Sissy Zimmerman

A native Texan, Sissy grew up in Houston, the third of five children. After graduation from the University of Texas at Austin, Sissy taught elementary school in the Houston area before pursuing her real estate career. Sissy moved to Alexandria in the 1988 and quickly expanded her network of Texas connections, college friends and Old Town neighbors. To Sissy, everyone is an old friend or a soon-to-be friend. Looking out for friends is a personal philosophy that runs deep for Sissy. She has been a longtime board member and advocate for the Washington Chapter of St. John's Community Services, an organization that serves people with disabilities. Come Summer, you will find Sissy commuting to her favorite place, Watch Hill, Rhode Island, where she enjoys the company of longtime friends and swimming in the chilly Atlantic waters.
