About Suzanne

Born in Concord and raised in Bedford, Suzanne is a lifelong resident of the area. Inspired by her realtor grandfather, her interest in real estate emerged at a very young age. While friends played house or teacher, she collected one of her father’s discarded briefcases and an obsolete pink rotary telephone from the 1970’s, pretending to operate her own real estate business! The dog days of summer were largely consumed with riding her bicycle to nearby open houses and pouring over the local real estate ad books that she would collect during the family’s summer outings. Her grandfather, Augie Schmuhl, founded and owned a real estate brokerage in NJ decades earlier, but sold it when Suzanne was just a child. While Suzanne did not truly grow up "in the business" per se, real estate definitely seems to be coded into her DNA as she proudly follows in the footsteps of her late grandfather.

While attending UMass Amherst and finishing up her degree in management, Suzanne obtained her real estate license. In doing so, she revived that same spark that had inspired her grandfather decades earlier. Suzanne began working with buyers and sellers while she was still a student. Upon graduating, she landed her first sales job with the internet startup, Zip Realty, where she spent two years, earning the Rookie of the Year award from the local real estate board and getting recognized as a top agent at the company. Striving for personal and professional growth, Suzanne left Zip Realty to join Keller Williams, an expanding company that encouraged business-building and ownership. This spoke to Suzanne’s entrepreneurial spirit and she went on to spend 16 years building one of the most successful Keller Williams teams in the Great Boston area - focusing on the northwest suburbs. In 2020, Suzanne brought her business to Compass, feeling inspired by their innovative approach to the luxury real estate market.

In addition to that Rookie of the Year award, Suzanne went on to be named the 2014 Bedford Business Person of the Year! She is also sitting high in the rankings as one of the Top 1% of agents in MA. As a listing agent, she is #1 in Bedford and has been since 2013. She has built a team of highly successful Buyer Agents, who are also claiming the top spots.

Of critical importance to Suzanne and her team is her work within the community, advocating for and supporting local schools and charities, sponsoring numerous community-building events. She is a notorious networker, connecting people and resources and frequently initializing local social media groups aimed at bringing together people in the community who might not otherwise meet. So much in life is about connecting the dots, one of Suzanne's passions!

Deeply involved in the real estate industry, Suzanne has served on both state (MAR) and local (Greater Boston) real estate boards, as well as Political Action Committee for Greater Boston. Several years ago, she was invited to be a part of Provisors, an exclusive networking group, where she continues to foster many new relationships.

Suzanne and her husband, Ryan, live in Bedford, MA with their two children, June and Wes, plus their beloved dogs, Josie and Scout. They own an old farmhouse with a couple of even older-looking barns that they are slowly and lovingly restoring. Real estate investors since they left UMass, the Kollers have enjoyed a number of projects, including some bank-owned investments, a "flip" house in Littleton, their Hillside Ave restoration project and the 1848 Greek Revival located at 90 Great Road in Bedford, now prominently serving as the headquarters for Team Suzanne and Co.

Favorite pastimes include renovating houses, traveling (Montana is a new favorite), hiking and boating. They enjoy spending their down time on Cape Cod with family and friends at their small, but charming. cottage. She enjoys cheering her son, Wes, on while he plays travel soccer (Ryan is the coach)! Suzanne has recently started riding horses in an effort to keep up with their daughter June, who is, how do you say ... horse crazy!

“The best of the best! It was such a pleasure working with Suzanne’s team from the beginning to the end of the selling process. Having a quick turnaround for the sale of a house and moving out of state can be really overwhelming, but the team made our transition so effortless and seamless. They took care of every little detail and went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of once we moved before the close of our house. We would recommend Suzanne and Company to everyone we know for all of their real estate needs. No question or task was too big or too small for them - they were just amazing to work with!”
