What can I sayaEUR| from the day I contacted PRIME to request Sonjas services we were in full action mode. She immediately had a proactive plan and kept us informed while we maintained our regular work schedule. Listing estimate was spot-on and my home sold very quickly . Sonja is supportive, caring, knowledgeable and works tirelessly behind the scenes. Her insight is an asset for any buyer or seller. Thankful she was my agent through this epic experience ??
We were first time home buyers, moving from Germany. I contacted Sonja in the fall of 2021, and although we werent looking to buy until Spring 2022, she always made herself available for a phone or zoom call, no matter the time difference. We ended up purchasing new construction, and she updated us weekly on the progress, and regular liaised with the builders on our behalf. We were never kept in the dark about anything, and she truly made it seem like we were there. The whole process from start to finish went unbelievably smooth, and we owe that to Sonja. I could not recommend anyone higher or with more enthusiasm. Thank you Sonja!
Wonderful experience. Sonja is thoughtful, intelligent, and super friendly. Susan and I enjoyed out time looking for homes with her. she quickly found our dream home on the Trent River in New Bern NC. I am using her again to find another piece of property.
Sonja is a rockstar! She listed our home and helped us but another one. We were so impressed with her professionalism, knowledge of the market, and the way she went the extra mile for us. Very grateful to have you as our agent!
I contracted with Sonja to sell my uncle?s home after he passed away. I can?t say enough about how helpful she was during a difficult time. The complication of my being 1000 miles away, with the added difficulty of the pandemic, didn?t slow Sonja down one bit. She recommended contractors and cleaners to get the house ready for sale and to take care of the house while it sat empty. Sonja made the process smooth and painless. From listing to closing was just over 2 months and I was able to stay home through the entire process.I would recommend Sonja to anyone seeking to sell a home. I felt very comfortable with her expertise and she has my complete trust.
I had a piece of property in New Bern and when i listed it with Sonja she had me list it a lot higher than i thought it should be. That is why I called her she not only got me twice as much as what i expected she also sold my property in less than 2 weeks!Never have I been happier with a real estate agent as i was with Sonja. I would not hesitate in using her for any of my real estate dealings
I bought and sold my first house with Sonja. She is seriously the best. She made sure I got exactly what I was looking for in a house. She is very knowledgeable about her profession and knows exactly who to contact if you need any repairs done or inspections completed. She takes care of everything. She kept me well informed through both the buying and selling process. If youre looking for a trusty relator who you know has your best interests in mind, then youll be in great hands with Sonja!

We really enjoyed working with Sonja. She was always very professional and extremely helpful. She provided wonderful advice to help us prepare our home for sale and she did a great job marketing our place. She sold our home in one week! She continued to advise us through the sale and closing process which went very smoothly. We highly recommend Sonja!
I would give Sonja 10 stars if it was possible. Sonja was the most helpful, professional, easy to do business with agent. She negotiated the best possible deal for me and made the whole experience quick and painless, I highly recommend!
Sonja is truly a professional realtor who knows what she is doing. She is a great mastermind at negotiations and will have your back 100%. She will go above and beyond to get the job done - even during the not-so-great Covid of 2020.
I bought my home while in another state and Sonja kept me informed on everything happening with the process of my home. Did not mind whenever I called her with questions.
We have sold eight homes with this past sale with Sonja being our BEST experience ever. Sonja exceeded all our expectations dealing with how quickly she was able to complete the sale and the price we received. Sonja was personally involved in every step to ensure everything was completed timely, accurately and professionally. We strongly recommend Sonja to anyone selling in our area.
Sonja was wonderful to work with. I am new to the area and she help me get familiar with the area and found the perfect home for myself. I always felt she had my best interest in mind and was looking out for myself. She is professional and personable. It shows she truly loves her profession.
Sonja was a pleasure to work with and looked out for my needs and wants in a home. I was a first time home buyer and she took the time to explain everything I needed to know.
