About Sonia
Nice to meet you, I’m Sonia! With vast international sales and marketing experience working for Fortune 500 clients and a Ph.D in Language Education, I am certainly not your typical REALTOR®. In fact, I go above and beyond as a one-stop shop for any and all of your real-estate needs, serving more as a counselor and advisor in your home buying or selling journey! As a long-time New Jersey resident, I specialize in key towns along the Midtown Direct train line in top school districts and vibrant communities.
My Core Values
Compassion:
I pride myself on offering a unique home buying and/or selling experience that is deeply personal and tailored to my clients’ needs. I’ve been in your shoes—I see you and hear you always.
Integrity/Honesty:
I prioritize open, clear communication, accessibility, and transparency throughout the entire process.
Knowledge:
I am a firm believer that knowledge is power! I aim to be your one-stop shop (from initial consultation to closing) for guidance, resources, and access to a network of lenders, inspectors, stagers, attorneys, and more.
Professionalism:
I am committed to providing you with exceptional service, dedication, and commitment in every facet. You and your family deserve top results and I’m here to provide them!
Efficiency:
Whether you are planning to sell your current home, buy a new home, or invest in real estate, I strive to make this process as easy as possible for you and your family.
Born and raised near Barcelona, Spain by a line of strong female entrepreneurs, I came to the U.S. to pursue postgraduate studies at Indiana University as a Fulbright fellow. I have had the privilege of living and working all around the world.
As a REALTOR®, I wear many hats! But one of my favorite hats to wear at home is the ‘mom’ hat. I’m the proud mom of two incredible kids, Victoria and Marc, who inspire me everyday! My kids and my wonderful husband, Eric, are the best support system I could ever ask for.
I love to learn, travel, read, cook, but most of all, I love what I do because I do what I love. Real estate, for me, is not about selling houses. It’s about connecting with people, listening to their stories, and working with clients that always seem to turn into life-long friends in the homes of their dreams!
I hope to be your North Star at Compass, guiding you home and providing direction and inspiration every step of your journey. Let’s get started!

"Sonia is a passionate and fully dedicated professional! Since the very first meeting we immediately felt that we were in the best hands. When you are about to do such an important transaction you want somebody next to you you can fully trust. From agreeing on the strategy based on her detailed analysis to choosing the right smoke detectors (on a Sunday evening) you can count on her full support! Sonia gave us the special feeling that she really cares about us. She didn’t only sell our house to our full satisfaction but also found us a beautiful new home in record time. If we should move again it will be certainly only with Sonia."

"Sonia has done a fantastic job at every step of the way, finding us the perfect home! She is very caring, helpful, honest, and dedicated to her job and her clients. She finds the perfect balance of giving you her expert opinion and letting you make your own decisions. Her negotiation skills made a dead deal come back to life and turn it into a win-win for everyone involved. The whole process took only couple of weeks thanks to her planning, coordination and follow up skills. She is always available to answer any questions you may have and goes above and beyond to exceed your expectations. We highly recommend Sonia to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a house! Thank you Sonia so much for such a great job! We would not have done it so well without you. All the best wishes to you. Your clients are so lucky to have you!"

"Selling a home first time can be daunting/intimidating. However Sonia made it so easy for us understanding how the the process functions. She availed herself to us step by step and for that we're eternally grateful. We're convinced if not for Sonia, we wouldn't have done as well as we did with selling our property and for the price garnered. Highly recommend her as an agent to anyone seeking to sell/buy a home. Kudos and thank you Sonia - you were magnificent."

"It was a great pleasure working with Sonia. She helped us to find the perfect home for my family. Then, she put our previous house on the market and it was sold in 2 weeks at the price we have targeted. Amazing! She guided us step by step on the process to sale and buy our homes. She is an expert realtor. She gave us very useful recommendations. She knows who to contact for everything (for the inspection for example). She is responsive anytime, any day. She is fully dedicated to her job. She is a very good listener and she understood our needs. In addition, she is such a nice and amazing person. Thank you Sonia for everything you did for us!"
