When Susan relocated from Buffalo to Arizona in 1999, she wasn't just changing states—she was pursuing a lifestyle centered around water sports and year-round outdoor recreation. That decision transformed her into one of Metro-Phoenix's most distinguished real estate advisors with The Noble Agency, recognized for guiding clients through complex transactions with strategic clarity and unwavering focus. As a former Designated Broker and multi-million dollar producer, Susan has built her reputation on meticulous planning, proactive problem-solving, and the ability to coordinate sophisticated acquisitions where precision matters most.
Beyond water ski estates, Susan's expertise extends to the full spectrum of distinctive North Scottsdale lifestyle properties: championship golf communities, equestrian estates with exceptional facilities, car collector homes with custom garages, and aviation properties with private hangar access. Her 7-8 graduate certifications and leadership as luxury home tour President reflect a commitment to staying ahead of market evolution while maintaining the hands-on, detail-oriented approach that has earned sustained client trust for over 25 years.
Beyond real estate, Susan's life revolves around movement and shared experiences. She trades water skis for snow skis seasonally, once participated in a Guinness World Record for synchronized waterski ballet, and frequently takes paddleboard yoga sessions with Maggie, her spirited Jack Russell Terrier. Family road trips to the lake house and holiday skiing traditions remind her that the best properties facilitate the moments that matter most—connection, laughter, and memories worth building a life around.
The Lake Effect
Susan has called McDowell Mountain Ranch home since 1999, while spending most weekends at her secondary residence in Lakeside Ski Village. This balance between desert living and ski-lake life gives her an authentic, first-hand understanding of how lifestyle, recreation, and seasonality intersect. Clients benefit from insight shaped by experience, not assumption.
