Sandie Scherer

Realtor

Macdonald Realty Ltd.

I was born, raised, and still reside in Maple Ridge. I have been licensed in Real Estate since 1999. I worked with a high profile, real estate team from 1997 to 2007, where I received an incredible amount of experience and knowledge. I developed and maintained all marketing materials, handled client inquiries, drafted contracts and successfully guided both Buyers and Sellers through the real estate process. I was also very involved with subdivision process and spent several years on new construction sites assisting buyers with the vast amount of details involved with buying a newly built home. Throughout my tenure with the team, I recognized the importance of communication, sharp attention to all details and building quality, life-long relationships.

My prior employment history, spanning some 20+ years, combined my accounting background with my ability to organize and skill in ensuring that no detail was overlooked. I spent many years as comptroller for a Honda dealership and a large auto parts company in the lower mainland. I, latterly, developed and executed customer incentive travel programs which saw 50 - 700 + people enjoying the Nascar and Indy Cart races, as well as 7 - 10 day cruises throughout the Caribbean. I was a member of a team who organized yearly trade shows for up to 10,000 attendees, and was responsible for marketing programs, both inside and outside the company.

I have successfully completed a variety of courses offered through U.B.C. and B.C.I.T., and I graduated from Garibaldi High School. I continue to upgrade my skills through the ongoing courses to better serve the needs of my clients in our ever-changing industry.

I have one son, Michael, who is presently working toward his PhD in Experimental Medicine through U.B.C. and doing his research at B. C. Children’s Hospital in Vancouver.

I have two canine companions, who continue to amaze and entertain me on a daily basis. I provide support and care for my Mother, who lives in Maple Ridge, as well as my son as he strives to complete his dream.

Growing up in Maple Ridge, I have taken advantage of our outdoor activities with hobbies ranging from hiking, skiing, kayaking and gardening. I also enjoy the freedom of sailing
