SWEETIE GARDINER-MANEZ: Former TV Host


Photo by Marlene Galeos
 She was Pasay -Makati Realtors Board (PMRB)’s bet to the 2010 Most Popular Lady Realtor contest, a yearly search organized by the Philippine Association of the Realtors Board or PAREB.

Being in the limelight looks like a breeze for Sweetie, and this is not a surprise to her friends and colleagues. As a student at St. Paul’s College-Manila, Sweetie already became comfortable being on stage. She was after all a Vicor/Blackgold dancer.

Sweetie was also in the hotel business and in TV show hosting at RJ-TV before she became a real estate developer and broker.

She credits her dad for giving her that break in real estate -- it came when her dad and his co-Rotarian put up a real estate company where she served as treasurer.

Currently at PMRB, she is Director for Public Relations and her  role suits her  perfectly well.

College Graduate: Mass Communication St. Paul’s Manila

During college days I became a recording company dancer (Vicor/Blackgold Dancer) then worked in a hotel business, hosted my own TV show @ rjtv “Sweet Talks, not just a talk show” and put up a real estate company as developer/broker.

How did you prepare for your shift?

What would be one major piece of advice you would want to share with someone who is considering to shift to real estate?
Study your craft well.

What other details about yourself would you like your fellow brokers and your clients to know?
Having lots of connection makes a difference, that’s why I’m also a member of Rotary D-3830, SASAA, PMRB and still in a way active with my TV & Radio friends. That’s what I call networking.
