About Suzanne L Michaud

Suzanne Michaud is a real estate professional and the Global Luxury Ambassador for Keller Williams Realty International, a firm with nearly 200,000 professionals in over 60 countries. She operates at the intersection of investment discovery, global connectivity, and trusted implementation. Her focus is on strengthening the KW Luxury network and advancing the firm’s value proposition worldwide.

Suzanne is the founder of The Globalist Group, a real estate advisory firm serving NYC and global markets. She brings a differentiated combination of financial acumen, global perspective, and high-touch personalized service to every engagement. Previously, she was a member of the top 1% Levin Kong Team in New York City and held a New Jersey license, helping clients navigate transitions across both geographies.

At the heart of Suzanne’s work is an unwavering belief that exceptional client service is not a skill but a mindset—one that has defined every stage of her career. From anticipating client needs to delivering results that exceed expectations, she views each relationship as a long-term partnership built on trust, empathy, and discretion. This philosophy shapes both her real estate practice and her advisory work with high-net-worth clients and family offices.

Through this platform and her own advisory practice, Suzanne curates a portfolio of U.S. and international opportunities—from urban brownstones and luxury suburban homes to prime estates, heritage vineyards, and private islands. Many of these are discreet off-market opportunities that global investors and family offices would find difficult to reach without intermediaries. Her approach emphasizes the stewardship, attention to detail, and human connection that define world-class service.

Her earlier career in investment banking and credit analysis at Chemical Bank, Lehman Brothers, and Fitch Ratings built the analytical foundation for identifying opportunity, evaluating complex assets, and structuring innovative capital programs. Having lived and worked in New York, London, Brussels, and Sydney, Suzanne brings deep empathy and global perspective to clients navigating relocation, acquisition, and diversification decisions.

Before real estate, Suzanne spent a decade in hospitality, blending her love of service with strategic leadership. After earning her Grand Diplôme from the French Culinary Institute and advanced WSET wine credentials, she founded her own organic take-away and catering business, honing her instinct for anticipating client needs and delivering exceptional results, while translating vision into experience with authenticity and care.

Suzanne holds a B.A. in International Affairs from George Washington University and completed a finance specialization within her MBA at New York University. She is fluent in French and holds dual American-Italian citizenship.
