BACKGROUND

With nearly a decade of real estate experience in the dynamic Boise market, Suzanne Bergmann offers her clients east coast sensibilities tempered by over 20 years of living in Boise.

Suzanne grew up in Connecticut. Boarding school in Maine was followed by liberal arts college studies in Virginia (she holds a B.A. in English/Creative Writing from Sweet Briar College), with academics punctuated throughout by lacrosse among other extracurriculars. Her first post-college job was first/second grade teacher and middle school lacrosse coach at the Shady Hill School in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Suzanne joined a multi-service law firm for four years in Charlottesville, Virginia, while her husband Michael earned a JD/MBA at the University of Virginia. She was responsible for legal support to an active and dynamic real estate practice. Her responsibilities included administration of and attendance at all residential closings, preparation of sale, purchase, and mortgage loan documents, title searches, and maintenance of and disbursement from the Real Estate Fiduciary Account. Fifteen years in Washington, D.C. followed, the first part of which was spent working for NationsBank spin-off AMRESCO, it’s distressed real estate arm where she coordinated obligations on behalf of sellers and resolved property title, survey and related issues in the settlement process. Additional responsibilities included integration of asset managers, the legal department, brokers and other agents in the closing process. Suzanne’s early work in real estate fostered a lifelong love of and fascination with the field.

While raising a young family as Michael continued his law practice, Suzanne became deeply involved in school activities—classroom support, fund-raising committees and soccer coaching in particular—and volunteering in animal advocacy organizations. In 2005, Suzanne and Michael decided to try something completely different and so they moved to Boise even though they had no prior connection to the city: it has been home ever since and they couldn’t be happier about it (their then school-age daughter and son were skeptical, but they will tell you it was the best decision their parents ever made).

Suzanne has always been committed to community service, a commitment that deepened here in Boise. She has served two terms on the Board of the Idaho Humane Society; safeguarding the well-being of animals has been one of her lifelong passions. She is also a past President of the Parents’ Association of and ex-officio member of the Board of Trustees of Riverstone International School, from which both her children graduated and where Michael served two terms on the Board.
In their free time, you’re likely to find Suzanne and Michael backcountry flying, working out at the Y, cooking a great plant-based meal or taking advantage of everything else this City of Trees makes so easy to enjoy.

With grown children Leslie and Bayard now safely graduated from their respective MBA programs at Chicago and Virginia, Suzanne is leveraging her education, early career and life experience as a professional real estate agent. Having bought and sold residential properties both as family homes and as an investor, she’s seen first-hand just how important it is to have a skilled, trusted real estate advocate. Suzanne’s natural communication gifts, coupled with attention to detail, hard work and market/transactional knowledge ensure that her clients are in the very best hands.

Suzanne enjoys meeting and working with interesting people from diverse backgrounds. She genuinely loves real estate, the peace of mind that comes to a seller from a smooth sales process and the joy that the right house can bring to a new owner. You’ll always know that, when you work with her, you have a trusted, honest and careful ear, one that not only listens but more importantly hears what you have to say and one whose only goal is to protect your interests. That’s what Suzanne would want for herself and so it’s what you will always get from her.
