Sue Russell
After decades in post-secondary education, Sue was looking for self-employment in a field that would allow commitment and hard work to be reflected in earnings. Real estate seemed a good fit. Sue knows what it is like to enter this business with no sphere of influence as she started in 1994 after a recent move to the Comox Valley, and after her three sons had grown up and left home—she knew no one in the Valley except her husband!
Using her background in adult education and in administration, Sue built a “service based” business and has enjoyed the rewards, financial and emotional, that have gone with a successful career in this fascinating people business. A firm believer that education is a lifelong process, Sue holds additional licenses as managing broker and in property management, continues to teach and train, and advocates strongly for continuing education. Although still somewhat active in the field, Sue has spent more time in the past eight years supporting various managing brokers at RE/MAX Ocean Pacific Realty. Managing the brokerage in Dave’s absence, supporting Dave when he is present, supporting property management, training, and mentoring, as well as providing answers regarding contract questions fills Sue’s days full indeed. One thing is for sure: there is never a boring day in the real estate business.
