Meet Suzi Dailey

She is the founder of her premiere luxury Real Estate group specializing in Oceanfront properties in Orange County, CA. Providing the utmost in real estate service, Suzi specializes in the California coastline from Laguna Beach, Monarch Beach and San Clemente to Newport Coast and Newport Beach. Drawing upon her experience as owner of a very successful interior design firm servicing Fortune 500 companies and high profile clientele, she later expanded into residential construction and development. With a reputation for professionalism and integrity, Suzi stands apart from other agents because of her design, construction and marketing background. Suzi Dailey has been recognized for consistent high performance. Suzi has been the recipient of multiple awards and honors including the Legend Award, honoring five years of consistent top performance during even the difficult market downturn.

Suzi caters to a highly distinguished clientele from around the world including Brazil, China, Dubai, England, India, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Sweden and Taiwan. Exceedingly professional and discreet, Suzi successfully represents clients from the entertainment and professional sports industries.

Suzi lived two years in Bangladesh and has traveled the world extensively. With educational experience at both the University of Oregon and Stanford University, she later gained experience in the telecommunication world, giving her an appreciation for media and public relations. Suzi has been an active member in her community of Ritz Cove, serving on the Board as President as well as on the architectural committee.

With decades of experience representing some of coastal Orange County's most exceptional homes, Suzi Dailey has built a remarkable career in luxury real estate. Her record includes more than 200 residential transactions, numerous eight-figure sales, and repeated representation in many of the region's most prestigious coastal communities. Specializing in Laguna Beach, Monarch Beach, Dana Point, San Clemente, Newport Coast, and Newport Beach, Suzi combines extraordinary market knowledge, sophisticated sales and marketing expertise, and an intensely personal commitment to her clients.

Her career includes landmark coastal and oceanfront transactions with individual sales approaching $20 million, along with extensive experience in communities such as Ritz Cove, The Strand, and Monarch Beach. Yet Suzi has never defined success simply by sales volume. Her reputation has been built on trust, relationships, tenacity, and an unwavering willingness to do whatever it takes to help her clients achieve their goals.

Tenacity, Design, and Development Expertise

That tenacity is perhaps Suzi's greatest differentiator. She believes luxury real estate requires far more than beautiful marketing and exposure. It requires actively selling the property: understanding what motivates a buyer, anticipating questions, overcoming objections, and finding creative ways to communicate the home's value and lifestyle. No detail is too small and no effort too great when it can make a difference for her client.

Before entering real estate, Suzi founded and operated a successful interior design firm serving Fortune 500 companies and high-profile clientele, later expanding her experience into residential construction and development. Today, her background in design, construction, and marketing gives sellers a valuable perspective on preparing, improving, and positioning a property for maximum impact.

Deep Local Roots and Global Reach

Suzi's expertise is particularly deep in coastal Orange County. A longtime Ritz Cove resident, she served for more than a decade on the community's Board of Directors and Architectural Committee, including as Board President. Her knowledge extends beyond individual homes to the architecture, neighborhoods, resort amenities, coastal considerations, and lifestyle that distinguish the area's most sought-after communities.

Throughout her career, Suzi has also represented clients from across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and the Americas, as well as prominent individuals in entertainment, professional sports, and business. Having lived abroad herself, she understands the importance of communication, discretion, and having a trusted local advocate when managing significant real estate from thousands of miles away.

Two Generations, One Trusted Name — DaileybytheSea

Today, one of the most meaningful chapters of Suzi's career is working alongside her son, Ryan Dailey, as the mother-and-son team behind DaileybytheSea.

Their strengths are distinctly complementary. Suzi brings decades of luxury sales experience, relationships, design expertise, and relentless salesmanship; Ryan brings a modern perspective on marketing, technology, analytics, and buyer psychology developed through years of representing buyers and sellers throughout Orange County.

Together, they offer the experience and sophistication of a leading luxury real estate team with the care, accessibility, and accountability of a family business. Both remain personally involved in their clients' properties and transactions, believing exceptional representation means rolling up their sleeves, mastering every detail, and being relentless advocates for the people who have placed their trust in them.