She is wonderful!! We relocated from Massachusetts, not really knowing the area. She went above and beyond helping us buy our perfect home. She spent as much time with us as we needed, even showed us recreational areas that she knew would interest us. We never felt rushed or pressured. She was very prompt and almost immediately got back to us when we had our many questions. We had previous experience buying a house up north, but it is much different than what we were used to and she helped guide us. She knows what she is doing! We loved looking at all of the potential houses because she was honest and she has a great sense of humor. She helped us negotiate, even down to the morning of the closing during the final walk through when there was water damage from a leak on one of the ceilings. We were not disappointed at all. You won?t be either.
Sonja is wonderful. She is knowledgeable about the area, smart and great with details and follow up. I truly enjoyed working with Sonja. She made it fun and stress free.
We began working with Sonja well over two years before we actually retired to the area from Pennsylvania. What initially attracted us to her was her website. It provided the broadest range of information about the area, not just the real estate. From our initial meeting with her, she made the experience an adventure. Several times a week we received e-mail notices of new listings from her. On our seasonal vacations to the Outer Banks over the next two years, we would take a day to visit New Bern and look at eight or ten homes on the market. She understood what we were looking for in a retirement property and the kind of neighborhood in which wed be most comfortable living. She was very accessible during our home search, and with each of our visits, she gave us more of a flavor of local living, the areas culture and resources. Last November, she kept us grounded and represented our interests well as we traversed the home buying process. After our purchase but before we actually moved down, she coordinated work on the home, picked up the mail, and dropped by regularly to keep and eye on the property for us. She truly went over and above from beginning to end and now that we have moved in, we consider her not just a great real estate agent, but a good friend,
I am very happy to say working with Sonja Babic exceeded my expectations. My new home search and purchase in NC with Sonja took some time to get the right house for me but she never gave up. Being located hundreds of miles away in another state Sonja stayed in constant communication with me through sending emails and texting local home updates, and checking in with phone calls, a true professional.Even before my closing date, Sonja arranged a local mover to assist me with unpacking, as well as following up with me for weeks to see what I needed in my new home. My Prime Realty experience was outstanding, as I can go on and on about the care and attention Sonja Babic gives her clients before and after you purchase a home.I am a very satisfied client and recommend Sonja Babic at Prime Realty NC.
Sonja helped us find our home here in New Bern after a two year search! She was patient, listened to both of us, and figured out the key elements which we were really seeking and desiring in a home... very professional, responsive, and most helpful in getting a feel for the various communities within New Bern. We can easily recommend Sonja for your Real Estate needs.
We met Sonja (referred to us by a friend in CT) in Jan of 2017 as we traveled from CT to look for property in NC and SC. We just called her out of the blue as we were driving into New Bern. She opened her office to meet with us that day. We traveled back to see many properties in March. Hard choice between New Bern and Leland. Ended up in Leland. In November we found another property in New Bern. Sonja knew the market, gave us the right value for the offer and we closed on this one in Dec. 2017. Sonja was great to work with, especially since we were working long distance in CT, and was on top of everything.
I enjoyed having Sonja as my agent. She knows the areas and answered all the questions I gave her and with additional information. She also gave me time to make my decision. I would definitely use her again on my next move.
How can one even begin to find the words to describe such a hardworking individual such as Sonja Babic & how much she contributed to the sell of our home. Lets begin with the fact that she was without a doubt completely honest, open & realistic about what we should expect & the goals that we should set with the listing price, the current market (no one is more knowledgeable in our opinion), and the time it would take to get our house sold. She has an unmatched ability to recognize any & all improvements that we made to the home not only to improve the curb appeal, but to make certain that we were offering an house that a buyer could easily envision making into a home. Additionally, she provided us with resources that assisted us with some of the improvements that we made, We felt that from day one that she was TOTALLY committed to doing whatever it took to get our house sold & even though she had other clients, not once did we feel like we were not her #1 priority. I guarentee you that her other clients feel the same way. She is so incredibly organized & provided us with an estimate of a closing summary estimate that was extremely accurate so that we had absolutely no surprises when it came time to close on the house. You will not find any realtor more dedicated, knowledgeable to the degree of being an expert, honest, forthright, extremely confident & experienced with negotiations and completely committed to her clients whether you are buying or selling a home. We really just cannot say enough positive things that would come close to describe the absolutely awesome & incredible person that Sonja is, nor our positive experience that we shared during the sale of our house. Again, whether youre buying or selling, contact her ASAP and we promise that you will, without a doubt, have the same great & positive experience.
