In early 1983, Susan moved from her home in northern Virginia to Chicago, Illinois to join New York Life Insurance Company as an appraiser covering a 12-state territory. In October 1984, Susan decided to move back closer to home, and relocated to North Carolina where she joined John McCracken & Associates, Inc. She earned the Appraisal Institute's MAI designation in the Spring of 1987.

From the beginning, Susan's concentration has been commercially oriented, specializing in large institutional properties including, but not limited to, shopping centers, business parks, apartment complexes, subdivisions, office and industrial buildings, and vacant land across the United States. Clients at that time were primarily large life insurance companies, pension funds, syndicators, and private investors. Since the mid-1990s, Susan's concentration has been eminent domain appraisals for highway and public utility acquisitions.

Susan is also very active in the Appraisal Institute, serving on various committees at the state-wide chapter level of the North Carolina Appraisal Institute, serving over 650 members.
