About Best Deal Realty

Our Philosophy

Real estate decisions rarely stop at buying or selling — our approach is built around that.

Philosophy

More than a transaction.

We believe that successful real estate decisions require more than simply completing a transaction.

Many clients are deciding whether to renovate, hold, sell, purchase, lease, or invest. Our goal is to help evaluate those options thoughtfully and coordinate the people and resources needed to move forward.

Why Clients Work With Us

Analytical, practical, and personal.

Analytical

We approach real estate decisions with an investment mindset, combining financial analysis with practical market knowledge.

Practical

From brokerage to renovations and property operations, we focus on solutions that can actually be implemented.

Personal

As a boutique firm, clients work directly with experienced professionals who understand their goals and remain involved throughout the process.

Suzanne Hickey, Principal Broker

Suzanne Hickey

Principal Broker

Suzanne founded Best Deal Realty in 2014 after more than a decade at IBM and Digital Equipment Corporation, where she built the project management and organizational discipline she now brings to running the brokerage. A lifelong Massachusetts native, she returned to the workforce in 2005 after raising three children, working at a number of brokerages before starting the firm. She's been an active real estate investor since 2008 and has been involved in a variety of renovation projects along the way, and clients consistently point to the same things: her responsiveness, her ability to juggle a dozen moving pieces at once, and her willingness to advocate hard for the people she represents. Best Deal Realty's longevity in a competitive industry comes down largely to the relationships she's built and kept.

Joe Hickey, Advisory and Investment Analysis

Joe Hickey

Advisory & Investment Analysis

Joe has been licensed since 2014 and affiliated with Best Deal Realty on and off since his time at Boston College. He spent nearly four years at JPMorgan Chase across the investment bank and private bank, working on operations, project management, business implementation, software development, and financial reporting that supported sophisticated institutional and private clients. Alongside that experience, he independently built the financial modeling toolkit — DCF, IRR, pro formas, sensitivity analysis — he now applies to acquisition underwriting, renovation budgeting, and owner advisory. He returned to Best Deal Realty full-time in 2021 as a Real Estate Associate, and has since underwritten affordable housing acquisitions and preservation projects — including a $1.6M CDBG award he helped secure through the Boston Acquisition Fund. He's also worked owner-side with general contractors on residential capital projects and assisted with management of an affordable housing portfolio.
