This was the first time I had ever sold a house and I’m so glad I had someone like Sophia who was knowledgeable and well verse to handle this sell. It was a little complicated but Sophia knew just what to do to help me her client make the best decisions.
Sophie Johnson was not only knowledgeable about all things having to do with selling a house, but also very kind and thoughtful to this seller who had strong emotional ties to my home. She answered my many questions and calmed my many concerns so that when the time came to sign my home away, I did so with a settled mind and no regrets.
Sophie Johnson was amazing. She answered all my questions. She prepared me for all the things that come up ahead of time. She was very professional. She made my home by experience stress free.
It is hard enough to find, bid on and buy any home in this wild, fast sellers market but it is doubly difficult to find and help secure a purchase within 45 days of my rental home sale to meet the requirements of a 1031 Tax Free Exchange in this market. Well, we successfully achieved this goal last week, buying a newly finished new build home in my preferred location with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. She ensured every detail as we got close to settlement and helped me complete the sale!
Sophie was amazing! As an out of town buyer she always whent above and beyond for us and made us feel like we were buying g a house through a family member. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to purchase in NC.
Sophie was invaluable in our search for a new home in Wilmington NC. We could not have done it without her. She was tireless in her efforts, checking and advising on many homes before we found the right one. She was awesome communicating with the seller's realtor, helping us set up the inspections and getting the mortgage and closing done. She did all the legwork for us as we were in North Dakota. Despite missing out on many houses, Sophie persisted until she found the right home for us. She helped us negotiate a fair price and guided us through all the aspects of closing in NC. Due to her efforts, we were able to remote close and it all went smoothly. After the closing, Sophie checked on the house many times for us as we were delayed in moving by the harsh winter in ND. She helped supervise some of the repairs like checking on the plumbers, the flooring installers and painters. I can't imagine a better agent than Sophie. We continue to get together for lunches and dinners in Wilmington. She's the best!
Sophie is very knowledgeable of available units on market and shows them in a very professional way and manner. She is easy to talk too and listens if you have any concerns. She does everything she says she is going to do and does it in a very professional manner. I consider her a friend and will contact Sophie for any future endevers.
When my husband Shawn and I found Sophie five years ago, we really lucked out. After just a few short days she helped us find and make an offer on our beautiful home downtown is the historic district. So of course we came straight to Sophie last year my son wanted to buy a condo in Wilmington. The 2021 market was already tough, but Sophie’s experience and knowledge of both the process and also market area helped tremendously. Every time a condo hit the market he was interested in, we would message Sophie and, within a couple of hours, she had a walk through scheduled. Her knowledge, dedication and promptness helped my son to get his offer accepted on an amazing condo, and she made the whole process easy and fun.
I can't even explain the highest level of care and knowledge that Sophie has. She is an absolutely amazing person. We met about four years ago when we were looking for a house in Wilmington. I clicked online on a property I was interested in and my phone rang literally less than 10 seconds later with her calling me to help. We live in Wisconsin and it is challenging to buy property in a location other than where we live. But not with Sophie. I believe we would not own that house and the investment property we recently purchased if it were not for her expertise. Both properties were sold and came back on the market because of "undisclosed" issues. They were very tricky transactions at that point with much competition, but she guided us with top notch advice and strategies to be able to get accepted offers among steep competition without offering more than the asking price. We love and care about Sophie. I promise, you will never meet anyone like her as a person and as a professional. She is as smart and witty as they come. Her beliefs, thoughts, and advice are genuine and full of wisdom. I'm hoping we can buy another property someday with Sophie. We have also visited with her at her Bed and Breakfast numerous times and she is the epitome of Southern Hospitality. I could tell you so many amazing things about her because we are not only business associates, but also she has become family to us. When we are in town, we actually spend time eating, talking, and laughing together. If you would like to know anything else, please ask Sophie for my phone number and feel free to call or text any time.
Sophie helped us sell our home a few months ago for top dollar and it closed within 40 days of listing! She was there with us every step of the way to provide expert advice on the sales process, staging, and what to expect at closing. Sophie is a lifelong resident of Wilmington and knows the town and surrounding area better than anyone. She's on top of market trends based on both quantitative and qualitative data. Sophie is not only a knowledgeable REALTOR, but she's an all-around great person who takes the time to really get to know her clients. She approaches each situation with compassion, a keen sense of humor, and an interest in doing what's best for the people she represents. We also worked with Sophie during the purchase of our home that we just sold and had such a great experience that we decided to use her to sell. She is fair, patient, and an excellent advisor.
We were very pleased with Sophie’s knowledge and thoroughness. She handled all parts of the transaction with complete professionalism.
"Sophie was fabulous to work with. She helped us negotiate on our dream house as well as got our house on the market and under contract in about 24 hours! The closing went very smoothly and her communication was outstanding."
