Susan Newirth

A home provides the setting for many of life’s great moments. In a city as large as Los Angeles, finding the right home and community to raise a family, start a career, invest in, retire to, or simply enjoy life is so important. Susan puts herself in her client’s shoes to help them navigate all the options and decisions that are presented. Her passion for real estate, architecture, design and working with people is what brought her into this business, and the ability to help people realize their real estate goals, whether selling or buying, is what motivates her.

Born and raised in Oklahoma City, Susan moved to Los Angeles in 1986 after graduating from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas with a degree in Film and Television Studies. She had the good fortune to spend a decade working on many iconic films of the 1980s and ’90s. Her time working in real estate has now exceeded her former career in the film business, but the early production managing skills she honed of organization, problem solving, contract negotiation and creativity have been invaluable in her career as a real estate professional. Every deal is different and brings a new set of challenges and opportunities. She utilizes her combined work, leadership and life experiences, along with her integrity, diligence and discretion to make each experience a successful and positive one for her clients.

The most important element in Susan’s life that informs everything else, is her family. The life her husband Charles and she have built together and the two amazing children they raised in Santa Monica fills her with gratitude and joy every day. In addition to her work and family life, she also spent a fulfilling 21 years as an integral part of the Allies for Every Child (formerly Westside Children’s Center) Board of Directors where for two years she served as President of the Board and more than 10 years as the Program Committee Chair, as well as being a founding member and President of the Auxiliary Board. This organization is near and dear to Susan’s heart.

She is grateful to be with Compass where the tenants of integrity, accountability and collaboration are demonstrated on a daily basis between the partners and with their clients.
