Tales From the Trenches

Tales From the Trenches

On todays podcast Sharon entertains us with some of those juicy stories from her over 30 years experience as a realtor in the Vancouver BC area. She also is an open book revealing her relationship with her son Jason Priestly who wrote the foreword for the book as well as the tv and radio show interviews that she has lined up in this new world she finds herself in.
