To use my passion for coaching and training to serve, love, and add value to current and future leaders, so they discover their God-given greatness and live the legacy they were created for, today.
Saundra Kandler is a faith-led business coach for top-producing women in real estate — specifically solo agents at a leverage ceiling and team leaders still in the production seat. She is driven by creating legacies through people, and is an expert in the fundamentals of breakthrough performance in Leadership Development, Real Estate Brokerage Operations, and Real Estate Team and Operations Strategy.
For almost 14 years, Saundra coached top producers and leaders while serving as COO/CFO of Keller Williams Connected in Fort Mill, SC — attracting, coaching, and leading agents in the #1 brokerage in the area, consistently selling over $1B in real estate annually. Alongside that role, she spent five years as a MAPS Business Coach before partnering with Debbie DeGrote and Ben Kinney as a Forward Coach, coaching top producers across dozens of markets in the US and several more internationally, including South Africa, Mexico, and Dubai. She has served as an advisor and coach in over 16,400 hours of business-building conversations since 2013.
In March 2025, Saundra founded The Legacy Collaborative, bringing an elevated coaching experience and genuine collaboration to top-producing women in real estate who have hit the ceiling that comes with production-based success — where the business runs through them instead of running without them. Her coaching centers on a simple conviction: presence and profit can coexist, and legacy isn't something to build later — it's built today.
Saundra has been highlighted alongside her team in the top 5 most profitable brokerages out of 834 at Keller Williams Realty, included in the Top 4 most influential financial leaders in Keller Williams Realty per OutFront Magazine, recognized as a top 20% MAPS Coach masterminding directly with Gary Keller, named a top leader in the Real Estate Industry by Women We Admire, one of the top 50 Fastest Growing Small Businesses in the Charlotte Business Journal, and a CFO of the Year Candidate in 2022 for the Charlotte Business Journal.
For almost 14 years, Saundra has been intentional about her professional growth to continue developing those around her to become their best selves, being more present with their families, discovering their gifts, and leaving the legacy they were created for. She considers herself a partner and a guide to each business she has the opportunity to work with — never as an agent herself, but as someone who has coached inside more real estate businesses, at a higher level, than almost anyone in her space.
The most important people in the world to Saundra are her children — Christopher, Adriana, Kadin, Kaitlyn, Brooke, and Declan — and her story of Growth, Authenticity, and Equipping and Empowering Others is a rare one that inspires others.
