All around great experience working with Sonja!
Ralph O.
All around great experience working with Sonja to get our house sold in June Lake was an all around great experience, and an easy one at that. She was extremely professional, communicative and forward thinking. It was simple getting the house listed, professional photos taken and moving through the escrow…
All the gold stars in the world go to Sonja!
Chad P.
Super accommodating working with Sonja was an amazing experience. Being that my wife and I were initially looking for an income property from SoCal, Sonja was super accommodating in answering calls, texts and emails any time of the day. Once we shifted our goal to a full time residence, Sonja…
Sonja has an amazing attitude!

Sonja was amazing to work with!

Amazing to work with! Sonja was amazing to work with. She was very responsive and very clear on what she thought was a good value for a property. When it was time for negotiation she actually talked me down from overbidding and, we still won the bid. I highly recommend…

![Thinking of selling your home? Strategic renovations can help you get the most money possible. 💰
It may seem counterintuitive to invest in a home you’re about to sell—but putting a little money into repairs and improvements before you list can have a big payoff.
Only 6% of today’s buyers are looking for a DIY fixer-upper. The vast majority want a move-in ready home, so issues or dated features can be a huge turnoff.
That’s why we work with our home seller clients to identify the updates that are worth their time and investment.

There are a few different scenarios for homeowners that are struggling to make their mortgage payments or are “underwater” on their homes (and owe more than what it’s worth)—including short sales and foreclosures. While we don’t see many of either in Mammoth Lakes, this may be helpful for those outside the area.

Have you watched homes on your street sell for sky-high prices in the past few years?
It’s tempting to aim high when it comes time to sell your home—but proceed with caution.
The market is adapting to rising mortgage rates, and homes simply aren’t selling as fast. Unfortunately, the longer a home is listed, the more buyers’ concerns begin to grow.
Of course, you also don’t want to sell your home for less than it’s worth.
That’s why it’s important to work with a local market expert. We know the ins and outs of the local real estate market and what buyers are willing to pay today.
The good news? If you’ve been in your home for several years, you are likely to have a sizable amount of equity. That means you stand to make a tidy profit. 🤑

While I am often accused of being an eternal optimist, there are some valid reasons for having a positive outlook on the current real estate market.
When you’re hearing news about home prices remaining high, and mortgage rates skyrocketing, you might wonder how a real estate agent can possibly claim it’s a great time to buy. Or, on the other hand, you read that sales prices are coming down and it’s taking longer to sell because rates have gone up, it may make you question how agents can claim that it’s a great time to sell.
You might feel like agents always seem to be constantly putting a positive spin on the current real estate market, and think they’re doing it out of self-interest. After all, they only make money if and when someone buys or sells a house, so of course they’d want people to feel like it’s always a great time to buy or sell real estate.

"Sonja was so professional and wonderful to deal with. She stepped in when our original realtor bowed out after we drove 5 hours to look at real estate. She stepped in without a single hiccup and then stood by us as we negotiated the purchase price and was with us helping us get the mortgage. She was a full service realtor even doing things not normally done by a realtor. Highly recommend her."

Sonja is super excited to help her clients sell their St. Anton condo -- they are doing a 1031 exchange and will be buying in another state. The good news is they still own in Mammoth Lakes and will be around for years to come. A local full time resident is the new owner and will call this place home....just in time for the holidays! Thanks to Lauren Tracey and Sierra Escrow.
