MILWAUKEE'S LUXURY LEADER, SUZANNE POWERS

By Jessica Flint | Photographs by Sara Stathas for WSJ

I launched my real estate career in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 2003, after stepping away from a high-powered corporate position in the medical device industry. With a background in Fortune 50 corporate management, I brought a unique skill set to real estate — one specifically suited for executive relocation, physician moves, and luxury home sales throughout Milwaukee’s North Shore and Ozaukee County.

My very first sale was a $650,000 listing—my neighbor’s home—which I sold in just one day. That moment changed my life and set the stage for what would become one of the most successful independent real estate brokerages in Wisconsin.

My journey wasn’t traditional. I didn’t inherit a book of business or ride the coattails of a big franchise name. Instead, I leaned into the skills I had developed in the corporate world: strategic planning, negotiation, leadership, and relentless customer focus. These became the foundation for my real estate practice and, later, the company I would build.

Today, I am recognized as one of Wisconsin’s top-producing real estate agents, specializing in luxury homes, lakefront properties, and corporate relocation across communities like Whitefish Bay, Shorewood, Mequon, Fox Point, Bayside, and River Hills.

In 2011, after years of outperforming industry standards, I made a bold move — I opened my own firm, Powers Realty Group in Shorewood, WI . My goal was to create a boutique real estate company that would exceed client expectations in every way — service, marketing, negotiation, and results.

I built this company from the ground up — with no safety net — driven by grit, vision, and a passion for doing real estate differently. And it worked. Powers Realty Group quickly became a go-to name in luxury real estate across Metro Milwaukee, built on local expertise, personalized service, and unmatched sales performance.

I believe that availability, communication, and results are what set great Realtors apart. I’ve built my business on being present and fully committed to every buyer and seller I work with. Whether you’re relocating for work, upsizing or downsizing, I take the time to understand your goals and make them happen.

The Powers Realty team is hand-selected — made up of top-performing agents and dedicated professionals who reflect the values I built this company on: excellence, integrity, innovation, and service.

We’re not just another brokerage — we’re a trusted local brand that consistently outperforms large franchises. And the numbers prove it.
