Susan Gitt

Susan Gitt graduated from the University of Missouri-St. Louis, with a degree in Special Education, graduated in 1973 and worked in the school system for six years. She then pursued various careers, including co-owning Horns Haberdashery, a fine traditional men's and women's clothing store in her hometown of Clayton, Missouri, for 11 years. After that, she became the Ralph Lauren eyewear representative for the state of Missouri, where, during her three-year tenure, she ranked as the top salesperson in the United States territory.

​

Following this, Susan transitioned to a management position in her family business, Schultz Company, which manufactured and sold lawn and garden products globally. When the company was sold to United Industries in 2000, she briefly retired, but retirement did not suit her. Her husband, who had been involved in all aspects of commercial real estate since graduating from college, saw an opportunity to add a division to his business, focusing primarily on triple-net properties, in 2000.

​

Eager for a new challenge, Susan returned to the workforce and co-founded Westwood Net Lease Advisors with her husband, Jeff Gitt. Together, they helped clients buy and sell triple-net properties across the nation. Under her leadership, Westwood became one of the largest boutique 1031 exchange firms in the industry. In 2008, Susan obtained her Series 63 and Series 22 securities licenses, enabling her to better assist 1031 clients and cash investors.

​

She continues to work in the securities field through Great Point Capital Advisors, where she enjoys finding solutions for her clients. Known for her tremendous patience, Susan educates her clients throughout the process and provides various solutions that focus on preserving capital, generating steady income, and potential future growth. As a result, many of her clients have referred her to their family and friends and have reinvested in other products. Susan makes friends wherever she goes! She has since retired from Westwood and joined Gitt Realty Services LLC, where she has resumed her real estate practice and continues her work in the securities business.
