About Sandra

A Dutch national, Sandra has lived and worked in France for many years. She joined Maxwell-Baynes in 2015 as Executive Assistant to Karin Maxwell and Michael Baynes. Over the years, she has developed an in-depth understanding of the vineyard property market and the particularities involved in transactions within this highly specialised sector.

Today, Sandra plays a central role in Maxwell-Baynes’ vineyard property business and its dedicated brand, Vineyards-Bordeaux. Acting as a key point of contact for clients, she supports the agents specialising in vineyard estates throughout the entire sales process. Her role encompasses the coordination and follow-up of each transaction, while ensuring that clients receive professional, attentive and highly personalised support at every stage.

Fluent in French, English, Dutch and German, Sandra is perfectly at ease in an international environment and is able to build strong relationships with clients from around the world. Her organisational skills, meticulous approach and thorough understanding of the complexities of vineyard property transactions are invaluable assets in her role today.

Career

Before joining Maxwell-Baynes, Sandra built an extensive career supporting senior executives and business leaders in both the Netherlands and France, gaining substantial experience in management, communication and project coordination within international environments.

For seven years, she held the position of Marketing Manager for France and the Benelux region at a German company specialising in roofing accessories. This experience enabled her to develop particular expertise in marketing, communications and professional relationship management within a multicultural business environment.

Since joining Maxwell-Baynes in 2015, Sandra has progressively developed specialist expertise in the vineyard property sector. Working closely with the Vineyards-Bordeaux agents, she is involved throughout the various stages of each transaction, from preparing property documentation and coordinating marketing activities to client follow-up and the overall coordination of the sales process.

Beyond Work

Outside of work, Sandra particularly enjoys travelling and discovering new places, with a genuine curiosity for different cultures and ways of life. She also has a keen interest in gastronomy and art, and in anything that offers a different perspective through which to discover and understand a place.

Deeply connected to nature and animals, Sandra enjoys spending her free time outdoors and particularly values simple moments away from the pace of everyday life. These interests also reflect her appreciation for meaningful discoveries, new encounters and the pleasures that make life richer.
