"Why is Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage DFW a great place to be? It's not only the strength of the company, neither the powerful name brand recognition, neither being consistently ranked number #1 in Number of Sales and #1 in Sales Volume by Real Trends 500 publication.
Rather,
it is good people and quality relationships formed within your choice of branch office and across the organization.

"In 2011, I met Sue Barrett over Thanksgiving weekend as my assigned Realtor through my husband’s relocation company which was bringing us to Texas. She was prompt, professional, and attentive. I immediately trusted her and was impressed with her expertise and customer care. Just two years later, after obtaining my license in Real Estate, I began interviewing at a number of agencies, including Coldwell Banker. Coincidentally, she was going to become the Branch Manager just shortly after my plans to sign with an agency. My decision to join her office was completely due to my positive experience with Sue. She has a natural ability to nurture and empower agents to become successful and makes herself available at all times to answer questions and address important issues. In addition, Sue is innovative and persistent when educating agents and bringing new resources to the agency such as New Construction Website Linking, CB Intouch, and Agent Branding. I have never questioned my decision!"

"Having worked with Sue Barrett as a fellow agent for many years, I have found her to be on “top of her game”. She has been a top producing agent with Coldwell Banker for many years, knowledgeable of all the areas she represented, has an expansive understating of the Real Estate industry. In addition Sue is very personable, gets along well with fellow agents, very ethical and makes herself available to attend educational meetings.
For the past three and one half years, I have had the experience and pleasure of working with Sue as my manager of the Southlake office. Because of her previous experience as a top producing agent she brings a wealth of knowledge and experience. I am impressed with the way she relates with all of her agents, whether they are a very beginning agent or one that has been in the business for a long time. Through office meetings and educational programs she continues to give all of her agents opportunities to grow in the Real Estate industry. "

"Leaving my job and becoming a Realtor was an easy decision for me to make. Which brokerage and which office to go to, however, was agonizing. I met with Sue before even leaving my company and immediately had a high level of confidence in the level of experience, knowledge and support she would offer me as a new agent, and after meeting with other brokers as was my due diligence, it was a no brainer to go to Sue’s office. In the time I’ve been affiliated with CB and Sue’s been my broker, she has been very responsive, and I can draw from her years of high production and success to handle my own transactions better and more wisely even my first time around. She is just a wealth of information herself, but has also time & again and without hesitation pointed me to more direct sources of information, demonstrating she wants her agents to have the best guidance no matter where it comes from.
I would strongly recommend any agent seeking a broker/office/sponsor to meet with Sue Barrett"

" It has been such a gift for me to work with my outstanding office manager, Sue Barrett! She navigates the winding road of real estate with wisdom, stemming from years of experience as a top agent, compassion for others with different strengths/weakness and a high level of professionalism which permeates the entire office.
Although I now have years of experience as an agent in this office, not a month goes by when I don’t benefit from Sue’s wise counsel. She, not only shares advice on how to tackle a particularly difficult transaction, but also encourages me as I strive to expand and grow my business. Sue is constantly providing opportunities to continue my education so as to garner a reputation as being a highly qualified and intelligent agent.
In conclusion, I think there are two attributes most closely associated with Sue Barrett and those two characteristics are her incredible work ethic combined with her kind heart. You cannot find a better role model for our office!"

"Sue is a fantastic leader in our office. Her previous experience as a DFW top producing agent gives her the ability to understand her agents situations and think "outside the box" when it comes to managing our office. Sue is someone I look up to as not only a manager but as a true mentor in the real estate business. "
-Tommy Pistana, Colleague
"Sue Barrett is a dedicated, and very capable manager who deftly utilizes her broad real estate sales experience to the betterment of her sales associates. If you need her to "get in the trenches" with you due to circumstance, IN.. she dives right away offering sage counsel at every turn. I don't know the resume of every office manager employed in the CBDFW organization, but I must think that Sue Barrett's fantastic (very high producing) sales record over decades as an associate has to uniquely qualify her to lead her office. Simply put, there isn't much that she hasn't seen-experienced first-hand, and she's wise enough use that savvy to guide/ support/ prod her sales staff as each opportunity unfolds.
