Suzanne McClere is a Realtor for Coldwell Banker United in The Woodlands.
What was your first job in the realty industry?
After graduating from Champions School of Real Estate, last year, I went to work as a Realtor with Coldwell Banker United, Realtors, in The Woodlands. It was the best decision I could have ever made! I am enjoying every minute of helping my clients to sell or purchase their home.
Where did you grow up?
I was born in Chicago, Illinois but grew up in Galveston, Texas. It was quite a change, but one I grew to love! I graduated from Ball High School in 1986 and since then have lived all around the Houston area.
What is your favorite free-time activity?
My favorite free time activity is spending time with my husband and daughter. We have a great relationship and really enjoy each other’s company. I especially love going shopping with my daughter and going out to dinner with my husband.
What do you do to relax when you’re stressed?
I unwind by going out to one of the many wonderful restaurants in The Woodlands area to enjoy a good meal and a drink!
Growing up, what did you want to be?
I always wanted to be in the real estate business. I was blessed to be able to stay home and raise out daughter. Now that she is grown, I am fulfilling my lifetime desire to be a Realtor.
If you could have lunch with a well-known figure (living or not), who would it be and why?
Ronald Reagan. I was younger when he was our president. Being a teen at that time, I didn’t pay much attention to what was going on in the US or the world. I didn’t fully appreciate what he did for our country until I became an adult.
Where is your favorite place to hang out?
I love the beach! I especially love any of the Caribbean Islands, with the white sand and crystal clear blue water.
