As founder and CEO of The Hat Team, Sandra leads one of the most technologically advanced real estate companies in the River Region. Her industry colleagues call her a top professional, but Sandra calls herself a “rainmaker”: she is always busy bringing in new clients and keeping in touch with current and past clients. She does it in part through her service to and with the community, and her articulate sharing of her knowledge with local and national contacts.
In spite of her vast thirty-plus years of experience in real estate, she has an unquenchable thirst for knowledge to help her clients and prospects find or sell their homes. One of her successes is that she has earned the Certified Residential Specialist designation held by less than 4 percent of all Realtors nationwide. Sandra is most proud, however, of her team of professionals and their collaborative commitment to care for the firm's clients. Included on that team is her husband Jim, an Air Force veteran, who serves as CFO.
Sandra follows a time-honored code of ethics whose principles are loosely defined as loyalty to clients; fiduciary (legal) duties to clients; cooperation with competitors; truthfulness in statements and advertising; and non-interference in exclusive relationships that other Realtors have with their clients. Sandra has helped thousands settle into the quaint cottages, bungalows, and mansions in the historic Montgomery area neighborhoods. Her team is hands down the expert when it comes to Midtown Montgomery homes.
When not "working", Sandra uses her talents to help local non-profits and those in need. One of her pets, Halle, the office cat, was rescued from a vacant house. The office dog, OD (for Office Dog, so named because he was their first pet to commute to the office), was a stray left in a client's yard. She's extremely generous and has also been involved in helping neighborhoods throughout the city form better leadership.
She annually helps showcase old home tours in historic neighborhoods. She shares her resources with favorite groups including the Capri Theater, Friends of the Governor’s Mansion, The Archibald Senior Center, and collects coats and blankets for the homeless. Currently, she chairs the board of HandsOn River Region. Sandra has been recognized by the City of Montgomery as a Lifetime Community Advocate.
