From the July issue: A new commercial broker at Sierra Realty is also an Emmy-winning actress. Blanche Baker Magill has joined Sierra as an associate director of commercial sales and leasing. Clients and colleagues may recognize Magill from her role playing Molly Ringwald's older sister in the 1984 Brat Pack film "Sixteen Candles." The actress-turned-broker previously worked at Coldwell Banker Hunt Kennedy and decided to leave when she heard rumors that the firm was closing. The Real Deal reported that CBHK shut down in May. "Once I heard the rumor, I figured better be safe than sorry," Magill said. "The day I signed a contract [with Sierra] was the day they announced the franchise wasn't going to continue. You have to see things coming in a turbulent situation. It can create opportunities for people who recognize them. That's the reality we're living right now."
