About Suzie:
Born and raised in Vancouver, Susie has been enjoying the Island since 1981. In 2015 she made the big move and now calls Oceanside her “forever home”.
Susie’s background is in sales and marketing for over 20 years , with most her most recent as an award-winning sales representative with the Proctor and Gamble Group. Susie has also had much personal success through buying, renovating and selling property over the years, including a joint venture in a commercial building in New Westminster with her brother Klaus who has been a local German car mechanic in Qualicum Beach for many years.
Between her extensive work experience in building long-term trusted client relationships, and her truly being a “people person” along with a keen eye for real estate, it was all too obvious that becoming a Realtor® was a perfect match for her skills and interests. “Living the Island dream” has always been her mantra and putting an address to her client’s dream is her forever mission and long-term goal. It’s all about helping others get their dream home… whatever that may be.
Whether you’re buying your first home, downsizing, or preparing to sell, TeamW is ready to make the journey clear, manageable, and even enjoyable.
