Sue Aldrich grew up in New York City and at age twelve she and her family moved to Mallorca, Spain. Sue lived in Spain until starting college. After graduating with a degree in Classical Civilization, Latin and Ancient Greek, from the College of William and Mary in Virginia, Sue moved to Washington, DC where, in addition to working her way up to becoming the advertising production manager at Smithsonian Magazine, she met her husband, Alex.
In the early 90s, Sue and her husband moved to Atlanta when Alex got a job with the 1996 Olympics. In Atlanta Sue moved to advertising sales with Argus Inc., a trade magazine publisher. After moving to Vermont in 1997, she continued her sales profession with Nassau Broadcasting which owns local radio stations WSNO 1450 am, Frank 107.1 and Froggy 100.9 fm, in Central Vermont.
Sue now lives in Montpelier. In addition to her work and family, she is active in the Montpelier community and currently serves as chair of the Montpelier School Board. With triplet boys and youngest girl, Sue really gets around and knows everyone. She enjoys hiking, camping, reading, needlepoint and time with friends.
Along with being energetic, Sue is professionally educated in real estate contracts, conflict resolution, and other aspects of real estate transactions. She is also fluent in Spanish.

Alex Aldrich has lived with his wife, Sue, and their four children in Montpelier, VT, for more than 20 years. Prior to receiving his real estate license, Alex had a 40-year career as an arts administrator, culminating in his 20-year tenure as the director of the Vermont State Arts Council.
In 2011, Alex and Sue purchased the Coldwell Banker Classic Properties franchise (of which Sue is the Managing Broker), and as his engagement in this real estate “side-line” increased over time, he and Sue realized that they were both promoting/selling the same thing: Vermont’s incredible quality of life, including its culture, its beautiful natural resources, and the opportunity to live, raise a family, and/or start a business in one of New England’s most quaint and rural states.
Prior to moving to Vermont, Alex and Sue lived and worked in Atlanta, GA and Washington, DC. Their triplet boys were all born in Atlanta (their daughter is Vermont native) and all four are now in their final years in college. Alex’s work in Atlanta included serving as the business manager of Georgia State University’s Rialto Center for the Performing Arts, director of the Cultural Paralympiad (1996 Atlanta Paralympic Games), and Producer of Music Programs for the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games Cultural Olympiad. In Washington DC, Alex was Executive Director of the Arlington Symphony, and assistant director of the Music Program at the National Endowment for the Arts during the George H. W. Bush administration. He is a 1980 graduate of Harvard College (AB in English and American Literature and Languages) and a 1985 graduate of Yale School of Management (MBA).
Alex enjoys working with wood and stained glass; and even once managed to win the fastest finger competition to get “into the chair” for the October 31, 2000 episode of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” with Regis Philbin.
