About
Originally from Boston, Massachusetts, I relocated to the West Coast after college in search of a warmer climate—and found the perfect fit in Northern California.
With more than 35 years of experience as a Real Estate Broker, I have worked across all facets of the industry, including new construction, resale homes, property management, and lending.
I have successfully sold over 1,200 homes and continue to genuinely enjoy the work I do. When you are passionate about your profession, it never feels like work.
I have been a proud Rossmoor advocate for over a decade. After moving my mother and her best friend to Rossmoor seven years ago, I quickly became an enthusiastic ambassador for the community. Two and a half years ago, I purchased a home here myself. I live here—and I truly love it.
My philosophy is simple: life is about relationships and surrounding yourself with people who care about you. I believe in building strong, trusted relationships with my clients, as every real estate transaction is a shared journey that requires communication, patience, and mutual trust. I am an attentive listener and an over-communicator, and I view each transaction as a true team effort.
Beyond real estate, I have been a dedicated volunteer with Make-A-Wish for over 30 years, am a Certified Doula (Labor Coach), a former board member of Project Hearth, and a volunteer at Glide Memorial Church in San Francisco. I also serve as a Deputy Marriage Commissioner and have had the honor of officiating more than 300 weddings.
I would be delighted to help you make a real estate decision that can meaningfully enhance your quality of life. Please feel free to contact me at 510-914-0529 or susandproctor@gmail.com. I look forward to working with you.

Sue Proctor is an exceptional realtor. Much more than just a highly experienced professional, Sue worked tirelessly to find the best house for my needs and lifestyle.
She is also a life coach, and really tried to understand my goals and helped me to learn what would work best for me.
Once she understood my tastes she found the perfect house with the perfect view. She very thoroughly and patiently went through all the disclosures to ensure I understood what the purchase entailed and work needed. She showed me many comparables to help me understand why this house was so special.
When this ultimately did not result in a sale in the competitive Bay Area market, Sue was completely gracious and remained to help me find another.
I never worked with a better realtor.

“Sue is very dedicated, pays close attention to detail and is extremely client focused.”
Sue Proctor represented me for my recent purchase of a new home in Rossmoor. I’m very happy with the support she provided, and the complex transaction came off without a hitch. Sue is very dedicated, pays close attention to detail and is extremely client focused. These qualities along with her in-depth knowledge and experience make her an excellent choice. Five Stars!

Sue Proctor was my Real Estate Broker in two separate transactions: One was helping to sell my family home in Southern California from a very complicated Trust in 2022. The dilapidated property, with a great view, received 6 offers and sold for all cash, $175,000 over asking price and closed in 2 weeks!
The second time was when she helped me to purchase a Rossmoor condo. In both situations, Sue stayed on top of every detail, and her attention to detail and immediate response to any issue helped to ease the anxiety that comes with every real estate purchase. Sue has extensive real estate experience, in a wide variety of transactions, and is both an expert on Rossmoor real estate, and a resident herself. I highly recommend her!

Sue Proctor is the best realtor I have ever worked with. She spent endless hours helping me to understand the ins and outs of Rossmoor and the housing market that best suited my spatial needs and budget. She is a great listener, answering my questions quickly and honestly. She helped me to get the best deal possible, including working with the listing realtor and advising me on the next steps toward an equitable negotiation. Sue referred me to other professionals, including the home inspector who was impartial and thorough. Sue surpassed all of my expectations with my condo buying experience, consistently offering her unprecedented support and exuberance in me becoming a welcome resident in Rossmoor. I am very grateful for the opportunity to work with Sue.

Working with Sue was a pleasure. She was always friendly, caring and helpful. She was always on top of all issues and very good at resolving any problems. She walked me through the whole process of finding and buying a new home. She referred me to very good Loan and Title companies and easy people to work with in getting a loan, title insurance and going through and closing escrow in a short amount of time. Plus taking care of any problems in a timely manner throughout the whole process and setting up dealing with appointments with a building inspector, a termite inspector, a cleaning lady, a carpet cleaner, the Rossmoor HOA, Security, and more. What a lifesaver she is. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

It is with pleasure that we would like to share our experience of working with you to find a home in the Rossmoor community!
As you are well aware, the process of looking for a new home is generally a stressful one. Big decisions, especially when they involve more than one move, can be chaotic and stressful. Finding the right balance between hearing and understanding the needs and wants of those of us in that circumstance can be challenging to those of you in this industry. We want to express that our experience of you as a service provider was exceptional in the following ways:
1. Your listened and asked questions to make sure you understood what our needs were in all areas.
2. You were respectful of those needs and did your best to show us homes that you thought we would like.
3. You made yourself available to answer any and all questions, no matter how small or large. Your assurances that we were welcome to call or text at any time, meant a great deal to us!
4. You went above and beyond to ensure that the move itself would be as smooth as possible.
We are grateful that in this process you have been the person that made this move as simple, clear and comfortable as possible. It is our hope that we can encourage friends and family who may be considering a move to Rossmoor that, based on our experience; they contact you directly!

I had the pleasure of working with Sue when I decided to look for a home for my parents. I was lucky enough to find someone who was knowledgable about the area, helpful with my elderly parents and made sure the experience was easy from beginning to end. They purchased a home in Rossmoor, have been there a couple of months and couldn’t be happier. Sue has helped immensely with the transition they made from their home in Folsom to Walnut Creek, making sure they know all about the area and amenities available to them. She was also instrumental in getting a dishwasher replaced through their home warranty and following up after the transaction. She continues to be a source of information for them as they are getting used to their new home. I can honestly say she is the best realtor I have ever worked with and would highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home.

Sue’s intimate knowledge of the Rossmoor real estate market was very important in enabling me to conclude the purchase of my apartment within a month from start to finish. She knew exactly how to handle every stage of the process and gave me a high level of confidence that everything would be in place by the time it was needed.
Last but not least, Sue patiently provided me with the support and compassion I greatly appreciated at a time that was emotionally vulnerable for me.
Sue pays great attention to detail and is excellent at what she does. And did I say she’s a wonderful fun person to be around! I would recommend her to anyone.

We had the pleasure of working with Sue Proctor from Rossmoor Realty, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Our property at 1405 Ptarmigan had been on the market for over six months with no success. After deciding to make a change, we hired Sue, and within one month of her listing it, she had our home sold. Her approach was professional, thorough, and proactive, and she truly went above and beyond to market our home effectively.
We were located in Maine during the entire process, so having Sue on the ground in Rossmoor was absolutely invaluable. She coordinated everything from furniture staging, cleaning, and maintenance, making sure our home was ready for potential buyers. Sue knows the Rossmoor community inside and out, and her deep understanding of the area helped position our home perfectly in the market.
Sue’s communication was excellent throughout the entire process, keeping us informed and offering valuable advice every step of the way. She was also incredibly responsive, answering our questions quickly and making us feel confident in her expertise. It was clear from the beginning that Sue genuinely cares about her clients, and her knowledge of the local market in Rossmoor helped us navigate the sale smoothly.
We are so grateful for Sue’s hard work and dedication, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell in the area.
Thank you, Sue, for making what could have been a stressful experience much easier and more successful.
