Meet Sandra Smith - Salt Spring Home Finder

When I moved to Salt Spring Island in 1997, I realized I had come to magical place. With its natural beauty and encompassing sense of community, Salt Spring seemed the perfect spot to raise my two sons, Tanner and Chase.

Today I feel the same: some of my happiest times are spent with my family, hiking this beautiful island, exploring all its beaches and scenic view points, and participating in the many community events offered. If there is a family activity happening, we’re likely to be there, whether we’re performing with the Salt Spring Fiddleworks, enjoying the parade at Sea Capers, or working a fundraising booth at the fall fair.

At my side, you’ll see my partner Derrick Lundy, an islander for over 24 years. Derrick is the photographer behind the colourful pictures displayed on this web site. Having photographed more than 150,000 images of island life over the past 16 years, Derrick is a well-known figure on Salt Spring.

Community Initiatives

In October Sandra donated $1000 to the SSI Land Conservancy to help save the peak of Mt. Erskine. This precious land has been saved thanks to the efforts and donations of many islanders. Have Sandra represent you in your next real estate transaction and Sandra will donate 10% of her net professional fees to the registered SSI charity of your choice!

Education & Business Background

With a post-secondary education focusing on business administration and academic studies, I bring a strong business perspective and entrepreneurial spirit to all my endeavors.  Before moving to Salt Spring, I worked in the financial services industry, helping people with their individual investment needs. 

In 2003 I started my own business on the island — Angel Cottage B&B.  Giving visitors to the Gulf Islands a tranquil and enchanting stay has become a labor of love, and I find it incredibly rewarding.

Now I’m able to combine these two business backgrounds to help you with your most important investment decision — “helping you find your way home”.

Community Involvement

Much of my recent community involvement has been as an advocate for children. I have served on the executive of the Salt Spring Island Co-op Preschool for four years, filling positions such as vice president and fundraising chair, and organizing various community events.
