Suzy Woodward
Broker
Suzy Woodward has been in the general real estate market since 1997 and has been the top selling Broker in the area for most years since —all of which have been spent in the mountains of south-central Colorado and specifically South Fork and Creede. She was a Texas transplant in 1985 and has lived and loved the South Fork / Creede areas ever since.
Suzy received a Bachelor’s degree in wildlife management in 1982 and a Master’s degree in wildlife science in 1985 and was the first scientist in Texas to document Mule Deer x White-tailed deer hybrids. She married Brent Woodward, the District Wildlife Manager in Creede (they met when he checked her hunting license) where she helps with various aspects of wildlife management as a volunteer. She is an avid bow hunter, fly fisherwoman, and also enjoys hiking, team penning, team roping, cross-country skiing, and trail riding with her husband. The two of them enjoy all outdoor activities and are active in their local church activities. She has extensive knowledge in the hunting and fishing worlds and the intricacies of the area hunting units and laws, as well as the local wildlife species and behaviors. Suzy was a Volunteer EMT for 13 years in South Fork and she has also been on the South Fork Fire Rescue Board of Directors since its inception in 2013. Before her real estate career, she designed and promoted a line of ladies hunting clothing sold by Cabela’s under her name “Suzy Smith Outdoor Sportswear” and was also a member of many hunting pro staffs where she worked to promote women in the hunting fields.
After obtaining her general real estate license in 1997, Suzy joined the Team Murphy group in the spring of 2012. Eventually, the Murphys moved on to Ranch Real Estate with M4 Ranch Group and Suzy purchased Team Murphy Realty in 2021 to continue general real estate listings and sales of vacant land, homes, commercial real estate, and ranches as the employing Broker. She has recently been joined by Michael and Sandy Murphy who operate the Team Murphy Realty Lake City, Colorado office, and will be joined by another Broker in the South Fork office in the summer of 2023.
Her recipe for being successful in Real Estate is 1) to have a moral compass 2) to work hard 3) have integrity and always be honest.
