About Susan
Our homes provide the setting for many of life's great moments. In a city as large as Los Angeles, finding the right home and community to raise a family, start a career, invest in, retire to, or simply enjoy life is so important. I have spent much of the past 30 years learning about these various neighborhoods and communities so that I can best help my clients to navigate these decisions. My passion for real estate, architecture, design and working with people is what brought me into this business, and the ability to help people realize their real estate goals, whether selling or buying, is what motivates me.
Born and raised in Oklahoma City, I moved to Los Angeles in 1986 after graduating from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas with a degree in Film and Television Studies. I had the good fortune to spend a decade working on many iconic films of the 1980s and '90s. My early production managing skills of organization, problem solving, contract negotiation and creativity have been invaluable in my career as a real estate professional. Every deal is different and brings a new set of challenges and opportunities. I utilize my combined work, leadership and life experiences, along with my integrity, diligence and discretion to make each experience a successful and positive one for my clients.
The most important element in my life that informs everything else, is my family. The life my husband Charles and I have built together and the two amazing children we raised in Santa Monica fills me with gratitude every day. In addition to my work and family life, I also spent a fulfilling 21 years as an integral part of the Allies for Every Child (formerly Westside Children's Center) Board of Directors where for two years I served as President of the Board and more than 10 years as the Program Committee Chair, as well as being a founding member and President of the Auxiliary Board. I am currently an active member of the Los Angeles Giving Circle whose mission is to empower underserved women and girls in Los Angeles County to achieve self-sufficient lives.
It has been my great privilege to have built lasting relationships with countless clients, and also to have had the immense pleasure of working with multiple generations of families, helping all to navigate some of their most important and meaningful real estate decisions. It would be my pleasure to do the same for you.
