More About Susan
Business Philosophy
I approach my career in real estate with an unwavering commitment to honesty and ethical practice, while providing the best real estate service and guidance you will find. I love the business of buying and selling houses and I look forward to helping you reach your real estate goals.
Personal Background
As a full time realtor, I bring my experience from design, entitlement and construction to my real estate practice. I began my career, right out of college, in Landscape Architecture and quickly realized that I would excel in Real Estate. After a stint as a Development Manager for Prometheus Real Estate Group entitling and managing multi-family housing projects, I moved my career north to Marin County and began in Real Estate sales. The dynamic nature of the Real Estate market requires a professional with integrity, confidence and determination, all characteristics that mark my personality as well as professional ambition. My experience in the world of Real Estate development provided an excellent foundation in real estate finance, contract negotiation and transaction management.
My home is Marin county and my knowledge of the local real estate market, as well as local resources serves my clients well. There is no better tool for pricing a listing or assessing the value of a home than current knowledge of market data. I am relentless when it comes to previewing current listings and am gifted in identifying value and understand the strengths and weaknesses of a property. My years in real estate sales as well as commercial real estate have given me a firm understanding of real estate principals, and that, paired with my local market knowledge make me an invaluable resource for buyers and sellers alike. Because of my deep roots in this community, I will be an exceptional resource when it comes to local schools, parks, clubs and recreation.
I live in a 1920s bungalow in San Anselmo with my husband and 2 daughters. I am passionate about giving back and investing in my community and do so by spending countless hours and dollars supporting causes I believe in!
