About Susan Drew & Marie Goodloe Realtors
REALTORS® Susan Drew and Marie Goodloe became partners in 2008, but as far as they're concerned it feels much longer. The successful women are agents with First Team Real Estate in Long Beach and in addition to selling homes; they have quite a bit in common. Perhaps this is why they teamed up in the first place even though they have been working in the same office for years. ''We were mentoring the new agents together for three years and we found that we were doing well together," said the Louisiana-raised Goodloe. "It was working out great so we decided to make it full time." Drew, a New Jersey native, has 24 years in real estate while Goodloe has 15 years in the business. "I love what I do because it is a challenge," said Goodloe, a former retail and consumer collections specialist. "We work off each other well; everyone has their good days and their better days and it's nice to have someone there," said Drew, formerly in the headhunting/legal services business. "Our work ethics are similar and that was important to me when I decided to team with Marie." Both women agree that real estate is the perfect career choice: "I like the diversity of this job and not having to break the monotony," Goodloe said. "Every client is different, every sale is different." Before they joined forces, Drew worked mostly alone, but Goodloe was with a team. "I definitely see the two of us working together for a long time," Goodloe said. Susan who is the more assertive one likes to get things done, while Goodloe enjoys the more intricate aspects of the business. "We are great at doing a short sale and negotiating," Goodloe said. "We each like doing certain things; we have a nice balance." "Susan has the personality that shines and you can hear that smile behind her conversations," Goodloe said. "I think it wins people over, even if you don't see her in person." And because they get along so well, it's no wonder their Web site is called www.WeSellHomes2for1.com.
The ladies specialize in residential properties and residential income in Long Beach and its surrounding areas. They are members of NAR and CAR, Power and many other organizations and involved in various community outreach programs. Drew has her GRI and CRS, while Goodloe has her GRI. "Our one main message is that we treat each client as an individual and we treat them as we would want to be treated," Drew said. Both married with families, the women are local to the area so they are aware of the gold mines waiting to be bought for a reasonable asking price! "Referrals are the livelihood of our business, we make sure every transaction is a pleasurable one or the real estate advice is on us," Drew said. "It's important in today's market to choose a REALTOR®that is not only local to the area, but has experience handling issues that may prevent buying, selling or investing in real estate." "The bottom line is that we care. We have the great tools from First Team, but we do the extra steps that we need to do to make our clients happy," Goodloe said.
