Sue Rockwell’s extremely individualized and focused approach to selling real estate has earned her unique distinction in her industry, and exceptional results for her clients. In choosing to represent only a select group of clients at a time, she ensures the utmost customized service, detailed care and return on investment for every one of her buyers or sellers.
Achieving success in real estate since 1989, Sue went into the business for all the right reasons. Her main impetus was inspired during the purchase of her own first home which was a “for sale by owner” and the owner disallowed any agent representation. This experience made Sue realize the myriad of complexities and emotions that are inherent in the process and stirred her desire to help cushion others from these stresses during a time that should be exciting and rewarding.
Sue geographic focus is north and south of the Montlake Cut and she serves discerning sellers and buyers in the Windermere, Laurelhurst, Sand Point, View Ridge, Bryant, Hawthorne Hills, Inverness, Riviera, Broadmoor, Madison Park, and Washington Park neighborhoods of Seattle. Collaborating with her, you get her full attention from start to close. Sue is a resolute partner and advocate who listens intently to your needs, interprets them quickly and accurately, thinks creatively to personalize a plan based on your goals, and takes command of the entire transaction drawing on her knowledge of pricing, marketing, and negotiating that she has honed over the 30+ years she has been a realtor.
Prior to entering real estate, Sue gained valuable sales expertise in the telecom industry where she learned that effectiveness as a professional comes from providing information and guidance on your clients’ behalf rather than merely selling them a product.
