Achieving the American Dream has always included home ownership. As the daughter of immigrants from Greece. I learned early in life the value of work ethic and character. Being raised in a community of immigrants with English as my second language taught me the value of building generational wealth through home ownership. Legacy is built through perseverance and commitment.


This experience coupled with my vast knowledge in the Real Eastate industry is what sets me apart from other agents. Since 2000 I have been actively involved in buying, holding, and selling real estate personally for our family business. I am excited and honored to be able to serve my hometown community and their families as a licensed professional.


My favorite thing to do is spend time with my family. We have one daughter who lives in the Chicago area with her husband.  When we are not with family, I enjoy reading, traveling, and cooking gourmet meals.

Sandy was amazing! Before we started looking at houses, she sat down with us one-on-one to learn more about us, not only in terms of our preferences but also on a personal level. She took the time to guide us through the home buying process as first time home owners and all of the contracts involved. Since we were looking in the Cleveland area, Sandy traveled all the way from Canton to show us around 30 houses over the span of multiple days. She also took into account my parents' considerations without losing sight of what we wanted. When we were ready to put in an offer on the house, she was incredibly supportive and responsive to any questions/concerns we had while going through the closing process. Sandy is not only a wonderful realtor, but a wonderful person overall! We highly recommend working with Sandy as she will make sure to find you the exact house you're looking for!

Texting and electronic signing helped in our situation. Sandy had several housed in our neighborhood at time and we were able to change some of our strategy (pricing) based on her intimate knowledge.
We had such a great experience working with Sandy, while finding our first home as a young family! We had lots of questions and some nerves going into the process, but Sandy made everything seem manageable and exciting.

Sandy possesses extensive knowledge of the real estate investor market. She proactively identified suitable properties for my consideration prior to my selection of 1716 Myrtle Avenue NW in Canton. Throughout the process, she provided thorough guidance, highlighting both the advantages and disadvantages of each property. Leveraging her network of skilled contractors, Sandy was diligent in ensuring I found a rental property that aligned with my investment goals.

She took charge and did some much of the heavy lifting getting the homme prepared for sale including cleaning, hauling, inspecting and suggesting repairs and working closely with my probate attorney throughout the process. And she sold the home in 5 days after it was listed. BRAVO Sandy.

Sandy was a great help for my wife and I as we started our search as first time home buyers. She listened to our wants and immediately was helping us tour homes. She was also helpful in our preapproval process and other aspects of the home buying process. Within weeks we had found our first home and she was still helping us through closing. We are so grateful for her help and would recommend her to anyone.
