Susan Engel

Susan Engel has long been one the areas most knowledgeable realtors. Consistently a top producer, she was voted Realtor of the Year in New Canaan by her peers and has twice served as President of the New Canaan Board of Realtors. She has been involved in more than 500 real estate transactions in New Canaan since 1982. Her 30-plus years as a full-time agent in town have resulted in her knowing the current value and attributes of almost every home in New Canaan.

Susan works with top builders in our area to communicate trends in the market and changing customer needs. Her expertise includes the areas of luxury homes, vintage homes, condominiums, land, and new construction.

What is Susans role on the Engel Team?

First of all, Susan has the experience of being in every home in town. That is no exaggeration. She has lived in this town 40 years and been a real estate agent for 35. When you drive around New Canaan with Susan she points out the window and gives a commentary on each house, when it sold last, whether it was renovated, and what were its greatest assets and issues. Her encyclopedic mind is a critical asset to the team and new agents.

Susan shows a house better than anyone. And really, this is an essential part of the job. If we were selling stocks we might look up the associated facts and weigh a decision. But, houses are so much more than stocks and Susan is able to paint a picture of what it might be like to live in each home, imagining the family coming together to eat in this space, opening up walls over here, and having coffee together over there. Its quite something to behold an experience realtor with imagination who can articulate for her client what is essential about a house and to bring that house to life. If you want to see what I mean, watch the videos at 312 Elm Street, 269 Dans Highway and 7 Canaan Close. This is how Susan shows a house.

And Susan is a people-person, and that makes her a natural rainmaker. People come up to me every day and say, I just love your mother. She is genuine with an upbeat, a positive personality. That is the kind of person people want to work with, whether its looking for a home they can be excited about, or whether it is going through the process of putting a house on the market for sale. When youve been around so long, and everybody knows you and trusts you, they want to hire you. Rather than slow down saying, I dont want to work that hard she has decided to surround herself with a capable team and it allows Susan to do what she does best, connect with people.
