Brown Harris Stevens

Born and raised in the South, I moved to NYC after an 18-year career as gallerist in my hometown of New Orleans. In the last two decades, I’ve sold more than $100M of Manhattan residential real estate, primarily on the Upper West Side.

What makes me stand out from the crowd? Those who have had experience with my commitment to providing exemplary service say it best!

See below for Suzanne’s recent testimonials.

“The wonderful Suzanne has been my broker for several transactions over 20 years. I'm grateful to have found her as frankly, as there are no shortcuts around the unique pressure and process when buying in NYC. Suzanne is beyond patient when juggling multiple appointments or requested to look at yet another place or Open House. Then, her calm demeanor and experience is exactly on time when going through the board package process. She is just a very nice person and really listens. I can without question recommend her services and I absolutely love my new apartment. Thanks Suzanne!”

“We can’t say enough about Suzanne's professionalism and expertise. After researching agents, reviews and reading her comments in a New York Times article, we were impressed with her straightforward, realistic approach and decided to contact her. The nearly immediate response to the initial email was reassuring and all subsequent communications were equally prompt. She is an excellent listener and insightful questioner and was able to very quickly ascertain our interests and intent. She guided us through every step making it as streamlined and efficient as possible. On a personal level, Suzanne was reassuringly confident in her knowledge, charming, tactful and respectful to all seller’s agents, quickly gaining our respect and trust. We feel fortunate to have had such a hard- working, dedicated professional working with us for our purchase and have been completely satisfied with the entire endeavor.” - Gizell L.

"She is the best. No pressure. Helped us find an apartment on the Upper Westside and then sell it and buy another one on Central Park West. She is extremely knowledgeable of the area and a pleasure to work with." - Kathleen F.

"Suzanne has been an ideal broker among others with whom I have worked. She is always very responsive and quickly addresses any questions or concerns I may have. She has excellent problem solving abilities and is extremely patient. A consummate professional, Suzanne weighs all potential outcomes of a real estate transaction and develops the best possible solution. Her professional ethics, her clarity and above all, her kindness are standouts in the superb service she provides. I would not hesitate to retain her services again and again." - Maria Luisa G.

"When I decided to buy an apartment in NYC, I went on my own and looked at many places. I was not impressed with the brokers who just wanted to show up at the open house. When I met Suzanne she asked intelligent questions about what I wanted and went to work. In just a few days she showed me my dream home! I had several challenges in putting together my financials (I work for a non-profit so my income is low) but she carefully guided me over every hurdle. I highly recommend Suzanne; she is thoughtful, hard-working, and a wonderfully kind person to know!” - Jannette P.

"As a first time home buyer, I was very lucky to have Suzanne as my broker. Buying a home was a very positive experience and I ended up finding the perfect apartment. What I especially liked about Suzanne was that she listened to my criteria for an apartment, worked diligently to find suitable listings and was always available to answer my questions or show me those I was interested in seeing. She guided me through the entire process making it seem simple instead of the momentous task I had imagined it to be. Even if you are not a first time home buyer, Suzanne would be an asset as your broker because she is so reliable.” - Diana D.

"I just wanted to thank you for the great job you did in finding me this fabulous apartment. Unlike other brokers I have dealt with in the past, I really appreciate the fact that you didn't pressure me into purchasing "just anything". You did valuable background work and were familiar with most all of the buildings in my target area. Most important of all, you didn't waste my time by showing me apartments that were too small or too dark or didn't have the desired number of bedrooms or baths. I really feel that you acted as a friend, especially during all those days we spent apartment hunting. If I ever decide to move again, you'll be the first call I'll make. As you know, I have already spoken glowingly about you to my friends, some of whom you now have as clients.” - Lisa A.

"Suzanne got us to the right place at the right time, and went well beyond the normal expectations to insure that the deal closed. We love our place and are not thinking of moving again any time soon, but would absolutely call Suzanne to handle our sale and purchase should the need arise." - Robert B. & Jean Patrice G.

"Suzanne Zinsel handled the purchase of my coop two and a half years ago. I found her to be persistent and efficient, not letting the ball drop during the arduous process. She kept in constant touch and had the ability to minimize the anxiety and nerve-racking nature of buying and selling two coops simultaneously. I would recommend her highly.” - Dr. Constance W.

"Suzanne handled my first New York real estate purchase about three years ago. Although the process of buying during a hot market was challenging, Suzanne managed it with ease. She was attentive, persistent, responsive and patient. With her help, I found a great apartment in a fantastic neighborhood. I have recommended her to many friends, and will continue to do so” - Sophie S. K.
