In August 2022 Laura and Kristin decided to expand their partnership and brought on Suzanne Hughes as their Buyer's Agent/Sales Associate. A fourth generation Californian, Suzanne has lived in Marin County for more than 25 years. A life-long exposure to real estate has provided the ideal foundation for her successful and rewarding career. Her father was an architect, her mother a realtor, and her spouse a custom homebuilder, which along with her background in sales and merchandising, have created for Suzanne a wealth of experience and knowledge of the real estate industry.
For many people, their most important investment is the purchase of a home, and home ownership is still called the American dream. Suzanne’s passion lies in helping others make that dream a reality. She is able to guide buyers and sellers through the whole process with her astute attention to detail, professionalism and consistency so that the experience is a positive and successful one. Loyal clients most often compliment her on her positive energy and influence as well as her innate ability to make favorable connections with all concerned parties.
Suzanne has purchased several homes and raised four children in Marin County, which has provided her with a deep familiarity of the nuances of each community, their respective schools, sports teams and extracurricular programs. She has been involved in the Ross Valley Women’s League, is a founding member of National League of Young Men and has spent countless hours volunteering for her children's schools and sport teams.
With their demonstrated knowledge of the community and a partnership philosophy based on deeply understanding and responding to the unique needs of their clients, the Laura & Kristin Team is ideally suited to guide you through the entire home buying and selling experience.
