Getting to know Suzanne Merrick

Suzanne Merrick brings a wealth of experience and local knowledge to your real estate team. Raised in Eugene, she has longtime family ties to Central Oregon. Suzanne’s family purchased a home in Sunriver in 1976 and has since enjoyed the Resort base camp as a jumping off point for her Central Oregon adventures.

After graduating from the University of Oregon with a Leisure Studies degree, Suzanne started her career as a Tennis Professional, teaching in Florida at Amelia Island Plantation, then spending 15 years on Maui teaching at the Kapalua Tennis Garden, Maui Marriott and The Hyatt Regency Maui in Kaanapali. In 2002 she moved to Bend and began her career in Real Estate. She spent 9 years working at Sunriver Realty with her parents, learning from their years of experience as Financial Advisors, Escrow Officers and Real Estate Brokers. In 2011, after her parents retired, Suzanne joined The Garner Group. Although she's felt very fortunate to have had incredible experiences throughout her life, the thing she's most proud of is being the mother to her two kids. Sierra and Jake were born on Maui, raised in Bend and are two of the most amazing people you'll ever meet! Sierra lives in Berlin, Germany and Jake is in Portland...and they're all very thankful for facetime!

Suzanne currently lives in Valhalla Heights, an older neighborhood in NW Bend with large lots and an abundance of pine trees. In her free time, when she's not tending to her garden or playing pickleball with friends and neighbors on her backyard court, you can find her skiing, paddleboarding, e-biking to her favorite Breweries, Outdoor Concerts, and Farmer’s Markets, or attending any Central Oregon activity that allows her to bring her dogs, Bette Davis (Golden Retriever/ Husky mix) and Jake, (English Retriever).

Suzanne’s successful career as a Real Estate Broker stems from her vast life experiences, the love of her community, and her easy to work with attitude. She understands the very personal nature of this business and takes great pride in helping her clients navigate through transactions as stress-free as possible, while negotiating the best price and terms possible. Suzanne would love to work with you to help you find your next home or help you sell the home you’re currently in so you can move on to your next adventure!
