“YOUR FRONT DOOR IS OPEN!!” 😝 I get this random call 7 years ago from the lady across the street from my listing in McQueen. Apparently my seller’s tenant left the front door wide open and so this “neighbourhood watch” Good Samaritan across the street called my sign to let me know. Didn’t get her name. But I saved her number in my phone as “McQueen neighbourhood watch / grey house purple door” 🏡 dropped a gift card off along with my book on home staging for sellers, as a thank you. Thought to myself “maybe she’ll give me a call to sell one day…” 😂 well… 7 years later, I get a random vm from a number saved in my phone. 📲 “…grey house. Purple door…” I call her right back “hey! It’s me! Just missed your call. How’s that purple door?” She laughs. “It’s yellow now! Wow you have a good memory!” (Nope: I cheated and saved it in my contacts lol). I get her name. We set a time for a Consult. She totally gets the EmpowerProcess The Right Perspective ✅ The Right Plan ✅ The Right Preparation ✅ The Right Professionals ✅ and we list her home…And then it sells! Despite the unfinished basement. Despite some work that needs doing. Despite some things that came up during inspection. And despite the fact another “area agent” said she’d sell for $70,000+ LESS than what we landed at AFTER negotiating post-inspection. Super stoked for TeamChaiTea, and honoured to help her max out her home sale and move on to her next phase 🙏🏽💕

Sandy here! This month marks 10 beautiful years in real estate for me… and honestly, I’m feeling all the feelings 🥹

I put together a short 2.55-minute video filled with so many of the incredible humans who’ve been part of this journey. I really hope you take a moment to watch it. Not everyone made it into the montage (you know who you are, my wonderfully camera-shy people 😄), but please know this: every single one of you has left a mark on me.

I’m going to get a little sappy here, because this milestone means more than I can properly put into words. This career has never just been about houses for me. It’s always been about people, stories, trust, and connection. And I’ve been lucky enough to be surrounded by the very best.

To my broker, Raquel & Lisa, and the amazing agents in my office and industry: your support, guidance, and camaraderie have meant everything. This business can be wild, unpredictable, and occasionally humbling. I learn something every day from you all. Thank you.

And then there’s my business partner, Justin. We’ve been through it 😅 From big wins to those “well, that escalated quickly” situations that keep things interesting 😄

Fun fact: Real Estate for me actually started with what I lovingly call my “midlife crisis.” (I've had a few...) I was ready to sell the condo and the plan was to quit my (then current) job and run off to a quiet lake with a random plot of land and fly-in-and-out for work and just enjoy...nobody and nothing. Hahahaha! (I was going through some stuff...)

Instead, Justin invited me into the office to talk it through… and somewhere in that conversation, he saw something in me. He asked me to join his team and that moment completely changed the direction of my life.

Not going to lie… I still think about that lake lot on the hard days!!! LOL.

Sounds corny but the truth is this is where my heart is. With people. With real estate. With all of you.

So thank you. For trusting me, supporting me, referring me, cheering me on, and being part of these last 10 years. I don’t take a single moment of it for granted.

(The video is a little slower and more heartfelt… it just felt right, and true to the gratitude I have for all of you)

❤️ Here’s to the next chapter. Truly love you all.
Sandy
