About Suzanne

SCHOOL OF HARD KNOCKS
Suzanne Slate got a real "school of hard knocks education" after graduating college. She was recruited as a systems engineer in Boston by Ross Perot at EDS. While the hours were excruciatingly long and expectations incredibly hard, it brought out all of her ability. This experience proved to her that she could accomplish anything.

PEOPLE MAKE THE WORLD GO ROUND
Suzanne's deep love of golf and the outdoors was the catalyst for her move to South Florida over 20 years ago. Suzanne became interested in real estate and decided it was time for a career change. Her well-trained approach is simple; listen to her clients, guide them, and successfully deliver desired results. Basically put, "I thrive on being with people. I have been around all types of great, amazing people and some real tough ones. I am not intimidated and I look at people with respect and speak to them with intelligence. If I don't know something, I am not afraid to say I don't know it and will find the answer. I learn something every day and I also love to help others.

THE BEST OF THE REST
As in the engineering industry, paying attention to detail and logic is critical, and it's no different in real estate. "I take stressful situations and break them down into manageable pieces and let that person(s) know that I will be there for them at any time. Usually stress is based on not knowing or the unknown. My goal is to help provide my clients with more information and find answers so the process of home buying and selling seems less daunting," says Suzanne. "I am also excellent at following up. I have this insane nagging in my brain when I have not completed what I know needs to get done. I won't let a deal fall apart due to a missed detail or deadline."

SPORTS FANATIC
"Golf is my peace and quiet and is a sport where total concentration is necessary and statistical decisions makes or breaks your game. It helps me relax and forget anything else in my mind. I am extremely competitive, but mostly against myself. My other passion is the New England Patriots. I literally get depressed…(AFTER we win the Super Bowl)…when the season ends."

FAMILY IS KEY
Family is extremely important to Suzanne. She is married with 3 sons, all in their 20s. Her eldest works as a dentist; her middle, who is also a cancer survivor, works in the IT field, and her youngest is a junior at UCF studying Actuarial Science and Statistics. Suzanne's mother and father have since passed but had an incredible effect on her upbringing, as her father, a West Point graduate, was a marketing executive, and her mother a teacher. They were both amazing role models and helped to supply her with the values and determination needed for her family and career.

COMMUNITY HERO
Suzanne involves herself in many charitable and non-profit organizations that benefit her community. However, she is also forever committed to the South Florida Kids Cancer Foundation, as her son, Ben, was diagnosed with bone cancer at the age of 9. "He never complained during years of chemo and surgeries and today he is still facing a life-threatening situation, yet he still remains calm and makes great decisions. He inspires me to keep going, and that if he can do it, so can I!"
