"Homes By Mara's President Mara Navaretta ensures her agents are given the level of support and attention needed so they can deliver personalized attention and support to today's home buyers and sellers. In working within this type of boutique atmosphere, I am afforded the opportunity to provide my clients with a level of service that is customized to meet their every need."

She also worked at Century 21 Laffey in Greenvale, NY. Before venturing into real estate in 2002, Sandler owned and managed a printing brokerage firm, Spencer Graphics, in Old Westbury, NY. She also worked in the education sector as a head teacher with Ross Academy Montessori Schools in Ross, CA in the early 1980s, and in the publishing industry as a production editor at Random House Publishing.
