A proud Midwesterner, Susan Tetrault has been a trusted name in Chicago real estate since 1987. With a career spanning more than 35 years, she brings a wealth of expertise in new construction, single-family homes, condominiums, apartment buildings, and land acquisitions throughout Chicago and its northern suburbs. Her professional achievements include over $?250 million in career sales* and numerous accolades as a multi-million dollar producer.
Known for her meticulous attention to detail, deep market knowledge, and unwavering commitment to her clients, Susan offers an exceptional level of service rooted in professionalism and integrity. "Susan's attention to detail, her ability to build lasting relationships, a strong work ethic and product knowledge enable her to provide clients with outstanding service. We are very lucky to have Susan here," says Thad Wong, co-founder of @properties.
Susan's longevity in the business is a testament to her resilience, adaptability, and love for the industry. "To be in real estate this long and successful, you have to love it—and I do," says Tetrault. "Every day presents a new challenge, and I thrive on matching my clients' needs with deep insight into the market." Her positive outlook, collaborative spirit, and commitment to broker-to-broker relationships have built a strong foundation of trust throughout the real estate community.
Susan is well known for uncovering opportunities others might miss—often identifying properties that are not yet listed on the MLS. She has cultivated invaluable relationships with attorneys, lenders, inspectors, and staging professionals, ensuring each transaction is smooth, efficient, and successful from beginning to end.
Certified as both a Social Media Expert (CSM) and a Certified Negotiating Expert (CNE), Susan is a member of the Chicago Association of REALTORS® and the National Association of REALTORS®. Her high-profile presence has included multiple appearances on HGTV's House Hunters—a testament to her confidence and charisma in front of the camera. "If you're buying a home with me, you just might end up on television!" she says with a smile.
Beyond real estate, Susan is passionate about giving back. She actively supports charitable organizations and is especially proud of her involvement with Concordia Place. A Chicago resident since 1983, she currently lives in the Old Irving Park neighborhood and has called many of the city's communities home—providing her with a firsthand understanding of the area's diverse character and charm.
When she's not negotiating deals or exploring new listings, Susan enjoys cooking and discovering the city's newest restaurants with friends. Her greatest joy, however, is family—especially her new role as "Oma" to her granddaughter, born to her daughter Danielle.
Once you become Susan's client, you're a client for life.
