ZillowVERIFIEDA friend referred us to Sonya and we are very glad to have found her to represent us. She and her team did a splendid job in accommodating our preferences and concerns even in the most uncertain of times. Sonya's passion for finding her clients a place that they can truly call their "home" sets her apart from the others. Sonya and her team always went the extra mile and took personal interest in ensuring that we were comfortable with every development in the process. Sonya was attentive from the get go until the closing - all the way from going over our budget constraints, taking down our preferences and deal breakers, timelines, working with the lender, etc. She was extremely responsive, always on top of everything and managed to schedule viewings for us in a timely and organized fashion. Sonya was up-to-date with everything happening in the market and was always there to guide us in evaluating the right fit. She took personal interest in coming up with an estimate for the appraisal (99% accurate most of the time). Since she also has experience in lending, she went above and beyond in helping us out with our lender when we were having issues with our home loan. Sonya reached out to multiple lenders on our behalf and helped us get the best rates and lender credits as well. Sonya is a great negotiator and is transparent & clear in her communication. We were never left in the dark even after the offer got accepted. Highly recommend Sonya to anyone who is looking for a home in the bay area. She is extremely responsive / meticulous / professional / follows through / clear in communication / highly knowledgeable with regards to anything in the home buying process. I strongly suggest being open about your criteria / budget and trust her judgments. Thank you Sonya for answering all our questions promptly and patiently. We feel blessed to have you by our side the whole time. It was a fantastic experience working with you. I would also like to thank Brian who accompanied us during viewings and was always punctual. You guys are a great team! :)

ZillowVERIFIEDWe have had the utmost fortune and pleasure in knowing Sonya and having her be our trusted realtor. During our initial set of interactions with her, we were very much impressed with the level of details she captured and very quickly realised that we would have our interests and requirements at the foremost during our house search. During the entire journey from initial interactions to actual closing of our home, we were deeply impressed with her strong expertise and knowledge, thorough understanding of the market and deep tenacity to locate and secure the best home and deal for us. Sonya is a thorough professional with years of deep real estate expertise and efficacious negotiation skills. Her astuteness in reading and responding to situations is commendable and she has been an absolute delight to work with. I would most highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to purchase a home/property and in the process make their entire experience seamless, smooth and most importantly greatly memorable.

ZillowVERIFIEDSonya is the best realtor in the Bay area. She is vastly experienced. First thing you will observe when you interact with her is her eagerness and professionalism. She loves to take on challenges, no matter the odds. She helped sell our house and buy another property by negotiating hard and smartly. She does her homework really well before taking up any project. Another superb nature of her is she will update you at every step so that you are totally abreast of what is happening.Even though she has a great team, she takes personal interest in every client she works with. She is reachable at anytime to bounce off even the smallest of ideas. Not a lot of realtors do that.She knows her numbers and neighborhoods well. She negotiates so good that you will save a lot of $$$. She does plenty of background work even before you put an offer or receive offers. Bay market is tough in general. You need someone who can be there at every step and tell you point blank about any property one is interested in. Sonya does an incredible job from Start to Finish.We wholeheartedly recommend Sonya. Thank you for everything

ZillowVERIFIEDThis is the third time we were selling and fourth time buying a home. Sonya and Eileen were amazing and the best agents/ team weve worked with! They put our interest above all, selling for the best $ and fighting for the best value in this extremely competitive sellers market. They were very detail oriented, considerate, and looking over every aspect along each step of the selling and buying. We couldnt be happier with the experience and results of our time with this great team! Thank you Eileen and Sonya!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe found Sonya through her website , and for the first few times we spoke to her we knew her knowledge regarding Bay Area real estate is immense. Other than being in the industry for 18 years its her negotiating skills that we were very impressed with. She got us into a contract for a home in east bay, at a desirable location just 10k over asking and with no other buyers. She was available all the time going over disclosures , running things by her legal team, providing contractors for minor fixes. Good luck finding these from other agents , we dont even get to speak with other agents beyond 5pm :)If you get to work with Sonya , we assure you that she goes above and beyond for you and your family.

ZillowVERIFIEDSonya and her team did a fantastic job! Her marketing skills are superb, as our home continually had the highest visibility on the various real estate websites for Cupertino while it was on the market. She advised us to make a few cosmetic modifications that attracted people to our home, and as a result she found just the right buyers for our unique property. Well done, Sonya!