I first met Sonja in 2014 when the condo I was leasing was sold. Sonja was the listing agent on this property. This sale forced me secure new housing on very short notice. With Sonjas assistance I was able to find and lease a superb property where I have lived for the past two years. During this two year period Sonja and I stayed in touch as I looked slowly for a permanent place. She quickly was able to discern the type of properties in which I was interested from a location and features standpoint. She kept me appraised of new opportunities as they appeared. Sonja did all this cheerfully for nearly two years.Ultimately, she found for me the exact property in the location which I desired. She provided excellent counsel as we went through the offer and ultimate closing process. Sonja referred me to an excellent mortgage broker. She was able to connect me with the various tradesmen needed to accomplish necessary repairs/upgrades required post closing. She has been with me every step of he way for over two years and worked extremely hard with my best interests forefront in her actions. I could not be more pleased than I am with her performance.
Sonja is very knowledgable, caring professional that truly wants the best for her clients. Sonja lead my wife and I through the entire process of selling our home and buying a new one. We got very fair deals on birth the sell and the purchase. She really excelled at keeping all the moving parts going in the right direction, builder, inspections, repairs, other realtors, bank and attorneys... I would highly recommend Ms. Babic to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
Sonja went above and beyond at all levels! She is patient with her clients time schedule and extremely attentive to your needs. I would say Sonja is an expert in this areas locale and more than knowledgeable about local interest & activities! Sonja may show you some houses.... but she is searching for your home! Make no mistake, she will find it & you will love the experience! The team of professionals Sonja involves with the process are just as awesome and smooth to work with as she is.
Sonja was recommended by a friend and now we recommend her too. She was able to sell our house within a day of putting it on the market. And we didnt have to do anything. She handled all the details. She knows the New Bern real estate market well and was very realistic about what our asking price should be. We are convinced that it was this knowledge that helped her sell our house so quickly. Thanks, Sonja!
I am not a fan of realtors from past experiences but Sonja changed my mind totally. She was not only knowledgeable and responsive but she has a great personality and was so easy to work with. I was purchasing a home in a town that I knew nothing about. Sonja gave me great advice about the area and made sure I had telephone numbers and names of residents of my community to call for information. I would recommend Sonja with NO reservations. She knows the business well, gives good advice, and was a great support for someone who doesnt purchase homes very often. Thank you, Sonja!
Sonja is an amazing estate agent, and she was a true advocate on my behalf. She made my home buying experience stress-free and every step was handled in a professional and empathetic manner. She alleviated any uncertainties with timely advice and information. My circumstances were not the norm as I am living overseas. Sonja helped to keep both those acting on my behalf and me up to date from start to finish. I would recommend Sonja with confidence.

Sonja has been a pleasure to work with! She knows the New Bern area really well..and is most willing to spend the time needed to find just the right community, style, and affordability that we are seeking.
Sonja did an excellent job and made our home buying experience pleasurable. She was very responsive and maintained constant communication. In order to purchase our house we needed some repairs performed and Sonja coordinating everything. All of the work was performed by qualified professionals and all we had to do was show up at the closing table. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a real estate agent in the New Bern area.
Sonja was a wonderful agent. She sold our rental house and knows competent companies that can assist in any repairs that need to be done. She is reliable, responsive, and knowledgeable!

Sonja did an excellent job for us. She was always in communication with us and made sure all our questions were answered. I would definately recommend her to my friends and family.
After 3 disappointing realtors, I called Ms. Babic on short notice. She immediately pulled listing IAW my interest and scheduled visits for the following day. By the end of a very long day, where she made many helpful suggestions, she had papers all organized and ready for signature. She lined up the lawyer and we closed within weeks.
