From TV News Reporter to Real Estate Investor      Before beginning her career in real estate, Sandra was a TV News Reporter.   She has worked on the air at West Palm Beach’s WPBF-Channel 25, Fort Myers’ WINK-Channel 11 and Tallahassee’s WTXL-Channel 27 where she was a Fill in Anchor as well as a Reporter.  Sandra graduated from the University of Central Florida and has been on the Board of Directors at the Central Florida Realty Investor Association.  One of the largest real estate investor's associations in the country. Going the Extra Mile      Sandra was born in Jersey City, New Jersey and grew up in Plainfield, New Jersey and Port St. Lucie, Florida.  She has lived in Florida for more than 20 years and is a graduate of the University of Central Floridian Orlando with a Bachelors of Arts degree in Radio and Television.  Sandra’s career in real estate started after working almost 10 years in the TV News business.   Sandra Edmond has never let hard work stand in her way.  At WESH-Channel 2 in Orlando, Sandra spent a year and a half working the overnight shift.  At the time she was living in Orlando and would leave home at 1:30 am to work on the morning show in Daytona Beach.  Sandra Honored with One of 5 Positions Beating Out More Than 100 Applicants      In 1998 her hard work paid off when she was selected as one of 10 finalists among more than 100 applicants for a prestigious Broadcast Training Program sponsored by ABC News.  The Minorities in Broadcast Training Program launched her on-air career with a job in Fort Myers Florida as an On-Air News Reporter Trainee.  Sandra worked two part time jobs while she was in Fort Myers in addition to her job at WINK-TV.  FINALLY... On the Air Full-Time      Less than three months before her Training Program ended Sandra landed a job in Florida’s Capital, Tallahassee at WTXL-Channel 27.  As a Crime Reporter, Sandra worked closely with law enforcement and the court system.  As a senior reporter she spent time behind the anchor desk, filling in for the main anchors and on the weekends.  One of her proudest moments was a trip with educators to Paris Island, South Carolina’s Marine Corp Recruit Depot.  There she spent a week shadowing recruits… from the moment they stepped off the bus and met their ‘friendly’ Drill Sergeants to the emotional graduation ceremony where friends and family watched the new Marines get awarded their pins and high honors.  Home Again      Sandra also covered the highly contested 2000 election that cast Tallahassee in the spotlight as both sides battled it out in the Capitol’s courts.  At WPBF-TV in West Palm Beach/ Fort Pierce, Sandra came to her hometown area which covered Port St. Lucie where she grew up and her family lived.  Her proud parents could finally see her on TV and see why she worked so hard and where all their money went over the years.  In Fort Pierce, she addressed an auditorium full of young people about the importance of staying in school.  She’s covered political figures from President Bill Clinton, Jesse Jackson, Governors Jeb Bush & Charlie Crist to celebrities like Sharon Stone and athletes like Derek Jeter.

Sandra says,  "People often ask me, 'Don't you miss TV news?'  Some days I do, but most days I don't miss it.  I like being in control of my future and my financial success.  Real estate does just that for me.  It's a lot like the TV news business, in that everyday is different and I have the opportunity to touch people's lives that I ordinarily would have never met."  "TV News was very exciting; Where else can you go paragliding on Memorial Day weekend and get paid for it (I did this for a story on holiday business on Fort Myers Beach).  But every job has it's drawbacks.  Some stories and people are hard to get off your mind.  Those are the people who I interviewed because someone close to them died or was murdered.  Here I am in their home or in their lives for about an hour or two and after that I get to walk away.  I had the luxury of going home to my loved ones but they will never be able to do the same with the one they lost.  You feel almost guilty that you can walk away from the sorrow and they can't."    "It was my journalism background that led to my quick success in Tax Deed investing.  Those traits I learned as a journalist come in handy every now and then.  I can talk and relate to just about anyone.  The problem solving skills involved make me not take a "no" or "we can't" as an answer.  Oh and people who know me best say I'm never afraid to ask questions."  "One of my favorite sayings, Everybody has a story.  Steve Hartman a reporter with CBS News would go to the most rural locations and do feature stories on people.  In his pieces the person you'd least expect would have an amazing story behind their life."
