Suzy Minken, Neighbor

Suzy Minken brings a design-forward, strategic approach to real estate that helps sellers maximize value and buyers envision possibility. With more than a decade of proven success in New Jersey and now serving Northern Virginia, she offers both deep market insight and a fresh perspective.

Having relocated to Virginia to be closer to family, Suzy understands the emotional and logistical complexities of moving and guides her clients through those transitions with clarity and confidence. As part of the boutique Peers Residential team of Compass in McLean, she crafts marketing strategies that go beyond listing a home, curating each property’s story to capture attention, inspire buyers, and drive results.

Her experience spans luxury properties, new construction, and investor-driven renovations. She collaborates with builders, architects, and designers to enhance both aesthetics and long-term value. Drawing on her background in corporate consulting, an MBA from NYU’s Stern School of Business, and a B.S. from Cornell University, Suzy combines business acumen with creative vision, a rare combination that makes her a sought-after advisor.

Recognized as a published voice on real estate and design trends, Suzy’s insights have been featured in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Barron’s, and more. Clients are drawn to her engaging, intuitive, and highly strategic personal style, which makes the real estate process feel both professional and authentic. With strong communication and a keen eye for detail and aesthetics, she ensures every client feels supported and empowered to make well-informed decisions.

Originally from New York and now licensed in both New Jersey and Virginia, Suzy brings a unique perspective to every transaction. Her background in Feng Shui and home staging design adds an extra layer of expertise, helping sellers present their homes with balance, beauty, and buyer appeal. When she’s not guiding clients or spending time with her new grandbaby, Suzy enjoys staying active at the gym, playing pickleball, and learning golf. She proudly serves Vienna, Oakton, McLean, and surrounding Northern Virginia communities.
