ABOUT SUE RUDDEN

Sue Rudden was born and raised in Washington, D.C. and the suburbs of Silver Spring and Laurel, Maryland. Sue’s technical background started in the law field as an administrative assistant to a group of lawyers specializing in the fields of Probate, Domestic Relations and Injury Law. After 5 years of handling all of the office affairs, Sue decided to take a sabbatical and start a family. She has two daughters and now two beautiful granddaughters as well. While becoming a domestic engineer, Sue started an exciting hobby which became a home business. Sue made specialty cakes, birthday, anniversary and even wedding cakes. On any one weekend, she could have 5 cakes on her dining room table ready for pickup.

When the girls were both in school full time, Sue entered the workforce again and became involved in the real estate field in a “behind the scene kind of way.” Sue was Office Manager and Administrative Assistant for Robert Glaser, a prominent Architect designing specialty remodeling and residential enhancements in the Washington, DC, Maryland and Virginia localities.

Presented with the opportunity to be the Administrative Assistant to the President of a large Water and Amusement Park in Largo, Maryland, she accepted the position at Wild World Amusement Park. The job entailed coordinating and ensuring that Park directives were carried out and followed, and that patrons were always the most important part of running an amusement facility.

She returned to the real estate field when she started employment with Marathan Title in Laurel, Maryland. For 4 years Sue was a Processing Officer. Marathan settled as many as 300-400 settlements a month.

One November in 1988, when Jerry had a 5 day Comdex business trip to Las Vegas, Sue went with him to enjoy Vegas and visit her in-laws. After scouting the new housing developments along the Green Valley/Warm Springs corridor, she and Jerry were convinced that the market was right; and they purchased a house in Henderson before returning to Maryland and their teenage daughters.

Sue’s first employment in Las Vegas was on the Strip as Administrative Assistant to what was then one of the most successful baseball card operations in the United States. Over time she also became Store Manager serviced clients in Japan, Australia and other parts of the world. During her time with Smokey’s, she was afforded the opportunity to meet Mickey Mantle, Frank Thomas, Scott Erickson, Don Larsen, Larry Johnson, Tony Gwynn and Mike Tyson. Sue’s favorite baseball player is Cal Ripken, Jr. and she and Jerry have traveled to California several times to see the legend play and meet him and get his autograph. During the weekends when Sue is not thinking about work, she enjoys hunting for Cal Ripken cards. Another hobby of Sue’s is singing in her synagogue’s choir.

After the baseball card industry slump and the demise of the company, Sue was forced to look for another career path. Sue became a Loan Officer for Fidelity National Title in California working with clients all over the United States that used the internet to obtain mortgage information and secure a loan.

Since Sue loves working with people and computers, and is so detail oriented, it was easy for her to obtain leads and process all of her own deals. The experience she obtained from the mortgage side of real estate has helped her in the transactions that she closes for Sean and the team today. Sue worked for a short time for a car dealership in Las Vegas generating customers via online internet contacts, and enhanced her people skills negotiating sales with inquiring customers.

She met Sean Brown through a mutual friend, and joined the United Group in January of 2004. Sue has enjoyed using all of her technical knowledge and people skills to help coordinate the successful closing of the United Group’s real estate transactions. Sue presently has hands on and contact with the client, the opposing agent, the mortgage company and the title company for all of the team’s various transactions.

Sue says working with Sean Brown has enabled her to gain great knowledge of the real estate field, and has allowed her the privilege of meeting many interesting clients, agents and business professionals from all walks of life who enjoy investing in the real estate market whether it be to enjoy a new home or make money on an investment.
