I’m originally from England and moved to the US in 1983 when I was hired as a Nursery Nurse for a Diplomatic family in Washington DC. I soon met my husband, Troy, and we were married the following year. With Troy’s job as a military pilot, we moved back and forth between coasts (VA, FL, CA, NC, WA, OR, CA, VA) until his retirement.I began my job as a Realtor in 1986.We have owned and operated two Real Estate brokerages in Virginia before moving to Arizona.We have settled in Northern Arizona and love the weather and recreation opportunities. We both enjoy hiking and fishing throughout the area. Troy and I are both Accredited Buyer Representatives (ABR) which less than 5% of all Realtors hold that important designation.

We were moving from outside the area and were looking for a realtor who was knowledgeable about the area; one who could guide us in our selection process. Susan asked good questions and listened closely to our responses. The biggest concern for us was not knowing what we didn't know so to speak. Susan helped us a lot in this area. We were living outside the area during our selection process. Susan did an excellent job of previewing properties and helping us to narrow our search to only the properties that met our needs. We were able to find and close on a property within the time frame we had originally laid out to Susan and are now living happily in our Sedona home!

Troy and Susan are the best realtors we have ever worked with. They listened to what we said, gave us up-front and honest answers and followed through on every detail. We had a great experience with them and recommend them without hesitation!

The team of Susan, Troy, and Rebecca make the real estate process so easy and smooth--Susan has an instinct that can't be taught, and she makes the entire process seamless. Moving to Sedona is the easiest and one of the most enjoyable things we've ever done--we are so grateful for the Deierling team's help and guidance.

We are so impressed with Susan, Troy and Team Deierling! Their knowledge of the local market, their hard work in representing our interests, and their willingness to go above and beyond the call of duty were more than we could have imagined. We are very, very satisfied clients!

My husband Mike and I were inspired to move to the Cottonwood/Sedona area, however had challenges with timing in selling our home in California and establishing work in the area. Both Troy and Susan met with us to see homes. We so appreciated their professional, yet warm and friendly manner. We also were very impressed with the time and energy spent helping us find the ideal home in one weekend! We were so fortunate and amazed at how smoothly the whole process unfolded and know that the Deierlings expertise and dedication were significantly to credit! We highly recommend Susan and Troy to anyone seeking a wonderful experience in buying a home in the Sedona/Cottonwood areas. Gratefully, Mike & Catalina :)

My wife and I were looking for a vacation home in Sedona and came across Susan and Troy on a realtor google search. We are sure glad we did because they have been the most caring professional people we have ever dealt with. They are very low pressure and very informative of what the area offers. They were also extremely helpful in scheduling and monitoring the contractors to complete the prepurchase inspection repairs and painting for us since we live in Minnesota. They started out as our realtors and through the process became our friends.

We have worked with numerous realtors over the years, in several different cities in both Canada and the US, and would rate Susan in the top 10% (tied with one other for the first place). We were in Sedona for only a week and she was extremely attentive to our desire to look at a number of properties on a tight time frame. The negotiation took some time after we left and she pushed very hard to get the property for an affordable price. We always felt that she had our best interest in mind and was not just working for a quick commission. In fact we got the property for a bit less than we were willing to pay chiefly due to her negotiating skills. We would use her again in a minute and definitely recommend her to others.

Susan and her husband Troy were incredible from start to finish in helping us research, select and purchase our Sedona home, which took over a year for us to find the one that met all our needs. Over the top helpful in every way and over and above the call of duty, considering we went through the whole process from the other side of the country! Susan and Troy were our eyes and ears, totally reliable and so sweet and friendly, guiding us and giving us the confidence at every step of the way – with enduring patience and fortitude. Simply put, they are the best in the area!

Susan spent so much time with us - unlike some others we had met in the realty field. She was determined to find what we wanted in a home, and really understood our needs. Buying a home is AZ was scary, since we are from New England, but Susan and Troy opened their home to us, and made us feel like family.

Susan sold us our home when moved to Cottonwood from Indiana and she did a great job with that. Susan and Troy sold the home for us when I took a new job half way across the country. She was able to sell it quickly enough for us to buy a home at my new job location. We are very happy with what she's done for us as both a buyer and a seller.

Susan and Troy did a great job of finding us our home in Cottonwood. We spent two days together and I feel I saw everything that was close to what I wanted in a home. They have the local knowledge to help us decide where in the Verde Valley we wanted to be.
Awesome job guys!

Susan should be your Realtor. She meticulously led us through our journey to realize the magic that is Sedona and Northern Arizona and to understand the Sedona housing market from 2011-2013. With her close guidance we found the perfect home and purchased it in July 2013. She is personable, knowledgable, caring, a great listener and always here for her customers. In our case we have become close friends and neighbors. Jackpot!!

We had been considering a move to Arizona for a few years. The first realtor we worked with several years ago was very pushy, was trying to force us into a quick decision about purchasing in the area and just made us feel uncomfortable. Fast forward 18 months. We love the area and wanted to give another house hunt a try. Finding Susan was luck on our side. Susan is very patient, taking her time giving us area information and answering the many questions we had. The week we were there Susan took us to view a variety of homes so we would get an idea of what we wanted - there are many styles and price levels to consider. A couple months after we got home Susan helped us purchase an Arizona home for our future from our current Illinois home. Since we were going to rent the home for a couple years prior to our permanent move, I needed to get some work done on the home. Susan and Troy allowed me to send my work supplies ahead to them and once there I borrowed a ladder and vacuums from them. Their website has a lot of information. I used a number of recommend service contractors. All worked out great. I thank them for their patience and understanding of purchasing a home from 1700 miles away.

Troy and Susan are the BEST realtors in Sedona. We have purchased two homes and sold one home with their expert assistance. We would highly recommend them. Thank you.

We recently moved to Northern Arizona and consider ourselves to be very lucky to have met Susan. She helped us with our relocation, purchasing of a new home and an income property. Susan exceeded our expectation during every phase of our move, purchases and settling in. Her local knowledge combined with her interpretation of what we were looking for helped us to find the perfect home for us. She was a consummate professional through the entire process and we feel like we got a great deal! Also we continue to use her website as a resource for finding local tradesman, utilities information and any other resource a homeowner needs. We look forward to using Susan again when its time to upgrade or buy another investment property.
