Meet Pamela
A Few Words from Our Owner
My name is Pamela Cendejas, a certified real estate support specialist and proud owner of Second Self Virtual Assistance. I started working with real estate agents in 1990 after moving to Lake Havasu City, Arizona from Riverside, California. My prior corporate experience had been in the administrative assistance department of a land developer in Irvine. It was natural for me to gravitate to real estate offices since I was familiar with that field. So, prior to moving to Lake Havasu, I sent my resume to every real estate office in town hoping to land a job before I moved. I had three opportunities to interview and decided to work in the front office of the largest real estate office in Havasu.
Being a person who loves a challenge, I found myself longing for something more. I interviewed with a national nonprofit health organization and was hired to manage the Western Region of Arizona. Now, there’s a challenge. I was honored to support wonderful volunteers in their efforts in promoting health programs, fund-raising, and public relations.
After 4 years of feeling like I was running 90 mph with my hair on fire, I decided to take a little break and get some rest. It didn’t take long for word to get out that I wasn’t working anymore. A friend and manager of a local real estate office asked me to help out in the front office for a while until the regular office person returned from a family emergency. I reluctantly agreed and finally after years, I gave my notice. It was a great experience.
It was while I was working at the real estate office that I was asked by various real estate professionals to help them with their marketing efforts. I designed marketing materials including postcards, flyers and business cards. I also provided a bulk mail service.
In 1997, I was approached by a real estate agent and asked to be her virtual assistant. A what? This was back in the day when VAs were not very well known, but were gaining traction. A challenge. I was definitely ready for one again. I am still her VA, along with many others, across the USA. I love it.
I believe that everything in life happens for a reason, nothing is by chance. So, it’s very simple for me to see how my life naturally evolved to bring me to where I am today. Supporting real estate professionals who are challenged with finding enough time to maintain their online presence, marketing, and other administrative needs while also selling real estate.
