About Rolanda Wilson Rolanda Wilson was raised in Richmond, California with her sister and brother. As a child, Rolanda aspired to become an Accountant. She graduated from Sonoma State University with a Bachelor’s in Business Administration-Finance. Never in a million years did she think she’d stumble into the real estate industry, but you can’t always predict where or when you’ll discover what you’re meant to do in life. Rolanda was taught at a young age that if you want something in life, you must work for it. So that’s what she did. And she worked hard. As the years went by, Rolanda worked her way from New Accounts Representative to Business Analyst, never wavering in her resolve to become the best version of herself with each career move. Rolanda got into the real estate industry 20 years ago after the Dot-com bubble burst. After tirelessly searching to find a job in her beloved accounting field, she decided to expand her options to pay the mortgage on the home she purchased six months prior. She was driven by the desire not to lose her new home. She set out to learn all she could about the mortgage industry. As her career advanced, Rolanda found her stride working with Investors, First Time Homebuyers and learning about Down Payment Assistance Programs. She later became a Housing Counselor to expand her ability to help her clients. In July 2006, Rolanda opened her Brokerage, Sound Investments, Inc., to further expand services to her lifelong clients. She provides concierge real estate services from Residential Sales, Investor Sales, and Property Management
