This is a wonderfully written and downright humbling testimonial from my client Kelly, who closed her house yesterday! Onwards to a new life Kelly and thank you for the kind words!
I recently began a process moving toward many changes in my life. I moved to the burbs years ago to raise my kids. Then, this fall, as I watched my oldest son get on a flight for England, a realization hit home... the time had finally come for me to make the move back to the city and begin another new phase in my life. Exciting. And at times, daunting. I had a house to sell and another to buy and many other arrangements to be made. That's when I made one decision that I will be thankful for, forever.
I chose Sonya Cote to be my real estate agent. She was going to guide me through the process, understand my situation, and move me toward my future. Well, this was not my first rodeo. I'd worked with agents I liked, and they came through and got the deal done. But this time, something was very different. You know how we often don't know something until we know it. Like, if someone described a color to you, you'd get a sense of it but you probably wouldn't fully experience the joy that color can truly bring until you see it with your own eyes?... Sonya is that color. She assessed every part of my situation... simply because it's part of her process, not because I asked her to. She predicted all of my concerns. Sonya is an expert communicator and has a way of speaking to people and making connections that puts everyone at ease. And not only are deals made, but everybody's smiling while they make them. She can see through walls, I'm sure of it. She gets ideas about design and structure because she's been there, done that. She helped me stage my place and it sold in under a week. And then - I still don't know how she did it, but like any great magic trick, you don't need to know, just enjoy the show - Sonya found the perfect home for me, at the right price, EXACTLY where I wanted to live. That deal also went from start to finish in less than a week.
What can I say. it was not a fluke. She is a natural and she cares. If you ever need an agent or know someone that does, call her and witness for yourself the magical stylings of Sonya Coté, real estate agent extraordinaire!
