Susan Vanech: Here to Help You Win the Real Estate Trifecta
When it comes to finding someone who knows her home buying, selling and investing stuff, both personally and professionally, Susan Vanech, a real estate strategist and founding member of COMPASS Coastal, is the real deal.
With over two decades of experience navigating both the New York and Fairfield County, Connecticut markets, from buying to reimagining to reselling, Susan can help you win the real estate trifecta.
“I decided to make my passion my work and my work is my passion,” says Susan. “I care about it in a way that I’m not just checking boxes. I pour myself wholeheartedly into my business as a developer and the business for my clients, as there is a natural synergy between the two,” says Susan.
In addition to being a founding member of COMPASS, she is also the co-founder of COMPASS Coastal, which adds another layer of helping her buying and selling audience find what is most important to them. COMPASS Coastal offers a unique real estate experience with access to the top 1% of real estate strategists and analysts worldwide. With COMPASS Coastal in particular, Susan is able to tap into an audience who have homes and yachts around the world by partnering with the yachting, car and art industries. “We serve our clients through this vast network of relationships and are able to meet client needs no matter where they want to purchase a first, second or third home or their next big boat, classic car or significant art piece. There is a level of trust because they know we understand them and their needs.”
This model agent and developer has been making real estate magic happen since she realized that people were willing to pay a premium for updated apartments while living in New York with her husband. Before long, they were selling units and making money, even in down markets. “When servicing a luxury client base, they want ease and convenience,” she explains. This continued to be true even when Susan moved her family to the Connecticut suburbs, where she would live in a home and make modifications before making a profit.
Susan’s talent for integrating elevated features into a home at any price point was a major differentiating factor and gave her a stellar real estate reputation. This energetic real estate entrepreneur also took her home investing to new heights when she purchased her first foreclosure, which gave her more insight into flipping – and real financial success. Twelve years later, she is now known as the Million Dollar Flipper with her latest project securing a sale price of $4,100,000.
While the pandemic put a pause on many businesses, the housing market around Connecticut, the Hamptons, and surrounding areas of Westchester just got hotter due to the influx of renters and buyers. “There was a major shortage of inventory and a massive need to find housing for all of these people, so creating inventory really tapped into the three branches of my business,” says Susan. “I realized that we have a client base out there who is looking for luxury, not just in real estate, but in their overall lifestyle.”
With exceptional expertise across various real estate ventures, Susan was compelled to share her perspective as an investor with a wider audience and was even known as the Real Estate Matchmaker. “I was connecting hearts with homes and realized that nobody needs help falling in love with a house, but you do need an expert to understand if it’s a smart investment and it is my role to provide that expert guidance.”
She soon started to see herself as a true real estate strategist for having the foresight of knowing how to position a home to make the most money in the shortest amount of time for her own investments as well as for clients. “It’s all about how to strategize on both the buy and the sell side. I help clients re-envision a space that can meet the needs of the widest possible audience which results in more opportunities open to them. Most people have aphantasia, which is the inability to see something with the mind’s eye. But I can see it for them and I help clients make good investments which are not based solely off of an emotional decision.”
Susan continues to watch both her own as well as her clients’ real estate development dreams come true.
