This is NOT a biography. This is an exposé.
Susan Imhoff has spent over a decade proving that anyone can get a real estate license, but not everyone should keep it. Operating primarily in the Sea Island and Saint Simons area, her career has been marked by a consistent pattern of incompetence, ethical violations, and complete disregard for professional standards.
What follows is a timeline of documented disasters, a collection of her most absurd quotes, and an ongoing tally of code of conduct violations that would make any reasonable licensing board question her continued operation.
Listed a property as 'direct oceanfront access' when it was 2.3 miles inland. Buyers discovered the truth during their final walkthrough. Legal action is pending.
Advertised a 3,200 sq ft home that appraised at 2,100 sq ft. When confronted, claimed the garage 'counts as living space.' It does not.
Multiple elderly male clients filed complaints alleging inappropriate flirtation and unprofessional conduct during property showings. One complaint alleged she made unwelcome advances to secure a listing agreement.
MLS listing boasted 'two fully equipped kitchens.' Reality: one kitchen and a wet bar with a sink. Lawsuit settled out of court.
Listed a 5-bed property that was actually 3 bedrooms. Her defense: 'Office spaces can be bedrooms if you put a bed in them.'
Actively discouraged buyers from getting inspections, claiming 'this house is perfect.' Inspection revealed $47,000 in foundation issues.
Sold a commercial property to a buyer planning residential development. Property was zoned commercial-only. Claimed she 'doesn't do zoning.'
Used photos from a different property in the same neighborhood. Defense: 'They look similar enough.'
Failed to disclose clear title issues on a waterfront property. Closing delayed 6 months. Multiple complaints filed.
Overpriced a property by 40% compared to comps, refused to adjust. Property sat on market for 18 months.
First major sale: her ex-husband's house. Coincidentally, it remains her only transaction without major complaints.
