Meet Susan

Susan Fixsen has always been an overachiever. Growing up in a family where everyone had a graduate degree nurtured what has become a lifelong, relentless drive to pursue knowledge and excellence. Throughout five diverse careers, including a summer assisting the Seattle Seahawks as an athletic trainer, being a dedicated golfer who also made qualification for the Women’s LPGA Tournament, a California state educator, and serving as an administrator of several Bay Area schools, Susan has always broken records and challenged the status quo.

In 2006, Susan took a step back from educational administration with the strong support of her husband and family to focus on her three children. Never one to stay idle, she got her real estate license the same year, but instead of joining a major brokerage, she flew solo under the auspices of a retired broker. After achieving a successful first year in real estate, Susan retired from her twenty-third year of education to become a full-time real estate agent in 2007, and obtained her Broker’s license in 2011.

Highly competitive and relentlessly focused, Susan has led Pacific Oak Real Estate Services to success through smart, analytical projections, and her team’s dedication to meeting clients’ needs quickly, efficiently, and compassionately. Since 2015, her business has grown 300%, with accolades including 3 straight years of Tom Ferry's RealTrends Top 1.5% of Agents and Teams in the U.S., Top 1% of San Benito County Realtors and Top 3% Real Estate Producer by Santa Clara Association of Realtors, her reputation precedes her.

Even though Susan has her real estate Broker license and over 20 years of experience, she is constantly investing in new training and continuing education to make her a more valuable asset and advisor to his clients. An expert negotiator, Susan knows the nuances that make buying or selling a home in Silicon Valley and beyond different from almost any other area. Susan focuses his process on the needs and goals and dreams of her client, then takes a team approach to make it all happen. She takes the lead on each project but brings in talented and passionate people to provide a bespoke, successful experience for each client.

When not working, you can find Susan on the golf course. A lifelong love of the sport inspired her to give back to her community through golf tournaments, which have raised money for the Parkinson’s Foundation, South County Association of Realtors® Education Foundation, the San Benito County Association of Realtors®, Relay for Life, Leukemia Research, and the Kelly Freitas Memorial Foundation. She also serves as chairman of Growing Hearts Garden Center, a nonprofit that creates jobs and educational opportunities for adults with developmental disabilities. Susan is deeply devoted to her family and loves spending time with her husband and children at their favorite place on earth, South Lake Tahoe.
