What I Do

Investments

Core principles include property acquisition at below market prices and utilizing design and turn-key development services to increase property values executing on disciplined and predictable project timelines to minimize hold time. This enables increased efficiency and return on capital, generating strong investment returns for my partners and for my own portfolio. I find that developing trust in partnerships is key, as is a deep understanding of the markets in which I work. This focus has led to repeat partnerships with PMLs and real estate agents and additional growth from the identification of niche markets that yield even stronger returns.

Successful partnerships & investments include:

  • Private Mortgage Lenders (PMLs)
  • Investors / End Buyers
  • Real Estate Agents

Design Clients

The foundation of my work is design. It has been my true passion and the way in which I have delivered value to my design clients for years. The joy of a beautiful living space that invites and supports the sharing and making of family memories continues to be a fulfilling part of my collaboration with clients. Design has also been a key element in my investment work, producing significantly higher investment returns, reducing the time to sale for investment properties and increasing the rental rates for investor property portfolios.

Repeat design clients include:

  • Homeowners – Principal Residences & Vacation Homes
  • Investors – Sales / Flip & Rental Portfolios
  • Real estate agents – increasing home values & referring new home buyers

What Clients and Partners Say…

Susan and I have worked together for a number of years on multiple properties. Each time, I’ve been able to generate strong returns from both property sales and by adding to my rental portfolio. Her ability to find properties, manage the development and close the sale with really no effort from me has been extremely valuable. In my experience, Susan has this rare combination… a true gift for design, the ability to visualize (and communicate) the vision for a property, a deep understanding of market values – both acquisition and sale price – and a real command of construction management and costs. This has led to stunning properties that sell quickly or enable increased rental revenue. I know it’s this unique capability that has led to my financial success from our working together.

PML/Private Investor

Susan has become one of my ‘go-to’ people in the business. I’ve appreciated her continued trust in me when she finds an opportunity or when I have an idea or opportunity. She understands the market, how to price – multiple times setting a higher standard for pricing in an area. Her vision and design work has been a big part of that success. But it’s also how she engages and partners that has helped my business capture more property transactions bringing additional revenue and repeat clients. Thank you, Susan!”

Susan is such a talented designer! She has the gift of taking your style and elevating to the next level. I am forever grateful for her, she turned my house into a beautiful sanctuary for us, during my daughter’s terminal illness. She purged and brought new pieces in to make it flow from one room to another. I would highly recommend her to my friends and family! Thank you Susan, for making my house beautiful during the most difficult time of my life!
