Behind the Scene With the Augusta Team: Sandra Downey

At Augusta Homes, we take the time to get to know you, because building a home you'll love is just as important to us as it is to you. That's also why we make sure everyone on our team shares that same passion. So, we thought you might like to get to know us a little better, too. 

In our third Behind the Scene With The Augusta Team post, we'll introduce you to our Administrator, Sandra Downey!

1. What do you do? What are the duties/functions/responsibilities of your job? 

I am the Administrator. I work closely with the lawyer and banks in preparation for builder mortgages and closings for the purchasers. I also work closely with developers regarding our lot purchases and payouts. 

I am responsible for various other administrative duties including, but not limited to, file maintenance, closing statements of adjustments for purchasers, bank deposits, and – yes – even some filing.

2. What made you decide Augusta Fine Homes was a good fit for you?

I’ve been with Nuvista Homes as well as Augusta Fine Homes for almost 20 years now. It’s a job I love and the people I work with are fantastic! It's easy and enjoyable to come to work every day to a great working environment.

3. If you were a crayon, what colour would you be and why? 

Red – it’s always been my favourite colour – bold and sassy!

4. What part of this job do you personally find most satisfying? Most challenging?

It always feels great to successfully complete any task; there's something so satisfying about checking things off your to-do list! The most challenging aspect of this job is handling the builder mortgages – it’s a lot of work and very time-consuming but it’s also the most important part of my job.

5. What are your favourite things to do in your free time?

Definitely spending time with my granddaughter – she just turned one. I love to relax and read. It’s always great to get away from the City on the weekends for a day and head out to the mountains to enjoy the outdoors.

6. What would you say to someone considering building a home with Augusta? Why would it be a good choice for them?

Building a home with Augusta will be one of the best building decisions you’ll ever make. Not only are you guaranteed a high-quality product, Augusta offers the opportunity for personal customization that allows you to create a home that suits your exact needs. This, paired with superb customer service, makes the entire experience worthwhile. 

Stay tuned for future posts that will introduce you to more of our valued team members. Or perhaps forget the wait, and come meet us all today! We'd love to get to know you, too, and be a part of the journey to your dream home.
