What Clients Are Saying

"When Kim and I first contacted Sonia, she came highly recommended.  At the time, we did not think we were ready to make a move to a bigger house, and were only half-heartedly considering it, leaning towards adding on.  Sonia came over and immediately boosted our confidence, as she pointed out all of the pros – rather than the cons for our current house and why she felt we would be successful selling in the current market.  We still felt we were not prepared at the time and decided to stick it out a little longer.  

We signed up for Sonia’s daily email listings and a few houses of interest came along.  Sonia took us to 3 or 4 showings and we hit up a few open houses but none of them fit the bill.  Sonia remained patient, positive and made a real effort to understand exactly what we were looking for and why (staying in Ipswich being the number one key requirement).  Flash forward a few months and lo-an- behold one Saturday morning I checked my email and there was a single new listing in Ipswich.  The size, surroundings and features caught my eye right away and Sonia had us in for a showing the next day.  Kim and I fell for the house as soon as we drove up and walked inside, and that evening Sonia was writing up an offer and advising us on our strategy.  We had our 2nd counter offer accepted by Tuesday. 

Now came the stressful part; we had 4 weeks to sell our house or lose our new home!  I personally felt our house was not prepared for the market, and that it needed no less and 100 different improvements before it would be fit to sell.  Sonia calmed me down immediately and suggested only two or three very manageable repairs that we finished right away.  She had an open house that weekend, less than a week after our offer was accepted.  It took another few weeks and some nail biting but Sonia ended up finding the perfect buyers, who were looking for a manageable started house to start their family – exactly who we were hoping to sell to.

Throughout all of this, Sonia made us feel that we were her top priority and was always available by phone or text to discuss next steps.  She was available to meet all of the inspectors whenever we needed her, and never once did she not have something done when she said she would or miss an appointment.  Although this was all quite a blur at the time, it turned out to be a perfect move for our family and Sonia’s dedication, professionalism and fun positive outlook is what made the whole thing possible in such a whirlwind timeline.

We would never recommend anyone besides Sonia.  Although she was the only person at Windhill I had the pleasure general, since you obviously place great importance on the quality and professionalism of your sales staff and the positive experience you bring to your customers.

Hooray for Sonia, and many thanks to Windhill for helping to make this happen!"  
Jim & Kim B – Ipswich

About Sonia Johnson

Sonia Johnson started her real estate career in 1999 working as an assistant to an established Realtor before becoming licensed in 2000. Having grown up with a focus on real estate through her parents' interests, she and her family spent many Sundays exploring open houses as a hobby.  "I just love what I do; meeting people, problem-solving, previewing homes, being organized, researching, and making people happy!  It all seems to come naturally for me.” Johnson has worked with customers in a sales/marketing capacity since she was 14 years old. She attended New Hampshire College while living in southern New Hampshire working toward a marketing degree. In 1993 her husband's job took them to the coast of Maine. They enjoyed living in that region until another relocation landed them in Massachusetts. Not wanting to leave the beautiful coast of Maine they tried their best to recreate their paradise choosing along the North Shore coast of Massachusetts. The North Shore seemed to have it all: great schools, beautiful beaches, quaint downtowns, history, great restaurants, a train into Boston, and a wonderful sense of community," says Johnson. They have resided in the seaside community known as Great Neck in Ipswich, MA since 1998.
