Championship Drive + Candid Advice. Welcome to Scottsdale Real Estate with a Little Personality.
Susan Talarico brings more than 25 years of Scottsdale real estate experience, sharp negotiation skills, and a refreshing willingness to tell clients what they need to hear. A former brokerage owner originally from Buffalo, New York, she traded lake-effect snow for Arizona sunshine in 1999 and has been helping clients find their place in the desert ever since.
Her expertise spans high-end homes, lifestyle properties, ski lake communities, and land. Susan pairs thoughtful strategy with distinctive marketing, believing every property deserves a compelling story and every client deserves a real conversation.
Her competitive spirit has an impressive résumé of its own. A National Champion roller skater, she went on to coach two National Champions and volunteer with Special Olympics. She also became a New York State Women’s Jump Champion in water skiing and a World Champion swivel skier. Apparently, a quiet afternoon was never the goal.
That discipline carries into her work through preparation, persistence, and a steady focus on her clients’ interests, delivered with candor and well-timed humor.
At home, Susan shares life with her car-enthusiast husband, motocross-loving twin sons, and rescue terriers Maggie and Homer, who contribute nothing to the mortgage but remain firmly in charge.
An adoption advocate and devoted dog lover, Susan believes life is too short for bland marketing, bad staging, or unnecessary “Reply All.” Ask her about Arizona real estate or Jack Russell Terriers, and plan to stay awhile.
