About Susan

Gainesville isn't just where I work — it's home.

I'm Susan Hicks, a Gainesville, Florida native and lifelong resident, proudly helping buyers, sellers, and investors throughout Gainesville and the surrounding communities of Alachua County.

Whether you're buying your very first home, selling a luxury property, building an investment portfolio, growing into a larger home, or downsizing for your next chapter, I believe every real estate decision deserves local knowledge, thoughtful strategy, and personal attention.

As a lifelong Gainesville resident, I don't simply know the market — I know the community. My approach is driven, focused, and personal. Whatever your next move looks like, my mission is to guide you through the details, protect your interests, negotiate strategically, and deliver an experience built around your goals.

“Your dream, your home, my mission.”
How I Help

Guidance for every kind of move

Buyers

I especially love guiding first-time home buyers to homeownership — making the process easier to understand, helping you decide with confidence, protecting your interests, and negotiating strategically from your first showing through closing day.

Sellers

For sellers — including luxury homeowners and those preparing to downsize — I bring a focused approach to positioning your property, attracting the right buyers, negotiating from a position of strength, and delivering a successful sale.

Investors

For investors, I combine lifelong knowledge of Gainesville and Alachua County with a driven, goal-focused approach — helping identify opportunities and navigate each transaction with your investment objectives in mind.

Frequently asked questions

What areas do you serve in and around Gainesville?
I help buyers, sellers, and investors throughout Gainesville and the surrounding communities of Alachua County — including Haile Plantation, Tioga, Jonesville, Newberry, Alachua, and High Springs. As a lifelong Gainesville resident, I know these neighborhoods and the community inside and out.
What are the best neighborhoods in Gainesville and Alachua County?
It depends on your lifestyle and goals. Families often love Haile Plantation, Tioga, and NW Gainesville for the amenities and schools; buyers who want character gravitate to the historic Duckpond district; and those wanting more space look to Jonesville, Newberry, Alachua, and High Springs. I will help you match the right neighborhood to your priorities, budget, and commute.
Is Gainesville a good place to buy or invest in real estate?
Gainesville is anchored by the University of Florida and UF Health, which support steady housing demand and a strong, year-round rental market. That combination makes it an appealing place to buy a primary home or build an investment portfolio.
Do you work with buyers, sellers, or investors near the University of Florida?
Yes. UF is the heart of our market, and I work with buyers, sellers, and investors throughout the university area — from families and faculty to investors focused on rental demand near campus.
Do you help first-time home buyers?
Absolutely — it is one of my favorite parts of the job. I make the process easier to understand, help you navigate each decision with confidence, protect your interests, and negotiate strategically from your first showing through closing day.
How do we get started?
The easiest way is to reach out for a no-pressure conversation about your goals. No spam, no pressure, just real answers. Call or text me at 352-213-7857 or email susan@buysellrabell.com, and we will map out your next move together.
