I've never been one to brag.

However, I'm also a realist.

So why choose me?

Lifelong Capital Region Native

You wouldn't buy a car from someone who doesn't drive - so why would you purchase a home from someone who doesn't know the area? I've lived in the Capital District my entire life, and consider it my backyard.

So why real estate? There's so many career options in Upstate New York. why the real estate industry? I'll put my cards on the table. When I bought my first home, I had no idea what I was doing. My realtor didn't explain anything to me, just told me where to sign and where to be at what time. I need to understand why I'm doing something. The process was confusing and left me feeling quite overwhelmed.

It's imperative that my clients feel confident in their decision to buy or sell a home. You will have a firm understanding of the home buying (or selling) process when we work together. Check out the testimonials on my website, and you'll find happy clients!

Thinking about buying a home? Check out my blog where I'm featuring a series on things to think about when you're buying a home, step-by-step http://www.coldwellbankerprime.com/suzanne.prezio/Blog. Thinking about selling your home? Ten Steps of What NOT To Do will be of interest to you.

A little bit about me; I'm a life-long resident of the Capital Region. I am a graduate of Colonie Central High School, in addition to the College of St. Rose in Albany, NY. I earned a BA in Sociology/Criminal Justice in 1988. In 1991, I secured a job as an office manager at a law firm in downtown Schenectady. I managed that firm until 2000, then moved on to manage a firm in the Colonie/Guilderland area until 2008.

How is that of benefit to you? Attention to detail, organization, communication and follow up! Believe me, I may have to place ten phone calls and several e-mails, but I will get you the answers you need!!

In 2007, I obtained my real estate license and became a full time agent with Coldwell Banker Prime Properties in June 2008.

I love the Capital Region. It's where I work. It's where I play. It's where I live and raise my family. Welcome to the Capital Region in Upstate New York. I'm eager to show you my hometown!

2011 Home Trends by the Numbers

Some interesting numbers were published by NYSAR (New York State Association of Realtors) recently. You may be surprised by some of the stats:

Typical age of first-time buyers in 2011 - 31 years old
In 2011, typical age of repeat buyers increased to 53 years of age (up from 49 in 2010).
Nine out of 10 home buyers purchased a home through a real estate agent.
The percentage of people who had a down payment greater than 20 percent (according to the October REALTORS Confidence Index) - 34%
Estimated percentage of immigrants who will own homes in 2030 - 70.3% Should that projection be accurate, the percentage of immigrants who will own homes will be on par or slightly higher than native-born Americans.
The predicted average square footage of a US home in 2015 - 2,152.
