Suze Cumming
CEO & Founder,
The Nature of Real Estate

For nearly four decades, Suze Cumming has been a force in the real estate industry—first as a top-producing agent, then as a coach, trainer, and visionary leader. As the founder of The Nature of Real Estate, she has helped thousands of REALTORS® develop high-level negotiation skills, build sustainable businesses, and navigate an ever-evolving market with confidence and integrity.

A Passion for Excellence

Suze’s approach is not for the faint of heart. Her coaching is rooted in excellence, ethics, and authenticity—qualities that have set her apart throughout her career. She believes that real estate is not just a business but a profession that demands skill, strategic thinking, and a deep commitment to service. Her unwavering dedication has earned her a reputation as a trusted mentor to high-performing agents and teams across Canada.


The Journey: From Sales to Leadership

Suze began her real estate career in Toronto in 1985 at just 21 years old, closing 25 transactions in her first year. She quickly rose to the top, thriving in the competitive central Toronto market while balancing the demands of being a single mother to a daughter with significant health challenges. Her ability to succeed in both business and life taught her the power of resilience, strategic thinking, and building meaningful client relationships.

After years as a leading agent, Suze transitioned into coaching and training, recognizing a gap in the industry for high-quality, principle-driven education. She founded The Nature of Real Estate in 2007, combining her expertise in real estate, negotiation, and human nature to elevate the industry.

As a master negotiator, prolific blogger, and spirited speaker, Suze challenges conventional industry thinking. She is deeply invested in the future of real estate and the professionals who shape it.

A Life of Adventure & Learning

Beyond real estate, Suze is an adventurer, an explorer, and a passionate advocate for nature. From backcountry skiing to offshore sailing, she seeks challenges that push her limits and expand her perspective. She believes that syncing with the rhythms of nature offers profound lessons for business and life.

At her core, Suze is a teacher and a learner, dedicated to helping REALTORS® build businesses they are proud of while making a meaningful impact in their communities. Her journey continues to evolve, but her mission remains clear: to elevate the practice of real estate through knowledge, ethics, and fearless leadership.
