We have worked with Sonja on 2 purchases and one sale in the mammoth lakes region. She has proven to be very helpful in this market, most recently she tied us into our dream home before it hit the market! I recommend her without reservation!

Sonja is the absolute best. She is the number 1 “go to”, no question. Her follow up was close to instantaneous.

I called Sonja to find out how much my house was worth.  I thought she would do it over the phone but she kindly came round and gave me a full report of the real estate situation.  I wasn’t thinking of actually selling and did not want to waste her time, it wasn’t a million…

Even though we never met in person (mostly due to the pandemic) Sonja was great to work with. The house I was selling was a vacation home located 300 miles from my primary residence, so getting there to handle the small, but important details of making the house salable was difficult. Sonja handled it all…

She could tell how to narrow down my search right away, and what…

Sonja turned what seemed like a complex long-distance purchase process into a simple project.
