REAL ESTATE
We got to know Susan through interior design work she did for our existing house several years ago. We were very pleased with her so when we decided the time had come for us to move choosing her as our realtor was an easy decision. We weren’t disappointed. She’s easy to work with, pays attention to detail and the purchase went exactly as planned. We would highly recommend Susan.

Susan is a wonderful Realtor. She helped me find my perfect home and was always available when I needed her. She handled all the hiccups that came up with my home search with ease and grace. She also has a great eye for design and could help me see potential in many of the spaces we saw. I feel lucky that I was able to work with such a hard working and sharp Realtor.

We first met Susan several years ago when she provided interior design services for our Elbow Valley Home Renovation. We were really happy with the finished design and enjoyed working with her so we asked her to help us find and purchase our new home in the inner city. During the process she was very professional, paid attention to detail and was always available, day or night. She was a great Realtor to work with and we appreciated her humble character! We would highly recommend Susan to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.

Susan was recommended to us during the pre-sale process of our house by our Real Estate Agent as a Professional Stager. It was inspiring to watch Susan walk through the space and think concepts into existence. Her ideas elevated the design of our space so entirely; we questioned why we were selling the house in the first place.
The staging process was such a success, as soon as our house was listed, we had showings lined up and accepted an offer within 24 hours. I am convinced the staging process was a majority factor in the astonishingly quick sale of our house, especially in this market, and especially when similar houses in the area had been listed for months.
Susan’s strong conceptual skills, passion for design and acumen for staging combined with her creative spirit are a real gift. I would recommend her services to anyone and highly advocate the exploitation of her talents if you are attempting to sell a house in this market. We’re planning to hire her to decorate our next house when we buy in the future.

A friend suggested we contact Susan to help us with our main floor renovation. We are so glad we did!! She helped us with a new space plan for our main floor and then worked with us to bring some of the design elements together. Susan was a pleasure to work with and was available at all times to help with big or small decisions. She came to our house late one evening (last minute notice) to help us decide on hardware for our kitchen cabinets. Her knowledge of all aspects of a renovation (space planning, lighting, design, timelines, etc.) was top notch and I would not recommend working with anybody else. All of her suggestions turned out to be perfect and we are so happy with our new main floor and kitchen. We couldn’t have done it without Susan’s expertise.

We have worked with Susan Rust on numerous occasions. She has done two complete home designs for us within a 15-year period. Both builds were high end projects complete with consult on decor and finishing. We found Susan to be extremely knowledgeable and easy to work with. She has a high degree of professionalism and yet maintains a personal touch. Since our two major builds Susan has been available for consults on updates to the interior and exterior. We would recommend Susan without reservation.

Susan Rust is an individual who works with incredible integrity, thoughtfulness, and attention to detail. Her designs are both beautiful and functional. Since the beginning of the design process, Susan was a careful listener. She ensured that my office space was used efficiently without compromising the specific functional constraints required for my well being and without sacrificing the ambiance I wanted to create in my optical showroom. I can see how comfortable my patients feel by the amount of time they linger and casually talk to my staff. I believe her design choices will endure aesthetically and functionally as my practice grows.
I consider myself fortunate to have found Susan and for her to have chosen my project. She went well above and beyond her responsibilities during a difficult time for me. There are few individuals that have the ability and fortitude to positively affect another person’s life in such a way during their career. I highly recommend Susan Rust as an Interior Designer, especially to those who are also thoughtful individuals and have a design dream they want realized!

I met Susan through a referral for the good work that she did installing blinds at my sister’s house. Susan designed and managed the renovation of my condo, including the kitchen, living room, bedrooms, and bathrooms. Susan has an easygoing personality, so it was very easy working with her and making decisions with her. She listened carefully to my requirements. Her design was personalized and functional and included my necessities and preferences. Susan made the effort to obtain the best quality, functionality and beauty within my budget. The final appearance of the condo was awesome. When I decided to sell, it was bought by the first person that viewed it, in less than a week. I am highly satisfied with Susan’s work and have requested her professional help to improve the appearance of my new condo.
