About

I grew up in Elizabeth, NJ, and still have family there. After one really cold winter shoveling snow and dealing with frozen fingers and toes, moving to the south was my next calling. Not too long after I found myself in sunny South Florida where I met a God-fearing man that became my husband. We relocated to Lexington, SC, in 2007, have three children, and now have a wonderful son-in-law. The natural beauty, family outdoor activities, and friendly community atmosphere drew us in. I spent over a decade building a court reporting business in New Jersey, New York and Florida where communicating and collaborating with several attorneys and judges was vital. After moving to South Carolina and spending a few years loving on our children, I developed an interest in the real estate market and began working as a transaction coordinator. Less than a year later I was a licensed Realtor® counseling my own clients to homeownership. I truly enjoy guiding my clients through the real estate search and process. I believe in having strong partnerships with my Realtor® colleagues, mortgage lenders, inspectors, contractors, insurance providers and closing attorneys makes this critical transition from a sales contract to a closed transaction important in avoiding unnecessary delays and stress to my clients. I am dedicated to listening first to understand clearly the needs of my clients in order to serve them best. I also serve my clients well by continuing to educate myself. I have gotten my RENE (Real Estate Negotiation Expert) certification, SRS (Seller Representative Specialist), PSA (Pricing Strategy Advisor), MRP (Military Relocation Professional) and SRES (Senior Real Estate Specialist). It is important to provide professional, current information and services to clients and their families. Lake Homes Realty is a natural fit for me, as I enjoy tranquil relaxation and fun the lake life provides. I enjoy paddle boarding with my children, boat rides in the summer, and I love a day at Sandy beach, sunning and swimming with friends and family. I am also active in my community and believe in participating in the activities that support the Lexington area, so I volunteer at my local church, am a board member of Cancer of Many Colors, and whenever the opportunity arises. If you are looking for an agent who listens to understand, enjoys people, is dedicated to providing thorough, professional services, and prioritizes making every transaction as smooth and seamless as possible, give me a call today. ~ Sonia
