About Sue

Living in the Asheville area for over 30 years, I have seen this area slowly transform and blossom into what it is today. Now I cannot imagine living anywhere else!

I am a graduate of UNC-Asheville, former elementary school teacher, and a mom to two grown children. I currently reside with my furry companions -- all adopted from local rescue organizations. In addition to the traditional house-pets, I have created an animal sanctuary for abused, neglected and/or unwanted farm animals. I currently provide a forever home to 10 goats and 3 standard donkeys. My diverse employment background and undeniable love of the outdoors has helped me explore and learn more about amazing and beautiful WNC. 

I approach everything in life with integrity, curiosity and enthusiasm. These traits serve me well as a Realtor representing both residential Buyers and Sellers. I will take you through every step of your real estate transaction and will represent you in a manner I would expect if I were the client. Please call without obligation. I am ready to go to work for you!

Testimonials

"Sue goes above and beyond to make sure her clients are well taken care of throughout The search process, the negotiations, and everything leading up to closing. Whether you are a buyer or a seller.

"In this challenging real estate market, it is critical to have the right realtor working on your side. Sue Francisco proved to be that person. There was never any question that she was devoted to our best interest in finding the right property for us. As we were looking for properties “sight unseen” from overseas, it was particularly crucial to have someone trustworthy on the ground. Sue was the right choice." - Eric L.

"I am in awe of your agent Sue Francisco. She has gone above and beyond since day one. I cannot begin to tell you all the extra things she has done for me. See, I am from out of town. I purchased the home sight unseen, why, because I trusted her and I knew she was looking out for my best interest. I do not ever trust anyone so easily most especially because this was the second largest purchase of my life. There was a home I liked that had just gone on the market for a few hours, I expressed interest, she immediately went to the home to view on my behalf. Immediately took action, and because of this, no one put in the first bid but me. I know that I will recommend her, without hesitation, to any of my friends that show an interest in moving to Western North Carolina." - Margaret P.

"Sue Francisco is a stellar realtor! In a difficult sellers' market, she had my back as a buyer 100%. She was available 24/7, and almost always responded within 1 hour to my texts and emails. As homes would go into contract within 24 hours after being listed, this made all the difference. Even when she was out of town, she made sure one of her colleagues could show me a home, so I never felt missed. She was patient and really tuned into me. She showed me over 40 homes, and learned through careful listening, what was most suitable for me. She never pushed or tried to influence my process, and absolutely trusted that I would know when I found the right property. And...... SHE WAS RIGHT! The moment I walked into my new home, I knew it was the one. Sue immediately responded, and together we put together an offer in less than an hour. Because of our teamwork, and her experience in negotiation, we were accepted. Did I mention how many resources she provided for me? Attorneys, electricians, contractors, and awesome people for all my inspections. And, last but not least, she is super knowledgable about the market, fun, and has a HUGE heart." - Linda L.

It is with great pleasure that we recommend Sue Francisco as a real-estate agent. In our transactions Sue went above and beyond to make sure that the property we were buying was the perfect fit for us.Purchasing a home out of state brings about many challenges. After many viewings and not finding the perfect one we had to go back home. The next day a new home was put up for sale. Needless to say, we put in an offer going by the pictures and video Sue sent us via email. I was perfectly confident in this decision because Sue always pointed out the pros and cons of eachhome we visited and was always on our side. - Alexis & Marlene G.

"We can't imagine a more pleasant and efficient process buying our house in Black Mountain than we had with you. You thought of and took care of every detail imaginable, anticipated our questions and on top of that were delightful to work with." - Mary Ellen O. & Kelly K.

"So many good things to say about Sue Francisco;  professional, kind, and patient.  Sincere in helping you find “the right home”.  I LOVE my log cabin!" -Jerrie M.

"Sue made our first experience with home buying a true adventure. My husband and I had different ideas of what our dream house would be but Sue was always aware of us both.  She chose houses for us that met both of our ideas, and when we decided it wasn't for us she would graciously compose a new list of possibles. Combining "newer and spacious, move in ready" with "old charm and adding my own touch" wasn't an easy task but she took a willing spirit and found us our dream house! The memories of house hunting with her still bring smiles to our faces and we will forever be fond of her for her patience and dedication to our dream." - Ashley & Jeremiah S.
