to be done to put the house on the market. Within one week we did needed  repairs with contractors. Suzanne then listed the home on the market and sold it in 2 hours. We had a line of buyers that wanted to see my place but Suzanne did an amazing job with her recommendations for touch ups, upgrades and decor and staging ideas it was gone in no time. Her knowledge of the real estate industry is amazing. She was very professional, always responded to my requests and questions right away and made me feel so comfortable with the whole selling process. Thanks Suzanne for the incredible job well done. You will be getting all of my referrals from friends, coworkers etc. who are seeking to buy or sell a home.

Could not recommend Suzanne and her team more highly! She sold our “unsellable” home with multiple offers and was a pleasure to work with. Simply can’t go wrong with her!

Suzanne was able to sell a house co-owned by my ex-wife and I after it had been on and off the market several times over a several-year period. She succeeded when other agents failed, and she did so with true professionalism. This was the second home she had sold for us, and I only wish we had used her for the first house many years ago. She works hard, is thorough in her preparation and execution and communicates in a timely fashion. Simply put, Suzanne is simply the best real-estate agent in Charlotte.

We started working with Suzanne in July 2013, looking for our dream home as we made the move from St. Louis to Charlotte for work. Suzanne and Giancarlo worked diligently with us over the period of almost two years. I tip my hat to the team for having the patience and tenacity to see us over the hurdle. I am sure that by know you have figured out that we are picky buyers. Relocating and staying in an apartment with two teenagers’ is no easy feat; however we did not want to rush into something that we would regret. Over the two year period, there were several occasions where I was extremely frustrated with the market and simply wanted to pull the trigger on the next one. Suzanne’s professionalism, expertise and acumen in her field steered me away from the poor decisions. We have been waiting for this day for a very long time and are finally in a home that we absolutely love and is perfect for our family. We are forever grateful for everything that Suzanne and Giancarlo did for us, in making our dreams come true.

Suzanne was an absolute pleasure to work with. From start to finish she was very responsive, kind, and a constant professional. I look forward to the opportunity to work with her again.

It’s been our sincere pleasure working with Suzanne Cowden at Allen Tate. Suzanne understands her clients very quickly, knows exactly their requirements and works extremely hard to fulfill their demands and make the buying/selling process as smooth as possible. She is very patient with her clients, highly knowledgeable, reachable and always serves with a high degree of professionalism. We strongly recommend Suzanne for your potential real estate needs. She is the right person without any hesitation. Also, her suggestions and recommendations can be completely relied upon. We are so fortunate to know and work with Suzanne Cowden.

Suzanne is an amazing person and wonderful realtor. Last Spring we decided to put our home of 30 years on the market. Suzanne made several suggestions for updates and we followed her directions. Our home went on the market and in 7 days we had an offer from motivated buyers who had been preapproved for a mortgage. How perfect is that! What followed was fit for a mini series on HGTV. The inspection revealed surprises. Suzanne held the offer together. She found qualified contractors who were reasonably priced, professional and efficient. The offer held, the closing went smoothly. We are now enjoying our retirement and a young family are enjoying our former home. She is amazing!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Suzanne Cowden from Allen Tate through my company relocation to Charlotte. Right from beginning, Suzanne was extremely responsive and had great suggestions for homes to view based on what I was looking for. She understood what all factors were important for my wife and myself and gave a tour of the entire area highlighting the factors that were important to us all throughout the process .She was was very professional, courteous and knowledgeable. What is most important, from initial search through escrow closing, Suzanne watched out for our interests and I would gladly recommend Suzanne to anyone in the Charlotte area who might be looking for a real estate agent.

“It is a pleasure to write these comments, Suzanne is such a joy to work with. We couldn’t have asked for more, she exceeded our expectations in all ways. When we began the process of meeting with Suzanne, she came prepared with comparable market information and made suggestions on what needed to be done to our home before listing it. We did all she suggested. The photographer that Suzanne used for the listing pictures did a wonderful job. Suzanne listed our home, and had a thorough, expansive marketing plan. We had many showings the first week and in 10 days it was under contract. Her contract negotiation skills were amazing and kept us calm and heading in the right direction. As the buyers continued to raise questions through out the period of time to closing, Suzanne handled them professionally with amazing aplomb. She clearly knew her real estate law and what was required of all parties. She was constantly in touch with us throughout the process and her extra care assured the closing went smoothly. An exceptionally well done job.

My experience with Suzanne was exceptional! She was supportive during the process, kept me informed frequently when necessary and was interested in making for a smooth transition. She explained steps in the process, helped coordinate resources to facilitate the move. I would and have recommended her to others. I know why she is one of the top realtors in the area. Thank you for a job well done. A happy client!

Suzanne Cowden did a superb job of preparing, marketing and selling my townhouse in Charlotte. She is very resourceful and organized in her approach. My home was sold and closed in under two months of listing. I could not have been happier with the result. Thank you Suzanne for a great real estate experience!

I would have to say that Suzanne is responsible for Allen Tate getting all my business from the referral of insurance to the mortgage. She is a great asset to your company. I am in the automobile business so I know a thing or two about customer service. Like Suzanne, I thrive on making clients
completely satisfied.

Suzanne did a superb job from the initial discussions concerning the sale of our home in April to the closing in October. She was constantly updating us via text message, email, and phone calls concerning the details of our sell. We received good feedback from the various showings. Her positive attitude was evident in every step of the sale process. She reminded us of the property value and that one day someone would fall in love with our home. We were priviligeded to benefit from her excellent expertise in negotiation with the potential buyers to reach a great compromise on the final sale price. We rate her excellent in all phases of the sale process. Thank you Suzanne for making the sale of our home a wonderful experience.

I had the pleasure of working with a young couple along with Suzanne. Her knowledge, demeanor, and caring touch put these first time home buyers at ease and secured a great house at a great price. She is a top notch professional who is committed to her customers.

We enjoyed working with Suzanne Cowden during the process of selling our house. She helped us get access to people who would work on our house to get it ready to put on the market and gave us wise advice as far as what needed to be done to make the house marketable. She was always responsive to our needs, concerns and questions. We would use her again and recommend her.

Simply stated, I would not have gotten through the process of selling my house without Suzanne. She not only handled the numerous legal and industry requirements for listing and selling my house with professionalism but kept me focused and “happy” until the mission was accomplished. Lorie and Jeff were also both valuable resources for me in this process. I am very appreciative of all their expertise and patience. Thanks so much!

I would give Suzanne five stars! She was wonderful to work with. Everything went very smoothly and she always got back to me quickly.

My wife and I relocated to Charlotte from Austin, TX for job related reasons. We gave Suzanne our wish list and she checked every box in finding us our new home. This was all accomplished as COVID-19 was starting to accelerate. Suzanne managed our New home walk through via FaceTime and held the builder accountable for making the house perfect for our move in. All through the process we felt as if we had the right subject matter expert on our side who was fighting for the best home at the best price. My wife and I are very satisfied clients.

We had such a great experience both buying a home & selling one a few years down the line with Suzanne. She’s so knowledgeable and goes the extra mile! She kept us calm & sold our house very quickly, even during a pandemic.

Suzanne did a phenomenal job helping navigate thru the journey of selling our home. She was very engaged, accessible, and a true partner throughout the process. Suzanne managed all the little details that can make a difference in the process and she helped from start to finish. Also, Jeff, Suzanne’s husband is an excellent resource for any work, remodeling (new and old) you need performed on your current house or new one. High quality work and attention to detail. Thanks Jeff.
