Suzy St. Clair
I have been in the business of real estate for 25 years. My varied involvements in both commercial and residential real estate from property management, Association management, green development and sustainable living to residential and land sales, have given me a thorough background to professionally assist my clients.
I took a ten year hiatus from real estate and owned a bookstore/cafe in Sun Valley, Idaho (Richard Dreyfuss, who had always wanted to hang out in his own bookstore, joined me as a partner), was general manager of Borders Book Store in San Francisco and moved to Santa Fe in 1998 to open the Borders Book Store in the Sanbusco/Railyard District.
“The Girls”, my three very wonderful daughters who have all migrated back to California (San Francisco to LA), keep me current, grounded and “cutting edge”. Their “brother” Ketchum, a Welsh Corgi, helps me hold down the fort in Santa Fe.
After completing the opening of Borders and having acquired my California Sales license, my New Mexico Qualifying Broker’s license and Certificate of Property Management along the way, I eagerly returned to the business I enjoy and know so well. I joined David Ater in 1999, Santa Fe Properties in 2003, Santa Fe Realty Partners in 2005 and as of January 2009, we represent Buyers and Sellers, as well as offer property management services under the St. Clair Properties’ brokerage.

I came to Santa Fe, not in a covered wagon, but in a VW Bug. It was the summer of 1973. My own little Manifest Destiny. My Bug broke down on Cerrillos Rd and I never had the heart or desire to leave. I had found my home.
For the past 20 years I have been a bookseller, bookperson, bookstore owner and manager, booklover, book reader, bookworm- you get the idea. My husband, Bob Maurice, and I opened Palace Ave Books and loved all of our 12 years there. When we closed our doors, Borders Books was opening theirs…and that’s when I met Suzy. Suzy hired me as a manager and I worked for Borders Books for 7 years.
My passion for Santa Fe is reflected in most things I do or love. I know the town I live in and am excited to be working in a field that fits my talent for customer service and knowledge of everything Santa Fe.
