Sue Podany began her real estate career nearly two decades ago. A Balboa Island resident, Sue is passionate about sharing her enthusiasm for life in beautiful Orange County with each and every one of her clients. With extensive knowledge of the local market and expert communication and negotiation skills, it’s no wonder she has become one of the most sought-after agents in Orange County real estate.   

Besides being a seasoned, successful REALTOR®, Sue has been an inspirational and triumphant speaker, trainer, and fitness entrepreneur. Her passion lies in helping others and creating meaningful relationships, which she flawlessly accomplishes in every transaction. Through her experience as an entrepreneur and a worldwide public speaker, Sue developed an inimitable skill set that sets her apart from other real estate professionals. 

Sue’s ability to work with others is her strong suit; she puts her clients’ needs at the forefront to achieve an ideal outcome for all parties. She prides herself on being solution-focused and remaining one step ahead at every turn. Clients benefit immensely from Sue’s expertise in anticipating and resolving issues even before they arise. Sue is a compassionate, giving person who loves knowing she made a difference in someone’s life. Her favorite part of being an agent is the feeling she gets after successfully helping a client make the sale or purchase of a lifetime — and the lasting relationship that develops thereafter.  

A true leader, Sue has always been devoted to giving back to her community whenever an opportunity arises. She is deeply involved in local industry organizations and has served as past president of the Newport Beach Association of REALTORS®, who recently honored her as 2022 REALTOR® of the Year. Sue has also been a California Association of REALTORS® (CAR) traveling director for the past 12 years and has served as the regional representative for Region 32, which comprises the Newport Beach Association of REALTORS®, Orange County REALTORS®, and Laguna Board of REALTORS®. As past president and current member of the Women’s Council of REALTORS® Coastal West, Orange County, Sue has forged invaluable connections that are advantageous to her clients in Southern California and beyond. 

In addition, Sue also holds a Certified International Property Specialist (CIPS) designation and a National Association of REALTORS® Green designation. Her ambition is what drives her forward in each enterprise, maintaining competitiveness with herself, and striving to be the best she can be.  

When Sue isn’t working or giving back to charitable organizations, you will find her staying active, playing golf and tennis, working out, and rollerblading. Among her many accomplishments, she has written two books and plans to continue speaking and writing to inspire others.
