My introduction

By
Real Estate Agent with Prudential Real Estate Professionals

Shortly after moving to the Northwest from Virginia 15 yrs ago I began my second career-real estate.  Previously I had been the Human Resources Director and Credit Manager for an NBC affiliate in Richmond, VA, which was my hometown.  I arrived in Stayton, OR by way of Seattle, WA and went to work as a Buyers Agent to the real estate agent who sold me my home after months of looking.  After several successful years together we formed a partnership and later established a team of five magnificent women!  Our team takes a great deal of pride in professionally managing the transaction from start to finish.

This is my first post to a blog and I NEVER thought I would do something like this--it's not comfortable!!!

Sandy, welcome, and it's not comfortable!  I agree.  But it is fun and I read a post on here that said it can even be healthful!  At any rate, have fun, enjoy yourself and relax.  Its my experience that the overwhelming majority on here are willing to help those of us who are new.

Sandy -- Welcome to active rain!  I hope you share frequently here as you have so much expertise and knowledge!  (I'm proud to say Sandy has expertly handled a few transactions for us personally and we think she is tops!)  To say that her team manages things professionally from start to finish is an understatement! 

I'll be watching for more fun stories, fascinating facts and beautiful listings (Leslie is a great blogger -- I'm sure she has great ideas for you too)!

Welcome to AR Sandy!  I am still relatively new here myself.  I will tell you that this is my favorite learning post by Turners Prospective ActiveRain Video Tutorial List.  I have a blogging coach but I got a little stuck when it came to the "how to" of everything--ok I was overwhelmed.  But the tutorial list is something you should definately bookmark because he updates it all the time.

God Bless!
