SANDRA RINOMATO
“In the end I want to make sure everyone is treated fairly and armed with the right information and knowledge. I’m able to make sure my clients don’t get clouded by emotion and stay calm and focussed so that we can create a win-win situation.”
In 2006, Sandra was cast as the Host of HGTV’s popular program titled “Property Virgins”. A perfect fit, this gave Sandra the ability to help first-time buyers purchase their dream home while being able to share her extensive knowledge with viewers all over Canada and the U.S. “Property Virgins” was consistently HGTV’s number one show with much of the success being attributed to Sandra’s natural ability as a TV Presenter and her no nonsense approach to real estate. She has built on that success to become a certified real estate broker manager and also spends time mentoring struggling real estate agents through coaching sessions. “Coaching is extremely important to me, I love it and thrive on it,” she says.
In 2008 Sandra released her first book titled “Realty Check: The Real Scoop on Real Estate”. Writing the book was one of her proudest achievements because it was a life-long dream and a challenge to complete. She’s also the recipient of the coveted Stevie Award for Women in Business for Best Canadian Entrepreneur, and has toured across North America lending her expertise on programs like The View, CNN, Steven and Chris, The Nate Berkus Show and Marilyn Denis.
In 2012 after 130 episodes, Sandra decided that it was time to move on from “Property Virgins” to focus on something new. Her follow-up TV show entitled “Buy Herself” helped single women navigate their way through the real estate process.
