The Story of the Pineapple

Sandy Ginn April 12, 2023

My name is Sandy Ginn, and before I tell you about my passion for finding the right home or the right price for our clients, I’d like to tell you a little bit about pineapples.

You read that right: Pineapples. Now, I’m sure you’re wondering, “What do pineapples have to do with real estate?” That’s a fair question. For centuries, pineapples were gifted to individuals returning home from sea or travel. Historically, this sweet, tropical fruit was regarded as a sign of prosperity, wealth, and opulence – and the gifting of a pineapple came to symbolize graciousness, friendship, hospitality, and honesty.

You see, for me, real estate is not just a nine-to-five job where I mindlessly punch the clock day to day: Real estate is my passion, and helping my clients find their dream home or sell their current property for top dollar is transcendent.

The pineapple anchors my brand and symbolizes – hospitality, friendliness, and warmth – all the things we want and value in our homes. It also serves as a fond memory of my late mother whose passion was vested in her home and love of colonial architecture. I am excited to take a little piece of her on my journey with you!
 
Using my background in business strategy and project management, I can often be found reading the dailies, studying the market, exploring locations, creating strategic partnerships within communities, and connecting with my clients.
 
Why? Because I believe in working tirelessly to deliver the absolute best real estate experience for my clients – and that brings us back to the pineapple.
