SELLERS:
"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!"

REAL ESTATE AGENTS:

wanted to take the time to share with you that you MADE THIS TRANSACTION!
From the start to the finish. You are a class act! You made us so
welcomed when we first were there to see the house and all the way thru the
process I told my buyers that we could not have gotten this house
if it wasn’t for you ! I told them you are such a joy to work with. I have been experiencing some terrible really
unprofessional agents that just do not do things in writing etc.. and just do not know, but you are on top of
your game.
If you are
ever in my area please call me and I hope we do another deal together!!
Thank you
once again for your professionalism”
Best
Always
Julie –
Lynnfield, MA
"Although
I have been a realtor for 20 years, I chose to put my offer through Sonia when
I went to her open house because I knew her as a friend and have worked
alongside her in real estate and she has always been an honest and trustworthy
person. As a realtor, I knew and she also
told me upfront that she was working as a Seller’s agent to get her client the
best possible price for his condo and could not help me with the offer
amount. She was very professional in
every way and I am sure both myself and her seller came out winners. I wasn’t even really seriously searching for
a condo and a friend cam with me to the open house and he tells others it took
me all of 10 minutes to decide I wanted to buy that condo for my new home, but
it took me a month to decide on what colors I wanted to paint it. I would recommend Sonia to anyone looking to
buy or sell a home. She made everything
happen and I adore my new home. Thank
you Sonia”
