Sandi Friel

Florida-born Sandi Friel and her husband Bob decided to relocate to Orcas after a vacation here sparked a long-distance love affair with the island.

“The people, the beauty, the relaxed pace… we decided we shouldn’t wait until retirement to enjoy this lifestyle.”

Sandi originally earned her real estate license in Florida in 1996 and partnered with a friend to buy, upgrade and resell a series of homes during the boom. The experience inspired her to change her career from marketing to home design and remodeling. By the time she moved to Orcas in 2006 and became a licensed broker, she had the perfect background and skills to help Teri launch T Williams Realty.

Resolving deadlocks with creative solutions, Sandi obsesses over details and market research, and applies negotiation techniques learned in her Certified Negotiation Expert (CNE) training. She specializes in helping buyers find the right fit at the best price and also enjoys marketing properties for sellers. For the first quarter of 2014, she was the top-selling agent in all of San Juan County!

Sandi enjoys a day at the beach with her Leonberger, Murphy.

Sandi has an adventurous side too. Bob’s career as a writer and photographer has given her the opportunity to travel the world and experience everything from snorkeling with humpback whales, diving with sharks and camping in a jaguar preserve, to plunge-pooling in luxurious villas on St. Bart — and after all that, she’s thrilled they chose Orcas as their place to settle for good.
