Sue Clark, REALTOR
Like many people I came into real estate career from many paths and directions. I grew up in Colorado. I earned a BS in Nursing and then worked 2 years as a Navy Nurse. For the next 21 years, my Navy husband, 3 daughters and I moved from one coast to the other -- moving over 13 times! So I know and understand the joys, frustrations, challenges and excitement of moving whether it's across town, across state or from coast-to-coast.
My family and I relocated to the North Stafford area in 1991. I became a New Homes onsite specialist representing builders. I attained the great honor of being repeat Top Sales Producer for a builder in Northern Virginia. Also, I've worked for a large Fredericksburg area builder.
Whether new construction or a resale, I truly enjoy helping the first time purchaser as well as those active adults moving into their retirement home...plus everyone in between! My promise as a Realtor to you is to be there for you and help you through the entire real estate process.

I relocated to Fredericksburg in 2005 with my three children. It's a great place to live, and I love helping people.
What did I do before moving to Fredericksburg? I've been in the Real Estate business in some form since 1985. Starting out in the Mortgage Division of a Savings & Loan. I've lived in several states, and have family in the Richmond area. I love to travel and constantly learn and grow.
Fredericksburg is a wonderful place to live, hours from the mountains to the west, and beaches to the east. Just south of Washington, DC & north of Richmond. Do you love history? This may be a place for you too!

A native of southwest Virginia, I arrived in the 'big city' of Fredericksburg in 1965 to attend Mary Washington College. After graduation, I worked as a school teacher and social worker in Stafford County for 32 years. From the many years dedicated to public service, I learned flexibility, patience and empathy which are very helpful when working with homesellers and homebuyers.
There have been many dramatic area changes in the 39 years that I've lived here. However, my dedication and work ethic remain the same. I'm still very goal oriented...I recently received an award for it. So, if you want a full-time, committed agent who is not afraid to work hard for you and keeps your goals in focus, let me know. I will be delighted to help you with your HOME work!

I’m so thankful we found her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone.” Amanda
