Born and raised on Oahu, Hawaii, Sandy moved to the Washington Metropolitan region to work with USAID, then went into the private sector working for an international luxury hotel group and a prominent commercial developer. For 30 years, Sandy has successfully listed and sold significant properties using exclusive strategies that advocate for her clients. A hard-working, results-driven, and analytical approach combined with strong communication, patience, and a friendly disposition are the characteristics that best describe Sandy’s strong dedication to her clients.
Sellers have Sandy’s full commitment to helping them obtain the highest possible price with the terms that best fit their situation. She creates a custom plan that cost-effectively positions a client’s property to look its best, uses real-time data to suggest a list price, maximizes property exposure or employs discreet off-MLS marketing strategies, and creates win-win negotiations.
As a Buyer’s agent, Sandy’s goal is to help her clients find their dream home, second home, or the perfect investment property within the parameters they set. Most importantly, she advises them on the key components of a successful offer, providing them with current and relevant sales information to help them select an offer price that is the sweet spot between too low and too high. Always listening to her clients and their priorities, including timelines, Sandy works closely and intensely with them to find suitable properties in a short period of time, or at a more leisurely pace, but always with a promise to visit and make desired properties a priority.
Sandy is in constant communication during the entire journey, keeping Sellers up-to-date with the process of the property’s marketing, negotiating offers, and bringing a contract to closing. She guides them through the challenging ups and downs of selling their asset. Sandy wants to make the home selling process as smooth and stress-free as possible, and this takes an experienced and savvy agent to get them to the finish line.
Among the awards and designations Sandy has received for her production in sales volume and quality service are: Northern Virginia Association of Realtors Lifetime Top Producer, Top 50% of Realtors in the US, and Who’s Who in Real Estate. Yet the recognition she is most proud of comes from the referrals she receives from happy clients and the number of returning clients she has served over the years.
