beyond the transaction

You deserve more than a deal. You deserve a clear plan, strong communication, and a process that keeps every detail on track.

The Person Behind the Process

Most people don’t reach out to a real estate agent because they’re excited. They reach out because they’re standing at a crossroads, wondering whether moving makes sense, whether staying is the better choice, or what comes next.

Two decades of those conversations have taught me one thing: this is rarely just about the house.

It’s about protecting what you’ve built, reducing stress where you can, and making decisions that fit your life, not just the market.

Before real estate, I spent more than 20 years in IT, the last 10 as a Senior Project Manager leading high-scale, high-profile, multi-million-dollar statewide projects. That background shaped how I work: structure, communication, follow-through, and making sure the details that matter don’t fall through the cracks.

My role is to help you think through the tradeoffs, understand your options, and build a plan that makes sense for your situation.

You don’t need to have the answer today.

Rooted Here Trained for This

Helping Through Life Transitions

Many homeowners I work with aren't simply buying or selling a house. They're navigating a major life transition, right-sizing, relocating, helping a parent, changing lifestyles, or preparing for what comes next. My SRES® training helps me guide those conversations with both the practical and financial pieces in mind.

Local Knowledge and Broad Reach

Your move is local. Your exposure shouldn't be. Through Guide Real Estate and Forbes Global Properties, your home reaches qualified buyers locally, nationally, and internationally while still being marketed through a strategy built specifically for Sacramento.

Community Matters

Sacramento isn't just where I work, it's home. Kenneth and I have lived and worked in this region for over 20 years, and our connection to this community shapes how we serve the people in it.

THE REAL 916

I created THE REAL 916 to offer Sacramento homeowners a more thoughtful and grounded real estate experience, one that respects the fact that major decisions deserve more than transactions.

Your Next Move Is About More Than Real Estate
Why Work With Suzette

Real estate moves involve a lot of moving parts pricing decisions, negotiation strategy, inspections, timelines, and unexpected issues that can surface along the way. The right guidance helps you avoid costly mistakes, stay ahead of potential problems, and move forward with confidence. My role is to keep the process organized, anticipate challenges before they become setbacks, and make sure your interests are protected from the first conversation to the final closing. If you’re wondering what that looks like in practice, here are the seven things you can expect when we work together.
