Sonia Says, Stay Optimistic!

Thursday, January 28th, 2016

Optimism is more important today than ever in this current economic downturn. As a business owner, I believe that it is critical to focus on the big picture. Our clients!

When I started my career in real estate in October 2009, the market was somewhat flat and many people believed that Alberta was in a never ending recession. I had to completely ignore this pessimism, as it was like poison to my mind and quite frankly I couldn’t understand how this outlook benefited anyone. In fact, I distanced myself from those individuals who spoke negatively about the market, not because we weren’t facing challenges in our economy, but rather because of my committment to staying focused on the positives.  I found that working hard and maintaining an optimistic attitude every day was the key to finding success in real estate.

As business people, we are hired to provide the best service to each and every one of our clients. We cannot control external economic factors, but we certainly can control how we react to it. We know historically that Alberta will regain balance. In the meantime, I believe we must remain optimistic and exude a confident attitude. Our clients depend on it!

Warmest regards,

I Love Selling Sherwood Park Homes!

Wednesday, January 13th, 2016

As a longtime resident of Sherwood Park, I consider it a privilege to work, live and play in this awesome community!

Sherwood Park has been our home for over a decade now and I can still remember the excitement I felt the very first time I visited this place. I fell totally in love with it! It was as though something wonderful was about to happen. Well, it did! I met some of my most valued friends and clients right here at home, and for that I am eternally grateful.

My husband Eddy and I have three children; Alexa, Lennox and Eva. We feel blessed that they are growing up in a safe and happy community, attending good schools and have made some wonderful friends. Naturally, every parent wants to provide the best for their children and we certainly have found the best of family life living in Sherwood Park.

In following my passion for real estate, I decided to launch my business in 2009 and focused primarily on helping Sherwood Park residents. There was no question in my mind that it was the best decision I ever made. Having grown up in an entrepreneurial family, I had a strong business background and a proven track record in sales. My education was also in business and marketing. In addition, my branding with the use of animal prints was very unique to the real estate industry and my marketing plan for selling homes was very aggressive, which ultimately benefited my clients. Undoubtedly, clients knew when hiring me they would receive my “5 star service”. They knew that I cared about them and that I would work hard on their behalf to help them achieve the best results, whether they were buying or selling a home. Soon I became known as “Sherwood Park’s Real Estate Tiger”.

Today, I am fortunate to have worked with hundreds of clients selling hundreds of homes and helping peoples’ dreams of home ownership come true. Knowing that I have helped make that kind of contribution in someone’s life is incredibly rewarding for me on a very personal level. Having cultivated these client relationships is what keeps me focused and driven  every day to continue to help more and more people in the world of real estate.

I am extremely grateful and appreciative for the ongoing trust and support I receive from the Sherwood Park community. I must admit that it’s a lot of fun to drive around town in my animal wrapped “Sonia-mobile” and see people on the road wave and smile back at me. Sometimes I even get a thumbs up! It’s also pretty cool to be recognized by the kids when I’m shopping around town! I often laugh about it as I am just like every other mom out there.

Should you be looking to buy or sell a home in Sherwood Park, please feel free to drop me a line. I would love to hear from you! Many thanks and I wish you and your family a wonderful year ahead!

Warmest regards,

It’s a Perfect Time to Buy Real Estate!

Thursday, January 7th, 2016

If there was ever a perfect time to buy real estate, it is now! We are currently in a buyer’s market and that means anyone who is looking to buy or invest in real estate should capitalize on the opportunity of virtually rock bottom prices. In addition, mortgage interest rates are at a historic low, which is a huge benefit and attraction for buyers and investors.
