Extract from Profiles of  Success Magazine, interview by Kate Richardson
 
"When Sandy So arrived in Vancouver from Hong Kong in 1989, she was a single mother, had no sales experience and no Canadian work experience.
 
Now Sandy owns her own successful real estate business .......... Her volunteer work has earned her a high profile in the community and much gratitude from those she helps.............
 
Sandy's phenomenal success can be directly attributed to her personal and business philosophies.  Both are firmly rooted in a fundamental optimism.  In business, Sandy believes that it is important to listen, listen, listen; and that there is always a "yes" behind a "no".  Personally, Sandy believes strongly that it is always a blessing to be able to give.  "What you give from the heart to other people will come back to you many times over, both in your personal life and in business" ........
 
Sandy enjoys real estate because of the opportunity to meet people from different sectors of the community, and to learn every day ............ "
