    • 05/09/2022 - teacherkarina19 comBought a Single Family home in 2022 in Lawrenceville, GA.Sonia is really amazing at what she does! We did two house offers. The first one was tough because we had too much competition. The 2nd house offer was our best offer! Sonia shared her experience in the market and supported us our price offer and it was perfect! We got our house! She was so patient too. Ask her anything and she will find out. Send her an email and she will email you back asap. She goes above and beyond!

    • 05/10/2022 - jjj2718Sold a Vacant Land home in 2022 in Stone Mountain, GA.My siblings and I had Sonia sell both a house and vacant land for us. Multiple sellers, some of which are out of the country, added complexity to the transactions. Through all Sonia kept everyone on both sides of the transactions on the same page and informed of where we were in the process. Thanks so much Sonia!

    • 08/06/2022 - robinkohnBought a Condo home in 2022 in Decatur, GA.Hiring Sonia Hellen was the best choice we made when moving to Decatur. We purchased a condo sight unseen and Sonia was our eyes and ears throughout the purchasing process. We were on PST, and she was available to us despite the time zone differences. She is an expert on the area and how to conduct business both during the purchasing process and after, with excellent suggestions on how to get settled in a new city. Sonia assisted representatives on both sides of our deal to determine what was needed to complete our closing in a 3-week time frame. Sonia is extremely skilled at her job and she is courteous and wonderful to work with. I would hire her again in a heartbeat.

    • 10/15/2021 - karen stoutSold a Single Family home in 2021 in Loganville, GA.Sonia was an awesome agent from start to finish and knows the area well. She instilled confidence from the beginning to the end. She listened to our ideas and implemented the plan for listing the property. She was very attentive to details and monitored the property for us as we had moved out of state. She negotiated with the buyer, buyers agent, appraiser and others to make the deal come to fruition. She also worked with the closing lawyer in the end to ensure the settlement statement was correct and funds were transferred promptly. I couldn't ask for a better agent! Thank you Sonia!

    • 10/09/2021 - MeredithVan SickleBought a Single Family home in 2021 in Lilburn, GA.Literally the only agent who could have gotten us our perfect house.We were working on a very short deadline to find, buy and close on the perfect house in a market where houses were flying off of the market within 24 hours.Sonia found our family the perfect home, in the perfect location, and at an amazing price. She also made sure that all of the fixes and upgrades necessary were completed before close and by the sellar. We literally house hunted, found a house, put in the offer, got the inspection, had the minor repairs made, and closed on the house within 6 weeks. It was a whirlwind and there is no one who could have accomplished this feat. If you are buying or selling a house- Sonia is not only outstanding at her job and really looks out for her clients- but shes funny and witty and smart. Her personality made even the most stressful part of this move so much more fun!Sonia is your agent. Shes ours for life!

    • 06/18/2021 - taragandy3Bought a Single Family home in 2021 in Lithonia, GA.Sonia is hands down absolutely the BEST AGENT EVER!!! I would highly recommend her to assist you with your real estate transaction and there is no need to look any further. Believe me when I tell you this. We had a title issue which affected the sale of our home and Sonia was there to assist us, encourage us to stay positive and hung in there with us until it was SOLD! Any other agent would have bailed because it was a lengthy legal process. She stayed by our side and helped us find a new home construction. Again due to our legal issues it was not guaranteed that the builder would allow us to keep the contract in place, but WE HAD SONIA. She kept open communication with the builders's agent, encouraged them to hang in there with us and asked them to extend the contract date. THEY DID! It was all because of Sonia's professionalism, expertise in real estate contract language, knowing how to communicate to other agents and mostly WORK THE DEAL in YOUR FAVOR! She's trustworthy, patient, always available, has a ton of vendor contacts that can assist you and just an all around GREAT positive person. My husband and I are grateful to have been recommended to work with Sonia. She will NOT let you down. Sign the contract NOW to have her represent you. You will not regret it...we promise. Thank you Sonia for all of your help!!! You are simply the BEST!The Gandys

    • 05/08/2021 - Raza UllahBought a Townhouse home in 2021 in Sandy Springs, GA.Sonia was absolutely fantastic. I was willing to go higher than what we offered intitially since we were competing with multiple offers but we were able to beat out the others due to the strength of the offer and how it was structured. She was extremely helpful througout the process and was very diligent in keeping up tabs with the issues with the lending process. She was always available to discuss and i felt throughout the process hands down that she had my interests not only in mind but protected. She definitely went above and beyond my expectations, I was very very very happy that she was the one to assist me with my home purchase. Thank you Sonia!!!!

    • 08/26/2019 - susBought and sold a Single Family home in 2019 in Stone Mountain, GA. This was my 2nd go-round to look for a home, the last being 40 years ago. I've met plenty of agents. Sonia was the first agent who took time to ask me what I needed, what I wanted, rather than try to fit me into a home she had for sale. Once I made my offer and it was accepted, the purchase was seamless and stress free. I couldn't have asked for a better agent. Will always use her to buy or sell.

Know anyone that......Sonia knows someone Heard about going-on's....Sonia heard about that Need help with.....Sonia got a name of someone Smell that.....Sonia will tell ya to keep on walkin' Look at that.....Sonia is gonna tell you you really don't want to pay for that $$$$$ repair What about that other place....Sonia's already emailed or texted you a link about it.
