Susan's broad experience in real estate law includes completion of residential and commercial transactions both on small-tract levels and large-tract/full-development levels.

Susan's larger clients include Land Resource Companies, LLC; The Settings Development Companies, LLC; Soapstone Creek Estates, LLC; LR Buffalo Creek, LLC; and The Settings of Black Mountain, LLC.
