Sonya Dougherty - Testimonials

In particular, and especially, I want to thank them for Sonya Dougherty.I have purchased and sold several homes in my life and this was beyond any home buying experience I have ever been through.Because of Sonya's very relational and embracing way of working, this transaction was so stress free that I got nervous because I wasn't getting nervous. I caught myself being extremely relaxed when I knew I should be afraid and concerned.Sonya made sure that not only did all the detailed business get handled, but also she has a unique gift for being calm and she seems to radiate that to everyone around her. I don't believe you can teach that in a training class. I am certain that all of her future clients will be able to appreciate Sonya and have the most stressful business transaction turn into an unexpected pleasure.David Smith

I loved the fact that she was alway available to answer my many questions, but also made certain that every detail in the volumes of paperwork was explained in "layman's language" so I could understand it. She made the closings and inspections flow smoothly. I required no financing, but I feel certain she would have handled it in an excellent manner as well. She even physically assisted by transporting a few items that wouldn't fit in the moving truck. I would highly recommend her to anyone planning a move.

They are so professional. I will always recommend them to my friends. Jacqueline Carli

She is experienced and professional. Sonya takes advantage of professional development classes and work shops to insure she up to date on the latest developments in the residential reality industry. On a personal level no one works harder for you. Whether it’s to find the perfect home for you or to market and sell your residence. Sonya helped me both buy and sell homes on a number of occasions. She always goes beyond just the realty transaction to cultivate a friendship with you. I have referred Sonya to friends moving to Tucson and they have not been disappointed. She has acted as their realtor on subsequent transactions and they recommended her their friends. For these reasons I rate Sonya as an excellent realtor.

By far, Sonya is the best realtor with whom we have ever worked. Our most recent purchase had several complicated issues. Sonya was the problem solver. She was aggressive, but always polite. She has an excellent understanding of the housing marked. Her attention to detail resulted in getting things repaired that had been overlooked. Avove all, Sonya is as honest as the day is Long and we are grateful to have had her as our agent.

It has given me a tremendous sense of comfort to work with her. I have done home inspections for the last 15 years and have had the opportunity to work with many agents, not to mention the agents I have worked with buying property out here in California. Based on my experience with Sonya, I consider her an outstanding realtor and would recommend her to anyone.Bob Williams

She made a very difficult situation as easy as possible.

She does everything for you and more, always with a smile and you know it is done the legal way. All the small things that can turn into the biggest problems are taken care of efficiently. Also, she goes the extra step to make the move less trying for you. Sonya and her husband, Bill, gave us a going away party for all our friends and neighbors, which was a tremendous hit with all. It is so hard to say goodbye and this way was so much easier. Thank you, long realty, for Sonya.Joe and Mary Trigg

She was very knowledgeable of the area and home values, and fun to work with. She spent a lot of time helping us with the process, with no pressure to sign up with her, before we decided to engage her services. She was always available for questions and had no hesitancy about being there and taking care of things that came up during the home inspection after we had moved out of state. In particular she took great care to keep us informed every step of the way about every detail of what was happening. Not only did we luck out with finding a terrific agent, but she has become a terrific friend,

I had lost my job and was four payments behind. Sonya, on many occasions, would drive 100 miles round trip to take care of whatever the house needed to make it sell. She gave her all, knowing that she would make very little profit, if any. Sonya is a true professional, from the way she dresses, to her positive attitude.Ralph Portwood

She was also very helpful getting settled in our new place. We looked at a lot of houses and she really did find us the right house it has everything we had asked for in a house. We will definitely recommend her to our friends.

She broke the mold!

So is so kind ,trustworthy and knowledgeable that it made the whole experience less stressful than it could have been. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

We were fortunate to get a referral for Sonya during our last move to Tucson, as I was retiring from the Air Force, returning from living almost 4 years in Japan. We have three small children and had several specific desires for our retirement house.We met with Sonya and went over all our requirements, and let Sonya work her magic.She really has a gift of listening to your needs and of putting together a listing of houses to consider. While we had made several internet searches, Sonya discovered a much wider variety of homes that fir our criteria.While Sonya is extremely knowledgeable about the Tucson area, the different builders, school districts etc, her biggest strength is how available and responsive she is. Even when she is working a few different clients, you feel as if she is only working for you. She always returned our calls and answered our late night emails promptly.She was available at our convenience, including weekends, holidays, and late nights.Finally, Sonya goes out of her way to ensure the home buying process stays on track.Her persistance and tenacity dealing with the lender paid off when she corrected multiple mistakes and ensured our house closed on time. Working with Sonya is more like working with a family friend that has your best interests at heart.Liana Suantak and Randy Cumberworth

Knowledgeable, good contacts for repairs, great communicator, very helpful in staging, always available, she has it all. Highly recommended.

Her good communication skills guided us through the process, explaining the various forms and parts of the long sales agreement. She had our interests at heart during the home inspections and updated us on deficiencies found and corrected during the home inspection. Sonya participated with us on the final walk thru and the closing at Title Security. Sonya was helpful, dependable, resourceful and knowledgeable in finding and aquiring our new home in Oro Valley, Az. We recommend her to others in need of a good realtor.William and carol Dibbern
