-Sandy H., Walnut Creek – Sale
“We just moved into our new home, thanks to Susan! She patiently showed us homes until we found one we wanted, and then she was with us every step of the way until it closed. Her experience and knowledge made it happen. Deciding to buy a home is stressful, and we appreciated her professionalism, honesty, and cheerful energy. While we hope to never move again, she’s the one we’d call.”
-Karen T., Concord – Purchase
“Susan recently helped us sell our home. This was a wonderful experience, and she was by far the best real estate agent I have worked with to sell a home. (This was home sale #7!)….I am happy to report that the sale went better than expected, Susan’s advice and counsel throughout was priceless, she was absolutely the best!
You should interview several real estate agents, and Susan is a “must interview” for your transaction, we think she was awesome!
Debbie P., Northgate Walnut Creek – Sale
“Susan has the energy you might be looking for! Yes, you want an agent who is straightforward, knowledgeable, honest, and professional, but you also want to get it sold! Susan didn’t waste time! She got our property on the market quickly, with all the advertising and promotions ready to go.”
-Julie B., Rossmoor – Sale
“Susan Kingsley was by far the most professional realtor we interviewed, but also the most approachable and sincere. I am convinced that selecting her to represent us in the sale of our home is why we achieved the best possible outcome. She had all the resources and connections of a large agency at her disposal, but we never got lost in the corporate shuffle. We always felt valued and respected thanks to her personal attention….
You should do your homework and meet realtors in person to find the right fit for you, but Susan should be at the top of your list.
-Andrew T., Walnut Creek – Sale
“I knew that Susan was the agent for the sale of our home long before I even knew that it would actually be on the market…. From the moment she entered our home, her expertise with real estate had me comfortable with the idea of giving her the challenge of selling the house. She did not disappoint me in any area of the selling process. Susan always had our best interest in mind and did everything to help us through the lengthy ordeal of selling a home. I highly recommend Susan Kingsley to be your real estate agent.”
-Janice K., Walnut Creek – Sale
“I can not say enough great things about Susan! Susan is responsive, knowledgeable, warm and makes you feel like family. She understands how stressful purchasing a home can be and she is by your side the entire time. She understands the market and will give you her honest opinion. Susan is well connected in in the industry and is highly respected. She has great contacts and every issue (if there is one) has a solution. We have used Susan 5 times, for purchasing and selling homes combined. Susan helped us purchase our dream home, and when our offer was accepted she was as emotional as we were. I would highly recommend Susan and her team.”

Susan was an invaluable agent; patient, timely, appropriate, kind, accurate, pro-active, and honest. She was the third, or perhaps fourth, agent solicited over a 2-year period in order to secure a condo within budget constraints and with accommodations for mobility and community. Susan is knowledgeable, an astute listener, and able to shift levels of understanding for clear informative communication with either a complete novice first-time buyer or an experienced 8th-home buyer… and she’s incredibly nice throughout the process.
Thony R., Rossmoor Walnut Creek – Purchase
“Just a note to thank you for providing such excellent service. This being my first California real estate transaction, it seemed daunting at times. However, in the end, it turned out to be my most enjoyable purchase so far. You are one of the most competent and professional individuals I have met, and your optimism is very refreshing to see. You never missed an appointment, were always on time, and did everything you said you would do and then some. I have no doubt that when you presented my offer to the buyer, he was impressed by your energy and enthusiasm, and this helped in his decision to accept.
Again, thank you. I love my new home, and hope to have a long and happy residence here.”
-Norm G., Walnut Creek
“Susan was very professional. She knows real estate inside and out and she worked with us every step of the way to insure that my mother-in-law’s home purchase in Rossmoor went smoothly. She even took us out house hunting on Easter Sunday, which is over and above what any realtor should be doing.
We will definitely use Susan again on any future real estate transaction, as she is a pleasure to work with!”
-Robyn & Kipp L.
“With the help of Susan Kingsley of Empire Realty, I recently sold my 2-bedroom condominium in Rossmoor. Everything was handled expediently and professionally, ensuring me a speedy sale at an attractive price.
Susan managed all aspects of the transaction. She had the Pinnacle Ridge property beautifully painted and staged to place it in the best possible light. Since I had already moved out of state, she took care of all the details. We handled all the transactions by phone, email and fax. It was very easy.
I very much appreciate all she did for me and would recommend her professional services to anyone interested in buying or selling a property in Rossmoor.”
-Celine Reng. Rossmoor/Walnut Creek

“I just wanted to let you know how much my whole family appreciated your professional work and kind demeanor in helping us with the sale of Veronica’s condo. You really made the whole experience as painless as you could. You were easy to talk to and always made sure we understood what was going on. That really helps – to trust the person you deal with, and our trust was not unfounded as the speed of the offers and sale show.
Just as important as the sale, was the feeling of retaining a friendship with you. We wish you every happiness and much more success. Don’t change, you’re a wonderful realtor and friend. Hope to see you again soon.
-Anna M. Treadwell & Family, Oakland, CA
“Susan Kingsley is a credit to her company. I will try to make it short, but I could go on for pages about my positive and enjoyable experience with Susan who assisted me in locating, purchasing and moving into a condo in Rossmoor.
Since I was an out-of-town buyer and unable to visit Rossmoor during this process, Susan was diligent and persistent in exploring resources that would be the most suitable for me, and for my cat, as well as researching and informing me about the market. This was at a time when the market was moving very quickly, and there were many competing offers for condos.
Susan was thorough and conscientious and most importantly honest in our dealings. This included the voluminous paper work, which she patiently and thoroughly explained each step of the process…
Knowledgeable, willing, cheerful and enthusiastic make Susan a true professional in the business. How fortunate I was to have Susan as my Realtor.”
-Peggy York, Rossmoor Resident
“We had the pleasure of meeting Susan Kingsley late last year. In January of this year we connected with her to discuss possibly listing our home in Walnut Creek for sale. We met with her and were very impressed with her knowledge of the area, the caliber of her research on our behalf, the attitude she exuded, and the marketing plan that she proposed for our home…… During the staging process Susan was at our home almost daily to be sure that everything was being handled properly. This was way beyond the service that we might have expected from just any Realtor. ..… During the following weeks she was vigilant about being present for all the inspections the buyers requested, and she made sure that all of the paperwork was completed in a timely manner. Whenever we had a question or concern she was readily available to respond to them…..We highly recommend Susan Kingsley to anyone considering entering into a real estate transaction.”
-Stephen & Cathey Goodman, Northgate/Walnut Creek, CA
“Susan Kingsley referred me to an agent in my city. The local agent was friendly, knowledgeable, and only showed me homes that suited my needs in the neighborhoods that met my criteria. Within two weeks, I had an offer accepted on the perfect house for me.
Susan was instrumental in connecting me with someone who knew my city and listened to what I was looking for in my price range. It was a very pleasant and enjoyable experience and I will be forever grateful to Susan for her help in finding my new home.”
-Deanne McCullough, Elk Grove, CA