Absolutely wonderful to work with! Everything was done expeditiously and hassle free for us. Anything we had for her was done quickly and on point. Highly recommend!
Sonja is amazing. We highly recommend her! She is so calming and helped us throughout the home buying process. Im so glad we chose to work with her. She seems to know the area and by the end of the process, we were like close friends or family.
We bought our last house from Sonja. She not only showed us property that we specified but also those fitting our wants. The process was easy, effortless, and thanks to Sonja suprisingly without stress. She is an outstanding, excellent and comunicative realestate professional. I would use her services again if needed.
We bought property through Sonja back in 2004 with the expectation of building and retiring in the New Bern area. Sonja was extremely helpful in showing us the area and getting us better acquainted with what New Bern and the surrounding areas had to offer. The market swung around in a bad direction and put a kink into our plans so we have not yet made the move but still plan on it eventually. Throughout the years, Sonja has maintained contact with us and is always offering to assist should we need any information. An all around great realtor and person. I would highly recommend using Sonja for any real estate needs that you may have.
I have contacted Ms. Babic several months ago with a request to send me listing of houses for sale in New Bern. She sent me initial listing and then weekly sent updates plus added new listed properties for sale. Last month ( August 2014 ), I finally decided to pay a visit to New Bern and view houses I have selected as potential purchase. Since I traveled from Northern VA ( 5 hrs. trip ) we decided to meet day after my arrival to New Bern. We planned to see 12 houses. We met 10:00 a.m. and by 5:00 p.m. we finished. I was very impressed with Ms. Babic dedication and willingness to spent this much time with me to show mw properties and answer my questions. She came across as very knowledgeable of New Bern area and housing market. Since I have not made decision yet, Ms. Babic is diligently sending me new listings. I appreciate her persistence and help. I would recommend her to anyone.Steven
When I decided to sell my home I chose Sonja! She spent alot of time into the marketing and keeping me informed on what potential buyers thought of my home. Her knowledge of the area and financing were extremely helpful to me personally. You cant go wrong with her!!!! Job done perfectly from start to closing...
Sonja was our agent 8 years ago when we bought our first home. Throughout the years she has continued to stay in touch and has been helpful in answering any questions that have arisen. When we decide to put our current home on the market she will be our obvious choice!

I have had the pleasure of working with Sonja on a purchase for one of my customers on a property on 102 W Riverfront Dr, Trenton, NC 28585. Sonja provided all the documents we needed in a quick timely manner, and when we needed something, she was right there to send it to us. She has extensive experience in the real estate industry, and gives great customer service as well as getting large closing cost credits for her buyers. She is attentive, comforting, and goes above and beyond for her borrowers, and the people she works with.
I am a Mortgage Banker here in New Bern, NC and have worked with Sonja for many years now. As someone who understands real estate and all the many issues associated with buying, selling and financing homes for 25 years, I would highly recommend working Sonja. She is very knowledgeable, professional and attentive. In todays market, you really need a realtor that works hard and always has your best interests in mind!
Sonja is a real go-getter with adaptive skills to the ever changing ways of how perspective buyers view real estate. I have been impressed with her use of social media to get more people to look at the house we had for sale. We had a lot more foot traffic than with previous realtors! I really felt Sonja wanted to find the right people for our house which made us feel even better as sellers. We really appreciate her passion and commitment to her job.
I have known Sonja in two capacities, an agent and as a property manager. In both roles, she has excelled and gone over and beyond the call of duty. As a realtor, she was very knowledgable about the area and accommodating in regards to showing me properties. Within a week, I had found my future residence and and she kept me updated daily during the negotiation process. She also offered helpful advice to help me get exactly what I wanted.As a property manager, she has made my life easy by handling virtually everything as I am an out-of-town landlord. She has arranged for various services to be completed in a timely manner and helped to locate potential renters.If you are looking for a person that can help you find what you want at the right price, look no further than Sonja.
