Work with me

Sonja enjoys educating her customers on every aspect of the buying and selling process. For many people, this is foreign territory, and she strives to make her customers feel knowledgeable and confident in their choices. She encourages questions and communication throughout the entire transaction and well beyond.

When buying or selling with Sonja, she will be there to guide, help, encourage, and lead you throughout the entire transaction. This includes assisting in finding appropriate vendors, staging your home, advising on actions to take for the best outcome, sharing knowledge about the local market and environment, educating you about the process, and maintaining constant communication to alleviate any fears.

Testimonials

Sonja was fantastic to work with. My favorite thing about her is her honesty! She had our backs every step of the way and made the process seamless! She was knowledgeable and guided me in what was needed to get my home ready.

Anastasia Hampton

Sonja was INCREDIBLE with selling our parent's home. Since I didn't live in the area, everything had to be coordinated remotely. It was seamless! Sonja was incredibly responsive, clear in her communication, and was proactive in identifying what needed to be done before we listed the house. When it came time to negotiate with the buyer, she was a great sounding board. I highly recommend her!

Whitney Walker

Sonja did a great job of exploring different options and being patient with our questions/concerns, which allowed my spouse and I to be comfortable with the purchase we made. Highly recommend.

Jeffrey Falanga

Sonja was amazing!  She bent over backwards getting many of our viewings the same or next day. She advised us of the market and guided us in making a successful offer, but was never insistent or pressing. We found our home and love it! She is one of the best agents I’ve ever worked with and could not recommend her more!

Nick Gonzales

Sonja was so helpful and knowledgeable. We were overseas when we started our home search. She went above and beyond, worked with the 16 hour time difference, and was able to get us under contract very quickly. We were first time home buyers and she taught us so much. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone.

Lauren Melendez

Sonja was our agent to sell and buy and she worked her magic to get us the house of our dreams. Her expertise in staging our homes and knowledge of the market led to our home selling so quickly and I will be forever grateful. I will continue to use Sonja for all real estate needs in the future and refer any of my family and friends her way.

Jessica McClendon

Sonja was amazing. She worked with us and helped us get our house ready to sell. There were some repairs that were needed and she helped us get the information to get them fixed. She was very helpful in every facet. We sold our home while stationed overseas and even with the time difference was still able to work with us through the whole process.

FAQs

What areas do you specialize in?

Sonja specializes in the entire Emerald Coast region, encompassing areas from Navarre to Freeport, and extending from the beachfront to the Alabama state line.

How can I determine my budget for buying a home?

Sonja has a list of lenders she has worked with professionally and personally and is confident in their knowledge, caring, and capability.  Her contacts also include lenders that work with customers on credit repair to prepare them for future home purchases.

What is the process for listing my home with you?

At our listing appointment I will go over the entire process, explaining and answering any questions you have.  From there we determine what steps need to be taken to prepare your home for sale.  We go over the property from roof to landscaping to put our best foot forward.  A professional home cleaning and photos are done to ensure a picture perfect presentation.  After that I will market the property out to several websites, groups, colleagues, papers, online marketplaces, and everyone in line at the grocery store.  Multiple open houses as well as broker only tours will happen to ensure your property is showcased at the highest level.  

How do you communicate with customers during the buying or selling process?

I communicate with my customers in the manner they choose.  Some prefer face to face, while others like exclusively text based communication.  I tailor my style to best fit your needs.

What makes you different from other realtors in the area?

Education.  I strive to educate buyers and sellers on every part of the transaction.  Buying or selling a home is likely the biggest investment a person will make in their lifetime, so I want to ensure you know exactly what is happening.