ZillowVERIFIEDAfter meeting with Sonya, we were convinced she was the right one to sell our house in the Claremont Hills in Berkeley. Sonya was always available, reliable and had our best interest in mind the entire time. Sonya brought great talent, professionalism, creativity to the sale of our home. We certainly feel that she really went above and beyond for our best interest. She was a joy to work with, and made the sale of our home a much easier and more enjoyable experience. Sonya's marketing and pricing strategy was very successful. Her brokerage support team was first rate, too. I will be certainly referring people to Sonya in the future. Very highly recommended.

ZillowVERIFIEDSonya gave us excellent guidance, unflagging availability, and deep knowledge about a really wide range of homes that we looked at. Particular high points were helping us stay on a very tight time frame selling and buying at the same time ( all within 4 weeks) Sonya and her team helped us find the right home for our situation an a way to make a competitive offer in a competing market. I hope were in our new home for a long time, but if we were to move, I would choose Sonya again and give her nothing but the highest recommendation. Her negotiation skills are amazing and her devotion to her clients is unwavering! Best there is! Thank you Sonya!

ZillowVERIFIEDFrom beginning to end of a very stressful process, buying and selling, Sonya was amazing. Response time with her and her team was always quick. She is extremely knowledgeable and not pushy in the least bit. We feel very fortunate to have had her on our side! Would not hesitate to recommend her to family, friends....anyone!

ZillowVERIFIEDOur family could not thank her enough for the service she had provided from start to finish! As first time buyers, we never knew how stressful it is to complete the biggest purchase of our lives! But she made it seamlessly easy by being very patient and helpful to provide us all the information and to answer all of our questions. There are two things done by Sonya that gave our family such a wonderful home-buying experience: (1) eagerness to provide that aEURoeextra mileaEUR? to get the best deal possible and (2) to show that he/she cares for us more than a client but as a family. Not to mention, she was also the listing agent! She never took sides (between a seller and us) and she made sure both sides are happy. She even set up a meeting with the seller to give us a walkthrough around the house while on escrow. We are so satisfied with her service and we cant wait to invite on our house-warming soon! :)

ZillowVERIFIEDWe recently purchased our new home with Sonya. The whole transaction was very smooth. Sonya is a wealth of knowledge and we consider ourselves very lucky to be able to work with her. She is a strong negotiator and got us our home on our price and terms. In a few years, when we decide to sell our home, we will not even interview any one else. Sonya and her entire team are simply amazing!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe would highly recommend Sonya! She was the listing agent on our home. She sold our house very quickly and well above asking price using her strong negotiating skills. Sonya is very professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. She walked us through the process and was always available for questions. She is top-notch!

ZillowVERIFIEDMy husband and I were in the market to buy a home and we came across the Fine Valley team of Sonya and Luis. We were both impressed by the the complete team effort they provided us with and the sense of direction in the time we spent with them. Would definitely recommend them to our close friends and family.

ZillowVERIFIEDSonya and her team helped us in buying and selling our Danville home. We could not have picked a better team to assist us. Their marketing is exceptional and Sonya's knowledge of the market is outstanding. We were able to sell very quickly and hence were able to move fast on the home we wanted. It was a complete hassle free experience and we recommend Sonya and her team highly.

ZillowVERIFIEDMy experience with Sonya & her team as my real estate consultant in San Ramon first took place in 2005. Since then I have bought and sold several properties with her and feel truly lucky to have her represent us. I have also referred her many people who have all thanked me for it. Sonya displays extensive knowledge of the real estate market and explains the complex financial aspects of the deal in a manner which makes it easy to understand. She always offers great advice which has ended up saving us thousands of dollars. A true professionalwith a winning smile, I recommend her whole-heartedly!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe just bought our first new construction home in Dublin where Sonya assisted us. We saw a few resale homes but ultimately decided on the brand new home. Sonya was always mindful of our price range and gave us the pros and cons of a resale home vs a brand new one. She negotiated hard on our behalf with the sales team of the builder and helped us get a great price. She made the process very simple and she is truly delightful to work with. We will be proud to refer her to everybody we know!
