Thriving Triad I A Triad Real Estate Agent Story

​The Thriving Triad Home Buyer and Seller Program: Real Estate with a Purpose​

Joel Sandman, a real estate agent with Sandman Realty, shares a deeply personal story of recovery and introduces a new initiative called the "Thriving Triad Home Buyer and Seller Program" [01:01]. This program is more than just about real estate; it's about giving back and making a tangible difference in the community.

A Story of Transformation and Giving Back: Joel opens up about his personal struggle with alcoholism, recounting his second DUI eight years ago as a pivotal moment that led to his recovery [00:04]. Since his last drink on January 12, 2014, he has embraced a new way of living, centered on contributing positively to the community. He highlights the profound impact of substance abuse, sharing how he lost his best friend and uncle due to long-term alcoholism [00:32]. Joel emphasizes his commitment to personal growth, striving to be a better person and to show his children that he "didn't give up" and "treated other people well" [00:54].

Real Estate with a Heart: The Thriving Triad Program: This new program extends Joel's dedication to community impact into the real estate sector [01:03]. Here's how it works:

5% of the proceeds from every real estate transaction will be donated to a charity of the client's choice [01:07].

For clients who need suggestions, Joel is actively involved with two specific charities that align with his mission:

The United Way of Davidson County [01:17].

The Mental Health Association in Forsyth County [01:17].

These organizations are crucial in addressing substance abuse and mental health crises within the community [01:23].

Joel expresses that while helping people with real estate is rewarding, being part of "changing someone's life is absolutely priceless" [01:30]. He views this program as a meaningful way to contribute to that change, emphasizing the growing importance of community and mutual support in mental health and substance abuse [01:40].
