For 10 years, Sue harnessed her energy and enthusiasm for educating children at North Shore Nursery School in Beverly Farms, where she built warm relationships with numerous families. When Bob and Sue's son enrolled at Hyde School in Bath, Maine, Sue became fully immersed in the school's Family Education program, eventually creating and developing her own position as Admission Consultant. Sue travelled widely, sharing her passion for the benefits of a character-based education with Hyde School secondary school heads, educational consultants, and families. Bob's 28 dynamic and lightning-paced years at an institutional equity trading desk in Boston, facilitating professional investments via multi-million dollar transactions, has rewarded him with a highly influential career. During those time-demanding years, Bob made the goal of his hard work a comfortable home by the sea, so that he and his wife Sue could take in the views of the ocean each day. After a short time, that goal was realized with the purchase of a lovely seaside residence. Even so, Bob still hustled 12 hours a day, never able to take the time to enjoy the beauty of the coastline, just a block away. Bob left his trading desk in 2008 to finally take time to savor what he had worked so hard for. Year after year, Bob and Sue fell deeper in love with Cape Ann, as they were able to take each day to truly appreciate what seaside living should be and become active members of their community. Over the years, they purchased and sold several beautiful homes, finding some of those transactions challenging. While they were delighted with those new homes, they left each experience "underwhelmed and underserved" from a client perspective. With those experiences in mind and a desire to combine their passions of service and home ownership and investment, Bob and Sue made a commitment to the real estate profession in the effort to assist future clients in their pursuits of their own dream homes. Capitalizing on strengths in the financial arena, Bob is offers guidance with these large investments that making a significant impact on people's lives. When establishing value for each potential purchase, it is second nature to Bob to engage his analytical side to help determine the right move for each family. Sue’s years of experience in helping others has been especially beneficial in guiding each client through each transaction with a warm, personal connection. The McDermotts keenly anticipate their client's needs and go out of their way to provide the level of service that earn client trust and confidence. Bob is a graduate of Southern New Hampshire University, the fastest growing school in the country where he earned degrees in Economics & Finance. Today, he serves as a University trustee. Outdoor lovers at heart, Bob and Sue enjoy all of the splendor of New England while fishing, golfing, skiing, gardening and hiking Ravenswood trails with their German Shorthaired Pointer, Bailey. The McDermotts are proud of their two grown children and reside in the seaside village of Magnolia. Their 29-year marriage speaks of their commitment to each other, their family and the prolonged vision of their business.
