This is the view from the park’s entrance on Cannon Street. It captures the Cannon Centre on the left, the pond and gazebo that gives it a country club appearance.

“I’ve know Susan for over (8) years and worked with her directly from 2002 until 2006. During the years, Susan’s ability to re-invent herself has always amazed me. As a former teacher, she is more than equipped in style and communication ability. To compliment those rare qualities, and to grant all a fair warning, she is graciously mannered which makes refusing her – near to impossible! To top it off – her attitude and business philosophy is resilient and you will not waiver her positive fortitude.

Most recently, I’ve keenly watched her eagerly embrace the newer, more aggressive real estate ideals of success as she confidently reached up to the clouds and continued right down the techie and social highways, twittering and blogging her way to success. I would say, without a doubt, Susan Burch is a one-of-a-kind, lady of grace, charm, manners, tenacity and a true ‘Renaissance’ spirit you’ll not likely find anywhere – much less selling you a home. Her mantra is truer than none – she will help you find a home you can sincerely claim you can “Love Where You Live!” All the best my colleague and admirable one…you amaze me!”
