About Us

I’m someone who believes in doing things the right way. Owning my own business and working with my family and people I trust allows me to do just that.

I’ve always been self-employed. There’s a real strength in being able to decide what we stand for. For us that’s transparency, being true to our values, and having the freedom to express who we are as people.

I established Susa Guhl Partners in 2017 having returned to Nelson from Auckland, however, my real estate career began here in Nelson nearly 30 years ago.

Back then I was a determined single Mum of three juggling multiple jobs to make ends meet. I had a vision and a burning desire to work hard and create a good living so that my family could thrive.

I learnt the real estate ropes here in Nelson. I had some positive senior mentors but also witnessed things about the industry that I didn’t like and wanted to change for the better. Those were important early lessons that I am still mindful of today.

After meeting my late partner Marc we collaborated in business for many years, operating as part of a national real estate organisation together.

We always knew the kind of work culture we wanted to create and the kind of real estate professionals we wanted to be – not typical, always striving to be innovative, setting high standards for ourselves, and being the kind of people that we ourselves we want to deal with and would want to recommend to our own friends and family.
